On openingiitthey were horrifed to find therein the remains of d human body in an adyanced state of decomposi- tion. The boys then started with fright, to inform their parents of the terrible discoY- cry. The news spread rapidly, and in an incredibly short time the.whole neighbof

 Almost a F'ire.-Last Monday; evening about half,past seven o'clock, fire was dis covered on thefyoof of the tenant house oi A. & s. B. Moore, located directly opposite the residence of s. B. Moore but pro5mrrpt Application of water extingulshed it. The fire had burnt throngh, the shingles, and water thrown through the roof from the inside held the element in check till a lad der was obtained and water'on the outside entirely lextihguished it. It is thought tc have ignited by the explosion of fire crack
 ers. This matter of protection against frs is certainly receiving too little attention ir
 this village. We have been very fortunate
 for some years past in'hasine nd destruct
 i've fires Here. but nd one knows how long
 we are to remain exempt from its terrofs
 Two or three fires in, Falls Village have hat
 their influence there,and the people of tha J place are now well tprepared to, meet ant
 successfully combat with the. ldevourinl
 element. .H SIX fire extinguishers, whicl
 are charged with carbonic acid gas, anf
 which have proved such a sovereign ere
 my to fre,l have been purchased, and thel are stationed in convenient locations ant bstand ready for use at ainoment's warning
 These, with suitable ladders, make q ,villag I fire, department, that is, of quite as muci
 value and importance to small villages a
 the larger departments to cities. Our citi
 zens will agree with eus when we say pre-
 cisely such preparations should be mad for this village. Six of those extinguisher
 should be procured and located in conven
 tent places through our streets, where the, may stand, and though no fire should oc | cur in some years, they will always b ready for instantaneous use. After tn \ purchase. no expense whatever will d Etend the machines to have them, alway } kready nothing being necessary but to pr them in convenient places, where theyfca lfbe readily got Ut for immediate use, an : let them stand. With six of these extin ? guishers, and half dozen ladders, of di , ferent lengths also conveniently locatet f we will be ina condition to regard o, - property ias safe from destruction by fir b Will the people think of these things?
