A correspondent of the Oxford Democratic
gives an instance of pluck. The late fire at
West Bethel converted the beautiful buildings
of E. G. Wheeler, Esq, in few moments
into mass of blackened ruins, his aged
father and little children merely escaping the
the flames. Instead of sitting down and COM
planning, he simply said with q smile lighting
up his countenance, "My wife and babies are
safe, there stands my shop, and my tools are
safe, and here am, these hands can earn
bread faster than my family can eat it," The
next day he moved his family into house
near by, and to-day, by the aid of his neigh
bors, he has got up the frame for house and
ell, and the whole is nearly boarded in. So
much for clear grit and kind friends.
