FIRE IN LEWISTON "A fire occurred in Lew
iston on Wednesday evening last, AS we learn
from the Journal, in the old wooden wooden
mill, which destroyed property to the amount
of $4,000. The fire was first discovered by
workmen who were making some repairs in or
about the Lincoln mill about half past eight
The fire originated in the attic of the southern
end Of the building, and was confined princi-
pally to that quarter of the building, the roof
and flooring only in that locality being burnt
through. The damage was principally to
The machinery and stock, which were com
pletely saturated with water. The building
and stock was insured in the Hartfnrd Compa-

WASHINGTON, January 2s, 1852.

VAsHiNGToH, january 20, 1907
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: l think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the
publication Of the "English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
ports, Of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head OF the law, whence have been derived, for tho
most part, the several systems, or less modi
fed, daily administered by the courts Of this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems may
bc, il is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEpIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATION IN EsGLANp, A coNsipERATIoS
OF the FIRST IMPORTANCE; for If the Reports of
cases decided arc Of any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands OF the profession the better.
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.
am, with great respect, your obcdiont servant,
