kee. occupied by the Pennsylvania Oil Com.
pany, was nearly destroyed by fire on the
morning of the 9Th inst. 1t seems that a
German boy in the store was drawing cam
phene from barrel. when man standing
near by, smoking, dropped some fire from
his pipe upon the barrel or can, which in.
stantly exploded, setting the whole interior
Of the store on fire. The boy, and also the
man who was the cause Of the disaster, were
badly burned. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000.

and yet, Notwithstanding all this, the Herald
knows to the contrary.

The "wllisperer.0

An army correspondent in Virginia re.
latcs the following incident of one of the
lodges which are resorted to by soldiers to
obtain their discharge:
One of the guards attracted my attention,
because he was apparently voiceless. This
soldier was robust and strong, but could con
verse only with "bated BREATH" or in low
whispers. Four weeks he was on duty, and
| saw him daily, in calm or storm. but he
never spoke aloud. He said he caught cold

and since then he could not talk. A few
days previous to the general movement of the
army he succeeded by some strategy in get.

discharge papers made out, and would have

THE ATTENDANCE,


The attendance of people at the fair was
large and the receipts were all that the Off
GERS anticipated in these troublesome times.
The receipts amount to about Sl2, 900, be-
ing sufficient to pay the expenses and pre-
miums, and have good surplus left. The
weather was pleasant while we were there,
and all seemed well pleased with the farmers
jubilee.
Never was town 50 completely deluged
with people as was Decatur during the two
nights we were there. Every place that CO.
shelter human beings from the cool night air
seemed filled. We heard some few com
plants against the landlords of the hotels
imposing on their guests by exacting exorb-
liant charges for wool sacks filled with hus $
for beds, and flour sacks for pillows, filled
with straw. Thanks to kind friends, VIC were
not exposed to the tender mercies OF such
sharpers.
There were not as many visitors from other

A MARVELLOUS Story OF 4 Pic
rUnE.-An original picture Of Charles
l., which was supposed to have been
lost in tho time Of commonwealth, when
to prevent discovery of tho portrait,
they reduced it in size by cutting it, BY
Vandyck in the year 1910, when the
king was forty years OF age, ono year
before the painter died. This painting
had, for great many years, been
thrown about as valueless it was so
black it could scarcely be perceived
what it represented, and the frame
was so rotten that it broke away as it
hung. For the last ten years it was in
the possession Of Mr.. Ward, ut the
Seven Stars, Anchor Lane, and when
he left the house aud sold off, Mr.. W.
Lewis. furniture broker, Silver street,
bought it and took it home. 1t was
thrown about for long time under a
heap ofrubbish ; at last it was picked up,
and ordered to be scrubbed with the
scrubbing-brush, and when done, it
was hung up In his WarcrOOms to d1y.
Several people passed and repassed, who
asked the price of it, but thought they
would consider the matter. At last
Mr.. Taylor saw it, and bought it for 2s.
Within week he was offered EGO for
it. That gave Mr.. Taylor an idea Of
the value Of it. lie then. took it to
the National Gallery to know if there
was such a painting missing, and had
answer that there was, but finding that
it had to go through process to bring
it there, he returned to BArnstable
again with it, and since that he has
been offered as much as $4,000. But
it is considered worth 100000, being
one of the most valuable painting,
known.
