House and Barn Destroyed by Fire.

Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock,
the house and barn of Sylvanus F.. Avery,
about three miles north of the city, and
on or near the Bog road were completely
destroyed by fire. Most of the furniture,
five or six tons of hay. and all the other con-
tents of the two buildings were consumed.
The entire value of the property destroyed
would be about $1,000, but there is an insur-
ance upon it of some $500 in ALL
Mrs. Avery had been hard at work about
her household duties, and becoming exhaust
ed, had laid down. leaving a hot fire in the
stove. Not long afterwards she was reused
from her sound slumbers by man rushing
into the room and shouting that the house
was on fire. They endeavored to save some
of the furniture but were soon driven from
the buildings by the flames. The fire then
extended to the barn, and this also was soon
laid low. The fire caught in the chamber,
and was occasioned in some way by the over
heated stove. The stable was a nice one,
having just been completed.
Mrs. Avery is not we'll, and when tired out
is subject to deep sleep; and had the one who
reused her not happened along as he did the
flames might have got dangerously near be-
fore she was aware of it.

The Juvenile Pinaforc troupe drew one Of
the largest and finest audiences, last evening,
that has assembled at an entertainment in
Granite Hall for long time. Early in the
week reserved seats began to go of fast. and
when yesterday afternoon came upwards of
six hundred had been sold. At the opening
of the ticket Office last night there was prob
ably crowd of two hundred waiting to pur
chase cards of admission. Had there been
thousand desirable reserved seats we pre-
sumo they all would have been taken. The
familiar play of Pinafore was delightfully."-
rendered by the young troupe. Everybody
was surprised and fascinated at the wonder
full acting and singing of the six-years old
Little Buttercup." The other little ones of
the company also did finely.
Mr.. Milliken is getting the Augusta House
into first-class shape for the winters bust
ness. The principal improvement will be
the putting in Of apparatus for heating the
building with steam. Heretofore the halls,
parlors, dining room, ETC., have been heated
by furnaces, but these have all been removed
and in their place has been put new thirty
horse power boiler for warming the house.
The boiler is fine one, manufactured by E.
Hedge Co. of East Boston. There was of
necessity some danger before of the building
catching fire from the old furnaces, but now
there is none at all. Besides the radiators.
it will take about Ave thousand feet Of piping
to complete the job. Mr.. Milliken says that
he contracted for the apparatus the first of
July, but that if he had delayed till now
before purchasing it would have cost him
81 900 more. just because of the rise in iron.
Those who patronize the Augusta House will
not now have chance to complain of cold
as the boiler is warranted to furnish 100 of
heat in the scverest weather. 1t will take
one-half the amount Of coal to heat the build
ing now that it did before. Mr.. Milliken has
also made commendable improvement in
the quarters assigned to the help employed
about the hotel.
