A SAD STORY FROM CANADA.

s A telegram from Ottawa says that one
of the most horrible and heart-rending
tragedies that has occurred in the viein-
ity of that city for years, took place up
the Gatineau. near the Six Portages. on
Wednesday last. 1t appears that three
little children, named Forrin. went into
their fathers barn. which was full of
grain. and set fire to it, After doing
this they climbed to the top Of the NOW
and jumped around IN merry mood un-
til the flames began to get too hot,
They then tried 70 get down, but found
escape impossible, and commenced to
shout for help, Their mother. who was
= short distance away. heard their cries
Of distress, and ran TO their assistance.
When she entered the barn sll she could
see was dense cloud of smoke and
fame and from it proceeded the most
piteous cries of her little children.
With mothers devotion, the brave woman
climbed into the burning NOW. No
sooner had she done so than she was
overcome BY the heat ana smoke, and
fell on her face in the hay. q short dis
lance from the children. Some of the
neighbors were BY this time attracted
BY the smoke rising from the burning
building and arrived just in time to see
her roll ont Of the NOW to the floor in
an unconscious condition. They picked
her up. but she was dead. After the
barn was burned down. the bodies of
the three little children were also re-
covered, and now await the action of the
coroner. Ar. Forrin was absent from
home when the unfortunate affair
occurred, and knew nothing of it until
he returned Much sympathy is felt
with him among the neighbors-

The GRAssHoPPER PLAGUE.-A cor
respondent of the New York Tribasae
gives some further details of the terri.
bic ravages of the grasshoppers in Kan
sas, some account Of which has already
been given. So complete has been the
work Of destruction which followed their
path that all traces of vegetation are
gone. whole fields of corn are eaten, trees
have been stripped of their leaves and
the branches left like the fingers of a
phantom skeleton. while the grass is cut
clean to the earth There are instances
related where solid phalanxes of locusts
dropped suddenly into great fields of
corn and the destruction which ensued
could not have been more complete if
hundreds of hungry steers had been
turned into the fields In their passage
on the wing they obscured the sun and
caused hazy appearance Of the atmos-
phere, and when they arose in their
countless millions the sound produced
was like that of distant thunder. In
many places along lanes and avenues
they eongregated in such immense num-
bers that it was impossible to drive a
horse through because of the buzzing
noises and strikings in their fright. At
times they came in such immense clouds
that on the north and west sides of build
ings bushels Of them could be gathered.
partially stunned by the sudden contact.
In an exceedingly short time they com
pletely covered apple, pear and peach
trees, shade trees and grape vines, and
Immediately began their destructive
work on fruit and foliage 1t would be
absurd to attempt to conceal the fact
that dire calamity has come upon the
western and southwestern portions of the
State.
