'nu IS ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1871 A gentle wind of western birth, From some far summer sea, Wakes Wales in the wintry earth, Wakes thoughts of hope In me. The sun Is low; the paths are wet, • And dunce with frolic hail ; The trees, whose time Is not yet, • Swing sighing iu the gale. Young gleams of sunshine peep and play ; Thick vapors crowd between ; 'Tin strange that on a coming day The earth will all be green. The north wind blows, and blasts and raves, And flaps his snowy wing; Back ! toss thy bergs on ante waves, Thou canst not stay our spring. Up comes the primrose, wondering ; The snowdrop droopAh by ; The holy spirit of the spring Is working silently. • Sweet-breathing odors gently wile Earth's other children out; On nature's face a hopeful smile Is fllckering about. When earth lay herd, unlovely, dull, And life within her slept, A bove her heaven grew beautiful, And forth her beauty crept; And though tears fall, as fall they will, Smiles wander Into sighs, Yet If the sun keep shining still, Her perfect day will rise. The iky Is smiling over me, (lath smiled away the frost, Clothed with young green the patient len, With buds the woods embossed. The trees yet shut not out the sky, L se4•s down to the flowers; They lift their beauty tearlessly, They hide in leafy bowers. This (1,3.1 s yours, sweet birds; sing on ; The cold Is all forgot ' • Ye had a dream, but It Is gone ; Pain that Is past; Is not. Joy that was past, is come again And If the summer brings New care, It Is a loving pain, That broods Instead of sings. Blow on me, wind, from west and south ; Sweet smnmer•splrlt, blow ! Come liken kiss from dear child's mouth, Who knows not what I know. The earth's perfection cornett) soon ; Ours lingereth al way, We have a spring-time, have a moon, No sunny summer-day. Rose.sprinkled eve, gold-hranded morn, May still poor Nature's sighs ; To us a higher hope Is born— We rest In that we rise. But at last a sapphire day All over us will bow ; And man's heart, full of sunlight, say, " Lord, 'tis thy summer now." " Gloves, sir ? Yes sir. What number 1" The words fell with a tired little sigh from the lips of the young girl who stood behind the counter, and caused Douglas Lennox to take a second look into the sweet face and the dark gray eyes which met his for the first time. Bending over the box of gloves which she bad taken down for his inspection the young girl sighed again, and Douglas hastily rose front the chair upon which he had lazily dropped. "1 am ashamed to sit down when you are standing," he said. "I am sure you must be very tired. Are you not ?" That young girl would have refused to no. tice a remark Irom most strangers upon any subject except their purchases; but there are same people who we instinctively feel we can trust, and, Douglas Lennox's voice and frank honest face effectually disarmed resentinpnt. She looked up and said : " nether tired. I have been on my feet all day ;" and the faint smile which dimpled the, corners of her mouth added, to the young man's eyes,to the winning beauty of her face. " But you can sit down when you have a spare moment," he said, somewhat indig nantly. The young girl shook her head. !` No, not in business hours." "Itis a shame," said Douglas. " I hat e heard that such abominations existed in our city, but I never really believed it."• PREVENTS " It is allowed in some establishments," said the young lady. "Then why do you not leave your place here and go to one of them ?" asked Douglas. She gave another faint smile. " If you had been a shop girl for four years and knyw the difficulty of getting a situation, you would not ask that question." Then hastily pushing a second box of gloves toward him, she added, in a lower tone, " Mr. Shel don is coining this way. I should lose my place here if he heard what I said. Please .look at the gloves." An:l Douglas, not stopping to examine whether lie got the number he wanted or not, quickly selected two or three pairs, paid for them and left the shop. But he carried with him the image of the sweet.faml shop girl, awl it haunted him un accountably all day. " Poor little tired thing," he said, pityingly, " I wish she were my sister, and then she needn't work so hard." Once or twice he curled his haughty hp at the idea of himself, the aristocratic Douglas Lennox, who watole master of an estate in the country, who counted his money by thims ands and who had been for several seasons the lawful prey of nil the managinz mammas and matrimonially inclined daughters In "socie ty," should be wasting so many thoughts on a little shop girl ! But, if he was aristocratic, Lennox had no false notions about the disgrace oflabor. The ,ittie shop girl held the same claim to honor in his mind that she would have held had she been a queen. And when rather early next morning he took his way to the shop, Douglas acknowl edged to himself that his purchase was mere ly as excuse, and his real object an honest in terest in, and a warm desire to see again, the winning face which had haunted him since yesterday. That she recognized him, Douglas felt sure, from the faint, sweet smile which again dim• pled the corners of her small mouth. But he said nothing except about the goods. Ile looked at her, however, with an earnest glance of admiration, and when in giving the change, her soft hand accidentally touched his, it sent a thrill through his whole frame. "Whew," he said to himself ; lifting his hat and drawing a free breath as he left the shop. "Douglas Lennox,l believe in my heartyo're captivated at last And that, too, by a little shop girl whose name you don't even know ? Wonder what sister Bell would say?" And as he thought of his stylish sister entering that' very shop, and buying of that very little girl, entirely unconscious that her brothel's eye had rested admiringly on the sweet face, Douglas laughed 'aloud. Well, after the little speech he math, as he left the shop, I think you can imagine about what followed. It was astonishing how many little purchases Douglas found he couldn't do without in the next few weeks. And from dropping in at the shop he happened to pass he only went to one particular shop. And if it so happened that he was waited on by any other than ono particular_ person ho had the blues all day in oonsequence. How earnestly he longed to learn her name nobody knew but himself. He dared not to ask her and ho did not know how else he Should learn. But "fortune favors the brave," you know, as one morning, while ho was bus ily selecting some cambric handkerchiefs; from a box, the proprietor of the shop came up and addressed her, calling her "Miss Romer." MEE THE TURN OF TUE YEAR DT otortoE MACDONALD ONLY A SHOP GIRL Douglas flashed a quick, pleased glance at her, and the color deepened on the young girl's alecks as she met it with her eye. Miss Romer, he repeated, ".I am glad I have learned your nam , ,beeittse you remind ed me or my sister," (0 Douglas, it wasn't because she looked like her then !) " nave no sisters, or brothers either" Bald she, sadly. "Have you not ?" said Lennox, pityingly, " I should he very lonely without mine,thoult I have only one sister. Now that I have learned your name, may I tell you mine " If you plea9i.," said 'Miss Romer. "It i t Douglas Lennox, at your service. Please consider the owner your friend, Mies Romer." said the youn ; man, so gravely and kindly that she could not be offended. "Thank you," she said, simply; then pushing the box of handkerchiefs near him, added, " Do these please you ?" Douglass was very q.iick to take the gentle reminders which she sometimes gave him that he was prolonging his stay, so he turned his attention to the handkerchiefs. It chanced that Miss Romer, still let her hand rest upon the edge of the box. It was a very small, white hand, with little dimples at the joints, and pink, swell-like nails; and Lennox, who was a passionate admirer of pretty hands, longed to clasp them to his lips. But lie was a chivalrous gentleman,and would no mote have taken aby liberty with the 1111111_ ble shop girl titan with the highest lady in the land. Almont this Cline Douglas to early morn ing walks. which getter ,Ily lei down Ches nut t. Whether the tact that he occasslon• ally nwt. Miss Romer on her way to the shop, and once or tu ice walked with her, had any thing to do wills the matter or not I can't say. But biter such occ isious I do know that the spirits of Mr. Douglas .Lennox improved considerably. One : unday afternoon near sunset Douglas left a lively circle in his sister's parlor and went out for a quiet walk by himself. lie en tered one of the parks and was strolling through the sunny, green paths, when his heart gave a quick bound at the sight of a trim Mile figure in blue resting on one of the shady snits. For a moment he hesitated, then he crossed over and spoke. "Good evening, Miss Homer." Miss Romer rose with the ladylike grace which had long ago told Douglas that she was used to cultivated society, and returned his salutation. And then they sat down again together, and, yielding to the calm Sabbath evening influences, they fell into a quiet talk, naturally, us it they had been old acquain- They talked of themselves, and Miss Rom. er told Douglas that her home had been in Westmoreland and her father a gentleman of means, tt ho had lavished upon her, his only child, every advantage which money or taste could procure. She told him of the death of her father and mother in a single week, and how her father's estate proved involved and and left her penniless end alone. She lid hint how she had sought for sane means by which to support herself, and how she had finally obtained a situation In Mr. Sheldon's establishment and kept herself in comfort. And Douglas told her that he too was an orphan, only himself and Bell left; but he touched very lightly on the wealth that was his, lest it should give her pain. While they talked Miss Romer dropper to r kn, and Douglass, picking it up, saw writl ton upon the plain ivory handle the name "Helen Romer." " Ilel. n was my mother's name," he said micro t,3 " Was ?It is mine too," stud Miss Bo nier, iu pleased surpris,. "I am I,lad it is yours," said Douglas. And he fell to thinking how lieu he had written his molter's name, "Ilelen Leand x,"and ho w much he would like to write it again with an "R" h tweet the mum a. They sat very still a little while, hardly talking t all, and forgetting the lateness of the how, until the gleam or the lamps close by start ted Miss Homer. Site hastily' rose, saying: " I iiid not imow it was so late. I must go h o me et once." 011lig:(15 rpSC WO, saying " 3lny I accompany you ?" She h. bitatud a moment, her color came and went, told then she said, looking up with a pleading glance: "I h rather you did not, MiLennox." Don..!as flushed then, hut he asked gently : " Wl.l you tell me by ?" Helen was silent, the climson deepening In Jeer fair face; and preseutly Douglas repeated his demand in a firmer tone. " Plc..se tell me why, Miss Romer." " Bteause, Mr. Lennox, a young girl in my ptit,ition cannot have the friendship or the gentleman in yours without—without.—" She hesitated, and could not go on. " Without making herself a mark for idle and thoughtless tongues, I suppose you mean?" asked Douglas, with a dash of bit• ter:less in his tone. She bowed her head in assent.

Following hard upon the fleet skater were a ; peck of wolves as fleet. Charles ,rd !lde In ea thing, the short imp:Aient snifTs,the regular patter of sharp feet upon the ice like a click. The scene lay in Canada. The inoen sailed through drifting clouds, now partially obscured, then bursting forth in a flood of silvery light. At one side was the dense pine forest, broken by clumps of leafless oak or hickory, and winding in and out as it followed the course of the river ; on the other, the wide, snow-covered plain. A mile yet before a house would be reached, and in that time— Brave as he was, Mr. Vance shuddered. At twenty eight there was so much of life before him. Ile had reached a point where fortune began to smile upon him ; and for the past six months his leisure hours hnd been bright with glowing air.castles,which all had Rose Ardley for their day dreams. For her sake it was that he had undertaken the perilous journey. Faster I faster 1 This turn showed him the fierce gleaming eyes that repented themselves until there seemed to be hundreds. Bays of lurid light Hashed out ; lolling scarlet tongues, that thirsted for a draught of blood,and a dainty morsel of flesh. A inis.step,a half-hidden bil leek of ice to trip the unwary traveler, a mo ment lost, and he would be In the poWer of these ravenous animals. No wonder his pul ses quivered, or that he shrank from so horri ble n fate. More than once he had gone up and down the river for pleasure. More than once there had been a gay party ; girls in their pretty skating costnint ; but sweetest of all was Rose, her golden curls blown about by the wind, her cheeks brilliant, her purple eyes di lating with enjoyment. Bright and coquet tish was she, fond of teasing him until his pa tience was almost exhausted ; but a sweet, loving girl in the midst of it. At midsummer she was to be his wife. lle had extorted that promise from her, though he would fain have taken her long before. And yet, only the other morning they had fallen into a trifling dispute about this very visit. She wanted him to go up tor this Thursday evening ; he hid not see his way clear to do it convenient. ly. "Thursday is pay-day," he said, alluding to his works and workmen. " I never can get away on Thursday nights until dark. My horse has fallen lame, too, Rose. I cannot ride him after to-day." "You once thought skating up the river a mere pastime," replied Miss Ardley ; and her tone was a trifle sharp and haughty. " In the day-time, and with company. That makes a difference," "Oh, very well; ifyou care so little to come there's no more to be said." And she turned away with an air of superb Indifference. - " Bose, it is not that. I can come up Fri day and stay until Monday." " But Thursday . night is Eleanor's birth• night. I thought of the pleasure to her to have you among her guests. Don't put your self out, 'however." Charles Vance was not a man likely to be canonized for either meekness or patience and she was purposely trying him. He felt vexed. "I'll come if I c tn," concluded Mr. Vance, shortly. Ills tone was cold, and his eyes wan dered over the waste of snow. "Wry well," she gaily said. "I shall ex. vet you, mind. Good-bye:" And she kisse,d 40 him the tips of her dainty fingers. lie strode down the path, unhitelicd, his horse with a jerk, and went riding over the road never once glancing back. Perverse Hose Ardley was privately peeping after him, rather enjoying than not the semi.quarrel. " I'll not go ; she shall not get Inc there on Thursday evening," lie answered to himself in his annoyance. But ere Thursday evening came his resolve was broken, after . the man ner of lovers, and he meant to go. "I must skate up," he said, "'the night's char and frosty." " Hope there'll he no wolves abroad, Master Vance," said the brawny Englishman, Hugh, one of his workmen and warm admirers.— " shausly shot one over by the bridge the other morning. You'd better take a pistol." "I'll trust to luck and my good skates," answered Mr. Vance, laughingly, rather ridi culing the notion of "wolves." He started. The night, as he had observed; was dear and frosty, very bright and cold. Half his journey had been accomplished, when he heard a shrill, sharp cry echoing from the woods. Then another, as if in answer, and one at a distance. For a moment his blood curdled in his veins. What were those cries? Ah. what—what but the wolves? Nearer came the cry ; and nearer : as if the dreadful animals scented their victim, lie glided over the ice like lightning, his strides quickened by the first click he heard from his pursuers. On, first, as rapidly as possible, to a straight line ; for not a second was to be lost. Every nerve and limb was strained to its ut most tension. A mile, perhaps ; and if he had to double— A horrible flash of despair al most paralyzed hint. That was certain death. Why fiad he been so heedless as to disregard sage Ilugh's warning ? But he had never seen a wolf during his sojourn in these Canadian Faster, faster I Turns that frightfully length- ened his journey, but gave him a moment's respite, for his pursuers were by this means thrown off the track, and were some time in recovering their speed. The moon shone out brightly. livery tree seemed outlined against the sky with painful distinctness; here a gnarled old oak, that had been riven with some fierce bolt; there a clump of gleaming evergreens, that mocked him in their security. And now the river widened. Hardly a week before, he and Rose. Ardley had enjoyed a gay frolic of skating on this very spot. Was she still vexed with trim? Oh, if he could but know. In imagination their red tongues seemed to touch him. One of them seemed to hurt him self in some way, for there Sharp howl of pain. The pursuit was stopped Iltr an in sisal, and then they came on the faster.— Charles Vance's limbs were weak, his pulses throbbing from exhaustion, his very brain reeled. The fiery eyes seemed to scorch him with their lurid glare, and now he could hear the rapid, 'expectant breath. So near safety, and yet— A despairing cry broke from his lips. Itose,llosel Farewell to her,to happiness, to all. Rose Ardley, the untrc of a gay group of cousins and friends,was this self-same evening doing her utmost to be attractive. She was fascinating at all times and seasons; but when she used a little effort, could make herself doubly so. So had forgiven Charles Vance a dozen times since that last. angry morning. lie would be Lure to come early, she compla- Ycently told herself, and be duly penitent. After all, Charles Vance was a brave, noble fellow. She thought showould not flirt one bit that night with anybody, else. The guests all arrived. All but 31r.Fance. Rose won dered. Had he been realty vexed,. and was he staying away to punish her? Well, let him stay. She should not mope or wear the wil low. Lovelorn-girls were always absurd. So Bose Ardley was the gayest of tho gay. They had a quadrille: some of the older ones sat down to cards. Dr. Caltran, a deeply scientific man and great mesmerist, and three or four others, went into a discusslon on that wonderful subject—clairvoyance. The doe. for had been relating certain remarkable in cidents, when it was proposed that a test should be given them. Who would become a subject ? No one appeared inclined at first, but Miss Caltran finally acquiesced, and took her seat in a`chair in a small room they adjourned to. The doctor had succeeded in sending her to sleep, when Bose looked in. Her attention was immediately arrested, and she Watched the experiment with much eagerness. , " Would any one like to put any questions?". asked Dr. Caltran. There ensued a silence. Eleanor Ardley broke it. " Rose will. Rose is always ready for any thing." And Miss Rose acquiesced at once. "I don't know what to ask,or what I would most like to hear," she sald,with a gay laugh. " Ask about Charley. Ask what keeps him away. You can tease him well, when you know that." " But—is there really any truth in it, Dr. tltran," and Hose's deep eyes were lum Inoue with sonic feeling akin to curiosity. "It Is true that the medium can in many cases seem to enter a person's mind, and an swer In a remarkable fashion," was the reply. "Many failures are recorded, and mistakes made, but I think they are due to our imper fect knon ledge of the science. Suppose you try, Miss; no one can suspect you of collu sion." Quite a circle began to gather round. Miss Caltran appeared to be In a tranquil slumber; ber lips were just parted, suggesting her where even teeth, which were very handsome. " Well," said Rose, daringly. "Place your hand in hers," directed the doctor. "Now think Intently of the subject in which you wish her to feel interested, and then ask your question." A thousand thoughts filled Rose Ardley's brain in an instant, but that of Charles Vance was the most prominent. What should she say ? for delicacy seemed to hold her back on this subject. " Make haste," cried Eleanor. "What is Charley Vance doing ? Has he gone to sleep and forgotten to come here? Or has he gone visiting elsewhere ?" Rose colored. "I think I will not ask—" but a chorus of eager voices interrupted her. " Plny fair now, Rose. No backing out." " Are you afraid ?" It was her cousin Kate who asked this, and the sarcastic tone would have roused Rose to any effort. In a strange flutter of nerve and brain she began.. "Don't get excited," said Dr. Wimp, smiling cheeringly. Rose's mood was too uncertain at first to sway Miss Caltran, (at least, so the doctor said ;) she moved uneasily, and vainly essayed to speak.. He approached to tranquilize her. It was sometime before any coherent answers could be obtained, and when Bose was wrought up to a strange .pitch, some sudden presentiment concerning her lovzr filled her mind with apprehension. As if translating the young girl's emotion, Miss Caltran began slowly— " Your friend is in great danger—great dan ger. He is flying for his life, first this ii•ny, then that," makings tortuous motion with her hand. • "He Is on the river—the ice—and something follows him Net. Hark, do you hear a sharp cry ?" Rose turned deathly white in spite of her strongest efforts. " Is he coming here I" she asked, scarcely knowing what'she said. " lib, heavens ! they are gaining on him fast. Ile goes like the wind, but they are too fleet." As Miss Callum said this—and it must be re marked that her words throughout were la bored and slow—she sighed deeply and evinced great agitation. Iler breath was long and painful. "Now they are up with hint—now ? Oh save him ! save him I Hark to their cries !" " Oh, by,lleacen, what fools we are !" and deely exclaimed George Ardley, a light break ing on him. " I see it all. Vance has skated up on the river and been followed by a pack of wolves One was killed a day or two ago, and several have been seen prowling around. Bun for your lives, friends. Get something and come to his assistance." Bose stood spell bound. For a moment the room swam around stars appeared to fill every space. George thruston his cap and coat, and slung his rifle over his shoulder. Two or three fol. lowed suit, and the rooms were in a whirl of confusion. " Let me go, too ?" Rose almost shrieked. I' My child, there may be sonic mistake," said Dr. Carlton, soothingly, alarmed at the consequences of his sister's vision. "Do pray be calm." "No, there is no mistake," she answered hysterically. " I told him to skate up—hls horse was lame—l flared dint to come. 0 merciful heavens, forgive me I" She was in a perfect agony of despair. The horrible vision her cousin George's words con jured up, made a more vivid one In her brain. Hei face that had been so brilliant a short time before, was now a picture of anguish. She could not help thinking that if any evil had befallen him it was clearly her fault. How many times site had tormented hint almost be yond endurance; been cool, capricious,laughed at his tenderness, and his love. Arraigning tier heart for judgment, she found it had been bitterly cruel to hint, to the man fur whom she would give up her life, if occasion required.

Hark I what was that? A sickening, des• pairing cry of mortal agony. Rise recogniz ed It for his voice—for they were close upon hint now. Yes the cry came from Charles Vance. With that one despairing burst ho gave up hope and turned upon his horrible pursuers. In the moonlight his eyes glared back to those fierce balls, and there was a deathly pause. The suddenness amazed the unreasoning brutes but the foremost couched to spring. A ball went whizzing by, so closely that Mr. Vance felt the hot air upon his cheek. Then a yell ensued, ending in a howl of mad dening pain. Another report, another; yet he did not stir. "011, Charles I Charles l" and the next in stant Rose lay senseless at his feet. . At first he could not think, cculd not speak: the utter surprise and sense of deliverance overwhelmendm. He knelt down on the ice trembling in every limb, and the rest came thronging around. The di3comflted enemy were retiring with savage cries, leaving two of their number dead behind them. "What Is It all ?" began Mr. Vance. "I —I cannot imagine--," "Do not try," interrupted George Ardley. "It Is the strangest thing that ever happened. Can yOu walk home? I'll see Rose." And he picked her up as though she had been a baby. They went home slowly. Mr. Vance's strength was all but exhausted. Angry mut terings followed them from afar; but there was no real danger now. Rose, reviving to consciousness, struggled away from her cons sin's prOtection. "Let me walk—l am quite well now," she said, with a touch of her old . Imperiousness: And she got to Mr: Vance's side.

Was Dr. Caltran surprised when he heard of the strange escape and saw the rescued man ? no made no sign. Miss Caltran, the clalr voyant, was herself then, save an Intense dull headache. "They had gained on me so fast, that it seems as if I could not have held out a minute longer," said Mr. Vance to the doctor. "Be side the short distance on the river, there was the dark walk up to the house, and my cour age was utterly giving way." Rose burst into tenni. "Charles, as long as I live I will never be capricious again," she whispered ; "no, not even when I am your wife ; I will try to be a blessing to you instead of a trouble." And he kissed the sweet lips for their fond confession. So it all erultal well. But the wonderful es cape of Charles Vance from the peril of the wolves is talked of in Canada to this day. Phenomena and Incidents of the Northern Fire. =1 • There are sorhe ph4Ses of the great calamity which fell upon this region last week worthy of scientific investigation. The testimony of the cooler-headed survivors of the fires at Feslitigo, the Sugar Bush and Williamsonville is united as to one phenomena. They say that the fire did not come upon them gradually from burning trees and other objects to the windward, but the first notice they had of it was a whirlwind of flame, in great clouds, from above the tops of the trees, which fell upon and enveloped everything. The atmos phere seemed one of fire. The poor people in haled it, or the intensely hot air, and fell down dead. This-is verified by the appearance of Many of the corpses. They were found dead in the roads a•id open spaces, where there were no visible marks of fire near by, with not a trace of burning upon their bodies or clothing. At the Sugar Bush, which Is an extent:et' clearing, in some places four miles in width, corpses were found in the open road, between fences which were only slightly burned. No mark of fire was upon them; but they laid there as if asleep. This phenomenon seems to explain the fact that so matiy were killed in compact masses. They seemed to have huddled together in what were evidently regarded at fife moment as the safest places away from buildings, trees, or other inflam mable material, and there to have died to gether. Fences around cleared fields were burned in spots of only a few rods in length, and elsewhere nottouched.. Fish were killed in the streams—as et Peshtigo. We bear the universal testimony that the prevailing idea among the terror-stricken peo ple of those places was that the last day had come. They needed not to be terror.stricken for such imaginings. What other explanation could be given to that imminent time, when there was an ominous warning and sound coming from the distance ; when the sky, so dark just before, burst into great clouds of ago, it.. 13,-,:::t4 of the forests came running for succor into the midst of the settlements, and a great, red, consuming,-roaring hell of fire fell upon all around. The dreadful scene lacked nothing but the sounding of the last trumpet—and, indeed, the approach of the awful roaring, and the premonitions from the distance supplied even that to the !inputted imaginings of the people. The Epsy theory, we think it is, that con tinued and widespread fires will bring on rain, seems to be entirely exploded in this instance. These fires had lasted nearly or quite four wet k 4, ravaging forests over a great area, and still not a drop ofrain. The rain only came •with a change of wind to the north Ward, and several days after the worst burnings weal over with:. NVIIAT A SURVIVOR SAYS T.., a person not In the fire Is seems incredible that so many should have perished In the flames. To me—and I presume to most of those who were in the fire—it seems a mir acle that so many were saved. If you sup pose the worst snowstorm you ever witness• ee, and each snow-flake a coal or spark of fire, driven before a fierce w Ind, and you have some idea of the state of the atmosphere at the time the fire struck the town. We all know how little pretence of mind mimy people have in times of great excitement, and but few persons know just what to do when death, in its most appalling form, stares them in the face. Of one thing, however, we may be sure—all, under such circumstances, do the best they are capable of doing. There were deeds of heroism, that fearful night in Pesh tigo, that Eire worthy a place by the side of the brightest and noblest facts of history. • Many lost their lives In attempting to save the ..livE of others. Many have been found clasping some darling object of affection in their arms, as in the act of shielding them from -the fire. Mothers were dreadfully burned, but saved theirfainilies. One was dreadfully burned in attempting to save his wile and two children; but they were burned. A young lady ran fir the river with ashild in her arms; but, over come by the heat and fright, fainted and was dragged to the water by some one and saved. In the morning BIM learned that her sister was burned. One old man, after the fire abated, was found so burned in the aide that his en trails hung out. Hishands and face were hor . ribly burned, and he begged piteously for sonic one to kill him and put an end to his misery —Grua Bay Advocate. OBITUARY-ROBERT ANDERSON Major General Robert Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumter, died Friday at Nice, where he was sojourning for his health. Our late civil war was initiated at Fort Sumter by the humane attempt of the Government to fur nish supplies to Its starving garrison, com mantled by the then Major Anderson. Pre vious to this he had withdrawn his forces, a mere handful, from Fort Moultre. This act was c , mplained of by Southern leaders as a breach of faith, but it sent a thrill of great sat• isfaction throughout: the entire North and caused the resignation of John IS. Floyd, President Ruchaman's Secretary of War. The rebels seized the Federal arsenal at Charles ton, Castle - Pinkney,•Fort Moultre, and Sulli van's Island. The lights in the lighthouse were extinguished and arrangement made for offensive operation. The Star of the IYMit left New York January 5, 1861, with provi• shins and supplies for Fort Sumter, but was unable to reach it. • After the inauguration of President Lincoln, and all aorta for peace falling, fire was opened on the fort from Sulli van's Island, and on the 12th of April, and after a terrible bombardment, Major Ander son surrendered, with the proviso that his gar rison' shculd retain their arms and perform' property and merchant with the honors of war, after having defended it for thirtpfour•hours. Major Anderson's health was very seriously affected' by exposure, and after this he did not render but little active service In [4e field, but was constant in serving the •Gavernment in other military ways. Re became an idol of the people, and Ins name, fame, 'end memory will ever be held in the brightest and most af fectionate remembrance: , ,
