"A twO-stOry frame house, with log
house in rear, on the farm belonging to
James Quinn, of HillsborO, situated
about mile from town, on the Colum-
bus pike, was burned, together with
nearly all its contents, on New Years
Eve. The house was occupied by Mr..
Jas. Cluff, who with his wife, was in
bed asleep when the fire broke out, and
were the only persons in the house at
the time. They did not discover that
the house was on fire until too late to
make any efforts to save it or remove
their furniture. The young people of
the household were over at the Intirm-
ary, spending the evening with the
family of Superintendent Stinson. On
leaving home Mr.. Cuffs daughters had
left coal oil lamp burning in their bed
room, which is supposed to have ex-
ploded and caused the fire. There was
$500 insurance on the buildings, which
will not cover the loss by cOnsidera-
BILE amount. The Furniture was not
insured. The fire occurred about eleY-
en- o'clock at night.

Firenen's Fair.

The Firemen's Fair wound up on
Tuesday evening. 1t was very well
patrOnized throughout, and realized a

the handsome nickel-plated range cook
ing stove.
Miss Belle Latham drew the decorat-
ed dinner and tea set.
Jas. McCourt drew a fine Lounge and
Domestic Sewing Machine.
Davis Hays drew the fine set of sim
gle harness.
Wm. Goldsberry and Miss Bertha
Dews each drew a marble-top center
table.
Adam Sommers drew the large wax
doll, and also fine Celluloid toilet set
G. Ward drew a fine Celluloid toilet
set.
Many other handsome articles were
disposed of, but the above are the lead

The temperance Work az staunton.

The Temperance Work at StauntOn.
The w. G. r. y. OF this place Is look
ing forward hopefully to a year ofsuc-
cessful work. The growing interest in
the cause was manifested on Sabbath
evening, Jan. 2d, bya full house, and
good attention. Tile services were
opened by a prayer from Rev. T. G.
Wakefield, which made US all feel that
he was thoroughly in earnest on the
subject of Temperance, and that every
christian manand womOn ought to be.
Mr.. Thomas Marchant then gave us an
eloquent address on the subject of Lo-
cal Option. His words, well chosen,
were delivered with an energy that
carried conviction with it, and tile
large audience--most of whom had
signed the Local Option bills-were
convinced that the law, should it be
passed, would do us but little good un-
less enforced by public opinion, and
that to secure this should be the chief
object of temperance workers. Mrs.
Woedbridge's appeal for the Hayes
Memorial was read, and Rev. II. G.
Wakefield then made an earnest appeal
to the people of the place, after which
collection was taken amounting to
over 81, which, with one dollar from
the children Of the primary school,
will secure us an interest in the me-
mortal fund, and we hope sometime to
see the strong. true face Of Mrs. Hayes
looking down from our schoOlroom
walls.
As noble examples excite us to noble
deeds, may the girls Of our town, as
they look at this pure wOman's face
be excited to higher aims and no
bier purposes in life, and may the boys
learn from it to give to true woman
hood that homer the very giving of
which will make their own lives bright
er and better.

Mr.. d. Persinger and daughter,
Miss Tude, were upset and thrown
from their buggy by running of the
end of culvert, on their way to the
residence of Mr.. j. w. Sellers, on Mon,
day night last. 1t was at first thought
that neither Of them was seriously hurt
but word received from Mr.. Persinger's
residence last night was to the effect
that Miss Tude was suffering from in.
ternal injuries Of very serious char
acter, and her condition was considered
very critical. This will be painful in.
telllgence to her many friends.

The HERALE Job Office is crowded
with orders for work, but with three
fast power presses, and an unlimited sup
ply of latest styles of type and ma

wOrkmen, we are enabled to turn out a
large amount of printing and fill Or
ders promptly, in good style, and at
lower rates than can be had elsewhere
outside of the large cities, The fact
is pretty well understood that the
HERALD is the only office in the County
that is prepared to execute all descrip-
tiOns of printing in good style and at
low rates. We are never compelled,
for lack of facilities to send any work
for which we may receive orders away
from home to have it executed.
The Fayette County Herald of De-
cember % copies half column article
from this paper, "Death of Mrs.
Brown" and gives credit to the Ga
zette. 1t was an oversight, of course,
but we protest most emphatically
against such blunders.-Hillsboro
Herald.
We beg our namesake's pardon. We
are usually very careful in such mat
ters, but things will get mixed some
times. The Herald is live, newsy pa
per, from which we have had frequent
occasion to clip, and we desireto give
it proper credit. We hope this will
make matters square with Bro, Brid-
well. And lest the Gagette should feel
called upon to bounce us for holding
that excellent paper responsible for the
article clipped from the Herald, we will
take occasion to apologize to the Ga
zette also.
