thrown in to relieve it from a monotonous
tameness, which we, change seeking mortals
could hardly endure. Variety we want and
variety we must have-although sometimes
we get more cayenne and mustard than is
pleasing to the palate. We are satisfied with
each varying season as it rolls around, and
why not welcome the vicissitudes of this vary
ing sphere , Nature looks pleasant and smil-
ing in spring, while taking the first stitches
in her summer dress she appears lovely, while
elegantly a,tired from top to toe-and, for
my part, admire her, even when the rude
embraces of Autumn have mussed her hair
and rumpled her drapery.
Now, my dear brethren, seek for sunny
spots and you will find them; but if, like
melancholy owls, you are determined to keep
in the old woods of woe and misery during
the day. and only come out at night to COM
plain of the darkness-why, then the sooner
you are o-p-h for another world, the better it
will be for you. and the community at large
We don't want grumblers here to create dis
cord in the complete orchestra of the universe
or to mar the social harmony that exists
among mankind. If you think there are no
sunny spots for you between here and the
latter end of natural life, advise you to
take short cut to eternity-and bequeath
your old boots to me. So mote it be!

Accident.

On Monday, the Sth inst, an infant child of
Mr.. Jacob Ross, of West Camden, was left by
its mother and girl, for few moments, tied
in a small low chair, near the fire. While they
were gone it fell on its face and hands into
the fire, and was so badly burned that its re-
covery is doubtful.

DEAR DocToR AS the small pox is pre-
vailng at the present time in Townsend, and
you have probably heard many different re-
ports, thought would drop you line. stat
ing the facts of the case. Mr.. Loring Pierce
says that while in Boston 'loafer" came on
board his vessel and stopped half an hour
He noticed at the time that his face was COW
cred with "scabs." At the usual period after
ex posure he was attacked with the premonito-
nv symptoms of varioloid, which terminated
very favorably, with pretty full eruption
His wife, who had been vaccinated had the
varioloid in a mild form, with but slight erup-
ton. Also, his oldest child, whom I vacci
mated after the premonitory symptoms, had it
in its mildest form but younger child, who
was first attacked and not vaccinated, has the
small pox in very severe form. He was evil
IDENTIFY inoculated by bringing his face in con-
tact with his fathers when there was some
slight abrasion of the skin. Mrs. Thurston
(mother of Mrs. Pierce) has the small pox
with not more than the usual severity. She
would not submit to vaccination.
There have been as yet but three cases OF
small pox, Mrs. Thurston and Mr.. Pierce's two
children, and two of varioloid, MIR. Pierce and
wife. If the disease is arrested without any
more cases. shall be most happily disap-
pointed, as large numbers have been exposed
to the contagion. Yours truly.

For The Northern Tribune.
BRUNSWICK, Nov. Is, 1S47.
My DEAR TRIBUNE:-I write to tell you OF
what you have probably heard already, the
destructive Ere of this morning in Topsham.
The two villages were alarmed by the bells
and the cry of fire about o'clock this morn
ing, when the Mills of Messrs Barrons
Thompson, Haskell, Perkins, and others, were
found on fire, and were soon wrapped in
flames. These Mills were situated on the up
per side of The bridge, which, one may well
suppose, was in no little danger from the large
quantity Of heavy lumber beneath. TIE new
Box Factory was also in no little danger from
the piles of lumber about it. But the three
engines were soon on the ground, which, with
the aid Of the ndomitable millmen, the cti-
zens, and many active students, soon set
bounds to the rage of the roaring element
The Mills were soon demolished, and the
fire advanced rapidly through, over and under
the huge piles of lumber extending under and
below the bridge, and was not disposed to yield
in its defended, uncomfortable positions, to our
strenuous efforts when Maj. Morse and his
crew came to our aid with the Factory En-
CINE. 1t were as if the old Androscoggin had
come to our aid in his might. Then our slow
ly retreatng forces took new courage, and ad-
vanced to the charge. pierced the enemy's line,
turned his tanks, and took the remains cap
tiye-Old Vulcan had to yield to Neptune,
But the obstinacy of the fire may be imagined,
when we remember the constant deluge of the
Factory Engine was pouring in upon it for
hours and hours, till o'clock this afternoon,
when in fact, the fire was only got under, not
nut out. Besides the mills and lumber, a
small part of the Topsham end of the bridge
was burned and cut away.
The amount, of damage is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. Some insurance, but
small, compared with the loss. u. w.
P.S. may safely add, Firemen never work
ed better, though the contest was long and
hard.

Every man has certainly right to live and
the duty of every just man is to let him live.
Blessed be the day, if come it ever should,
when man will learn that his own true pros
perity is essentially involved in the prosperity
of his neighbor.
