More Forest Fires Along the Della
ware.

New York, June 1.
A Port Jervis dispatch says heavy fires
have again broken out in the mountains in
Sullivan and Delaware counties. and are
dong much damage. The sky in that d.
rection has been illuminated tor several
nights. The village of Bethel, in Sullivan
county, was surrounded two days, and was
saved after fight with the flames for a
day and night, by the populace. Three
buildings were burned. Two men, James
Heath and David Neal, were hemmed IN
by the flames while they were back firing,
and were seriously burned in making their
escape through the burning timber. Near
Minisink valley fires were started on
Thursday, by farmer named John Stan
ton, who set fire to a log pile in one of his
fields. In few hours over thousand
acres of splendid timber land, mill and
5000 feet of lumber, belonging to St.
John Gardner, and miles of fences were de-
stroyed. That fire has spread northward
into the Sackett Pond region, and south
ward through the town OF Forestburg car
rying destruction before it. In the towns
of Fallsburg and Mamakating confagra-
tons are so fierce that families have been
obliged TO fly from their houses to save
their lives, leaving all their household
goods, stock, etc., to be destroyed. In
Delaware county the details of the extent
of the fires and damage done have not been
received. The less of one life is reported,
that of VIM. Corbin, wealthy and prom
inent farmer of cambridge, who was sur
rounded while fighting fire in piece of
woods on his farm, and being overcome by
the heat and smoke could not escape His
remains were recovered on Saturday, burned
almost to ashes.

ARLINGTON.

Decoration day was, as usual, fittingly
observed, in this town on Sunday, the Both
inst, under direction of Post. Dudley, G..
a. r., ii. S. Hard, commander. The day
was fine and everything seemed to smile
upon the efforts put forth for the perform
ance OF the tender and sacred duties of the
occasion. The graves of soldiers in West
Arlington cemetery and in st James church
yard in the village, were decorated in the
morning by details from the post. AT two
o'clock p. m, the members of the post met
informally at the new Evergreen cemetery,
in the south part of town, where large
concourse of people had already assembled
to witness and take part in the ceremonies.
The post colors were planted at the grave
of comrade i. H. Moore, where the whole
ritual was recited by the officers of the post
and comrades selected to take the several
parts. The Rev. Mr.. Groot of the Meth
odst church, acting as chaplain. The
decoration ode, "Cover them over with
beautiful flowers" was sung by a glee club.
After the decoration of graves, the exer-
cises concluded by singing the American
hymn. The display of wreaths and bo-
quets was very fine, far in advance of our
expectations, and the thanks of all are due
to those persons who so kindly gathered
together and arranged the flowers. The
occasion happening on the Sabbath day,
also added greatly to the solemnity always
attendant on these sad, yet pleasant duties.
There are soldiers buried in the different
cemeteries in town as follows; st. James
churchyard, West Arlington,.3 Ever
green cemetery, 8 total, ~. O.
MECHANIosvILLE.
Frederick Parmenter has commenced
work on his new house and has moved the
old one on to new ground to be repaired
for dwelling house. He is improving the
location Of his new house by a bank wall,
and otherwise.
Decoration day passed off quietly. A
few of the citizens and the old soldiers
gathered about one o'clock and went
to the cemetery near Mechanicsville,
and their tribute of memory and affection
was bestowed by casting flowers over the
graves of the departed soldiers. After Q
few short and appropriate remarks by
Rev. S. Dodd and Hon. Il. Fisher of Cut
tingsville, prayer was offered by Rev. s.
S. White. The soldiers carried the flags
to be placed over the graves of their faller
comrades at sunrise, Saturday, Goth.
