THE BIG FIRE; ESTIMATED LOSS S6O, ,O0O. The most disastrous fire ever known in this village started last Thursday morning in the store of Patrick Myers. It was discovered by Gilbert Cone at 20 minutes before D. He immediately gave the alarm but as the village has no fire department, though the people turned out and worked bravely, the fire spread rapidly, taking next Myers dwelling i house on one side and the building oc- cupied by the Doody fish market and saloon and James Sofey's billiard room and barber shop. The tenement over the store was occupied by Mir Brooks. 1 Everything i'll this building was lost but a small amount of clothing. The lower l floor of the Myers house was cleared, l then the house was disserted at the cry 1 that the fire had begun in the house of | Edward Young. That house was clear | cd of the furniture; next the store of l.. W. Tiffany and occupied by Gates & ] Smith, grocers and general dealers l Many of the things were got ont of the | store i'll a more or less demoraliZed con- 1 dition; next the barns in the rear and 1 livery stable and the house of Mrs T. C. Wilbur occupied by Mrs Wilbur. A. G. 1 Steele and Miss Nancy Mack and the house and barn on the Richard Wheel CT estate occupied by John Murray.
 From both these houses the furniture was mostly cleared out. At 6 o'clock 1 the Canal train was on the track waiting for permission to go for help but no word could be got through. Word was l got to Winsted and at 6.3O the steamer was on the car but no permit could be obtained for right of way until the reg ular '. .29 train. When the firemen ar rived on the scene the Tribune building was on fire and Smith block was in inn minent danger, but the fire was soon under control. The buildings on the west slda of the street were only saved
 by keeping them covered with wet blankets. The house and office of Dr | Curtis took fire number of times, as did the Frazier buildings. The Green woods fire company were out in full force and did good work, but as it was only organized for the protection of the
 Greenwoods company they had no facil- ities for general fire. The whole viii lage must surely have gone had the wind been blowing. New Hartford has
 had its lesson-now for the lock for tho stable door. The principal losses have been estimated as follows: Gates X
 Smith, $1S,000, insurance SS,500; P. Myers, $15, ,000, insurance S6,00O; L.W.
 Tiffany. Sl0,000, insurance S5, 900; Mrs T. c. Wilbur, $5,000, insurance S4,000; Mrs Austin Lee, S4,000, insurance S2,000; Wheeler estate, S3,000, insur- ance S2, 800; Games Doody, S1,000, no insurance; James Soay, $l,O00, no in surance; H. J. Stanclift, S3,000. insur- anco S3,500; Tribune building, $500,
 insured; John Messenger, S200, insured
 In computing the damage many indivii-
 ual losses to families made homeless
 cannot be estimated.

Closing Doors.

Amy one recovering from a severe
fit of illness, with overstrained or shat
tered nerves, that respond instantly to
any sudden noise, will appreciate the
following from an exchange:
"Doors are what we have to deal
with all our lives, and yet nineteen
people out of twenty make noise clos
ing every door they go through. Ply
sicians have not yet leared that they
disturb the patient they are trying TO
quiet by closing the door noisly when
they enter or leave the house or room.
1t is perfectly easy to close door
quietly, yet few people make it a prac'
tice to do so until some one in the
house is i'll, aud even then it is otter
forgotten. The patient that for day,
and nights has been ill and has had ne
rest is finally relieved from pain, and
is quietly sleeping. If there is moth
ing to disturb him, some hours of re
reshing sleep may be expected, giving
the rest and strength so much needed
but some one, forgetful of the needed
carefulness, closes the door with slam
and the patient starts with every nerv
quivering, not only losing the much
needed sleep, but having to suffer fror
| q sudden awakening, SO hard for
weak person to bear. II people woul
and teach care in closing doors, unit
| i. became their habit to do so, no on
need suffer this one of the unecessar
noises" I'D

Crescent City Cemeteries.

New Orleans cemetery system is
one prolific source of disease, even at
its best, writes an Inter Ocean cores
pondent. As is we'll known, there are
many burial socities in the city, which
have vaults peculiarly fitted up for the
recebtion of bodies. The swampy nat
ufe of the ground makes it impracticable
to inter below the surface, and so in
the case of the poorer classes large
number of immense depositers are
needed. Some of these have accom-
modations for as high as 100 corpses,
to my personal knowledge. When 9
vault becomes quite full of bodies, and
the society lacks for purchasing ground
and building again, it is customary tc
remove the coffins, aud hold a grand
open-air cremation. The evils of this
operation are apparent, inasmuch as
no furnaces are provided for carrying
off the deadly fumes that must neces
sarily be generated. ....
But in time of epedemics the quest
ion of burial is one of difficulty, ant
the consequences from crowded inter
ments are most appalling. More thar
once large vaults have burst asunde
by the action of gases arising from ;
| large number OF freshly entombet
bodies. OF course the wealthy endeav
or to have their own private family
tombs, or belong to influential buria
socities that maintain specially impos
ing vaults. The colored people hav,
cheaper burial societies by themselves
and the various secret societies hav,
their own cemeteries. This classifi
| cation system brings about a multipli
city of cemeteries, as for instance. tn
Free Masons' cemetery, the Odd Eel
lows cemetery, the Firemens GENE
terry, the Jewish cemeteries, known a
Gates of Prayer, etc. The paymen
of fee, varying from twenty fv,
cents a month to several dol
lara, entities the member to free buria
at the hands of the society to which h
belongs. ............ .......
These burial socitiis, paradoxical a
it may sound, are also instrumental i
promoting social intercourse anon
the members. The colored peopl
give a big yearly entertainment in cor
nection with one Of their leading socie
ties, in which the most elaborate tel
tivities are held, and full dress pr'
walls.

Many rather mysterious boiler ex-
plosions having been attributed to the
sudden and explosively violent flashing
into steam Of superheated water, the
French Academy of Sciences appoint
ed a committee, year or more ago, to
investigate the subject. That com
mittee has since made many careful
experiments, using pure and impure
water, water which had been long
stagnant, and water from which the
air had been driven by long boiling,
and generating steam by rapid and by
slow firing. As result the conclu
sion has been reached that II any boiler
explosion has occurred through super
heating it must have been through thu
concurrence of exceptional circum
stances, which are neither defined
known nor expected. The expert
ments have shown conclusively that
sometimes appear, the real cause mus
be looked for in the simple loading o
the boilers with steam pressures be
yond their strength.

A matter of surprise and wonder to
those who witness it for the first time
is the rousing to life of whole colonies
infusoria by the addition OF drop of
water to few grains of earth or dust.
These microscopic organisms abound
everywhere in water containing de-
composing vegetable or animal matter
aud some forms may, in dry state
remain for month or even years ap-
parently dead, TO be revived when
water is again supplied to them. Mr..
Jabez Hogg has been experimenting
during the past three years with one
form Of infusorial life the rotifers or
wheel animalcules-and has even kept
dried specimens for time at tenn
perature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit,
and afterward exposed them to intense
cold, neither process killing them nor
greatly diminishing their vital powers.
Mr.. Hogg supposes that as the animal
dries il shuts itself up like telescope,
Its skin taking an egg-ike shape, and
that a secreting organ coats the body
with gelatinous envelope which pro
tects it from further change.

Horrible Tragedy.

A report comes from San Juan
county of horrible tragedy, which
occurred, last week, in that county
A resident of Friday Harbor, named
James Barker, went to Shaw's island
on hunting expedition. Not re-
turning after some days, his friends
became anxious. and search was in
stituted by Sheriff Kelly and others
for the missing man. Blood stains
were seen near the residence Of an
eccentric character named Hugh
Park, and he refused admission to
his house Of those present. They
procured reiniorcements and re-.
turned, but secreted themselves and
did not let Park know of their pres
ence. In the evening the door opened
and Park appe red, dragging out
the dead body Of the missing man,
which no took to the trail aud left,
returning to the house before he
could be captured. The party sur
rounded the house and remained un-
til Sunday night, when hearing no
sound or indication of life from the
house, they concluded Park must 10

Sheriff party, approached the house
with Il maui and beat in the door.
A shot was fired into the house to
intimidate Park, and wilson entered.
He instantly fell dead, shot through
TIE head by bullet from Parks
Winchester rifle. The posse then
set fire to the house and burned it
and its inmate up. While the build
ing was on fire shot was fired from
the inside, but whether fired at the
party, or by the desperate man to
end his own life, is not krown. His
charred remains were found in the
buildins.-A'yus.
