Fire ETtingui8her.--Last Friday al
ternoon Messrs. Mcfarland & Rogers
agent for hand extinguisher gave a
public exhibition on Deadrick's hill
by which they demonstrated the ex-
cellence of the little instrument which
they are introducing. They advertis-
ed to put out fire of light kindling
wood saturated with coal tar and coal
oil in six seconds. The experiment
was complete success. We under
stand that the town authorities have
purchased a number for the use Of the
town in case of fire. Jonesbore is sad
ly in need Of some protection against
fire and we suggest that the corpora
ton purchase an outfit OF buckets and
ladders. But without some organiza-
ton to use the apparatus in a syste-
matte and effective manner the above
articles will be of little use in time Of
fire. Organize fire company.-Her

during the soldiers reunion, and was Ma
vored with lemon and vanilla. During the
evening a number of parties partook OF the
cream. those who took the lemon not being
affected at all, while those who took vanilla
were. within a short time. taken with
deathly sickness, being seized with terrible
gripping pain and violent purging. Many
were at first unaware of the cause OF their
illness, and the doctors were rapidly called
from house To house to relieve the sufferers
DIR. Mof1itt had, himself. taken dose of the
cream and was as sick as anybody, but, not
withstanding this, did all in his power to
alleviate the sufferings of others. Eighteen
persons were thus afflicted, some of them
being very near deaths door. 1t is not
known what caused the poisoning, but it is
supposed to have been the extract of vanilla.
jennings of Grand Rapids, the manufacturer
of the extract was in town last Saturday to
investigate the matter. Samples will be
sent to Lansing for analysis.
