A STARVATION FAST.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 9.-MiSs Chloe
Ann Violet, resident of this city,
thirty-tive days ago to-day started out on
Il starvation fast under the impression
that the Lord she had served for many
Years required another sacrifice, and that
sacrifice must be herself. Thirty-live
days ago this lady, respected by all who
knew her, received, according 10 her be-
lief, the Divine command, and from that
time she has abstained from all kinds OF
food for the body, but spiritual food she
has INDUCED in TO Il great extent. She
has spent the entire time of her fast in
prayer and meditation, and in reading
the criptureS.
Miss Violet claims that her fast is in
accordance with an unmistakable COM
msnd from the Lord Jesus Christ, who
appeared to her and told her that if she
committed suicide in any other way ex-
cept by fasting she would be guilty of a
great sin, and would be held responsible,
but if i'm a fast she starved to death, the
gates of Q lory would be thrown wide open
To her. Many frieuds of the deluded lady
have tried to persuade her out OF her
strange hallucination, but their efforts
have been in vain. She Kept up until
Yesterday, when, overcome by weakness,
she had TO take TO her bed, where she re-
mains as fully determined to obey the
supposed command of the Lord rs when
she first started out on her suicidal
course.
Rev. DR.. Poulson, of the NJ. Z. Church,
III the request of friends, has visited Miss
Ioiett and conversed and prayed with
her, but to no purpose, for he lett her
WIN her determination mistaken not to
oSe food. Miss Violet becomes excited
III the mere mention of food.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER AT VIENNA
On the night of the 9Th inst, a theatre
in Vienna, Austria, took fire, before
the commencement Of the Opera, caused
by the fall OF lamp on the stage. II
is estimated that about two thousand
persons were in the house. The great
est possible confusion and fear immedi-
ately seized the audience, and rushes
were made TO the doors and windows
with the view Of escaping the terrible
disaster Many escaped by ladders
from the windows aud by jumping into
cloths that were held below 80 rs to
break the force Of their decent. The
rapidIty OF the flames, however, pre-
vented the escape Of the whole crowd,
and il is estimated that some six hun
dred persons persisted in the building,
which was entirely destroyed. In
mense crowds collected around the the
atre during the fire and were Mortified
by the terrific shrieks and piteous pray
ers of the helpless victims, who were
unable TO avoid the awful suIeriDgs
and death that awaited them.

Bush Fires.

Pembroke, 2.-Upwards of thirty
families in the townships Of WILDER,
force, Stafford and Bromly are rem
dered homeless by the bush fires
since Wednesday evening, all desti-
tute and many hungry. Crops,
buildings and everything they pos
sessed were swept away. The
shower Of rain in the neighborhood
of Kingston, last night, was not
sufficient to e1tinguish the bush
fires. The smoke is very thick and
the river navigation is much inter
rupted.
