A Terrible Spectacle.


BURNING OF TIE GOLIATU-EOYS ABOARD
The London Daily .Nctcs of the 2jd of
December gives the following account of
the burning of the British training ship
G0lidth: \ terrible disaster occurred on
the River Thames yesterday morning. the
G0linth, :: school ship lying off Gravs,
and having 400 boys on board, being de-
stroyed by fire. The full extent of the
calamity cannot vet be measured. but
many of the boys and one of the officers
are missing, and are thought either to
have been drowned or persisted in the
flames. The GOitaM WAS an old wooden
linc-ot-battle-sh which carried eighty
guns, with engines of 400 horse power
Some years AGO after laying by in ordinary,
she WAS lent by the Admiralty to the
poor law authorities of the metropolis in
order to try the experiment Of training

was an object OF interest to cXcur>ionis;s

were preparing breakfast and others clean

were below, many of them undresscd.
The Tampa oom i'll the fore castle OF the
ship, was the scene of the outbreak The
lamps used to light the vessel after dark

to have been the lule TO collect them every

the morning of the 23d Of December
when the brig was eighteen days out from

O'Clock in the morning. and found free OF
water. Abont six o'clock the same morn

CANDIED HONEY.-The candying Of
honey is due to part of the sugar becOm
ing crystallized. The honey is Just as
good and rs pure as ever. but not quite SO
pleasant to eat on account of the small
grains of sugar. There is no way known
to prevent this, and the best honey,-that
made from clover early in the season, is
more apt to be candied at the present timo
than the later made. BY placing the bot
tie or Jar containing the honey in a vessel
of water, with sticks under it 10 keep it
from direct contact with the bottom of the
vessel. and gradually heating it, the sugar
will be dissolved and the honey become
clear, and last in that condition greater
or less time. according to the temperature
at which it is kept If it should become
candied again. the heating may be repeat
ed.
ROADs.-There is rs much need to keep
roads in good repair during the snowy sea-
son, as in summer. Bare spots that are
swept by the wind, should be packed over
with snow when the sun is warm and the
snow soft 1t may then be beaten down.
so that it will not drift away. Holes may
be prepared by laying brush across the
hollow, and covering it with snow, which
should be well trampled down. Where
the roads are muddy, the best way is io
temporarily repair them by filling the holes
with brush, or by laying brush across the
soft spots; it is useless to repair roads
with earth or stone while they are wet
