We learn that the fire under the
"big fill" of the Railroad track al
Brighton, about eleven miles from
this place, which has been burning
between seven and eight months, is
now about extipguished. In the
Observer, Of May 10, 1859, we gave
the following account Of the origin
of the fire, which had then been burn
ing about a month";
1t seems that at an early stage Of
the leveling on that part Of the Road,
the workmen built fire down in a
hollow, on a stump, at which to light
their pipes. As the work of filling
up progressed, lat pieces Of rock, or
rather species OF coal, lodged upon
the stump, followed by dirt, without
extinguishing the fire; until now it
is full twenty feet below the surface.
and yet burning, while columns Of
smoke having strong sulphurous or
stone coal scent, issue from the
ground.

the 69th year of his age. He was born May
30th, 1871, was one of the first settlers, in the
the county where he lived at the time of his
death. He first settled on fuckers Creek,
never having moved. He often spoke of the
many privations and hardships under
gone by him in the early settlement Of
the county, and was not a stranger to ficul-
ties. He was cautious and economical, and
managing; as a neighbor he was kind and OBJ
liging, "a friend he was firm and unwaver-
ing, as christian he was pious and consis-
tent, as father. grandfather, &C., devoted and
affectionate in all the relations of life. 1t may
be truly said of him. that he discharged faith
fully his various duties. and lived the life OF
true man, He has left to mourn his loss a
numerous train OF relatives and friends. He
obtained hope in Christ in early life, anG
had been member of the Baptist church
for many years. May we not say of him that
he has served his generation, by the will OF
God had fallen asleep, and has now entered
upon that rest that remaineth for the people OF
God. A FRIEND.
