The Lake DunmoIe house, favorite
summer resort, was destroyed by fire on

are indebted to an extra issued from the

particulars
AS the guests of the Lake Dunmore
house we're sitting down to dinner about
quarter past one o'clock an alarm of fire
was given, and in quick time the ell Part
of the house was in flames. The fire IL
supposed to have originated in the parti-
ton or roof of the kitchen. The propie-
tor, Mr.. E. P. Hitchcock, and his assist
ants made a vigorous effort to extinguish
the flames. The steam pump was put at
work and all the water possible was turned
on, but a strong wind gradually increased
the flames until the boiler of the engine
burst which spread the flames more rap

Don't Drink.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston journal gives the following salut-
ary advice:
The short run of players, riflemen,
billiard champions, and men of sporting
life generally, is a remarkable feature of
New York life. Drink is at the bottom
of this. Men who indulge in the cup
can't control their nerves, and men who
can't do this go to the wall The bad
shooting of some men, of whom so much
was expected, resulted from their cup
indulgence. One of the best marksmen
in the city said yesterday that in rife
shooting the variance of hairs breadth
made the difference at the muzzle of one
foot in one hundred yards; and a man
must have absolute command of his
nerves. A man who would win must
not steam" Dan Mace, when he was in
his prime on the ford, drank only lemon
aje. heard him say: "a single glass
of whisky effects my nerves. Men who
drink on the road would not trust their
valuable teams to me if | was not in the
driving season teetOtaler." When the
billiard congress was in session the cham
pion player said: awe can't drink and
do anything. We have to abstain totally
from all stimulating beverages while we
play. We have season of preparation
We have to be clear and keep cool, or we
fail. The reason that so many eminent
payers pass out of sight is-they will
, drink. Then the nerves grow unsteady
and the eve fails, and all is up with the
player. The drinking goes deeper and
the playing worse"
