A CHARITABLE COMMUNITY The people of
Churchville and vicinity deserve word of
praise for Il recent exhibition of their proverba
kindness to the poor. About month ago
hood, went to Baltimore and met his wife and
four children, who had just come over the sea
from Germany. He brought his family to
Churchville and placed them in house on Mr.
Abram Shertzers place Soon afterwards
| the entire family were taken sick with measles
They were without food and would have starved
but for the charity of the neighbors. Dr. Thos.
III. Roberts gave them medical aid, collections
were taken up for them IN the Presbyterian and
Episcopal churches and kind hearted ladies and
gentlemen visited them every day and provid-
ed for their wants. The oldest child, daugh-
ter 9years ofage, died last week, but tine remain
ing members of the family are now recovering
FIRE IN A HARVEST FIELD.-On Monday
wagon and its oadofhay were burned up in Mr..
James Glass's field near Hartford Furnace The
wagon had just been driven up to the stack aud
the men were preparing to unload it when Il fire
| started in the dry stubble, near the wagon, set
| ting fire to the load
The tongue horses were hastily removed and
horse from another team hitched in front with
| the leaders and the burning wagon was drawn
| away from the stack. By arduous eXertions the
| stack was saved. The fire is believed to have
| been caused from the ignition of parlor match
| by the feet Of the horses. 1t seems that Il few
days before, during shower, some of the men
took shelter under load of hay at the same
spot and smoked their pipes. 1t is thought that
match was accidentally dropped at that time,
as one partly burned was found where the
fire started The moral is obvious-Don't car
ry matches into the harvest field
