 Fire in Po'keepsis.

Mir. o. Grady, of the Forbes House, and others sustain losses, most of which will be covered by insurance. Adoertises MT. s. c. Beckley, the pop. ular Canaan merchant is firm believer in the substantial benefits to be derived from advertising He not only advertises large ly in the local papers but has placarded in the depots and other much frequented places, some large and very fine advertising cards.

 Horse Diseass.-We hear that the horse 1 disease has reached Winsted Eleven hor- ses were sick last Monday and several more were reported Tuesday and Wednesday. As the remedy for this malady has been SO extensively advertised, and it is SO easily 1 treated, it would seem as though none of these cases need to prove fatal. LATER,-We were informed Wednesday afternoon. that something like 100 horses in Winsted were suffering with this disease. 1 4 Huge Blast.-LAst Tuesday morning about six o'clock, blast was exploded in the Chatfield ore bed which burned about a barrel of powder. and which not only lift ed immense quantities of ore from its bed of thousands of years, but lifted the pie lures from the walls of neighboring dwell ings, panes of glass from the windows, and in one instance tea pot from the stove, as we'll as doing very successful business in lifting people out of bed.

 La Winter Quarters. Amenia Times says that during the coming winter, ali mals of the Van Amburgh & Wombell me- nagerie will occupy for their quarters. the fair grounds of the Eastern Dutcness Agri- cultural society in that village, and that they are now within that enclosure. The ISnees says this menagerie has been greatly enlarged the past year, and without the new building the fair ground accommoda- tions would have been insufficient to house them comfortably. They go into their winter rest in excellent health and condi- ton, and their tarry in this place cannot fail, we trust, to be one of mutual interest. If so, we may hope for their reappearance eveay winter.
