his visit to Boston was for the purpose of obtain
ing employment. He had about $50 in money

Wednesday Evenings Fire.

Great excitement was caused in our usu-
ally quiet village by the burning of one of
the lighthouses, owned by the North River
Manufacturing company, on Wednesday
evening. The fire broke out at about
6 o'clock. The whole village rallied at the
alarm, and by almost superhuman effort,
the mill and jelly house was saved. Had
these buildings burned it would have been
impossible to have saved the dwelling
houses owned by +. H. and A. c. Stetson
and WilcoX's hotel. Telephone dispatches
were sent to Wilmington, Halifax and
Nottingham, all of which responded
promptly, but the fire was subdued and
under control before they arrived. The
lighthouse was filled with seasoned slaves
The jelly house caught fire several times
Had the wind been high, or in westerly
direction, that part of our village would
have been swept out.
