FIRE AT SALEM, April l7-About 2 o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the Belvidere Sa-
loon and burned all the buildings near Griswold's
and Holman's Blocks, on Commercial street,
comprising Strang & Co.'s tin store, a barber
shop, Starts tin store, Belvidere Saloon, Amer
lean Hotel and Wright & Uzafovage's grocery.
Griswolds Block and warehouse in the rear
narrowly escaped the conaagration. Fortunate
ly, soon after the fire broke out, a heavy shower
of rain fell, which no doubt, prevented the
flames from spreading more. The loss is esti-
mated at about 100000. No insurance. It is
supposed to be the work of an incendary.

SHARP PRAoTIcE.-There is gentle
man residing in the easterly part of this
city, Of whom the following story is
told He is known among the merchants
OF Boston and New York as an intelli-
gent and successful shipmaster. Some
time before the fall Of Wilmington, and
when that place was in the full tide of
successful blockade running, our ship
master was urged by certain parties to
undertake the venture of running car
go Of cotton out Of Wilmington and in
70 Liverpool, they promising to provide
q suitable vessel for the purpose. He
finally consented, ran into Wilmington.
shipped his cotton and ran out again,
successfully eyading our blockading
squadron. Once safely out, however, he
raised the stars and stripes and headed
the vessel for New York, arrived there
safely, sold the vessel and cargo for a
handsome sum, and with part of the
proceeds bought a house in this city,
Which he paid for in gold. It is not
very likely that the prime movers in the
affair will ever make much stir to recoy-
er their vessel or cargo, though thew
will not be very likely to ask that man
10 run the blockade for them again.

AGED PEDEsTRrAN.-The Burlington
Free Press says:
Among the guests at the Summit
House on Mount Mansfield, August Esd,
was Silas Baker, an old man of rs, who
came up on foot from Underhill. He
assembled the mountain just Sc years pre-
vious, that very day, August 23d, 1909,
having gone up with party of six,
through the Notch, and up over the
Chin. The other members of the party
were ARENAS Howe and Zenas Baker,
(both dead) Ferrin Holmes, Clark Bak-
er and william Walbridge, who aresliv-
ing. .=....
The next year, 1910, Mr.. Baker says a
party of four went up the mountain,
one minister, who preached a sermon
on the Chin, from the text, "Behold the
wonderful works of God !"
Mr.. Baker has never been up the
mountain since, till this summer. He
described the appearance of the noun
tain fifty-six years ago, the whole top
being covered with forest, not having
then been burnt over, and spoke Of the
great quantity of blue berries to be
found on the mountain.
Mr.. Baker remembers distinctly when
Barton's Rock, in the Notch, fell from
the mountain he was quite near at the
time, and heard the fall, which shook
the ground like an earthquake and rat
tied the windows at Cambridge, several
miles distant. The original name of the
rock, Mr.. Baker says, was "Burton's
Rock" from the coincidence of its fall
with the birth of a child in Cambridge
named Asa Burton Ingram but in time
the name had been changed to Barton's
rock.
