cry of fire. We at once started for the fire,
which was supposed to be the house Of Geo.
Stout, but upon reaching the place, found 1t
to be two stacks of hay in full blaze. The
stacks were within forty yards of the dwelling.
Only through timely assistance were the
buildings saved.

Many of the readers of the "ADvoCATE'
will remember George Randall, who edited
the paper Just before the war, when it was
known by the name of "CdIrOH County Dem

daughter, Addie, whose sweet voice never
sounded sweeter than in the old and familiar
songs of cold Dog Tray, my Old Ken
lucky Home and "Nellie Gray" Mr.
Randall has been dead for many years, but
little Addie, is still living and gaining repu-
tation as an opera singer as can be seen from
the following extract of letter written by
Harry j. Shellman, now residing in New
York City, and which may be interesting to
the many friends of her childhood: Il
