the fallacy of several maxims which

progress of medical science. The
false superstition that "Consumption

attempting to 6nd remedies for that
disease. and patients afflicted with it
reconclled themselves to death without
making al effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be una.
voldable. 1t ia now proved, however,
that Consumption cfIn be cured, and that
it has been cured in very greut mum.

and many a little. one went home re.

Ions, from St. Joseph. at a late hour in
the night and left it on the walk in from,
| of the store. Some time between the
hours of Il and 3 he was awakened by a
loud noise At thedoor. He quietly asked
what Was wanting, and the reply came
that peanuts were wanted. Not snX-
ioTs to get up in the cold to sell five
cents worth OF peanuts, he told the par
ties that they could not have them.
| They went away, and in u short time re.
turned and repeated the request. They
! were AGAIN refused. and 50 on for five
consecutive times. Finding that Kirk
would not get up to crafty their re-
! quest. they rolled the ciSk of kerosene
oil the walk and down the street below
the iced stable of Daniel Miller, and
deliberately set it on fire 10 crafty their
petty malice. We hope the perpetra-

the punishment they So richly deserve.

Sad Accident.

John Livingston and wife, living near
King City. Gentry county. just over the
line from Andrew county went to St. Joe
to spend Christmas, leaving their two
children, boys. to the care of a man liv-
ing with them. While kindling the fire
in the morning. which burned poorly,
the elder boy was told to put coal oil on
it. He did so, with the natural result.
The explosion scattered the burning oil
over the whole front of his person and
upon the lower limbs of the younger
boy who was standing near. A quilt
was wrapped round the elder boy by the
man, who then went after the younger,
who had run nj of the house, and was
with difficulty caught and wrapped in a
blanket, smotilering the flames. The
man then went to work saving the house,
which was done with a good deal of
hard work.. The elder boy was sent to
a neighbours for assistance, and on the
way his clothes recommended burning,
and the fire was only subdued by a neigh
Dor boy removing his clothes from his
person. The legs and arms of the boys
are badly burned; in many places the
flesh bas been literally cooked and falls
from their bones in pieces. Yet the
doctor has hopes of saving their lives,
but they will doubtless be inavery help
less and MANNED condition.
