Fire.

There was an alarm of fire Wednes-
day morning at ten minutes before two
rung in from box fifty-two on the cor
ner of the Avenue house. The firemen
turned ont quickly considering the
hour, when the fire was found to he in
Michael Burke's house near the rail
road crossing, half a mile south of the
Plain. The fire soon communicated
with the house of Thomas GOrnio,
near by, and both were consumed. A
portion of the contents were saved.
Burke was insured for $500 on build
ing and contents, and GOrniO $3.50 on
building. The houses were small and
the loss not heavy above insurance. 1t
is thought the fire may have caught
from sparks from the locomotive of a
few minutes after midnight. When
Flagman Stuart went to bed at quar-
ter past twelve everything appeared to
be all right. GOrniO's house stood We
ry near the covered highway bridge
over Sleeper's river and it was only by
the persistent efforts of IA dozen willing
men with water brought from the river
in pals that the bridge was saved.
The hose companies were out with
their hose, but as there was no hydrant
within quarter of mile of the fire
the hose was not used. The hand en-
CINE did not appear ut all, but a man
with hand force-pump about the size
of Il pea-shooter not only showed his
disposition but did effective service.
The hooks and ladders were there and
some of the ladders were used to get
on the roof of the bridge. If it had
not been for the few men who stuck by
the bridge, that, too, would have been
burned, involving great Inconvenience

Fatal Accident.

Edmund l.. Underwood, employed
accident on Tuesday forenoon. He
was engaged in lowering n ear on the
truck, by means of Il jack, and was
standing at one end of the car. The
casting caught on the edge of the sock
ct, and, having pushed the lever down
when the casting caught, he bent over
the trouble, being in such n position
that his head came above the lever.
Another workman moved the car to
one side with a bar, and when the
casting dropped into the socket, the
car dropped on the jack, throwing the
lever up with great force, the lever
ear. f. w. Harrington, who was at
work near him, heard the blow, and
caught him as he fell, limp and notion
less. AS the lever struck him, he
gasped, sob, MY These were the
only words he uttered. He breathcd
for about ten or fifteen minutes, when
life became extinct.
Mr.. Underwood was man sixty
three years of age, and leaves n wife
in somewhat feeble health and three
daughters, two of whom are married.
He was an upright man and consist
ent and valued member of the MethO-
dist church in this place. His sudden
death is not only great shock to his
family, but loss to the church and
town.
The jack has proved a dangerous in
strument to use. Only last Friday the
lever was disengaged and thrown up
in similar manner, and struck man
on the arm and head, and about four
weeks ago another workman was
struck on the side of the head. The
workmen now realize that it is a dan
gerous thing to handle, and believe
that this case should be "three times
and out" They will hereafter be very
cautious in its use, and take the jack
from under the ears before they pry
the casting into the socket.

An Absurd RuInOr.

Some absurd reports were put in
circulation on Monday to the effect
that the Passumpsic Savings bank had
closed. The truth is, all such reports
and fears are utterly grOundless. The
largest amount of Barlow's paper now
or ever held by this bank is $4,000,
which is well secured. In no event
would this be total loss. But were
such the fact, the surplus and undi-
vided profits of the bank would be
Sutnclent to make good the loss. De-
pOsitOrs who withdraw their deposits
ut this time would lose more in the loss
of their dividends than their proper
ton of any possible loss by reason of
the Barlow paper. The bank is ready
to pay depositors the full amount of
their deposits at any time.

from many prominent citizens, gave an
entertainment in Music hall on Mon
day evening, reciting two original
poems, under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian association. The first
poem was entitled "The Siege of Cal
ais" occupying about three-quarters
of an hour in delivery. Calais is a
small seaport town in France on the
straits of Dover. 1t was taken after a
long siege in l3i7 by Edward III. of
England, and was held by the English
until 1858, when it was taken by the
Spanish Duke of Guise. The poem
was written in commemOratiOn of some
of the incidents connected with the
siege by Edward III. 1t was quite
dramatic in character. and gave evil
dence that its author is possessed of
considerable pOetical ability. The
second poem was entitled "DeacOn
Kent in Politics." being a rhythmical
burlesque on modern politics. Deacon
Kent was plain, practical farmer,
honest in nature and purpose, who be-
came a candidate for governor of a
state. The poem tells the character of
the campaign, and of the deacOn's dis
cOmfiture by his more adroit rival. If
it was not as good poetry as the first,
the picture drawn of practical politics
was true to life. While DR.. Frisbie
makes no pretensiOns to Evolutionary
power, his delivery was marked by no
mean ability in this line, and all were
well repaid for their attendance.

persons were present. Earnest adj
dresses on the subject of temperance
were delivered by Revs. Messrs. Ferris

well attested the excellence of the
