The Insane Asylum at Tongue
Pointe, nine miles from Montreal, was
burned to the ground on Wednesday
last. There were about 300 inmates
in the asylum when the fire broke out.
The nuns, who were in charge OF the
institution, made every effort to con-
troll them but many utterly refused to
leave the burning building and were
consequently burned to ashes. The
scene was a horrible one-many of the
inmates were seen through the win
dows waving their arms, dancing and
shouting as the flames were enveloping
their bodies. The fire apparatus was
totally inadequate, and the loss of life
was very great.

A good-sized audience attended the
second lecture at the M. f.. church

agreeably surprised, for rarely is any
audience permitted to listen to so fer
vent, telling and oratorical lecture as

Perrysburg ought to have heard it.
There is q strong desire to have him

Fourteen new cases were filed in
Common Pleas Court during the past
week, and one-half of them are
brought for the purpose of quieting
titles to land. 1t is estimated that one
hundred thousand dollars are paid
annually in defraying the expenses of
litigation in the courts of Wood
county. Most of this comes from the
land owners of the county and taking
the above statement as an average,
one-half of this amount, or fifty thous-
and dollars, is paid each year by the
land owners ofolr county to perfect the
titles to our lands. Looks like IL large
sum to pay for blunders and neglect.
