Incidents Of the Disaster.

When all the various and strange incl
dents of the dread Lake Shore railroad
disaster will be told it is hard to say, but
many things occurred which are remark
able and worthy of special note. An
Irishman who lived near the bridge told
the reporter that he was among the first
at the scene and there saw a woman and
child hanging to Il burning car. He first
reached the woman, waded through three
feet of snow and water, and, after n Sc
we're exertion, placed her on dry ground
He then went back after the child, which
hung by single hand TO the car. Be
fore he could reach ita fame shot up and
enveloped it from sight. 1t had dropped
and sunk into the water below.
Another man was seen to emerge from
a car and i'll his frantic wildness forgot a
wife and child behind him. He had
reached place of safety before his loss
came to him. He went back to the car
door, saw his dear ones in the flames be-
yond recovery, and with remark to
some one near that if they persisted he
would too, he rushed into the car and
WAS soon enveloped in the flames, from
wnich he never reappeared. No one
knew who he was.
A remarkable escape was made by the
family OF Judson Martin, a gentleman
from New York State, who, with his wife
and two children, was on his way to JEFF
ferson, Ohio, to take up new home.
He first escaped and then some one got
out his wife. She was scarcely on shore
when she shrieked for her children
! They were yet clinging to platform ou
I in the middle of the wreck Some hero
whose name could not be learned plunged
in, and, grasping the children one at /
time, threw them into the hands Of an
other man, who stood with open arms t.
receive them. The younger child wa
injured somewhat by the fall and the ter
rife crash of the timbers. The famil,
were all saved.
A citizen OF Ashtabula, who was at th
burning wreck few minutes after the &c
cident, says that he saw two women leal
from car and plunge into the water an'
disappear under the ice.

SANDER.

Never use II lady's name in an I'M
proper place, at an improper time, OF in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think untrue, or allu-
sions that she herself. would blush to
hear. When you meet with men who
do not scruple to use a womms name in
a reckless manner, shun them; they are
the very worst members OF the cOmmu-
nifty: men lost to every sense of honor,
every feeling of humanity. Many a
good and worthy wolnan's character has
been forever ruined and her heart broken
by lie, manufactured by some villain,
and repeated where it should not have
been, and in presence of those whose lit
tie Judgment could not deter them from
circulating the foul and Dragging report.
A slander is soon propagated, and the
smallestthing derogatoiy to woman's
character will fly on the wings OF the
wind and magnify as it circulates, until
its monstrous weight crushes the poor
unconscious victim. Respect the name
of woman. Your mother and sisters are
women, and as you would have their fair
name untarnished, and their lives unim-
bittered by the slanderer's bitter tongue.
heed the i'll your own words may bring
upon the mother, the sister or the wife
of some fellow creature.

The Eclipses OF 1877.

During the year 1877 there will be
three eclipses of the sun and two of the
moon. The first is total eclipse of the
moon. on February 27, partly visible
from England and invisible in America,
the moon being below the horizon
through the whole continuance OF the
eclipse
The second eclipse is partial eclipse
Of the sun, invisible from both Europe
and America. It's greatest phase is
about one-third OF the suns diameter. 1t
begins on March II.
The third is partial eclipse of the
sun, August 8, invisible both in Europe
and America.
The fourth is total eclipse of the
moon, visible from England and partly
in the United States, taking place on
August %.
The fifth, and last, is a partial eclipse
Of the sun on September 6. This eclipse
will be seen from Cape Horn and parts
Of South America, but not from North
America.
In eighteen years there are usually
about seventy eclpses-twenty-nine Of
the moon and forty-one of the sun, or
nearly two to three. Seven is the great
est number of echpses that can occur in
year, and two the least. Ii there are
seven, five must be of the sun and two
of the moon. Ii only two, then both
must be of the sun, for in every year
there are two solar eclipses.

A Conscientious Plumber.

A gentleman living in Boston has dis
covered a remarkable plumber, who
richly deserves such fame as he may
obtain in newspaper paragraph. One
Sunday morning this gentleman afore-
said found his water pipe frozen. After
two hours unsuccessful work he went
forth and secured plumber, who was
able TO obyiate the difficulty. The citi-
zen wished 10 settle at once, but the
plumber refused any pay, stating that
he could not refuse such a call on Sun
day, as delay often caused damage, but
he could not conscientiously accept
money for work done on Sunday.

The details of the destruction by fire
of the Convent of st. Elizabeth, near
toilette, show an astonishing carelessness
ON the part of the managers OF that in
stitution. There were one hundred per-
sons, nuns and children, in the building,
which was entirely Of wood In the vii
lage itself there was no fire apparatus
whatever. The flames of course worked
their own will the structure was entirely
DESTROYED, and with it perished thirteen
persons. more or less. The question
naturally arises, How many boarding
schools, converts, hospitals, retreats for
the poor and aged, great homes for or
phan children, are there which are ex-
posed to Il like dreadful danger? In how
many. instances has it been thought ne
cessary to take extraordinary precautions
against fire, which should it occur, can
hardly fail to prove fatal to considerable
numbers?
"We are very much afraid Of fire, "
said the principal of young ladies' SEM
mary upon certain occasion. They had
reason to be, and the fear at least was
something. In many institutions, We are
happy to believe that all possible pre-
cautions are taken but there are others
in which the neglect is scandalous and
the risk which is run frighhul. Indeed,
there is nothing more astonishing than
the recklessness with which fiery cal
alnity is almost invited, not only in
schools, but in public houses, theaters,
and other places of human congregation.
In the large cities precautions are numer.
ous, and, if the law is obeyed, usually
sufficient. Outside the cities there is in
hundreds of places no provision worth
mentioning. The penalty for this may
be long in coming, but it is pretty sure
to come in terror and death at last.

Look to Your $1,000 Notes.

A new counterfeit 1000 greenback
has come into the possession OF the
United States treasury detectives. The
note was discovered in the West, and
the plate upon which it was printed is
said to have been in existence for two OF
three years, and is believed to be the
work of the notorious Tom Ballard, now
undergoing thirty-years' sentence OF
Imprisonment for counterfeiting. The
counterfeit is an excellent one.

A Child's Wish.

"Be my fairy, mother,
Give me wish to-day:
Something as well in sunshine
As when the raindrops play"
"And if / were fairy,
With but one wish to spare,
What would give thee, darling,
To quiet thine earnest prayer2'
"'7res Sttle brook, mother,
A OF my very owD,
TO laugh all day among the trees,
And shine on the mossy stone;
ITO run right under the window.
And sing me fast asleep;
With soft steps and tender sound,
Over the grass to creep.
Make it run down the hill, mother,
With leap like tinkling bell,
So fast never could catch the leaf
That into its fountain fell.
Make it as wild as frightened bird
As crazy as bee,
Withia noise like the baby's funny laugh
That is the brook for me :"

The following plan will probably sue
ceed in destroying Canada thistles the
first year if not, will certainly do so the
second. Plow the ground three on four
inches deep in spring when the thistles
have made goo d growth an plant pota-
toes. Then hoe the potatoes every ten
days, cutting every thistle as soon as it
appears with a sharp hoe just below the
surface Keep the ground thoroughly
hoed in this way. The thistles will be
kept down, and the potatoes will yield
an extra good crop, and will pay for the
labor bestowed upon them. The next
year repeat the process, planting beans,
corn, or roots i'll the ground, after which
the thistles will be very little trouble !;
but what few grow must be cut down as
soon as they appear. To be perfectly
sure, hoed crops should be grown the
third year,

Wade's Views.

New YORK, April o.
The Times furnishes the followiHg
letter, written by ex-senator Benz. F.
Wade, of Ohio, in condemnation of Presi-
dent Hayes policy, and which is now
published for the first time:
JEFFERSON, Ohio, April 6.
Mr.. W. II. PAINTER, Washington, D. C.:
Ny Dear Sir-Your letter OF the 5th was
duly received. You ask whether l rcmem-
Der what said in favor of President Hayes
in my endeavor to procure his nomination
at the Cincinnati Convention. | do remem-
Der it, after what has since transpired,
with indignation and bitterness Of soul
that l never felt before. You know with
what untiring zeal i labored for the
emancipation of the slaves of the South,
aud to procure justice for them before and
during the time was in Congress, and sup
posed Gov. Hayes was in full accord with me
on this subject But l have been deceived,
betrayed, and even Inundated by the course
he has taken to a degree that l have not Ian
guage to express. During the first month of
his administration we find him closeted with
two of the worst and most malignant enemies
of the colored race that can be found in all
that slave-cursed region, and there consulting
with those malefactors how best he can put
these colored people under the iron heel
of their most bitter enemies and reduce
them to a condition infinitely worse than
before they were made free. / feel
that to have emancipated these people,
and then TO leave them unprotected,
would be a crime as infamous as to have re-
duced them To slavery when they were free;
and for Hayes to do this to men who, at the
hazard of their lives, have given him the
votes without which he never could have had
power to do this, is terrible injustice No
doubt he meditates the destruction of the
party that elected him. A contemplation of
all this fills me with amaZcment and mex.
pressible indignation. My only consolation
is that history informs me that better men
than l ever pretended to be have in like
manner been deceived. Some have at
tempted TO excuse him by saying that he
"mcans WELL" but hell is paved with just
such good intentions. Truly yours,
BF. WADE.
