a disastrous prairie fire. The wind was

dying embers into blaze. Loss $4,000

THE LIVES or CITIES.

DR.. Hoge commenced by saying that in
one respect the lives of cities resemble tho
lives Of individuals. Some persons pass
through uncventful and monotonous lives,
while others are full Of contrast, yicissi-

row.
The history Of some cities flow on like a
TRANQUIL river, while others resemble q
stream broken by rapids and cataracts.
The history Of Richmond has been full of
events many of them abounding IN tragic
