BARNS BURNED.
LIVELY WORK TO SAVE A RESI-.
VI DENCE.

Friday afternoon, about 5 o'clock
an alarm Of fire was sounded. The
barn and stable Of Mr.. =. B. Black
well were discovered to be on FIRE.
The fire department. responded
promptly. The steam engine was
carried to the cistern at the Presby-
terrain parsonage, but the distance
was considered too great for the
hose to reach the. fire and there
was Moline laid. The Hook and
Ladder Company, assisted BY the
iremen and citizens, went to work
to save the residence of Rev. ]. ].
Hunt, which, owing to its proximity,
was in immediate danger of destruc-
ton. The servants house and barn
of Mr.. Hunt were at the time on
FIRE. A small house between was
pulled down and out of the way.
The FIRE was very hot to the. work
ers at the we'll and to these on top
of the residence and the gable end
of the residence was smoking as if
it would ignite every second. Wet
blankets we're spread on and the
''bucket brigade" poured on the
water at . rapid rate, until the
buildings on fire were consumed
and then abated their efforts. The
saving of Mr.. Hunts residence was
q creditable piece Of hard work.
The furniture, piano, bedding, ETC.,
were carried out Of the house, and
in some instances damaged.
The fire originated in Mr.. Black
wells fodder lott; how, no one
knows. Besides, his barn, stable
and corn crib, Mr.. Blackwell lost
two buggies and harness, 600 bun
dies of fodder and about so bushels
of corn.
Mr.. Hunt lost a servants house
barn and chicken horse. A good
deal Of fencing was destroyed.
A large crowd was attracted by
the big blaze.
The Hook and Ladder boys going
to the fire broke spring to their
truck.

FREE LIBRARY IN MARIETTA.

from the Boston Evening Transcript
An interesting meeting was held
at the house of Mrs. Hemenway, 40
Mt. Vernon street. on Saturday last,
in furtherance of Miss Sarah Free
man Clarke's efforts to establish a
free library for the benefit of the
citizens Of Marietta, Ga. A report
was presented, from which it ap-
peared that Miss Clarke was led to
consider this plan more than eight
years ago, by the eagerness shown
by her Southern neighbors in bor-
rowing such books as she could lend
them. The frequent interruptions
resulting therefrom made it neces-
sary to devise some more systematic
method of meeting this very de-
sirable demand. Miss Clarke, at
this time, fitted up a room which
happened to be at her disposal, as a
library. The books were catalog-
ued, and one day in the week was
set apart for the giving out of such
as were called for. The late Will
liam Amory generously aided this
work by subscription of one hun
dred dollars, which was continued
for FIVE years. A number OF valua-
BILE works were thus secured, and
the post OF librarian was filed by
Miss Clarke herself, aided by O.
young neice. The room hitherto
occupied by the books being no
longer at Miss Clarke's disposal and
the demand for reading matter con-
tinuing undated, this much esteem
ed lady determined to lay the mat
ter before her Northern friends,
confident that they had not out
grown the habit of giving to good
objects. The sum of So, 900 is asked
for, in order that lot of land may
be secured and small but suitable
building erected. The library will
then be placed upon permanent
footing, and the blessings of good
literature will be disseminated in
quarter in which the need of them
is deeply felt, and the desire for
them, thanks to Miss Clarke's eff
forts, already created. Seven hun
bred and fifty dollars have been
already subscribed, as follows: Mrs.
Mary Hemenway, $500; Mrs. Rich
ard Baker, Mrs. Nj. L. Putnam,
Misses Marian Russell, Mary Tap
pan, and Georgia Putnam $50 each.
All further contributions may be
sert to Mr.. Elliot G. Clarke, Is
Brimmer street, Boston. 1t should
be stated in connection that DIR.
Holmes has given to the committee
for the library complete set of his
works, twelve volumes.

CARD OF THANKS.

Rev. J. ]. Hunt, for himself and family,
desires to express his and thier sense of
the kindness of all without distinction,
who, at the fire at his house dpring his alb
scence on Friday last, came so promptly
to their assistance and so nobly gave their
aid. Though unable to save single out
building or it's contents, their heroic ef-
icrts, under the favor of kind Providence,
saved the dwelling and its contents but
little injured, calling tor devout gratitude
to the same Providence, that place was
left were we might still lay our heads ard
call our home.

We herewith hand you our estimate of
the probable cost of system Of Public
Schools, based upon an average attends
ance OF 600 pupils. To equalize taxation
for these schools and at the same time get
the cost to the people down to the lowest
possible figure, we recommend that ma
circulation fee of So 90 per year of 10
months or (50c per month) be charged each
pupil. We believe that we can get $500
year from the Peabody Fund for at least
two years, to help us start these schools,
bat to do this we must get the schools well
under way before we can make application
to the Trustees of that Fund for assistance
We append herewith reports from several
