Halifax, N. 8., J'tdy 19.?News was | received by mail today or tho wreck of tbe schooner Pubnico Belle on the New foundland coast on July 9. Two women and five ehilderu went down with tho vessel. The vessel, which was com manded by Capt. Butts, left Catalina on the 8th inst. for fit. John's with a cargo cf lumber. .She had, besides the captain, a crew of four men and ten passengers, live of whom were women and as many Children. The vessel encountered fair wealher until 11:30 o'clock that night, when a sudden storm arose, which continued until daylight the next morning. The vessel loat noth her main and forsails and was driven ashore on the cliff at about 2:30 on the morning of the 9th. One of tbe crow got ashore with a rope, and by this means the rest of the crew dnd three of the women were saved. Mrs. Freemau and Miss Carolina Hlg gin8 were drowned, and also live child ren wore lost. One was an infant of Mrs. Freeman, three were children of Mrs. Kachel Burton (who was saved) and the other was a girl named AUcu Hicks. Those saved were Mrs. Rachel Surton, Miss Julia Burton and Miss Se na Wells. ^ Miss Seliua Wells says all the crew except the captain wont ashore first. While the latter, Was assisting Mrs. Burton to land, a heavy sea washed all tho rest of the women and children overboard. She, Mrs. Burton and Miss Burton were washed ashore, but noth ing was afterwards seen of any of the others. Those saved walked hdand for some dlbtinco until they came to the house of a fisherman,* where they wero cared for. Mrs. Burton says that but tor cow ardice of the crew all would have been saved. As soon as the rope was got ashore those "heroes" went ashore and left the captain to take oare of ten women ana children. He did the best he could, unassisted, and did not desert them until they were all washed over board. Mrs. Burton says that two lit tle Uoys, one of whom was her son, were seen after she got ashore, and their voices coula be heard calling for help. Beyond trying to reach them l>y throw ing a rope tho crew did nothing, and the agonized mother was forced to watch her boy go to death without be ing able to raise a hand tg help.them. The galleut little fellows clung on quite a while but the highs eoss Anally had their effect and they were washed off aad their voices stilled in death. Mrs. Freeman, one of the lost, was the wife of William Freeman, now in Victoria, B. C. Mrs. Burton and i*or whole family were on their way to St. John's to take passage lor New York, where her husband is. Capt. Butts confirms the story of the women, thctv his crew , jumped ashore at tho lirst chance, and left the helpless jpaasengers to their fate. The Weather and tbe Uropa.

Mum, July 10. -During a severe u'orm this afternoon an unfln lahed^hree.-story hotel at West Superior was bio vn aowu. When the storm came up Boss Car penter Cross called to bis men who were working on the building to get out of the building, and twelve of them jumped from the windows. At the same mo ment a number of passers-by ran into iructure to escape the storm. As they entered the building, without an Instant's warning, it collapsed, burying seventeen men. Tho structure did not uiov?? a loot from its foundation. It simpiv flattened out as though by a terrible blow from above. Three tiu-.J ners on the roof stayed where tlw<r were and escaped serious ipjury, though the fall was tuirty<?M0Ffeet. ./ Hundreds saw tho catastrophe, and the work of fescue begau at once. The ruins stood not six feet above the ground, and the roof seemed to coyer the whole, greatly retarding the work of rescue. , 11 ermann l'aussey was first recovered. He was found in a sitting position, bent nearly double, with spikes driven into his spine and almost every bone in his body broken. John Laur was found on his back, with four timbers lying across him, cutting his body into as many pieces. It was a horrible sight, and the over work d rescuers sickened in removing the body. John Schofleld was found in what evidently had been a room on tho third Uoor, and was still alive, though he died | as soon as the weight was removed from him, his back being broken. The bodies of Charles Lucius and an . unknown man, evidently one of those who took shelter in the ill-fated build ing, were found in a room on the ground Hour. Both bodies were flattened out of all resemblance to humanity. While the work of rescue had been going on, raiu and lightning, with high wind, had set in, and the violence of the storm became territlc, forcing the men to leave work, which has now been resumed. It is probable that all the bodies will be recovered before morning. In addition to the list of killed, live others are unaccouuted for and are be lieved to have been killed. At East Superior a dwelling was struck by lightning and its inmates severely injured. The storm was the most severe rain and wind storm that hav yi?ited this section of the country lb many months. Stay lug Away from Church. Mr. BurdottOt-though not a preacher by profession, does somo good exhort ing. Not long sinco he gave some reasons why men do not go to church, and did it so well we give it after his fashion: So you are not going t? church this morning, my son ? Ah, yes, I see?the music is not good. That's a pity; that's what wo go to church for, to hear t ^e music And the less we pay tho better music we demand. And the pews are not comfortable. That's too bad; the Sabbath i3 a day of rest, and wo go to church for repose. The less work we do during tho week the more rest we clamor lor on Sunday. The church is far away, it's too far to walk, and you detest riding in street car, and they're always crowded on Sunday. This is indeed distressing. Sometimes whep 1 think how much farther away heaven is than tho church, and that there are no conveyances of the road of auy description, I wonder now some of us are going to get there. a rr-nd the sermon is so long always. ah nusio oafngsf are indeed to be re gretted. I would regret them more sincerely my boy, did I not know in a few weeks after the frost ts out of the ground you will squeeze into a stuffy street-car with a hundred other men, breathing incense of whiskey, beer and , tobacco, and hong on to straps by your eyelids for two miles then pay fifty cents for tho privilege olSaitling qq.?yV routrh plank \i\ tho.?' onrtllng sun tor two hours ley .5r, while: in tho intervals of q ? ecratchUmid will blow dis , thunder out bf a dozen misfit |ip?igtit lu your very oars, and come mo to talk/the rest of tho family into a state or f&ural paralysis about the dandiest gtfrrtc.s you ever saw played on thom grounds. Oii*vlay/preaohor does not appear to bo sattajica wich reasons of tins kind. SO far t'ro'bi it, he is of tho opinion that tltey^jiiujies, all so much lying, led thereto bytho father of lies, the devil himself. For he goes on to remark (ids sermon not quite ended:) Ah, my tioy, you see what staying away iro'm church does! It develops a habit of lying! There isn't one man in a hundred who would go on the .witness stai d and give under oath tho same roasorv for not going to church 'that he gives his family every Sunday >" ">r;;lng. My son, if you don't think yotj ought to go, you wouldn't make any excuse for not going. No man apologizes for doing right. There is-oaeYnndbut one, reason why people do not attend church?they do not like Uod or the worship of Cod. What will such peoplo do when they get to heaven ?
