A new law in California provides

understand why a woman should re

services.

Thus in less than a month have
three household pets been snatched by
the "unequal hand of Death," from
the cheerful fireside, and warm influ
ence of a parents' love to t lie solitude
of the silent tomb. No child so young
but that it may lay down the mysteri
ous link of existence, nor yet a head
so hoary but that the summons of
death may call to the lowly grave. In
this triple afliiction the family have
the sympathy of the entire com
munity. Aakon Minnie, infunt daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Aaron, on
Tuesday, Jan. IS, 1881. The child
was born on February 'J,
The interment took place in the
Catholic Cemetery Wednesday after
noon. A young Wisconsin couple started
on a train of the Chicago and North
western railroad to hunt up a Justice
of the Peace, with a view to getting
spliced. An accident delayed them at
Geneva Junction, and it was arranged
that the young man should proceed to
Crystal Lake to make preparations for
the wedding there, while his compan
ion would return to Geneva Lake to
await notice that all was ready. Un
fortunately, the young lady became
impatient, and the next day started to
meet her lover. He at the same time
started to meet her. The consequence
was that they kept sending each other
messages and traveling after and mis
sing each other uutil the young
woman, tired and disgusted, returned
home with the determination to give
up the proposed marriage entirely, nor
could any remonstrances or prayer,
after her unhappy lover succeeded in
finding her again, change this reso
lution. Thereupon he brought suit
against the railroad company for dam
ages. His claim, however, is only
$29.10, at which figure he sums up his
traveling expenses and the cost of the
presents he had made to his faithless
sweetheart.

At about 2 o'clock this moniin Mr.
Hurrling, photographer, whoslcc) in
his gallery over W. C. Heuly's Ktoro,
was awakened by the smell of burn
ing woolen jroods. Vainly trying to
go to sleep, he at last got up and dis
covered tht the binokc ctinie from
the store room below, occupied by Mr.
Rubin as a clothing and notion store.
Mr. Ilarrling at once went to the lin
ger t House, which is the next building
east of the store, and woke up Mr. Ru
bin, as well as the rest of the bourders.
On opening the store door a dense
smoke poured out rendering an en
trance almost impossible. Water was
at once procured, when it wus discov
ered that the fire bad originated in a
pile of woolen goods, notions, etc., on
a counter at the west side of the store,
and had binned a lot af silk handker
chiefs, hose, etc., hanging on a line
immediately above the counter. All
tliegoods on thecounter, to the amount
of from $150 to $200 worth, were
burned, and great holes burned in the
solid, hard wood plunk. The cause of
the lire is not known, and the only
theory advanced is that it may have
resulted from the careless laying down
of u cigar stub on the counter by some
one iu the store during the evening.
The stock was insured by an ugent or
agents in New York. When we say "al
most" the escape of Mr. Ilarrling from
suffocation, and the consequent failure
to discover the fire iu time to save the
building, and perhaps all the buildings
on that bide of the street, looms up be
fore us, and we are happy to note the
small loss of property where almost a
conflagration was inaugurated. Then
we are Impatient to have the inystery
of the origin of the fire explained,
we stand appalled at the narrow escape
of perhaps the whole business portion
of the Borough. Above the counter
was a pile of cotton batten, which the
eager flames were anxious to taste.
But we stop right here, thankful that
it is no worse,
