DESERVED HONOR-Emerson Wight,
the mayor elect of Springfield, Mass,
commenced life as wood sawyer. He had
the contract with the Western Railroad,
now Boston & Albany, to saw the wood
required on their engines. and as coal
was not used in those days, the job was
no small one. With portable horse
power and one or two assistants, he kept
the locomotives supplied, gained the
good will of his employers, and put
money in his purse. Unluckily, when
off his guard one day, he fell upon the
track before an approaching engine. and
both his legs were cut clear off below
the knee. After short confinement he
was out again and about his business, as
lively as ever, having supplemented his
pedal extremities with a pair of cork
legs. His good common sense and
thorough business qualities have given
him, at about the age of fifty, sufi-
cient fortune and the deserved apprecia-
ton of his fellow-citizens. He has SER
we'd two terms as representative in the
Legislature, held various offices in the
city government, and will do honor to
the position to which he has just been
called.

the vast crowds of laborers of our great
cities. 1t would ruin every institution,
every enterprise, every industry. 1t
would make us nation of paupers and
vagabonds. But the bondholders would
still be paid their semi-annual interest,

THE BURNING OF THE REFORM
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

From the Montpelier Journal we learn
the following particulars in regard to
the burning of the Reform School build
ings at Waterbury, on Saturday morn
ing of week before last: The fire original
ed in the gas works connected with the in
stituton, and was caused by an accident
which allowed the gas to escape and fill
the adjoining rooms. The gas lgnited as
1t came in contact with the lights, and
filled the rooms with fame A dense
smoke and an insufferable odor filled the
whole building at once. and it was i'm
possible to combat the fire when it was
thus burning Mr.. Healey, assistant
superintendent, was with the boys in
the bunk-room, where he slept He
aroused them at once, and as soon as
they were dressed, they were marched
down stairs and out of doors They rem
dered such assistance as they were able
in trying to subdue the fire. The crack
engine, Seth Warner" was promptly
manned and on the ground, but the wa
ter soon gave out and it could do no
more. The fire soon passed into every
room in the building and in two hours
it was completely destroyed. Very lit
tie property of any kind, was saved from
the building. Nearly every officer and
teacher connected with the school, lost
heavily. Mr. Buss, an overseer, with
his wife and child, were driven out of
the house by the flames in their night
clothes. and had to 90 some distance, to
neighbours before they could find shell
ter and additional clothing. Mr.. and
Mrs. Healey lost everything, and among
the articles belonging to them, which
we're destroyed, was a very valuable
watch and chain, present to him. Mr..
and Mrs. Fairbank lose heavily, and, in
deed, all the teachers and superintend-
ents lose nearly everything. The boys
we're taken to the Waterbury hotel,
where they are now quartered The su-
perintendent, Mr.. Fairbank and wife,
were in Gardner at the time of the fire,
but fastened home at once, on learning
of the disaster.
The question as to what is to be done
with the boys in this emergency, is an
important and urgent one. Governor
Dillingham; and Mr.. Atwood, of the
trustees, in conjunction with Mr.. Fair
bank, have, We think, however, fully
and satisfactorily solved it. Opposite
the road from the school is large chair
making establishment, which is run by
steam. By building an addition to this
81 by 50 feet, three stories in height,
ample provision can be made for the
temporary accommodations of all the of.
fcers and boys of the institution. The
rooms in this new part can be fully
heated by steam, and steam can also b.
E used for cooking and laundry purposes.
There appears to be but little doub
that an early session of the Legislature
will be called to authorize the trustee
to rebuild the school. Without such &C
ton, at least three years must elapse be
! fore the school can be rebuilt and agai
- in working order-a length of tim
which would prove fatal to its ehicienc
and usefulness.

THE OLD STORY.

To-day there walks with head erect a
man who, after running an innocent, un-
suspecting girl. married another, who
was almost her near neighbor. His wife
is very beautiful and attractive. When
the story reached her ears, and the poor
little babe was brought to her notice, her
heart almost broke, and she resolved to
leave the man. although he had only
been her husband few months. Rela-
tons thought it best to take no steps IN
the matter. and she was dissuaded from
obtaining a divorce. But the. smooth
faced villain was not content with the
misery he had wrought, but sought to re-
gain his power over the girl during the
temporary absence of his wife. Poor
thing, she was trying so hard to be wor-
thy the forgiveness of her father and sis
ter who had not cast her off. One day,
car filled with passengers was passing
down the street. One young man In
the car called the attention of another to
beautiful girl who was about entering
a store and named her as the mistress OF
-. He had mistaken the innocent
young sister, and a woman in the car.
who overheard the remark and knew the
girl, made it her business to call at the
house of the two sisters and relate what
occurred in the cars. The young lady
turned upon her unfortunate sister. and
| with vehemence reproached her for the
disgrace she had brought upon the fami-
ly, and added that she could no longer
live in the same house with her, but
would hereafter live with relative in
another city. where she could escape in
suits. The poor wounded heart gave
way, and the forsaken one fell to the
floor in strong commissions. In three days
she died. Her betrayer sat upon the
steps of his father-in. laws dwelling and
watched the funeral as it passed. Wash.
