The village schools closed on Fri

the Town Hall, consisting of essays
and music. The rendering of "Snow"
by the little ones is worthy of especial

Everybody's little friend Charlie,
son Of DIR. Idle, met with very seri-
Gus accident on Saturday last lie
was at Straw's machine shops, and,
wishing to cut a cord in two, held the
same extended in front of saw, re-
volving with great rapidity, the teeth
caught the cord, but, instead of cut
ting it, suddenly drew his hands to-
gether in the wake of the teeth, smpu-
tating the thumb on his right hand
between the nail and joint, and split
ting the fore finger on the other hand
half its length. His hand was imme-
diately dressed by Drs. Ide and Grout,
who found his sufferings great. Much
sympathy is expressed for him.
On Wednesday last, about the hour
of noon, the unwelcome sound of the
fire alarms, started our people from
their quietness, and it was quickly an
nounced that Smiths sash and blind
factory at Moscow, a distance of 1-2
miles, was on fire and likely to extend
to other buildings near. The factory
filled with machinery, tools, kiln dried
lumber, piles Of shavings saturated
with pitch, and much stock nearly
ready for market, stood in the midst
Of other buildings, and scarcely 20 feet
from the saw-mill and starch factory.
The roads were fearfully rough, but
every means of conveyance was
brought into requisition, and it was not
long before help, pals and fire extin.
Iguishers were there in abundance. No

in which the fire originated but to con-
fine it there and keep it from spreading.
This, after earnest efforts, many mar
row escapes and few accidents, was
accomplished, and what remained of
the building was allowed to cremate
while the weary men, some Of them
drenched by the falling water and
blacbened by the smoke, sought neces-
sary rest. Mr.. Smiths loss is about
$4,000 as near as it can be approXima-
ted with no insurance. lie has one Of
the finest water privileges in the state
and may rebuild again, but is not
decided. We are specially requested
to return the heartfelt thanks of not
only Mr.. Smith, but also of those liv-
ing near, for the prompt and earnest
assistance thus rendered them i'll the
hour Of their peril.
