No clear idea of the extent of the damage

sibly not be needed and the fire may now be
under control.

The Boston Post recently invented the
statement that at the prohibiiioni-t con
ference at Portland. in jane, Joshua Nye
vouched for Capt. Bouiele by declaring
that he bad not drank intoxicating liquors
for two years" This report in the Post
was entirely mischicvoVs. as the writer
and all others who know anything OF
Capt. Bontelle are aware that while he
has never made any parade of it. he has
in fact been for nearly twenty years one
ofthe most rigid personal abstainers from
the use Of any sort of liquors. wines or in.
toxicants Of any description. The at
tempt of the Post to cast slur upon him
in that regard is one of the most inexcusa-
BILE and petty demonstrations of political
malice.

An alarm of fire was sounded at Q - u. NJ
and what is called the ''block of mills" was
found to be in flames. BY the untiring efforts
of the fire department. the sheds on the mill
brow were saved, thereby saving the whole OF
Main street, but the fire swept rapidly down
through the mills setting on fire the shops
which were just below ard after they caught
it spread from one to another with frighttul
rspidity. and in less than thirty minutes tn,
river bank, more than quarter of a mile,
was one sheet of flame.
The losses are roughly estimated as fol
lowss y. Totman & Sons sawmill, A. H.
& c. +. Durens sawmill, s. A. Nye's saw
mill. Each of these mills were double mill,
fully equipped and were worth $4,000 each
