An Important and valuable contribution
to the fire literature of the day is afforded
by a published, statement of the observa

artillery who was present at the Boston fire
of the 30th of May last, and who writes
with the authority of an expert and a train
ed scientist He deduces as the result of
his observations': '
L That all attempts to extinguish the
flames of a house thoroughly on . fire are.

wUl standout, amid the Actional issues of the
present season, like a pure nainn in th midst Of
paltry paste. It is one of tne most fervid and un
impressive narratives that has ever fallen, from the
press. With s power possessed by no female writer
of oar day, unless It be by the lamented Grace Agoil
ar. Its fair author strikes on every page for the in
tellects and hearts of her readers, and rarely fails to.
touch the latter or take the first captive. AS a pic
