a City DRSfrAXed.

A confagration at Haverhill, Mass, on the
night of the 18th inst, with the exception of
the great fire in Boston was the most serious
calamity, in pecuniary point of view, which
has visited New England within the memory of
men now living. Sixty buildings in the center
of the city are in ashes; eighty boot and shoe
manufacturers Qeaving but three) were entirely
destroyed; more than two thousand men and
women are out of employment; score of fam
lies are homeless; three lives at least were
sacrificed; and one-fifth of the entire property
of the city wiped out. In spite of this over
whelming calamity the citizens are hopeful and
courageous, and will rally from the disaster
with characteristic American pluck The loss
will reach fully $4,000, 900, and the insurance
will cover two-thirds of this amount

Great Naval Victory.

three-inch guns, and the Norfolk light infantry,

steamers, and was rationed for three days. On

Governor Cameron demanded their surrender
IN the name of the commonwealth. Six of the
vessels were at once offered as prizes but twelve
desperadoes on the other boat hauled anchor
and attempted to pass out, only giving up when
they saw shotted guns trained upon them. The
vessels are worth $40, 900 besides their cargoes
and sixty-one men were captured. According

A Iona Outlook for the Heir,
from the Montreal witness.I

An old farmer living about II miles
west of Guelph died recently, leaving o
viii of which the substance is as follows
The son works the farm until the step
mothers death; at the end of that time,
he has to commence paying installments
on 50 900 to the rest of the family at a
yearly rate of $50 year, and when he
gets all paid off he will get the farm in
his own possession. 1t will be seen that
after the stepmother's death it will be go
years before the sou gets the farm, and
as the woman is in the prime of life
and healthy, it is calculated that she may
live another 40 years. The son is now
80 years of age, and before he can claim
the farm, by this reckoning, he will be
$50 years old. The old man must either
have thought life much longer than it is
or else he was afraid the boy might turn
a spendthrift if allowed to get the prop
erty sooner

Joseph, two of the workmen upon the building,
got into a quarrel, and Held threw an ak at
Joseph, the keen blade literally splitting his
head in two, scattering his brains and killing
him instantly. AS Held threw the axe he lost
his foothold and fell from the building, break
ing his neck. Three men were on the ground
at the time, James Cephas, Richard Wiley and
Ned Blandford, engaged in raising heavy log.
They became so much excited at the tragedy
they had just witnessed that Cephas lost his
hold on the log, and caused it to fall. As it
came down it caught Wiley and crushed his
abdomen, inflicting injuries from which he

effect of the German tariff in increasing
prices Is shown by table submitted
by Consul Schoenle to the state depart
ment. From this table it appears that
the prices since the adoption of the new
high tariff laws in Germany have in
creased as follows during the last year:
Butter, 20 per cent; beans, 5 per cent. /;
peas, 5 per cent. wheat, 4 per cent. /;
petroleum, 5 per cent; bacon, 80 per
cent; raw ham, per cent; lard, 40 per
cent, and rye bread, 6 per cent. The
increase in the price of bread is due to
the import duty on American -four,
which las been exacted by the demands
of the German agricultural barons.
Nearly all the bacon and lard comes from
the United States.

The game of "He can do little who
can't do this" is thus described: "With
a stick in the left hand the player
thumps on the floor, at the same time
saying, He can do little who can't do
this. Then passing the stick into his
right hand he gives it to the next person,
who, if unacquainted with the game,
will, no doubt, thump with the right
hand. OF course, it is most natural to
use the right hand for everything, con-
sequently few people suspect that the
secret of the game lies in simply taking
the stick with the right hand but knock
ing with the left. ''-NeU York Mail.
