CHELSEA.--Miss Achsa Godfrey died at
the residence of II. w. Dearborn, Dec.
10Th, aged 81 years. Her remains were
taken to Vershire and buried in a cemetery
within forty rods of the place where she
was born.
A few items more in reference to the
late fire: it was the largest fire that has
occurred in this town since the hotel was
burnt, more than twenty years ago. 1t is
believed that the ladies were the means of
preventing much more disastrous fire bv
supplying the lack of mems help. Fires
were kindled in other places by the falling
cinders and general confagration was
most imminent. There are TWO theories
as regards the origin of the fire. One is
that it was caused by an incendiary; the
other is that it was caused by thief who
had entered the barn for the purpose of
stealing grain. The latter appears the
most probable. After the fire ample re-
freshments were served by B. E Hyde at
his hotel and by A. J. Copeland at his
store. E. d. Barnes and many others
fought the fire most desperately. He had his
coat partially burned off of him. Mr.. J.
z. Tracy's loss is estimated at about
$4,000; insured for $1,000. DR.. S. Gus.
tins loss is about $500, with small in
surance. w. j. Tarbell's stage barn was
considerably damaged. Mr.. Tracy re-
moved his family into the house with Mrs.
Taplin on Court street and received sub
stantial tokens of sympathy from the
neighbors. Immediately after the fire a
subscription was circulated and about
seventy-tive names obtained preparatory
to forming a fire district and the organ
izing an efficient hook and ladder compa-
ny. The village is sadly deficient now in
appliances for extinguishing fires.
Mrs. Ordway, wife of Martin F. Ord
way, died Dec. 18th, aged AZ years. She
had been an invalid for several years.
Her funeral was attended at the Congre-
gational church by Rev. E. E. Herrck
and her remains were buried in the new
cemetery.

Rochester, N Y. has refused another
proposition from William II. Vanderbilt,
as the basis for raising the New York
Central tracks above the city streets, be-
cause the location of the depot was not
provided for, and some of the citizens are
so inhamed against the road as to propose
that the legislature shall take away its
franchises and place it under state con-
troll.

Judge Houston, the republican candi-

the democrat declared to be elected that
he will contest his right to the seat, on the
ground that the assessment laws of the

III his report. Attorney General Devens
calls attention to the violations of the
election laws at the south. He says that
in many districts there has been great
improvement, and that in places where
there has been heretofore just cause of
complaint the elections were honestly and
peacefully conducted. In other places,
however, he reports that there were grave
frauds, that meetings assembled for the
peaceful advocacy of the merits of candi.
dates have been repeatedly broken up
entirely, or invaded by bands of armed
ruffians, and that this was done in some
instances after public avowal had been
made of the intention thus to act, and
public invitations to that effect given
while no effort was made by the local
authorities to prevent such outrages. The
attorney general urges that there should
be an investigation for the purpose o.
Furnishing the various organized offences
against the election laws--a suggestion in
accord with the recommendations of thu
president to congress.

For some time past, there have been
rumors about extensive deposits of iron
ore on the farm of Judge Adds in St.
Adams. Under the direction of Boston
parties, some two hundred tons have
already been mined, and the developments
are entirely satisfactory. 1t is supposed
that some of the owners of the Port Henry
niue, who reside in Boston, are interested
in this enterprise and they have obtained
long lease of the territory.
