AT the close of their concert, Wednesday
evening, the members Of the band We're in
vited to a supper at Bowman's restaurant
by the proprietor. The boys were bounti-
fully served with various delicacies and the
feast was greatly enjoyed. Inasmuch as
Mr.. Bowman is in no way indebted to the
band, his courtesy is greatly appreciated by
the members, and they are loud in their
praises of the way in which his establish
ment is conducted.
A FIRE broke out Friday evening in the
house on Berlin street occupied by John
Ford and owned by Patrick Slattery. 1t was
extinguished before it had gained much
headway, and little damage was done. AL
though no alarm was sounded the members
of Volunteer Hose Company, No. /, started
with their "spider" for the scene of the
fire. The danger was over by the time they
reached Berlin side, however, and their SER
vices were not required. Their promptness
in responding to so informal a call is com
mendable, and offers assurance of their
course on more urgent occasion.

Mrs. f. A. BISHOP is to spend the sum-
mer at her home in Burlington, n j, On
arriving there last week Tuesday, she was
met at the depot by her mother sister
and two children, in a two-seated carriage
| While crossing the track upon leaving the
depot, the horse became frightened and ran
Passing up one of the principal streets, the
carriage struck pile of rubbish where men
were at work repairing the pavement. One
| of the forward wheels was completely de-
molished and the occupants of the carriage
were thrown against the dashboard. The
horse continued his course and they were
carried a long distance upon three wheels
until at last the runaway, becoming eX-
hausted, was brought TO stand-still by
a policeman. The ladies and children
We're but slightly bruised but Mrs. Bishop
who has not been entirely well for several
months, suffered much from the great eX-
element. She is doing well, however, and
no more serious results are anticipated
The escape of any one of the party from
fatal injury seemed almost miraculous tC
those who witnessed the affair.
