James r. Nelson, who lives in the

with all his hay, grain, six cows and a

were only the three young children at

Great credit is due the boy, twelve
years old, who with great effort sue

He also saved two wagons. The fire

An Unpleasant Experience and
Narrow Escape.

Last Wednesday night, about 10
o'clock, David Silsby of this place was
from Barnet, and when as
cending the hill below VIM. Peck's his
horse became frightened and the first
Mr.. Silsby knew that all was not right,
the horse commenced backing, and
backed the wagon off the bank, tipped
il over and threw Mr.. Silsby out, while
horse and wagon went rolling down
the hill eighty or one hundred feet be-
low. Mr.. Silsby got up and found that
he was not hurt and commenced search
for his team, which he found at the
foot of the hill, the wagon badly
smashed, and upon the side with the
horse still in the thills. 1t being a
very dark night it was no easy task to
unharness and get the horse up, but
after Il time Mr.. Silsby succeeded in
doing so, and led him down the meadow
to the foot of the hill where there were
bars which let him into the highway
again. When he had got up the hill
nearly to the place where the accident
happened a man passed him, and Mr..
Silsby thinks perhaps that it was a
tramp who was either in or on the
side of the road that frightened his
horse, as the only time the animal was
ever frightened since he owned it was
by tramp lying beside the road. Mr.
Silsbv does not feel that he can ego
back" on his horse much, if that was
the case, as he was much more fright
ened when he met the man than at all
else that had occurred.

The Union sohool-house was burned
on Friday morning. The fire was dis.
covered little before two o'clock, be
ing first seen on the roof about the
north chimney. The cause of the fire
is for speculation to determine, but the
generally -accepted theory is that it was
chimney which contained the accumu-
latiOns of years. An interesting fact
in this connection is that wood fire
was built in the furnace which has the
north chimney for an outlet on Thurs
day for the first time this season. The
teachers smelled, as they thought,
something wrong, during the day, and
sent to see if all was right in the fur
mace. Nothing unusual was discOv-
cred, however, and when the janitOr
left the building nothing but a few
SmOuldering embers remained of the
fire. The roof had been tarred a few
weeks before, so that when the fire
reached it the flames spread with great
rapidity. When the fire department
arrived on the scene they were unable,
by reason of want of pressure of wa
| ter, to throw a stream of water on the
roof, and the roof soon fell in. Nearly
all of the school books were destroyed,
few, however, being saved, scorched
in such manner that they will be re-
minders of the fiery furnace through
which they passed. The records of
the school were destroyed, as also was
the piano which had been put in the
building but few days before. 1t was
owned by w. X. Mems, upon whom
the loss will undoubtedly fall.
The walls, built of three layers OF
brick on the first floor and of two lay
ers above the first floor, remain stand,
ing, and while very much damaged il
places, especially on the upper portion
the walls are sufficiently strong anC
uninjured to be used in rebuilding. Ii
the event of rebuilding, which will
probably be the plan which the distric
will decide upon, it is quite probable
that some other plan of heating thai
by furnaces will he adopted, either b!
steam or hOt-air. This would certainl,
be a great improvement, as a NOR
equable temperature could thus be Sc
cured. The insurance was 81 800 ant
the loss above the insurance will prob
ably reach nearly $4,000. The build
ing was erected in 1863, the wood worl
being done by Orson Welch, and tn
brick work by E. & T. Fairbanks 1
, Co., who also gave the site.
