 A barrel of ashes in one of Riley Peets out-buildings, caused almost a con1agration one day last week. A hole was burned through the floor and the fire and ashes scattered in the room be- low the fire soon communicated with roof, but 1t was discovered by daugh- house, and was by her put out, thus stopping what might have been a se- rious fire, as several buildings stand near together.
 The angel of death visited our village last Monday, Oct. 23d, and took from among us our wealthiest, one of the most worthy and well-respected citizens, MT. Burrit Eaton. He had been sick all these beautiful autumn days, suf- fering untold agonies, and bearing it all
  week ago hopes were entertained of his recovery, and everyone rejoiced, and none more so than his loving and faith ful wife, to whom he was devotedly at tached. But sunshine did not remain long in that beautiful home, for on Mon day he received 8 shock, causing almost instantaneous death. MT. Eaton was of 8 generous disposition, doing his duty faithfully in every relation of his life and expected others to do likewise. He was consistent in ivinga pure, earnest, unselfish life, and Kent is poorer by the death of such man and the old and young mourn their loss ''as one mourneth for brother" Mr. Eaton retired from active life as age advanced, several years ago, and has since enjoyed the life he richly earned. His views of the future life were bright, clear and decided. At last, as he was about to enter upon his seventy first birthday the summons came, and he calmly closed his eyes on those who loved him so well here, to meet his little daughter who had gone before, and where rest, joy and love are perfect.

 H. B. Sanford and wife have return ed from their wedding trip. We see that the West Cornwall correspondent claims Henry for resident of that place, but we shall object he has for long time been head clerk of the postofice, and chief engineer of the soda fountain at our village store, and many @ young lady sighs when she thinks of the hand some clerk who never used to refuse to lick postage stamp, and who, as he stood with his hand on the throttle valve of the soda fountain repeated the mystic words 't1emon, vanilla, straw berry," &c. That his voyage across the troubled sea of matrimony may be 8 prosperous one, that the little squalls may not upset his boat, and that when he lands on the other side he may have ! a boat load of little Hens, is the wish of | his many friends in Cornwall.
