TRUMBULL.

Eds. Tel:-A most singular and de-
structive fire occurred on the premises OF
Mr.. John Quayl in the western part OF
this township in the early part of last eve
ming; the circumstances connected with
which, seem most mysterious and unao-
cjuntable.
About six and half o'clock P. NJ, Mr..
Quayl took his team out Of large barn
near his house, and accompanied by his
wife drove out of the yard, leaving his son
to close up the barn and remain at home
alone for the night. The boy left every
thing all right at the barn and entered the
house. Five minutes afterwards he was
startled by a sharp report like that OF a
gun, and so loud that it startled and call
ed out the neighbors for halt mile around.
In seeking cause for the singular explo-
sion, the boy returned to the barn, and
found the hay loft on fire, and ten min
utes later the whole building was mass
OF flaming ruins. An adjacent grain barn
containing about three hundred bushels Of
grain, was also consumed. The contents
of the barn consisting of moving ma
chine, cutter and farming implements gen.
orally, were likewise all consumed,

Dry Size KaIsOmine and FrescO
Paint.

We have been trying some Of Johnson's
Patent Kalsomins and Fresco Paint, kept
at Topky's Hardware Store. 1t was put
on several rooms in the editorial cottage,
by our fellow townsnan, Will Poor. and
gives such perfect satisfaction and pleasure
that it is considered but simple justice to
call the attention of our housekeepers to
it, at this brushing up season of the year
For tinting walls. nothing could be more
handy to prepare simple mixture with
water-or more beautiful and permanent
in color, to brighten up aud bsautify an
apartment. 1t is new thing to be sure,
but nothing has so completely met the
want which it is intended to meet.

What connection there may be between
that singular report and the cause Of the
fire, is left for the reader to judge Tor him
self.
II was thought by some, that there may
have been some ''infernal machine"
exploded by clock work, and thus firing
the straw in the loft. But considering
the standing of Mr.. Quayl, in sthe com
munity here. il would seem almost in!pos-
sible that it could have been the work of
an incendiary. At present the whole
thing seems shrouded in mystery.
The loss sustained is not far from one
thousand dollars.
The property was insured for six hum
dred dollars in the Ohio Farmers Ins. Co,

tabula county. about forty years Of age,
died at the SiockwelI House, last SaIur-
day, in spasn. The CorOner's inquest
this evening shows that the deceased came
to his death from dose of strychnine, ad-
ministered by himself An examination
of the stomach, revealed the presence OF
the poison by the chronic acid test. The
remains were sent by the late train to Har-

the suicide, except that Brakeman was
subject to spells of mental alteration.

A Model Stable.

The new livery stable just erected by
Mr. Frank Gregory opposite of the Ashta-
bula House, and in the rear of MorrisOn's
store, is one of the neatest and most con-
venient stables we have ever seen. This
model establishment is furnished with new
carriages, double and single, pheatons and
wagons, and the horses are all fresh stock.
The harnesses, and other trappings are al
so new and tasty. Amy one needing any
thing in Mr.. Gregorys line, for pleasure
riding, weddings, parties, picnies, etc..
will find the most stylish conveyances in

Household EconOmy,

The housekeeper or cook who studies
economy in the kitchen, can do so in one
direction by always using Doolsy's Yeast
Powder. 1t will be found a truly econom-
ical and valuable assistant in baking bis
cults, rolls, bread, cake Of all kinds, waf-
hes, mullins, and most all articles prepar-
ed from flour; and why? Because, in
using the DOOlsy Powder, you save in
eggs, in shortening, in patience, in every
thing; and when the baking is done, it is
turned out light, palatable and whole

SAYBROOK.

Eds TeI:-Eight persons joined the
Congregational church last Sunday, and it
is expected that others will at some future
time.
Last Saturday afternoon as D. B..
Simms, of this town, was driving his
horse in the rear of CaswePs mill in &C.
neYa, it took fright at the kissing of the
steam from the escape valve, and made
some plunges to the left, at a quarter
face, and the nigh fore-wheel struck the
post of coal bin, the horse, wagon, and
driver, parted company, the wheel, shafts
and reach, being badly smashed up and
the driver was thrown some ten feet, strlk-
ing on his right shoulder, and was stunned
for few moments, so that he could not
help himself, but on careful examination
found that no bones were broken, and was
able to get home in tolerable condition,
all things considered.
The horse was secured, uninjured, as
well as the harness.
Prof. c. G. Case, will hold q musical
convention, at the NJ. E. church IN Say
brook, commencing on Monday evening
April 10Th, and closing the following fri
day night, with concert. Persons living
in adjoining towns desiring to attend the
convention, will be entertained by the pso-
pie of Saybrook. Prof. Case, has been IN
Saybrook twice before, and his old friends
haye another opportunity of receiving the
benefit of his instruction. The singers
from other towns, need have no fears as to
the ability or the willingness OF little Say
brook to provide handsomely for all who
may choose to come. We understand that
one dollar, such as the fathers, or their
sons may have, is the price OF tuition
