Political Markets.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Last evening,
Just before dark, the residence of Mr..
Allen C. Miller, of this village, was dis
covered to be on fire, and, despite all
efforts to save it, was soon burned down.
The building had been undergoing re-
pairs. The workmen, who had Just fin
ished and were preparing for supper,
first discovered that there was fire in the
garnet. Soon the flames were bursting
from the roof. It is supposed that the
fire originated in some defect in the
chimney at or above the entrance of the
stove pipes. The goods were nearly all
taken from the house before the fire
reached the lower rooms. Mrs. Miller
was very sick at the time and had to be
removed on a bed to a neighboring
house. She endured the shock very
well. The loss will be some six hun
dred dollars. No insurance. Mr.. Mil
Ter is a man who is very highly respected
by the community, and they will not be
backward in helping him to bear the
loss.
This morning IS Mrs. Casterline, an
old lady of this place, went to the yard
to milk, a COW that had heretofore been
gentle, turned upon her, hooked her
down, and continued to hook her until
two ribs were broken and other bruises
sustained. She is mo thought, however,
to be dangerously injured.
1t will be gratifying to the patrons of
the a. & G. W. r. r., to learn that the
new depot is now completed and occu-
pied by the Agents. 1t is in every re.
speot what was promised, and we are
highly gratiied at having u expecta-
tons 50 fully realized. The building it
self is 2Ox1OO feet, with a projection of
roof of six or seven feet, and a platform
around it ten feet wide, except on the
north end where it is t~wenty-four feet
wide. In the south end is the ladies'
waiting room, 16x20. Next is the gen.
eral Office, 12x2O, with a large bay win
dow in front in which the operator sits,
having a view of the track for some two
miles or more. Next to this comes the
g~entlemen's waiting room, also 16x2O;
then the freight Office, sx2O. The bal.
ance of the building, 4Sx2O. is used as a
freight room. The story is thirteen feet
high. 1t is finished in good style, and
for convenience in every particular is
not excelled by any station house on the
road. Together with the grading, the
cost amounts to some six thousand dol
lars.
When the balance of the improve
ments contemplated are finished, the
appearance of our place will have
changed for the better very much. The
building formerly owned by Harvey
Love, and occupied by him for q resi-
dence, post Office and shoe store has
been purchased by Ezra Faunce, moved
onto the corner of Railroad Avenue and
Latin St., thoroughly repaired and is to
be used by him for a post office, resi-
1ence and store. Under it he has build
ed a basement story to be used as a res
and a meat market. The other
;tore-house moved from the railroad
grounds, owned by Frank Graft, and
by Hathaway & Bacon as a
and provision store, has been
farther up Main Street, repaired,
md is now occupied by H. G. Bacon for
he same purpose. Since purchasing
he interest of his former partner, Nj. ;
Bacon has reflled his store with a fresh !
upply of goods, and is doing a large {
BUSINESS, which all such men as Mr.. B. c
will do in every community that APP c
~reciates honesty, courtesy, business q
act and fair dealing in a trader. 1
