The committee whose duty it is to
provide preaching at the Congregational
church, on looking over the "ways and
means" for replenishing their slender
purse, called meeting on Monday eve
ming, and made statement of the case
to their brethren and others, from
which it appeared that about twenty
| five families within the limits of the
parish, on this side of the river, have
this year withheld their support fol
preaching. Among this number may
be found some of the wealthiest citizens
in the place. After discussion, it was
voted to instruct the committee to ex-
pend available funds, and then make
an equitable settlement with their pas
| tor.

A week ago last Sabbath, VIM. Steele
of Peacham, visited West Danville, ac-
companied by his SOD, lad some eleven
years old. When they left for home it
was noticed that the Gold man" was
somewhat intoxicated. About half an
hour afterwards Mr.. Steele was found
lying in the road by some of the neigh
bors, about mile from West Danville,
unconscious. The boy says his father
fell out of the sleigh at this point, and
he tried to get him back again but
could not, so he left him and drove on
for help. 1t was long distance to the
next neighbours, although it was but a
few rods to one that they had just
passed. But the boy could not turn
the horse around, so he had to drive on
till he found some one to assist him.
When he returned with help the neigh
bors had found Mr.. Steele and were
caring for him. He was taken back to
the hotel at West Danville and recon-
structed. Mr. Steele is a blacksmith,
an Industrious, hard working man, only
when he has these drunken sprees,
which it appears he must have about
so often to sustain life. But this one
came near ending his earthly career.
The question has been asked "Where
did he get his rum ?" Not at West
Danville, oh, no of course not Where
then d? Why, he brought it with him,
to be sure, and came clear out here to
get drunk

Fire,

Z
Between seven and eight o'clock
Monday morning, fire was discovered in
the dwelling house of widow Sanford
Thayer, opposite the Court House. The
alarm was given, and the fire depart
ment was soon on the ground. The
fire took in the ceiling, between the first
and second floors, where the stove pipe
goes through the floor. Although the
fire had made no Roadway, some thought
it impossible to put it out with pals OF
water, what fire there was being be-
tween the flooring and ceiling, and q
hose was attached to a hydrant neal
by, and the fire soon eXtiuguished and
the house flooded with water, wettine
and damaging nearly all there was il
it. 1t was at first thought that there
was defect in the stove pipe, but al
examination brings the conclusion that
the pipe was put too near the wood
work, and after many years of drying
heat, it became charred, and an extra
hot fire Monday morning ignited it
The loss is said to be fully covered by
insurance, which we trust is the case.
