The Free Baptist church was
burned on Sunday morning, March
26, from fire that was caused by the
furnace in some unexplained man
ner. The fire broke out about 10
o'clock and the firemen fought it till
late in the afternoon. No other
buildings were burned, though in
close proximity to it. The church
was nearly new, and the society by
great efforts had just succeeded in
paying off their debt. The church
was insured for 1900 and the loss
above insurance is $1,000. There is
talk of rebuilding. Generous sub
scriptions have been offered outside
and there is a fair prospect that it
will be rebuilt.

Our friends in Wheelock with two big
teams and several smaller ones drew to
our door on the 23d ult. in such numbers
that we surrendered at once. They took
possession of the parsonage, spread Splen-
did tables and invited us to the repast,
furnished excellent music and subjected us
to a seuere pounding. They departed with
evidences of having enjoyed our Attic
ton CD and we confess that we felt no
hardness toward them. No, we heartily
thank them, and our friends in Sheffield
for previous visit of this kind, and wish
them all the best of Heavens blessings.
