Miraculous Escape.

A little seven-year old girl namsd
Bertha Chance, residing with her par
ents at No. 705 Madison street, made a
very narrow escape from what might
have been a horrible death yesterday
afternoon. The little one was left alone
for few moments in q second-story
room in which there was small stove,
and it ia supposed she lighted a pisce
of paper which communicated to her
dress. A little playmate was just en-
tering the door a5 Bertha ran out on
the landing at the head Of the stairs
her clothing all ablaze. The frighted
little one shrieked for Bsrtba's mothe er,
who came to the rescue and succeeded
in extinguishing the flames by wrap
ping the child up in piecs Of carpet,
Upon an examination it was found that
every article Of Bertha's clothing, ex-
cept flannel uudershirt, had been
turned to crisp, aud yet str .ngs to
say the child's person was not in the
least injured Her escape was indeed
miraculous.

tives and friends who met to celebrate the
anniversary of the birth of one of our re-
spected grandmothers-Mrs. Abigail Hol-
comb, relict of the late Caleb Holcomb who

er Holcomb was a native Of Tolland, Conn.,,
where she was born August 29th, 1876,
migrating with her father Cornelius Nor
ris, Sem, to Windsor, o., A. D. 1912. At
the age Of II she was married to Cabel
Holcomb, who with his family moved TO
Hartsgrove in 1884, enduring many hard
ships-the township then being nearly an
unbroken fOrest-but success was the fruit
of their industry, and they were prospered.
She now lives about one half mile south
Of the Center, on the farm where she lived
with her husband, about 80 years, with her
son-Edson G.. Holcomb-who with his
wife are always mindful of the comforts
and pleasures of their mother, and caused
to assemble at their home relatives num-
herring 40 to celebrate her SD birthday,

We assumed that you were posted as to
the time Thorp became a granger, from
your confidence as to the reason Of his join
ing. The fact is, the granger career Of our
Representatives. we are correctly in
fOrmed-Is longer than his legislative ca
reer, and in the personal canvass before the
election he made no effort to use his con-
nection with the order to advance his per-
sonal interests. Mr.. Spencer of tie Times
says in addition, that he has made none
this time, why then ought grangers to Op-
pose him.
This reasoning OF our correspondent is put
forth upon rather fiimsy premises, and 1t
needs corrobOrative testimony. 1t matters
not what the relative durations OF Mr..
Thorp's granger and legislative careers are,
as to the availability of turning the one 70
the furtherance of the other, That he did
not so use his connection in the nrst IN
stance rests upon our correspondent being
rightly informed" That of course does not
amount to much. How should we know,
but for an accident, that the first othcer OF
the county-Mr. Talcott-stimulated by that
letter of Brother Hunts. was endeavoring to
use the organization to the young man
interest? We know the young man" TO be
twistical. What assurance then have we
that he himself was not privy to the whole
thing? With due respect for our correspond
ent, we would say, that we are willing to let
these matters rest for the present.-ED.

DR.. Fricker Just then noticed that there
were one or two eolered men in the room,
and he proceeded to grease them over,
preparatory to swallowing them. BE did
it very nicely; we never heard a sleeker
speech. he stated that he was "glad to
see the eolored men present; in fact the
Democratic party were their only true
friends" &c. We can assure the Doctor
his fowery language was thrown away.
The eolored men present were formerly
slaves, and they know too much OF the true
inWardness Of the party in past times to be
easily flsttered, by men who few years
ago were moved to nausea by the sight OF
a colored man. The language used by the
Doctor was strangely at variance with the
choice epithets bestowed upon the cOlOred
man less than ten years ago.
