ALMOST A BLAZE.

Last Monday, about II o'clock,
a. M, an alarm of fire was raised and
it was soon understood that it was at
the residence of II. r. Clough. The
engine was quickly gotten out but only
crossed the bridge when word was
sent that the fire had been extinguish-
ed. The origin of the fire, which
caught in the east chamber, was soon
solved and in it was good lesson
for all householders. A short time
ago Mr.. Clough, or some of his fami-
ly, had brought from his fathers late
residence an old iron kettle filed with
old bottles, some of which contained
turpentine, japan, old varnish, oil etc.
This had been set in the chamber be-
fore window and the suns rays in
passing through the window, or some
of the bottles or both, had been con-
centrated or focused so as to set fire
to some of the infiamable material in
the kettle. A hole in the bottom of
this vessel permitted the burning liq-
uid to run out, burning small hole
in the floor and setting fire to some
old clothing near by.

c. B. Hyde entered upon his du-
ties as postal clerk on the narrow
gauge last Saturday and everybody
seems pleased to see him on the route
again. 1t was universally believed
that Mr.. Hyde was removed upon
trumpet up charges and there is a
sense of justice in humanity that al
ways rebels at such work whether it is
to remove a postal clerk, postmas-
ter or any other officer. P. A. Ohm
sted, the Cleveland clerk, has gone
to his home at So. Newbury. Mr..
Olmsted was an efficient clerk and
was doubtless removed for no other
reason than to make room for Mr..
Hyde's reinstatement. 1t was more
a matter of justice to Hyde than ill
will to Olmsted.
