FIRE q! FIRE g.!

Last Sunday about 1 o'clock p. IN.
the cry of fire was heard on our
streets for the first time in 5 years.
The alarm was caused by the burn
ing of the dwelling house on Kennifc
street owned by J. +. Holden and
occupied by w. n. McKenna and
family. The fire originated in the
kitchen in the rear of the upright
part of the building and was past
control when noticed. Mrs. Nc
Kenna hearing a noise in the kitchen
opened the door leading thereto and
discovered that it was all enveloped
in flames. She then ran to the bed
room and informed Mr.. McKenna
who was lying on the bed. Mr.. Nc
Kenna hurried out into the sitting
room and tried to shut the kitchen
door but could not on account of
the flames bursting in on him sing
ing his hair and otherwise burning
his face. Mr.. a. J. Holmes who
was the first to notice the fire outside
the family rushed to the assistance
but he saw in a moment that the
building could not be saved. About
this time quite nunsber had gather
ed and every effort was put forth to
get out what household goods they
could. The building being dry it
burned very rapidly only period
of about twenty minutes having
elapsed from the time the fire was
first noticed and the frame fell. Mr..
McKenna's loss is about $500, but
very few things being saved. The
building was worth $3.50, and insur-
ed in the Continental Ins. Co. for
$500. We ask the citizens of this
place if it is not about time we had
some means of extinguishing fire in
the shape of fire engine? Should
a fire break out in the business part
of the village and the wind in the
right direction there would not be a
building left on the side of the street
it originated. Did you ever think
of this? II so, give it a little more
thought and then act upon it. We
hope to see fire engine of some
description in this place before six
months roll by.
-Psrties indebted to the rndersign-
ed are requested to call and settle
their accounts as | am in need of
money. w. N. McKENNA.

Welcome Brethren strangers, friends,
Welcome to this festive hall;
l, for this brotherhood, extend
Cordial greeting to you AL.
Since you last assembled here.
Another year has flown for aye;
Ger one you have shed the parting tear,
And others take his place to-day.
Fen now the dark angel who ever III near
Has beckoned from earth your brother away.
In the midst of your Joy there is mingled tear,
While again thou rt reminded I'm passing away.
These emblems that our loved ones wear,
Must ever be to us unknown;
Their secrets too, we cannot snare,
But them Wen trust, ill time has flown.
Your language, ah! we ''dinna ken,'
While symbols strange TO us, you use;
But when sorrow comes your then our friend,
And never aid will us refuse.
Fain would the wondering world be told
What that mystic tic can bo;
That as one grand harmonious whole
Unto men, in one family.
"Dy their fruits, We them shall know"
One more wise than we, has said.
And Charty's sweet mantle, throw
Ger thine erring brothers head.
Like adamant the order stands,
And time has made but little change;
What sure was done by Master hand,
Ere Solomon in his glory, reigned.
These jewels We viii guard with care.
Fit settings for Monarch's crown.
No one unworthy will them wear,
While time shall make his ceaseleSs round.
The Hour-glass tells how swift you go,
That like the grass, you too must die;
These gatherings, soon no more you ii know,
For the Master waits in the Lodge on high.

testing against the "unfar, untruthful and parti-
