KEENE. N. III.
DEFENSE AGAINST TRAMPs.

The rush of tramps into Keene, last
week, caused large sale of door-bolts
and seven-barrelled revolvers. One of
the hardware dealers says that he sold
more door bolts last week, then he usu-
ally sells in year, excepting those for
new buildings. Young men, old men,
women, and great many that never
thought of having any fears of thieves,
are now well guarded, and should a
tramp apply he viii fare hard. The
new law will be vigorously enforced
and after they have found out what
treatment they are to receive, it is be-
lieved they will go around Keene rather
than encounter the workshops which is
awaiting them.

FIRE.

John Farnam's chair shop was entire
ly destroyed by fire Monday night. The
alarm was given just before ten o'clock,
and in the shortest possible time the
whole establishment was wrapped in
flames and burned to the ground. There
was no chance, consequently, to remove
anything; so all the machinery, stock,
tools of the workmen &c, were consum-
ed with the building. There had been
no fire in the shop since early in the
summer One of the men worked in it
Monday afternoon, using some of the
machinery, but it is thought from what
little he did, it could not have caught
from heated bearings. 1t is the general
opinion that it was the work of an in
cendiary. There was an insurance of
$4,000. Mr.. Farnum and the town meet
with geat loss by this fire.
