hence comes the noun Februa.
which signified the Roman festival
Of lustraIion and eXpiatiou.
March is named in honor of Mars,
the Roman god of war.
April derives its name from the
Latin Aprilis, aud that from Aper-
Ire, which meant to open.
May is name, the origin OF which
comes from the Romans, in honor of
Mai, the mother Of Mercury and
daughter Of Atlas.
June is a name that all will read
ily think Of when they read the his
tory of the goddess Juno. In this
month she seemed TO have been
greatly worshipped.
July is In honor Of the great Ro-
man, Caius Julius Cesar. who was
born at this season Of the year.
August was named In honors q the
great Roman emperor Augustus
Caesar.

P0OR HOUSE BURNED.
Seven Insane Inmates Losc Their
Lives in the Fire.


BISGHASRToN, y. V, May s.
A special nom Norwich, Chenango
County, says the poOr-house was
burned last night. Seven inmates
were burned TO death. The fire
started in the insane department.
The poor house insane department
aud n large barn were destroyed.
All the departments were crowded.
But for the hard work on the part Of
the keepers, the loss Of life would
have been terrible. Damage SlO,-
OUa.
The names OF the dead discovered
are Sarah Mills, Sarah Gallagher,
Sarah Bailey, Laura Gray, Della
Benedict, Deborah Dlddle, Mary
Ann Diddle, Lucy Warren, Amelia
Atwood. All the departments Of
the institution were crowded. The
rescue Of the poor creatures, many
Of them old and feeble, others wild
with terror, was no easy task, and
the great wonder is that so many
were rescued. People went at il
haphazard, appalled, by the awful
ness Of the cries and means Of the
inmates and the magnitude Of
the catastrophe. Two women,
idiots, were burned, but their
names cannot yet be given. 4
session Of the supervisors will be
held tonight in order that imme-
date provision may be made for the
inmates The city marshal has
sworn in large number Of deputicS.
and is searching for the missing.
The number Of dead may possibly
reach thirteen.
