BURNING OF VESSEL FRAME.-At
Chester, Pa, yesterday morning, the
hull Of large unfinished three-inasted
schooner, lying at the ship yard Of Sam
uel II. Stevenson, was destroyed BY fire.
Owing to the great scarcity OF watsr the
firemen were unable to save the burning
vessel, but succeeded in saving the SUR
rounding buildings. The fire for time
was very fierce and the heat SO intense
that it was almost impossible for the
firemen to get near the vessel, but with
bard work, one OF the companies sue
ceeded in getting a stream on, but not
in time to cave he vessel.
The Chester Ne,os gives the following
descripl ion of the vessel:
The vessel frame destroyed this morn
ing was very notorious in this section.
Its construction was commenced about
four years ago and since that tina there
has been great deal of litiga ton over
it About a year ago it was sold at SheI-
ifs sale to j. w. Everman, of Philadel-
phia, who was supposed to own it at the
time of its destruction. 1t was valued
at about $4,000 as it stood on the stocks
1t was 112 feet long, so feet beam, 8 feet
hold and feet between decks. 1t was
ready TO receive the decks and would
have been strong vessel if it had ever
been finished. 1t wLs intended to be
three masted.

A MARROW ESCAPE On Wednesday
morning, while a little two-year old son OF
Harry Mullen, of Front and Jrfferson
streets, was playing on the sidewalk, some
men on the other side of Front street dis
charged q small c,nnon. The cannon con-
tained in It's charge a stone or other hard
substance, which tore through the little fel.
lows clothes, ard just grazed his leg,
breaking the skin and slightly burning the
that it tore ouG and carried away large
pieces Of his clothes, while the shock OF the
discharge was so heavy that it broke one OF
the panes Of glass in the front window OF
Mr.. Mullen's store. The little boy had Q
narrow escape from death or serious injury
and the carelessness of those in cnarge o.
the cannon was almost criminal.

emanating from these public watchto-

have been more general. The remark
made that very general feeling of dis
truct has been awakened In reference to
fire insurance companies that have

in this community that really knows
anything at all, about the majority of
these companies? They start out presum-

to entirely exclude or forbid the introduc

For notwithstandin the almost uiverSa

INrELLIaLNcE OF COWS.

The London MIX Journal says:
"That cows have memory, language,
signs and means of enjoying pleasant
associations, com mbiniDg for aggressive
purposes, has been recognized, but
scarcely to the extent the subject
merits. Travelling in Italy many years
ago, we visited some Of the large dairy
farms In the neighborhood of Ferrara
Interspersed among much of the low
lying, unhealthy land, remarkable for
the prevalence on it of very fatal forms
OF anthrox in the summer season, are
fin0 undulaling pasture lands, and the
fields are Of great extent. We hap
pened to stop at a farmhouse one fine
autumn afternoon when the cows
were about to be MIXED. A herd of
over one hundred was grazing home
wards. The women took their posi-
tions with stool close to the house,
and as the cows approached, names
were called out. which at first were we
thought addressed to the milkmaids.
Rosa, Florenza, Giula Sposa. and
many names, which were noted by us
at the time, were called out by the
overseer, or one of the women y and we
we're astonished to see COW after cow
cease feeding or chewing the cud and
make direct, sometimes at a trOt, for
the woman who usually milked her,
The practice, we found, was not con-
f1ned to one farm; all the cows on each
farm knew their respective names, and
took up their position in the open jnsI
as readily as The Individual members
