Roys That Nice Little Fire.-Three young lads gathered together 8 pile of shavings and other inf1ammable material last Sun
 day, and carried it and put under the ell part of Clark Bros store. They thought it would be such good place to build a nice little fire, and nobody would see them. They were in the act of lighting 8 match and igniting the shavings when they were discovered and prevented from doing SO. There is not much doubt but that the store would have been fired, had that nice little blaze been started, and with that store on fire, nothing could save the entire business part of the village. It is said that these same boys wont be likely to forget
 their little experience after the discovery of their fun by their parents.
 Personal-Mr. George K. Barton, son of the Hon. Pliny l.. Barton of Salisbury, Conn.,, arrived in this city yesterday to be-
 come clerk ill T. M. Fulton 6 Co.'S dry goods store. Mr. B. is a fine appearing
 young man and will, no doubt, be Yalua-
 ble addition both to society and to the cler- ical force of Aurora.-ANrorG (lN) Daily
 Nesos.
 l And we didn't know till we saw the
 above, that Friend Barton had left MT.
 Camps in Wlnsted. He too, it appears, is
 another Salisbury boy who has graduated /;
 who, like the recent right Bower of the
 Clark Bros.' store, has ''gone up one." We
 can assure our worthy Aurora contempora-
 ", and its many readers, that they will find
 MT. Barton 10 be indeed "valuable addi-
 ton both to society, and to the clerical
 force of Aurora"
 Disappointed--The Berkshire amour.
 ces the departure of It's editor for Florida.
 Nominally, we believe, he is in search oi
 health really, he is in search of Pease ot
 the SALISBURY NEWS. by whom he claims
 to have been dreadfully libeled few years
 slnce. The code is still in force down
 there, and we are in momentary expecta
 tion of the news that Pease has perforated l-, or vics Ue1sG. We have prepared 6
 first-class obituary which will do justice tc
 the fallen, denounce the atrocity of blood
 revenge, and refer to the similar nationa
 bereavement in the case of Alexander Ham
 ilton. It will fit either party, and we art
 name should field Enquirer. It would be ''so sweet" to know a nation
 was weeping for us, and we wandered around Florida with ''perfect looseness, "waiting, still waiting, for thee, my love ;; but when the news flashed over the wire
 that our chivalric foe had got 70 farthe south than Norfolk in Virginia, not th
 half way to Florida, and was there hope lessly stuck in the mud, our heart sanl within us, and we begged of His Honor the Judge, to shoot us, pull tooth for us or relieve our distress of mind by any simi
 lar act of charity; anything and in an,
 way, only be quick about it! but it's jus
 our luck: 'Tisn't every day an opportunit presents itself to stir up little ''nationa
 bereavement"
 l Sabbath School Lessons. s.-There the, are again those Sabbath school lesson 3 which have been missed for two or thre 3 weeks from the columns of THE NEWS, an , we know by the general and urgent re 3 sponse to our request to make manifest th s desire of our readers in relation to thei g continuance, that they will be gladly we g comed. Shall we tell you, who are 8 t much interested ln them. who is their at f thor? It seems as if you ought to kno1 8 who is doing so much to make plain to yo e the precious truths of the Gospel, and " e almost dare tell, but if we venture to talk a his name in vain, 1t may bring down upo
 us shower of disapprobation we ma # richly deserve, and may enable us to full I, realize it is indeed "more blessed to giy than to receive" Anyway, we shall n' only tell you here, but hereafter shall ad
 his name to the caption to the lessons as u !. author, until the Rev. Mason Noble Jr. Sheffield peremptorily commands us to d ;, sist.
 LATER.-After the above was nearly 'S in type, we observe that the writer of u lg lessons has finally given his consent to u at his name as we desire. He alludes to it D. his comments in one of the first paragrap
 which precede the lesson.
 as Rough on Ministers.-Why is it th IL, when @ couple is married in this town, | y officiating clergyman does not hand D II tice of the marriage in for publication
 Some of our ministers do hand in marin
 notices, but quite a majority of them no not. We suppose that those ministers " on do not, either do the job for nothing, r else haven't enterprise enough to write h. marriage notice and hand it in for public el" tion. Bright ministers, you are: Marry ,o- couple, for which you receive the cash v hs ue of the job, and then fold your hands a
 expect the editor of your town paper me hunt it up and publish free of charge. ' 7as will cheerfully give room to all marris aa. notices handed in, but we do earnestly h quest the clergy to furnish us with 'ns copy. Our advice to young folks who e leo Template matrimony is to have the ceren ler ny performed by minister who lives lar this age and generation. - BroWnsu ro- (Penn.) Clipper.
 m, Decidedly undigni6ed in his manner 6 rh, language of addressing the clergy of e.t town, is our brother of the quill in Per inc sylvania:
 ,s,a Haven't enterprise enough to writ '" 70" marriage notice and hand it in for publi, 'he tion: Bright ministers, you are, etc. ow Ye gods! who ever heard the cel the talked fo in that mannerl and that tt rds submissively submit to such rude thr, no suggests the perhaps unseemly query N' Wonder what kind of material Pennsyl ler mia ministers are made of!
 and While we heartily condemn the unco red language employed by our contempora
