THE FIRE.-We give more de-
tailed account of the fire in Lowell as
follows:
At about half past one o'clock on
Sunday morning, Mrs. Burdick awoke
and saw light shining in at the win.
dow of her room which was very near
the store. Looking out she saw that
the flames had burst through the roof
of the store. She raised the alarm
and in a few moments the store was
entered by the door. A hole was
then already burned through Che cell
ing of the sales room toward the rear
end, on the right hand side of the
room, and the open chamber above
that part OF the room appeared to be
completely in flames. 1t was useless
to attempt to extinguish the flames.
The desk and two showcases were
near the door and were carried ouo.
Two or three arm loads of cheaper
shelf goods were seized, and few
sample goods, whips, lamps, &c. from
the windows were saved. But the
smoke and flames filled the lower
room very soon after the doors were
opened. The store was closed early
in the evening leaving a small fire in
the stove with hampers closed. The
funnel passed through the ceiling and
into the chimney which rested on
planks across the collar beams. There
IS no way to account for the fire ex-
cept that the SCOT il the funnel or
chimney burned slowly and sparks
rom 1t worked out at the joints and
alighted in rags that lay III the rear
end of the open chamber where the
fire first appeared. To favor this sup,
position, is the fact that the wind for
the afternoon and early night was
8outherly, which wind encourages such
SCOT burning, hereabouts. Mr. Bur-
dicks loss is heavy for him, as he has
just begun in business, and a damage
to the town.
NEWPORT.
A horse barn and shed belonging
TO G. r. Drown, at the Centre, fell
in on the 22d ult., from the weight of
snow Oh the buildings. Mr.. Drown S
daughters twelve and fifteen years
old, were in the building feeding a
lamb when it fell, but miraculously
escaped unhurt. Part of the boards
were stripped off, and the two girls
extricated.
James Maxfield of this town recent
ly lost a nice COW by a peculiar dis
ease. The first symptom discovered
was bad look about the eyes, which
were very much inlamed, badly swell
ed and greatly protruded from the
head. Soon the hips were sweIled
very large and filed with yellow
fluid, and an examination showed that
some of the smaller intestiles were
black. The COW died in about -four
days. Mr.. MaXfeId, and perhaps
others, would like to know whether il
was pneumonia, the dreaded cattle
disease or something else.

For the Cure of Consumption and all
Diseases of the Lungs.

Diseases of the Lungs.
THIS BALsAh is introduced to the suffering
public after its merits for the positive cure of
such diseases have been fully tested. The for
mula from which it is prepared is referred to by
the leading medical journals as being equal to
any prescription that can be made up, for such
diseases, by the medical faculty. The BALSAM
is, consequently, recommended by physicians
who have been acquainted with its great success
AS an expectorant it has no equal! DIR. A. L.
SCOVILL, who has, for many years, been known
to the public throughout the United States as the
inventor Of remedies for the lungs, recommends
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM as surprising any
thing that has been offered to the public for the
cure of Lung diseases. He has used ii in his
own family with great success in the case of his
sister, who was supposed to be in the last stages
of consumption. This lady is now well. and has

rs'HE MEDICINE FOR
WHOOPING COUGH.

DODD'S NERVINE AND INVIGORATOR
gives agreeable and almost instant relief in the
spasms of WhOoping Cough. This is complaint
that all children are expected 10 have; and
when it comes, strange to say, they are left to
fight it through they best can, little or noth-
ing being done to break its intensity or help it
along. And when it is reflected that very many
of the diseases of older and adult years have

| like many of the weaknesses of women, are con
sidered SO much matter OF course that people
have become stoically unconcerned about them.
Let them cough it through, as we did, seems
generally to be the unfeeling word. Whooping

Jerry Drew'S Hotel at North Derby
came near being destroyed by fire at
five o'clock Monday morning. The
fire caught from the stove pipe in the
floor over the bar-rOOm, and had made
considerable progress, when it awoke
a person sleeping in a room above.
Had it been discovered five minutes
later, it is probable that nothing less
than a patent Fire ExtiDguisher could
have saved the buildings.
A correspondent says the storm on
Tuesday and Tuesday night Of last
week was very severe in the vicinity
of Derby Line, and that thunder and
lightning played slight part in the
storm. Towards evening a gentle
man living near Beebe Plain went to
Derby Line on business and return.

The Red JACKIE Coiburn Patent Axe is a splend-

cuts deeper than the common bit. 2d-lt being
round on the cut, it does not stick in the wood.

expended in taking the axe out of the cut as in

J. H. NJ. Cochran has sold his farm
to A. NJ. Hartman, for $4,000. He
sells a large amount Of personal prop
erty at auction, March 4, including
cows, horses, hay, grain, farming and
dairy tools. He also offers for sale
20 bushels OF the Norway oats and 3
bushels Arnautka wheat. OF these
oats Mr. Cochran raised the first year
seven bushels from one pint planted
in drills. This last season he sOwed
on ground prepared just alike. eleven
bushels of common oats, from which
he harvested 100 bushels, and from
three bushels sowing of the Norway
he got 80 bushels, the Norway weigh
ing three pounds more to the bushel
than the common. The season was a
poor one, and just as the oats were
in the milk, hailstorm passed that
way, damaging them materially. This
is but another evidence Of the great
growth and value of this species Of
oats.
