incidents Of the New York Fire

Following are some of the incidents
connected with the recent fire i'll New
York, which destroyed several news
paper offices and caused the death of
seven persons:
Former employees in the building say
that the new fiue which was being
built in the partition wall emitted an
unusual heat during the past few days,
and they are now more than ever con
WINGED that the fire was caused by the
ignition of the woodwork through
which it passed. Arthur w. Brimlow,
Il compositOr i'll the Observer office
says that he smelled burning wood on
a line with this flue on Monday. "The
course of this fiue," he said, cup the
partition wall was marked by intense
heat, and and others took advantage
of it and warmed our hands by placing
them against the wall On Monday
morning | smelled burning wood, and
when | went into the Observer com.

woman who was seen to fall back into
the flames after vain effort to escap,

Rev Edward d. G. Prime of the New

cape: Il was sitting at my desk il
the inside room on the third floor oI
the Park Row side, when some one il
the outer Office cried fire, and at tn,

Widder Green's Last Words.

I'm goin' to die" saws the Widder Green.
lin goin' TO quit this airthly scene;
1t amt no place for me TO stay
In such a world as tbs to-day
Such works and ways is too much for me,
Nobody san't let nobody be.
The girls is hOunced from top to toe,
An that's the whole O. what they know.
The men is mad on bonds and stocks
Swearin and shootin and pickin locks.
I'm real afraid I'll be hanged myself
Ef aint laid ON my final shelf
There amt = cretur but knows to-day
l never was luny in any way;
But since the crazy folks all go free,
I'm dreadful afraid they'll hang up me.
There's another matter that's pesky hard
l can't go into a neighbOr's yard
To say How be you or borry pin
But what the papers have it in.
We're pleased TO say the Widder Green
Took dinner a Tuesday with Mrs. Keene,'
Or, Our worthy friend Miss Green has gone
Down to Bark hamsted To see her SON
Great Jerusalem cant l stir
without a-raisin' some fOllers furi
There amt no privacy-so to say
No more than ef this was the Jedgment day.
And as for meetin'-I want to swear
Whenever put my head in there
Why, even Old Hundreds spilled and done
Like everything else under the sun.
1t used to be so solemn and slow
Praise to the Lord from men below
Now it goes like a gallOpin' steer,
High diddle dddle, there and herel
No respect to the Lord above,
No more'n ef he was hand and glove
With all the ereturs he ever made,
And all the jigs that ever was played.
Preaehin' tOO-but here IN dumb.
But | tell you what I'd like il some
Ef good old parsOn Nathan Strong
Out o. his grave would come along,
An give us = stirrin' taste of fire
Jedgment an Jestice is my desire.
'Tain't all love an sickish sweet
That makes this world nor t'other complete.
But law I'm old I'd better be dead.
When the worlds a-tumin' over my head
Sperits talkin' like tarnal fools,

Crazy creturs a-murderin' round
Honest folks better be under ground.
So farey we'll this airthly scene
Won't no more be pestered by Widder Green.

At the regular meeting on Friday eve
ming last of the Debating Club, some bust
ness was transacted and the programme
carried out in part.
The literary programme was opened by
German recitation by p. M. Roth; and
the applause of the audience attested their
appreciation of the same.
The question, Resolved, That Chinese
immigration to America should be pro-
hibited, was then taken up and discussed
in a very lively and able manner by w. j.
Turner, M. b. Gates and l. T. Wilcox for
the affirmative; Will Gould and f. s..
Retain for the negative. Each side was
presented fairly and clearly and showed
that the subject had been carefully con-
sidered by the disputants After listening
to the arguments and some remarks by
others the judges decided that America
could do without the Chinaman.
There will be no meeting of the club this
evening.

We were favored on Tuesday by a
pleasant call from Rev. Mr.. Leonard, of
Rochester, N. Y, candidate for the
Passionate Of the Baptist church in this
city. Mr.. l.. appears to be young gentle
man of culture, and we doubt not would
ill the place made vacant by the resigna
ton of Mr.. Farnum, to the satisfaction of
the public and the satisfaction of the
church.
We see that the Holly Advertiser, has
entered on the sixth year of its existence
and reports itself In prosperous cond-
ton. The Advertiser is looking sharply
after the local and general interests of
Holly, is wide awake on all questions effect
ing the prosperity of Oakland county. 1t
deserves liberal support, and will in
crease in usefulness as its circulation in
creases. May its prosperity never wane
or its merits decrease.
A law of the State of Michigan provides
that in cities where board of review is
not otherwise constituted by the charter of
said city, that it shall consist of the super
visors Of that city with an equal number
of members--not aldermen--appointed by
the common council, and the city attorney
AS Owosso comes under this class of cities
her board of review will consist of the
three supervisors, the city attorney, and
three men to be appointed by the council
at meeting on or before the first Monday
in May.
The Bancroft Advertiser joins the
Owosso Press in demanding as matter
of right the submission of the location of
the county seat in this county to n vote of
the people. Our position for years has
been that when any respectable number of
the people of a given locality desired to
vote on any question, which, by existing
constitutions and laws, is to be finally
determined by popular VOTE the law max
ing power, was bound to submit the ques-
ton, and let the people settle it, and that
is just what Owosso demands as right of
the Board of Supervisors, on the Court
House question; and the day is not far
distant when that right will be recognized
by the Board even if political graves have
to be dug to secure it. Then if the peo-
pie want Owosso for the county seat, they
will say so, but if not, they will say the
other thing. All Owosso asks is that the
people may, in a legal way. settle the
question for themselves, and there is no
mistake about their right to do that, and
none whatever that that right will be ex-
ercised.

The flint lock musket, the sickle, the

There are cases IN record of men who
have not died after being bitten BY mad
dogs. That was because the saliva had been
subjected to the influence of the atmosphere,
and that kind Of struggle was going on be-
tween the microbes of the virus and the
microbes of the circumanbient air. These
latter appear sometimes to neutralize or
modify the effect of the virus; but with the
virus in the pure state, as extract it from
the brain of one of my dogs here, death in a
fixed period ia certain2 and up to this time
we have found no remedy for this pitiless
affiiction.
"Nov, 1 hope, if my life is spared, that
after many comparisons and experiments, l
shall finally get remedy; but, before getting
to the end of my researches, must exactly
establish the organic constitution OF the
microbes of this virus, for these invisible
beings differ from eash other as man dit
fers from horse, and horse from an ele-
phant. They are also subject to divers in
fuences, and that which diminishes the
power of some augments the capacity of
others. This accounts for the manner in
which / treated the charbon which was slay-
ing thousands of sheep every day before the
in-ention of my vaccine matter, which is
nothing else than The virus itself reduced.
By exposing the virus TO an atmosphere OF
forty degrees a certain time, the microbes be-
came so feeble that when they were in the
body of an animal they only communicated
the very lightest Charlton, and thus forever
guaranteed the animal gainst the epidemic"

Paris Letter In the Boston Journal.
"And what" said a visitor to Pasteur's lab
which you have recently been making on
hydrophobia?"
"If you DESIRE" said NJ Pasteur, Eve will
90 down into the cellar where the animals
inoculated with the rage are, and you can
there soon see for yourself"
The visitor descended into the basement
in company with NJ. Pasteur, with certain
uncomfortable sensations in the calves of
his legs, fearing a possible encounter with
some one of the inoculated dogs, and he
found himself in large cellar, into which
air and light were poured through great
tunnels. Immense cages were ranged round
the sides of this subterranean apartment,
and in each of these cages was dog. Here
were all sorts of CANNES, the bulldog, the
terrier, the spaniel, the poodle, etc. Over
each cage was placard indicating the day
this time" said NJ. Pasteur, Il have been
able to discover but little; still, l consider
it a first step. Before began my expert
ments it was believed that hydFophobia
could be communicated only by the
saliva. and people were frequently
astonished at seeing dogs that had
been bitten by mad dogs remain sometimes
all their lives without maniiesting any
symptoms of the dreadful maiady. 1 have
discovered the virus OF hydrophobia in the
brain of the dog, in the spinal marrow, and
in the whole of the nervous system gen.
erally. One drop of this virus preserved
from contact with the microbes of the at
aosphere and introduced into the brain of
a healthy dog invariably gives him hydro
phobia and he dies of it within fifteen days.
aLook,n said III. Pasteur, "here is an ami
NAL iuoculated with the virus about ten days
ago. Just put your loot up to his cage"
The visitor did so, but with fear and trem-
bling, @You see he licks your foot with
every manifestation of affection. In two
days he will be dead. He Is now in that Pc

earlier than ii began last year. II adds that
good news OF the crops has stimulated bust

sections where evidences OF prosperity are
more palpable merchants are making prepa-
ratiops for an active fall trade, which are re-
fected in the wholesale circles, SO that mao
