Before Godfrey Bingham dropped off into
a troubled sleep on that eventful night he
learned that the girl who had saved his life
at the risk, and almost at the cost, Of her own
was out of danger, and in his own and more
reticent way he thanked providenceas hearth

When he awoke, feeling very sick and so
stiff and sore that he could scarcely move, the
broad daylight was streaming through the
blinds The place was perfectly quiet, for
the doctors assistant who had brought him
back to life, and who lay upon a couch at the
further end Of the room, slept the silent sleep
of youth and complete exhaustion. Only an
eight day clock ON the mantelpiece licked in

be on fire. Alarm was at once given, and in
an incredible short time a croud of men,
women, and children had gathered sufficient in
number to form four lines from the water
tank This organization was kept up until
daylight, when a hose was attached to the
penstock which furnished abundance of water
and relieved the nearly exhausted workers.
The dry house, and about 300 cords ofstaves,
with 100 cords of heading were burned,
and only by four hours of hard work was the
shop and new dry house saved. The loss
amounts to several thousand dollars. Mr..
Harding's people extend thanks through this

and Patriot has the following on free
advertising. "News is news and adj
vPrtising is advertising. In the latter
category belongs the announcement
OF fairs, concerts or any other enter
tainment to which an admission fee is
charged, or at which money is taken
for any cause whatever. Hence when
a newspaper is asked to give a gratu-
itous publication of a notice Of any
thing of that kind it is simply asked
to do so much advertising without
pay forit, just as it would be if it was
asked to advertise the sale of house,
farm, or any other property without
pay. There is an impression in the
minds of many that such announce
ments are lOcalnews, but this is erro-
neOus. There may be reasons why
the publisher would be willing to do
nate to the object named the sum
that would ordinarily be charged for
such advertising, but as a rule he
should expect to be paid. 1t has been
the custom of late for the Argus and
