Fira Alarm.
fiw OLD MAN AND A LITTLE GIRL BADLY ' aie 8 BURNED.
THUuRspay iil s alarm was canisedl by a fire that originated ina house on Grafton Giract east. Lhe occupant of the house, a very old man named Simmes was, late in the evening, engaged at picking oakuim be- fore the kitchen stove. He wa: assisted in his work by a little girl about eiga’ years o ase. Shortly atter 3 o'clock, a spark from the stove set fire to the okum, Waica larne diately went into a blaze thas complataly enveloved the old man. The girl, terror stricken on seeing her father surrounded by the fire, threw her arms around his neck and screamed in a very loud voice. Resi- dents of the neighborhood, attracted by the cries, entered the house and found the child clinging to the old man’s neca, surrounded by tie burning oakum. It was speedily ex- tinguished, and the burning clothes remov- ed from both. The body of the oid man 1s very badly burned, and the girl’s face le mich disfigured.

(From the Toronto Globe.)
Mrs. Livermore, in her recent lecture on “Husbands,” complained of the grievous dis abilities wader which married wowen labored in most countries. She said that she did not know what was the law in Ontario, and there- tore did not speak of it. Perhays others arc e jually ignorant, and i¢ may therefore be worth while tu state in a few words what the Ontiric law on the subject really is. Any woman mar ried before the 4th of May, 1599, may hol: property not then reduce l to possession of he: nusband. A woman married between 4th May, 1359, and Zod March, 1372, may hold her real property free from the debts aud con- trol of her husband without having hai an; miwriage contract. Any property receive. from her husband is not protected by this en- actment.
A woman married after the 2nd of March, 1372, may hold any property free from any estate or claim of her husband during her lite
A-wom.an married since 4th of May, 1559. may hold her personal property free trom th: iecbts and control eof her husband, always ex cepting such property as she may have receiv e4 from her husband, ‘The personal carning, of a married woman after the 2nd of March, 1372, are protected from the disposal of hei uusband, and cannot be seized for hi: ilebts.
In avery great number of specified cases : married Woman can obtain an order of proter- tioa for the earnings of her minor children, s: that her husband van no more interfere with, such earnings than if he were no relation, no. van these earnings be seized by the hasbaad s creditors. ‘Che separate property of the wifc is hable for her debts betore marriage. If by marriage contract the husband takes any iute:- est in the separate, real, or personal property f the wife, he becomes liable for her contracts aud debts maie before marriage; to the extent ar value of such interest oniy, and no more. Husbands are not liable for debta of thei: wives incurred before marriage, nor tor her debts in her separate contracts. Married wo. men can sue and be sued ; can insure their ow: yx their husbands’ lives; can hold stock and vote at meetings ; can depositin a bank and sheque out, &e,
AU this seems to us to give married women avery fair amount of protection. A

Iwas a d-legate ‘rom the National Board of Trade to the Do- minion Board, at its last sessiov, and, ia pr.- vate conversation with members of the Board unt of the Government, I showed them the lificulties in the way. Our fishermen had been waiting for some just such thing to hap- pen a3 a large award against the United States. it supplied them with just the arguments they acelei. <Alrealy they have memoralized JVongress, setting torth, in the strongest terms, juat the fishing interests of New bngland arc aot in the least benefitted by the payment oi che Halifax Award; and that it may be dis- unctly understood that people most interested, are not, in the least, benetitted by the treaty, and asking that some protection of their in-| terests be devised, and they have Gen.

Inme- diately on the receipt of the intelligence o! the Plevna defeat he telegraphed the new: in the following mysterious style: ‘I an nounce to you the marriage of Mlle.
