tenor with fervor.
Then the soprano took 1t up, took up

destruction. Late that night the unoccupied
house owned by Mr.. Wellington Hasten was
discovered to be on fire aud the neighb0rs
We're aroused. The fire quickly spread and the
house was soon a mass OF flames. From the
house the fire spread to the outbuidngs and
stable and they were all burned TO the ground,
a. nothing could he done 10 stop the progress
OF the flames. The unoccupied house adjoin-
ing. owned by Mr.. A. II. BuZzell, OF Amherst,
took fire from the other house. and it was
entirely consumed. The house near by owned
by Mr.. charles Goodwin. and occupied by
himself and family, caught fire five different
times from the other fires and it took some
very active work upon the part OF the oecu-
pants to extpguish the flames which bad been
started, but they finally succeeded in doing so,
saving the buildings. The houses were all
