Almost II Fire.

As we were in the act of carrying our
paper to press on Thursday eveRing of last
week alarm Of fire was suddenly given, and
the whole town WAS at once alive, each one
ready to render all the assistance possible in
such case. 1t was soon found that the school
house WAS on fire on the inside, and Immedi-
atey dozen helping hands were on the spot
ready to battle with the flames The FIRE for
tusately was discovered before it had made
much progress and was soon conquered. The
fire orr ginat. between the rafIerS and the roof
Of the building where the stove-pips, which
runs directly from the centre of the building to
the chimney above, had slipped from its posi-
ton, and some Of the sparks from the fire had
escaped The supports which hold the CHM
nsy took fire. and they were all that burnt,
though before the fire could be put out, they
had burnt through, and the chimney which
they supported having nothing TO rest upon,
fell on the inside of the building with a crash,
and broke the stove which was directly under
it, to pieces Mr. Hancock has been endcav
oriug to procure a room in which 10 teach

As this is the cunning season, when many
farmers are annoyed by hunters: the following
extract FROM the charge Of judge in one OF
our Eastern Shore counties, will give a view OF
the law OIL the subject: No man has right
to go upon the premises Of another, whether
for cunning or other purposes, without the
consent o. the owner, and every person so do
ing is n trespasser. Although il is customary
for perso IS to enter upon the 81 ounds of others
for the pur lose of fishing, nuttins and cunning
yet they have no right to do it without the con
sent of the owner. Being trrspasser he must
get off the premises, if directed, and must not
stand upon his going lie must move off as fast
as be can, but he need not run. II he refuses to
GO the owner may use 20 much force as is neces-
aary to put him of even if it results in the
death of the fender but you dare not nse
more force than is absolutely necessary. 1t
woull we vel for trespassers to bear this in
mind.
