An alarm of fire was caused little be-
fore noon on Monday by tie burning Of
bed in one of the chambers in Dea. Thomp-
sons house on Elliot street, in the tene-
ment occupied by Mr.. Albert Baldwin. 1t
Is supposed that the bed clothing took fire
from having been thrown too near a stove
pipe which passes through the room. The
fire department was promptly on hand, but
their services were not required, as the
flames were promptly put out by the use OF
a Babc0ck fire extiuguisher which was
br ought from the "water cure buildings.
The furniture, paper and paint in the room
were scorched and blistered, and the whole
loss is about SIPS; fully insured.
-Two-thirds OF the seats in the town hall
have already been sold for Mr.. Beecher's
lecture, and there is no doubt that every
available foot of room will be occupied.
The demand for tickets by out-of-town par.
ties, is large and delegations are expected
from points in the Stale outside this coun-
ty, even. AS all tho seats in the hall arc
reserved ticket holders will have no troub-
lie in securing their places, and we are glad
to know that thereis prospect that money
enough will be received 10 Fay for the lee
ture and the accompanying expenses. Our
readers will remember that the date of Mr..
Beecher's appearance Is on Wednesday eve
ming, the 10Th inst.
The great temperance reform move
ment which has swept over eastern and
southern New Hampshire and eastern
Ma ssachusells has reached Keene, N. H.,
where the work during the past ten days
has been quite as successful as at any other
point. An idea of the nature and extent OF
the Keene revival may be gathered from a
paragraph which appears in another COL
ump. Mr.. John w Drew, of Concord, n.
H., one OF the leaders in the movement,
visited Brattleboro on Wednesday and held
a consultation with several gentlemen with
q view to attempting the work here. No
decision was reached, as it was uncertain
whether Mr.. Osgood, the pioneer in the
movement, could come here, but definite
answer from both gentlemen is expected
within day or two.
The Estey Guard are making arrange
ments for their proposed visit to the Gem
tennial Exhibition and the honorary MEM
bers of the company have been asked to
contribute portion of the funds necessary
TO meet the expenses OF the trip. On Thurs
day evening, Goth inst, 'sheet and pill
low case" and masquerade party will be
given at the town hall TO raise money for
the same purpose. 1t is 10 be hoped that
there will be full attendance. The Guard
continue 10 drill one evening week under
Lieut.. Totten, and are acquiring high de-
gree of proficiency. We understand that
the company intend to leave here in the
latter part of June so as to be in Philadel-
