CAD5r.-At II O'Clock, Friday night, the
village school.house was discovered to be on
fire, and quite a general alarm was given, but
with some chopping and the application Of quite
a number Of pals of water, it was soon ex-
tinguished. 1t took from ashes in wooden
box set on the floor Of the hall over the school
room, and had it not been for its early dis
coyery, quite misfortune must have beiel our
village in the loss Of our nice school-bouse.
While the Montpelier 4 Wells River rail
road ran only to Plainfeld, eleven miles from
here, we received our mail at o'clock, in the
evening; but now that it has got to Marsh
field, six miles from us, the mail has been put
back on the old time, and is carried through
by team to Montpelier We now get it any
where from 10 to / o'clock, at night. But it
is said to be an ill-wind that blows no one any
good. Tie late arrival Of the stage led to the
discovery of the fire above mentioned

llARnwicK Tho annual donation oyster
supper for the benefit Of Rev. c. Tabor Meth
odis) came of Thursday evening last at the
Town and Academy halls. The entertainment
was supplemented BY lecture on Religious
Sociali,y, delivered in his usual racy and forci-
bic style. The attendance was not large, owing
to the bad condition Of the roads occasioned by
the thaw. Everything passed of pleasantly,
and about fifty dollars was realized.
The severe cold experienced on Monday,
the lst, has been very unusual, if, indeed, ever
equaled so early in the season. The mercury
Monday morning indicated twenty-four do
grees below zero, and at nine P. N. fourteen de-
grees below. The thaw so rapidly succeeding
on the 81 and 18th, reduced the snow about one
half and cleared the river Of ice.
