A small Greeley and Brown flag, 4by 6inches,
was raised on Thursday night as joke, by a
few of the personal friends of a prominent
Anti Greeley Democrat, in front of his place of
business, on Main Street, in Saco. The joke re-
acted on one of the parties to it, who was an
active Greeley Democrat, by witty retort OF
the party upon whom the joke was perpetrated.
Upon being bantered about his sudden CONVEX
sion, he replied that the flag was a big thing,
full as large as the Greeley party would be in
November. The LAUGH was reversed

FIRE, AND WATER.-The three fires of Sun
day and Monday and the destruction of proper
ty by water-far greater than by fire--prompts
the inquiry whether some means may not be
devised to prevent much of the damage that
ordinarily follows slight fires. Since the intro
duction of Sebago disastrous fires have been an
exception in Portland; while the buildings have
been preserved almost intact serious loss has
followed by the liberal use of water The dis
cipline of the fire department and the abund-
ance of means for extinguishing flames have
taken off much of the sharp horror that natur-
ally attends an alarm of ire-especially if it
comes in the highland now a necessary step
is the further reduction of the amount of prop
erty lost, if possible. Portable fire extinguish-
ers have been brought to such a state of per-
fection-have been effectually used in num-
Der of cases in this city where serious confagra-
tons were threatened in the beginning-that
the adoption of them as an auxiliary to our fire
department is worth taking into consideration.
One or two could be placed on each engine and
put in charge of men detailed for that purpose
If the fire has not made great progress on the
arrival of the engines the extinguishers may be
used to advantage, and save hundreds of dol
lars',worth of property in single trial. If the
fire is at distance, and has got rapid Roadway,
or is in material of an unusually combustible
nature water may be used as last resort and
without waste of time. The experiment would
cost but little, and one successful application
might save more than the entire cost of the ex-
tinguishers

An Enraged Lover Murders a
Minister.

CINCINNATI, June 17.-Rev. j. j. Thompson,
formerly pastor of Christie Episcopal Chapel
in this city, but now of Leavenworth, Kansas,
was assaulted about II O'Clock this morning by
a man named Baum, who struck him with a
Ratchet, inhicting three gashes on his head, one
blow penetrating the cavity of the brain. 1t is
thought Mr.. Thompson cannot survive. The
parties cognizant of the circumstances are very
reticent, but it is alleged that Mr.. Thompson
called at the house of the former, a member of
his church, and ON leaving took the liberty of
kissing young lady of the family, who has
also been a member of the flock. This so en-
ragged Baum, who is the young woman's lover,
that he attacked Thompson. Baum thus far
has eluded arrest.
