have been destitute of all sense of right honor
and without the fear OF God before his eyes, and
instigated by the Devil or something else, stole

CALAIs.-The harvest dance which was to have
taken place on Saturday in the grove of Mr.,
Sidney IL. Foster was postponed on account Of
weather until Wednesday. Although old Boreas
took upon himself TO be demonstrative, before
evening his ardor had abated and goodly number
of friends and neighbors had assembled to find
the barn floor neatly swept and garnished and
illuminated with rehectors-where the young peo-
pie proceeded to trip the light fantastic toe, to
the music of the merry violin played with ANNA
ton and skill by the Messrs. REGARD and Leonard.
The house was beautifully Illuminated, both
within and without, with colored lanterns and
comical pumpkin faces, in the form of lanterns
which were unique and suggestive. Long may
the host and his charming wife live to greet their
numerous friends.

In RoyAIToN.- evening Marcelus

pulled out box or chest against IL, and knocked

took fire. He caught some cotton clothing hang

about fifteen minutes after, the room was all in

all its contents, was in ashes. Insured for 5000.
In NoRTHFiELp.-An alarm Of FIRE was sounded
here ut about a quarter before eleven Sunday
evening and Mrs X. w. Pages house Mt the up

The family had all retired and the two boys who
occupied the chamber over the dining room were
awakened by the smoke and cracking Of the fire.
They gave the alarm at once and by the time the
engines arrived the house had been cleared by
the neighbors. The two engines went to work at
once and did good service, but the water soon
gave out and before they could get another res
ervoir the flames were again making Roadway.
By hard work on the part of the engine com
panles, with good assistance from the hook and
ladder company, the fire was at length subdued
and at one o. clock most Of the crowd dispersed

with the roof badly damaged, but otherwise In
good condition. The rear part sheds, barn, etc
are completely destroyed. At one time the build

Pages were in great danger, the back parts Of
the two buildings being within six feet of each

fire was prevented from spreading. The loss ut
