about the causes Of disscnsiOn that exist

is claimed was ptGckcd from the head Of
Mahomet, probably by one Of his wives,
the possession Of which is causing great
dispute in Constantinople and is said to
have indirectly caused the late troubles in
Egypt. There are six claimants for the
hair. The case in which the precious

The Forest C5sy Cremation.

| LITCHFIELp, Aug. lion Wednesday
afternoon Mrs. Mitchell, Of Forest City
| left her house and went over to neigh
boris to get one Of the larger children from
| there to stay with her little ones, so that
she could be absent for time. On start
ing to return home she discovered fire
coming from the root of her house. She
screamed for help and the whole village
was soon on the spot; but the fire Was too
far advanced to save the building. They
ripped of the roof board, dashed Il pail OF
water through the flames Oil a bed, and
discovered the baby laying thereon, near q
window, through which they got the al
most lifeless body Of the baby. There was
still missing q boy Of s years. BY means
of wet blanket thrown around him a
man went into the room, found the little
fellow on the floor under the bed and got
him out. The baby was badly burned and
lived but a few minutes. The boy was so
badly suffocated that he did not recover.
The origin of the fire is unknown AS
near as can be ascertained, the oldest boy
perished in trying to save his little baby
brother. He passed through room filled
with flames and smoke ard opened door
into an adjoining bedroom, where his lit
tie brother was playing on the bed, but
the flames and smoke followed him so
closely that he was unable to return and
both perished.

Broughton, when even ladies took lessons

the slightest provocation to practice upon
the patcs Of belIigerent sisters, but when
