Mrs. Baird

From the Palmyra Spectator.
Mrs. Baird, President of Hardin
Female College at Mexico, in Audrain
county, made us a social call on
Christmas day, whilst visiting rela-
tions and friends in this place. Mrs.
Baird Is looking well, out works too
hard for her strength. Her efficient
services whilst presiding over Ingle-
side College, of this city, tell effect
lively on her pupils, and many will live
to bless her memory for her fidelity,
who whilom complained of her rigid.
ty. Mrs. Baird is II of the most
effective literary educators in the
State. and if not osstrueted in bel
management at Hardin College, by 8
sickly interference of timld and time
serving supervision, will make hel
mark.

northwestern portion of tho county.
Some time during tho afternoon, IL
negro house in Mrs. Yonguc's yard,
in which thcro were two. colorcd ohil-
drcn, caught fire, and before any as
sistancc came, the house, with tho chill
dron in it, was half burned down. 1t
seems that every person had left tho
promises, and tho children being very
young, about two and four years of
age, respectively, were shut up in the
h u c forsafo keeping. Mrs. Yong, Q 5
son was the first to arrive at tho fire,
and when he broke the door open one
Of the children ran out Of the house,
but fell dead when q few steps from
tho door. The othor child was burned
to death in the house, which was so
far consumed that its body could not
be recovered. Mrs. Yonguc expert
cnccd great difficulty in saving her
dwelling house, as tho burning one
was very near to it. Such shocking
occurrences have been very frequent
during tho last year, aud while they
arc generally accidental, they should
teach every one to use the greatest
torc;hought. Upon no consideration
should children Of such tender years
be shut up in house, without larger
person with them, especially when
there Is fire in the house.

agreed to have been1 one of the best
representative political bodies of its
size ever assembled in this state. A
voracious Windsor county delegate
tells a story which illustrates the point.
He says he stepped into one OF the
Montpelier saloons during the day
where large number Of men were
eating and drinking, but hardly one
of them was member Of the con-
vention. Engaging in conversation,
the saloon keeper complained bitterly
of the poor business he was doing.
"What good is it TO Montpelier" he
asked, "to have the Democratic con-
vention held here? 1t is an honest
fact that I haven't taken so cents
more to-day than l did last Thursday.
When the Republicans held their con-
veution hero l made something out of
them; had a good liberal trade; but
the Democrats are no good to ME"
But probably we shall continue to
hear from the pharisaical organs that
the Democracy is the ''rum,nies party"
OF this state Brattleboro Retormer.
