A slight misunderstanding.

The law in Massachusetts, requires,
among other things, yearly return OF
births. \ canvasser, while engaged in
the work in Fitchburg, came to the
house owned by two elderly maidens Of
means. The hired girl answered his
ring, to whom he said; Il called to
see if there were any births in this
house the past year. The girl misun-
derstood him, and made this report to
the ladies': There is man down
stairs who wants to know II you had
any bursts last year. They hurriedly
discussed the possible meaning Of such
q query, and concluded that it must
refer to the water pipes. Then one OF
the women went down to the door and
asked the canvasser If he had authority
to ask such questions. He said he was
acting under the law. whereupon she
remarked, "Well, we did have little
one here, but it was SO slight that we
were not obliged to call in any outside
help"

Destruction of a Court-House-A Fireman
Fatally Injured.
PITTsBURG, Dec. IA special to the
Chronicle says; The Butler (Pa.) courthouse
took fire this morning at o'clock, aud in
two hours was totally destroyed, leaving the
walls and huge pillars standing bare. The
fire originated from a defective fue, and
gained considerable progress before it was
discovered. The cupola, hundred feet high.
which contained a large bell and clock, fell
with a tremendous crash. Two accidents
happened during the progress of the fire--one
to Curt Smith, by falling from ladder, and
to c. NJ Steimman, fireman. who was cut on
the head and badly burned. Smiths injuries
are probably fatal. The building
was erected in 1858, at a cost of $50, 600,
and fully insured. Several other buildings
were on fire, but by the prompt efforts of the
fire department the flames were extinguished
before serious damage resulted, All records
were saved.
A later dispatch says all the Criminal
Court records and large number of import
ant court documents were destroyed. The
