There was narrow escape from a
serious conhagration in the store OF
Henry Capser, Sank Centre, on Tuesday

swung and writhed like fiery serpents,
but fortunately did not come in contact
with the light drapery near the lamps.
Some lamp shades and few baskets in
the window were destroyed. Entrance
to the store was gained by breaking a
plate Of glass in the front door and the
fire speedily extinguished.

chestra of Morris, may be attributed the
success on this OCCASION, as
better music for dancing could not easily
have been procured, and all seemed salts

nominal sum invested with an all-around

capable of taking part in until a. M, at
the same time dancing in the noble cause
of ''The end justifying the means. -
About 1875 numbers we're sold, which

been netted, as nearly all took part in the
grand spread in the Graceville house

at Graceville to witness the pleasing
