Origin OF the Forest Fire-Further Details.
GRAFTON POND, VI, May 21.-The disas-

mated by burning brush, about noon. The
wind blowing a gale, the flames swept
everything before them, destroyed the
houses, and nearly all the personal property
of twenty families living in tenements; men,
women and children taking refuge in
boats and on rats. The fire passed along
the line of the railroad, three miles to Pea.
body station. The entire terriotry on both
sides OF the track for six miles was perfect
waste. Timber, buildings and everything
were burned the track destroyed and trains
delayed twelve hours. A gang of men
saving wood for the railroad and
living in cars at the station barely escaped
with their lives. 1t is not known whether
any persisted in the woods or not. Several
narrow escapes are reported. The proprie-
,or of the mills was forced to take refuge in
4 creek running under the railroad and
keep immersed for some time.

mems, declared he saw the ghost of his
father, the late Thomas p, and that the
ghost informed him that his father had
been murdered by James @. Colone
Hamlet has been atiianced for some time
to Miss Ophelia Polonius, daughter Of
Judge Polonius, of the Supreme Court
of Denmark.
Colonel Hamlet imagined he had
heard a mouse behind a screen, and,
seizing carving knife from the dinner.
table, plunged it into the screen, behind
which Judge Polonius was concealed to
keep Colonel Hamlet from mischief
Judge Polonius was killed by the knife.
An evening or so afterward, at some
private theatricals, Colonel Hamlet be-
haved so rudely that his mother, uncle
and Miss 0phelia Polonius were COM
PEELED to leave the room. Colonel Ham,
let's conduct so preyed upon Miss Ophe-
liza that she drowned herself. At her
burial Colonel Hamlet jumped into the
grave, and her brother following him, a
most unseemly fight took place, result.
ing in the two drawing knives and stab.
bing each other, and, just before drop
ping, Colonel Hamlet stabbing his uncle,
James Q. Hamlet.
