BRooKFIELD.-The barn belonging to the
cold Merrick place" in Brookfield, which is
now owned by Messrs. j. c. & George Howe
of Boston, was destroyed by fire on Saturday
evening, about 9 o'clock. The fire originated
in the eudeavor to smoke hams in barrel in
the barn. There was an insurance on the
property, of $50, and the loss was about $3.50.
There was no wind, and fortunately so, be-
cause the engine was incapable of being
worked.
Mr.. Ball, day or two since, while cutting
ship timber in Brookfeld, received severe
bodily injuries The tree, which Was large,
was feled, and while one of the large branches
was coming down it struck him on his side,
and at the same time the tree rolled over and
caught him on the other side, and thus he lay
between the two, His body was very serious
ly crushed, but the exact extent OF his injury
we are not able to learn.

OK RUNNERS is the jolliest way to enjoy
these splendid winter days. And though
fiery charger harnessed to a stunning little box
of sleigh with just room for buffalo and
ttoo is a decidedly fascinating picture-quite
dazzling to many eyes-indeed the cause of
considerable "going it blind" there are
those of mature years who think no small
beer of sliding down hill. The charms of
winter landscape as seen from the sleigh on
these cloudless, sparkling winter mornings are
not to be denied. Ride your fastest speed you
will find time to notice how the snow has
transformed all the earth into a region OF
beauty all the ugly places in the landscape
rounded into graceful shapes and magcally
altered in their snow mantles. The flashing
fields seem strewed with jewels, and the sun
light streaming down calls out of the snow the
tnts of the rose and the pale violet. The
skies look mysterious and promising. In your
warmth of excitement the air seems to almost
hint Of summer. Wachusett is purple in the
distance, the true artist tint and warm colors
are all about the horizons edge prophecying
of flowers and green leaves.
But while the imagination runs away with
the occupants, the horse sometimes runs away
with the sleigh itself. And what more dole.
fully exciting spectacle is there than a young
gentleman rushed down Main street by an
uncomfortable beast, at perilous speed till
his lady companion seizes the reins and sue.

RULED ENVELOPES The following dis
patch was furnished to the Sunday papers -
Baltimore, Feb. S.-The report that Govern
ment has decided to discontinue the issue OF
ruled stamped envelopes has produced good
deal OF dissatisfaction, especially among the
soldiers, with whom they are regarded as the
cheapest and most convenient form Of postage
stamps 1t is said that remonstrances against
this step are circulating among some OF the
encampments.
We are very much inclined TO the belief
that in relation To tie whole subject OF the
ruled envelopes, there is cat under the
meal" They have been Systematically pulled
from the beginning, with an earnestness that
does not belong to any department of Govern
ment and the above dispatch smacks of the
contractors hand.-B0Ston AdUertiSer, Feb. lOh.
A person in New York city, by the name of
Nesbitt, whose business firm has entire control
of the patent for ruling envelopes, can explain
the origin of that dispatch, we presume Its
one of those contrivances by which he and his
associates are trying to secure permanent
monopoly OF the business of supplying the
post office department with envelopes. Mr..
Nesbitt's ruled envelope is an impudent hum
bug, and we rejoice to hear that the use Of it
by the post Office department is to be discon
tinued We have made considerable enquiry
and can not hear of any body who ever uses
the ruled lines in directing letter. Many Of
the letters received by our banks come in gov
eminent envelopes, but observation has shown
that the writer's seldom, if ever, use the ruled
lines. Indeed, gentleman connected with
one of the banks, with whom we have spoken
on the subject, is sure that the lines are never
used by mis- correspondents. Most people seal
their letters before addressing them and were
il otherwise, there are not many to whom the
lines would not be an annoyance.
The story that "a good deal of satisfaction,
especially among the soldiers" has been pro-
duced by report that the government has
decided TO discontinue the use of such en-
yelopes, is one of those knavish inventions
employed by contractors and Others to pro-
mote their own interest at the expense of the
government 1t is a fact that the soldiers
seldom or never use government stamped en-.
yelopes. OF all the soldiers letters that have
been received at the post Office in this city,
not more than one or two, we believe, have
come in such envelopes, and in these cases
the stamped envelopes were used only because
they had been sent to the writers by their
friends at home. The third assistant post
master general who makes all the contracts
for envelopes, is an intimate personal aequaint
ance OF Nesbitt it is said. We hope, neverthe-
less, that he will throw out the ruled envelopes
and give Us better ones for the same price, or
those of similar size and quality at a lower
figure. NesDitt and his associates, we under
stand have been furnishing the department
with envelopes which others would furnish
without the useless ruling at a lower price.
We and most others who understand the mat
ter hope this contract will be discontinued.

The CoLUMBUs ATHENEuM.-The Thester
building, on State street, has been repaired and
fitted up in an improved style BY the present
proprietor at q large and liberal outlay. The
internal arrangement has been so changed,
modified and improved that II no longer bears
the aspect Of q thsater but of spacious, airy
aud comfortable hall. We understand that Mr..
Neil intends to make still greater changes and
improvements, and to spare neither labor nor
expense in rendering the Columbus Atheneum, 4,
the name now given to the new hall, or palace
rather, as place Of public resort for concerts,
lectures, ETC., worthy the Capital city of Ohio.
The Atheneum was opened on Tuesday even.
ing last by the Webb Sisters--Misses Emma
and Ada--wbo we're greeted, as might have
been expected, With large and gratified audi
ence.
We are pleased to announce that for some
time to come the Sisters expect to perform at
the Atheneum on Tuesday and Friday evenings
of each week. We shall expect to see this
neR and spacious hall we'll filled on next FRI
day Ito morrow evening, both on account Of the
novelty of the place and the pleasure Of seeing
and hearing the Webb Sisters, who, like Dyer's
landscape, are Fever charming, ever new"
