DiVANES DISAGREE,

A DiscC ss' on not Decided by Prayer-In-
toIe- apce of Opinion.
The following is an extract from
a late New York Tribune" editor
ial: There is, perhaps, no mental
vice o common as intolerance of
opinion. Even such as think they
have emancipated themselves from
the clin2ing defect find it hard to
acknowledge frankly to themselves
that the opinion of some one else
upon a matter they have studied
may very well be as deserving as
respect as their own, if it differs
radically from their own. IF we
could all get rid Of this last infirmi-
ty,' not only of noble minds, but of
nearly all human minds, how much
less friction there would be in life,
how much less bitterness anG heart
burning and envy and all unc.lari-
tablcnes5.''
In an adjoining column of the
same paper was found the follow
ing peculiar commentary on the
editorial:
THE bitterness of the controver-
sy in he American, Board over the
question of probation after death
was very great. This rather shock

foreign missionaries who attended
the sessions of the Board, one of
whom said he bad ALWAYS thought

altogether Christian in spirit, it
was strictly parliamentary. The

of Cushing's Manual in their walls,
along with their Bible"

j. Ayotte took the contract for
raising the tug Wescott, sunk in the
river, just above the bridge, for the
sum of $50. Iron chains were placed
under the bow, and by means of jack
screws, the boat was raised a little,
A chain was then run under further
abaft, and the process continued until
the chains were in their proper places.
The raising of the tug to the top OF
the water, was then easily done by
jack screws. The steamer Golden
Eagle was placed on the outside of
the sunken tug, and heavy logs were
then placed from the wharf to the
steamer. To the logs were fastened
the chains that raised the tug. By
Saturday the tug was raised so that
her decks were above water, and steam
fire engine No. 1 was engaged to pump
the water out of the tugs hull. That
was soon done, and then it was discov-
cred that plug was out of hole in
the hull, leaving an opening over an
inch in diameter for the water to run
inside the tug. The inside of the tug
had dismal appearance when the
water was pumped out. Ice hung
from the roof of the engine house and
along the sides. Plenty of ice was
scattered about the inside of the hull
The engine was rusty, and the entire
interior of the tug, looked as cheer
less as can be imagined. A large
amount of labor will be required to
get the tug in as good shape as she
was before she sunk. 1t was the first
marine disaster Of the present year,
and also the first wrecking job.

Shipping Lumber by Rail.

This week Fletcher, Pack & Co.
have inaugurated new business--that
of shipping lumber by rail. The first
shipment comprises three cars of lum-
Der and goes to New Baltimore. This
is the first time that lumber has been
shipped from the lumber mills here

considerable increase of business at

Thursday. The light of glass in the
front of the locomotive got broken.
The wind was ahead, and as the train
was travelling at the rate of at least
30 miles per hour, there was gale
of wind whistling through the cab,
and right into the engineers face, at
a velocity of between 40 and 30 miles
per hour. The latter part of the trip
was made while the terrific snow and
wind hurricane was blowing, between
seven and eight in the evening. The
inside of the cab was well lined with
snow.

A political novel, entitled "See Saw"
has been received at this Office from
Dickerson q Co., of Detroit, the pub
fishers. 1t treats of a woman who
became an enthusiastic Cleveland
Democrat, took part in the Presiden-
tial campaign, passed civil service
examination, and finally obtained a
situation in one of the departments
at Washington. The work is evident
ly written by person who believes
in civil service reform, and gives good
reasons for such belief. "See Saw" is
not pleasant reading for admirers of
Blaine. The heroine also falls in
love, has the usual mishaps and heart
anguish, but the trouble is finally
cleared up, the lovers are reunited
and everything ends lovely.

A few days ago the water pipe lead
ing to the saloon on River street, near
Second street, burst and overhowed
some of the cellars in the vicinity
The consequence was that the pipe
had to be taken up, and, in order to
do so, part of the pavement had to be
removed, leaving a hole in the street.
This hole was not fenced in at night
nor lighted, and the trap thus formed
caught the Golling House bus as il
was returning from the depot, after
the arrival Of the train at night. The
sleigh was upset and the travelling
men in the bus were unceremonio us
ly shaken and some injured. The
sleigh was also damaged considerably
and there is prospect that the Com
mon Council will be asked to pay the
damages occasioned thereby.
