Fall of Wire.

The fall of electric railway wire is
almost daily occurrence in this city,
and such incidents naturally cause APP
prehensiou. A long stretch of wire fell
again yesterday at King and Royal
streets, and fire flew in every direc-
ton. Repairs were made Immediately,
as is always the case, but they prove to
be only temporary. Such incidents are
attended with great danger to people
who are passing along the street at the
time, and before some one is killed steps
should be taken to render the wire
secure. The attention of the railway
company has on several occasions been
uuofIicially called to the matter, aud IT'S
now up to the authorities to take action.

Fire Last Night.

Shortly before II o'clock last night
Ere broke out in the back portion of the
upper story of Mr.. B. b. Smiths
store on the north side Of King street,
near Pitt, and for a time it was feared q
serious conhagration would result, but
the department responded quickly aud
after some difficulty succeeded in check
ing the flames. A considerable guam
tity of inhammable material, including
fireworks, was in the portion OF the
building which was burning and the ex,
plosion of the fireworks at times increased
the apprehension. Many toys were al
so destroyed, and the stock OF cigars
aud tobacco in the upper rooms was
ruined by the water which 1t was ne
cessarv to use in order TO check the hire.
The building was also considerably dam
aged. The latter was insured, but no
risks we're carried on the stock. Mr..
Smith estimates his loss at ) 200.

DAYS in July, August and September,

The Observer.

1t is with courageous and hopeful
hearts that we should enter upon the
New Year. Life is full of promise, but
there are no promises for the spirit of
fear and dependency. Whether we
are to be brave or fearful, hopeful or
respondent, is matter of individual
choice and determination. Yes, we
have all made mistakes, and in plenty;
but why should we allow our present
energy to be paralyzed, and our out
look upon the future darkened by a
constant remorseful consciousness of
past mistakes?
sit is not by regretting what is ir.
reparable that true work is to be done,
but by making the best of what we are.
1t is not by complaining that we have
not the right tools; but by using well
the tools we have. What we are, and
where we are is Gods providential ar
rangement Gods doing, though it
may be mans misdoing; and the man.
ly and wise way is to look your disad-
vantages in the face and see what can
be made out of them. \ He is
the best who wins the most splendid
victories by the retrieval of mistakes y
