ton, has so far recovered as to be able to re-

- About eleven o'clock on Monday
evening fire was discovered in the new
building just erected by Mr.. Kezer of
Rochester for storing last blocks, down
among the lumber sheds at the south end of
this village. There had been but few
blocks stored in the building as yet, but
what there We're, together with the building,
We're soon burned. From this building the
fire went to the shed of DIR. Brigham of
Pittsfield and to that of Mr.. Cotton of the
same place, both of which, with their con-
tents, We're burned. South of here was a
large pile of hemlock bark containing one
hundred cords and belonging to f. V. Has
sam * Co., of Gaysville, which was also
burned, all of which made an estimated loss
of from $1,000 to $4,000 upon which, we are
informed, there was no insurance except
upon the bark of Hassam & Co. We are
told that DR.. Brigham puts his loss at 81 900
or over. This was the first time that our
utW SYSTEM III water NOIkS nave DttH uStl,
and though there was no head to manage
them and everybody seemed to work upon
his or her own account, and the fact that
Mr.. Gilson's pump had to force the water
! for nearly or quite one-half mile through
| pipe and hose varying from two to four
| inches in size and up steep embankment,
they worked most elegantly. Had it not
been for this and the persistent efforts of the
! people, there must have been an extensive
contlagration, for just north of the building
in which the fire took and at a distance of
not more than six or eight feet from it was a
pile of seasoned lumber and north of this
! for many rods were sheds and barns filed
| with seasoned lumber. There are several
theories in regard to the cause of the fire.
- We are glad to learn that we were
misinformed as to the illness of Mrs. Jerry
| Morse last week, and that instead of her
being hOpelessly insane, as we then said,
| her illness is such as to give every hope that
she will be restored to her usual health in
due time.

You can't afford to laugh. dear girls
Unless your teeth are white as pearls
Unless your mouth is pink aud sweet,
And your two lips in rosebuds meet;
And you cannot supply this want
But through the use of SOZODONTl

when it discloses pretty set of teeth.

element of loneliness, may be retained
through life by using the fragrant 5000
