At an early hour Dr. Cook, who rooms overnead, heard a loud and long con- tinued whirriog souud, and on investiguting to see from whence it came found that one of the plugs had blown off the radiator in the front parlor and the steam was rushing out in such quantitics as to make it impossi- ble to see across the room. The paper on the walls, the portieres, the furniture, and everything in the room, were saturated with water, and anotber half hour of the warin bath would, undoubtedly, have ruined a good part of them, As it was the prom pt action of Dr. Cook prevented any very seri- ous hurui from being done, Young % Lostitute, The fricads of the Young Men's institute wero entortaiued last evening at the hall of the society on Main street.
