The dwelling house of n. X. Camp
bell came very near being burnt on Tues
day last. A fire was built near the house
out of doors for some purpose. and the
house caught fire from brand that had
been carelessly thrown, when it commu-
nicated with the building. One end of
the house was badly burned. and the
fire had gained access to the roof before
it was discovered. A vigorous throwing
of water and the presence. of mind of the
few present saved the building and its
contents.

pleasure and prosperity in their journey
but hope to see them home again wher
the snow is gone.
