FIRE.-About quarter past O'Clock We'd
nesday morning the wooden wing in which
is the bakery attached to Providence Orphan
Asylum, on the corner of Pearl and futile
streets, was discovered to be on fire. The
Convent " bell was rung; but, as it is
often rung about that hour for services, it
created no general alarm, till the college
bell was rung for fire, when the firemen and
citizens turned out in numbers. The Volun-
teer Hose Co. had received the alarm before
this, and were very promptly on the spot,
and soon had streams on from two lines Of
hose, from the hydrant on the corner of
Pearl and futile streets. Star and Clipper
Hose Companies were also soon on hand, as
We're the Ethan Allen and Boxer Engine
Companies, with their enachines The
Ethans drew water from the convent els
tern and did good service. Hook and Ladder
Co. No. came in good season, and found
an active market for their ladders. A line
of hose was laid from the hydrant on the
grounds of L. c. LOOMS, and one from the
hydrant corner of College and futile streets,
and "A all five streams were put upon the
fire. The flames lurked. however, in the
partitions and under the roof, and it was
only by cutting holes through the roof and
walls that the fire could be reached, and
1t was an hour before it was wholly ex-
tinguished. A brick partition through the
middle Of the ell kept the fire from extending
under the roof towards the main building, or
1t would have been still longer operation.
The fire caught where the ilues from the
ovens, which are outside the main wall of
the bakery, pass through the wooden wall
into the chimney at the south end of the ell.
The ovens were heated for baking, last
night, and the brick work of the ilues ap-
parently became hot enough to set on fire
the wood work around them. 1t was very
fortunate that this did not occur in the
night. The second story over the bakery is
a dormitory for the children, and had the |
fire got under Roadway few hours sooner, |
some might have been suiiOcated. As it |
was, the alarm and confusion created in
household containing Is small children, was
not small. The smaller children, however,
were safely removed to the residence of Mrs.
Tucker, on Pearl street and though some of
the furniture was removed from the main
building, not much damage was done except
to the ell. Bishop DeGoes5riand was at
the Asylum when the fire broke out and
was active in giving the alarm
The loss may amount to several hundred
dollars. and is covered By insurance, in the

SHORT HORNs.-Ihe sale of Short Horns
belonging to the estate of the late George
V. Hoyle, of Champaign, n Y, took place
on the 23d inst. as advertised. The prices,
though not high, were on the whole very
liberal, considering the condition of the
animals. Some of the pedigrees were good,
and the animals, though not in good condi-
ton to command high prices, brought prices
that opened the eyes of some of the iri5e
men. There were many Of that class in at
tendance-thc penny wise. The sheep were
all sold, and at very satisfactory prices.
The sheep were in splendid condition, and
if the man in charge the past winter had
been as good 4 herdsman as a shepherd, the
result Of the sale would have been very diff
ferent That the man loved his sheep, and
that the sheep had his tender care and pro-
lection, was quite apparent. The sheep
brought from SEQ to 500 each. We give

condition. and brought very low prices

DR.. cLARK's REMARKS.

DR.. Clark next addressed the meeting
He said the Christian population Of India
now numbers 100000. In this country
there is Christian minister to every 800 of
the population. In India the Board will be
content if it can send one missionary to
every 100 600. 1t cannot do that now, and
it greatly desires to send out twelve or
fifteen more men in order to approach that
ratio. For the rest it relies on native preach
ers and teachers. These show great
ability We have a Brahmin preacher
whose sermons are barely surpassed by those
of the missionary after careful preparation.
1t is asked why do this? Why not educate
in this country? First because of the econo-
my Of instruction on the spot. 1t costs not
one tenth as much to educate young man
for the ministry in India, as in this country
We can educate them there for $50 year,
ard when educated they are more fit for the
work there than they would be if educated
in this country. DR.. Clark spoke of the
general economy of the missionary work.
In heather lands every dollar goes ten
times as far rs here. Thirty dollars year
will board and teach girl in school, while
SIC, 900 will carry on the missionary work
for district as large as Vermont.
lie spoke of the encouraging tidings from
Japan. where all restrictions on the Gospel
have just been done away, and where the
people are eager to be taught, and are in
telligent and open to the truth The Board
feels that year now in Japan Is worth ten
years at any other time, and it desires and
intends u send supply of missionaries
there without delay. He alluded to the
work in Mexico, Spain and other Catholic
countries, which are most encouraging
fields. In closing he urged the duty of de-
voting more of our young men and women
to the missionary work. lie hoped to secure
some from Burlington.
The meeting was of high interest through
out The meeting of ladies Friday after
noon was well attended 1t was addressed
in a very interesting manner by Mrs
Capron, and steps were taken to organize
an association in aid of the Woman's Board
of Missions.

Mr.. Capron spoke of IL work in India,
and of the obstacles from customs Of long
continuance. We hear talk sometimes OF
caste in this country; but there Is no caste
here We know nothing of diyinely estab-
lished differences at birth. of a caste, for IN
stance, like the Brahmins, diyinely ordained
to be worshipped by all other caStes. Caste
has immense force in India but even that
has been overcome by Christianity. There
are Christians of all castles, and we have
Brahmin Christian preachers. Mr.. Capron
alluded 10 the many superStitions Of India,
and to the condition Of the women. In India
it is considered disgrace for woman to
read. because only the loose women OF the
temples read, and because, till the mission
aries came. there were no books in the Ian
guage. save such as were unfit to be read
The influence Of Christianity has overcome
these superstitions and prejudices, as far as
it prevails. And it makes progress. In
twenty years, the Christian population OF
India has doubled. There are 800 church
members in the Madura district. in thirty
churches, fourteen of which are sell-sup-
porting and ask no aid from the Board.

MoNTrELIER-G rand Juryman j +. Seayer
Is doing his duty iearlessly in suppressing
the sale Of intoxicating liquors in Mont
pelicr Wednesday, J. E. flanagan, who
has heretofore kept hole 80 near State
street bridge, was arraigned before Justice
Robinson, for selling liquor to one Cady,
Of Mortified As Flanagan had tco pre-
vious convictions recorded against him, his
counscl-Gleason Il Field and F. V. Ran
dall-chose to submit his case to a jury
which was substantially selected by them
selves, the counsel for the State. II. Pit
Minimizing objection to only two names
drawn by the officer, those being persons
heretofore engaged in the same business,
while the defendants counsel peremptorily
challenged fourteen. There were two draw
ings before the required number were
found that could serve. The trial resulted
in disagreement Of the Jury, it being I'M
derstood that they were equally divided
three for conviction and three for acquittal.
Another trial is to be had some day next
week
The trial Of Capt John W. Clark for
breach Of the peace in the Clark-Atkins
fracas, Thursday morning, was n very
short one, Mr. Clark submitting the case to
the Courton the evidence already before it
in the case Of State vs.. Hiram Atkins, and
admitting that, as the evidence stood, he
was perhaps Technically guilty Of breach of
the peace. Thereupon Justice Robinson
fined him $40 and costs, amounting in all to
S29.3S, from which Capt. Clark took an
appeal to the County Court As it is
probable that the appeal will never be
entered, the affair may be regarded as at an
end
The snow has almost entirely disappear
ed, and our streets are fast becoming
settled, and some of them quite dusty.
Mr. Rawson, who has laid in the county
Jail since about the first of November last,
refusing to disclose of whom he obtained
the liquor which caused his int0xication,
came to the conclusion that he had better
yield to the demands of law, and Monday
morning swore the liquor upon Redfeld Il
Bascom, druggists, and j. f. Flanagan.
The latter is the same person who was tried
before a jury for similar offence, on
Thursday last, and the jury failed to agree.
1t is doubtful if he can now escape the
penalty of third offence. The hearing
will be held on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The genial, spring-like suns of the past
few days have set our people thinking of
their gardens, and the possibility Of early
vegetables.

NEW LIGHT HOUSES ON LAKE CnAMPLAIS.
AT the opening of the present season of
navigation, pilots will have the benefit of a
new Light House which the government
has built during the past year, on BARRIERS
Point. two and half miles south of West
port, n. Y. A light has long been needed
at that point, as vessels coming from the
South are apt to run too close to the shore,
While to those coming out of the bay at
Nestport, running south, it will also I'M
doubleday prove great convenience. The
Light House building is somewhat different
from those previously built on the lake.
Instead of the stone tower with dwelling at
tached, this consists of dwelling and tower
all in one, the first story being of stone, the
second Mansard roof, while out of the
centre of the front rises a wooden tower,
some ten feet in height, surmounted by the
usual lantern. As usual with government
works it is built of the best materials and
in the most substantial manner.
The focal plane of the light is eighty-three
feet above the ordinary level of the lake.
The Illuminating apparatus is dioptric, of
the fifth order of the system of Fresnel,
showing 4 fixed white light, to be seen at
the distance Of ten statute miles. During
the coming summer, another Light House,
exactly similar to this at BARRIERS Point,
will be built on the bluff shore, on the west
side Of Nalcour Island, about five miles
southof Plattsburgh The contractors for
the construction of these houses are 5. W.
Clark a Co., of Willsboro, N. Y. The work
is being done under the capable superinten-
dence Of Mr.. A. r. Dow, assistant super
intendent of Light House construction.
The time is within the memory of many
a sailornow running on the lake, when there
We're scarcely any lights at all, and they
were compelled to go almost entirely by
landmarks With these new lights, the
lake viii be fairly lighted from one end to
the other, though there are several points
where light houses might be placed to ad-
vantage.
