(For The Press.) oLDEN TIMES.

Several years ago an article was pub lished in The Press descriptive of the Hall district of Stafford in olden times. The writer of that article has intended to add one or more similar contributions re-. lating to neighboring localities, and has collected some material from time to time. A part of the material will appear in the following, sketch sa
 South of the Hall district and east of Staffordville is considerable tract most ly covered with pastures and woodlands. In it's northern part rises an elevation known as Ferry Hill, at whose northern base lies the Rawitser reservoir, which empties through narrow and steep val ley into the Stafordville reservoir, about a mile below. Along it's south eastern border runs the wood covered range known as Hedgehog, at whose foot flows Roaring brook through 8 valley that winds far away to the south. It's eastern boundary is the town of Union, and it's western border approaches Staffordville.
 During recent visit to Stafford, I took walk with two companions through this neighborhood. Passing the old house where few years ago Benjamin Agard lived, and the old house place just across the road and nearly opposite, we crossed the stream where many years ago a saw mill stood and aroused the surrounding hills with it's tardy saw and uncouth wheel. In the. pasture, a little east of where the saw-mill was, Is a house spot, where no house has stood for nearly eighty years: Passing this and turning nearly north, we soon reached the road and an old cellar surrounded by woods and over grown with trees. Following the road and climbing the hill, we came to house built about eighty-four years ago, where MT. Rose now lives. Passing on to the south, we noted several house-spots, and recalled the names of former inhabitants long since departed.
 There was once a road passing through this region quite direct from, north to south. Most of this has long been closed, only few rods remaining open of the whole distance from the cemetery in the Hall district to the place of the old school Ihouse near where Wesley Bradway now lives. We passed along where this road had been, finding sometimes very good path, sometimes scarcely recognizing any trace of the old road until, at lengths we lost 1t altogether. Our further walk took in two old house-spots some distance north of Ksslsy Bradwsy's house, and | an old housR-spQt md gristzrnill site near tthe footQz Hedgeho then, ttlrning back lagain dssd psselns by the Holmes place and all old hcuse-spot a little further on, we sntered thenew nordyille rosid near

HUNKUM HILL.

used to gaze on Hunkum Hill And think it very high, And one of Natures IT ighty props That help uphold the sky. One day toddled up it's side
 And stood upon it's top, And then r learned the sky must rest Upon some other prop. And there I saw it just beyond, Another hill much higher, It's summit mingled with the sky All fused with sunset fire. That hills button on the earth,'' Said I to little John, Thegreat sky spreads its buttonhole And there it hitches on.'' One day I climbed this other hill, And found with heavy heart, The button and the buttonhole
 We're very far apart. But there against the crimson west Another hill was seen, A mighty spangled cushion where The big sky loved to lean. And so I've kept on climbing hills From busy day to day, But from the topmost peaks find The sky is far away. In spite of many tumbles, still

An alarm of fire was sent in from box 26
through the auxiliary box on the south
side of the Seattle block for small blaze
in the upper story of No. 2l115 Cherry
street, occupied by G. w. Montgomery.
The firemen answered the call in short
order but found no one at box %
to direct them to the fire. After
waiting about ten minutes Police
Lieutenant Sims brought information
that the fire was in the rear of the Amos
Brown block at 2l114 Cherry street. The
firemen found that the fire had started in
the bedroom of the apartments occupied
by q. w. Montgomery from the explosion
OF kerosene lamp. Montgomery smoth
cred the fire with clothes before more than
$40 damage had been done.
Notwithstanding the fact that there is a
notice over the box for the person who
turns in an alarm to go directly TO the
street box with which the auxiliary con-
meets and direct the department to the
fire, 1t is repeatedly overlooked, and the
apparatus is left to stand on the corner
until some one gives information or the
tremen locate the fire themselves.

ItaIy's Silver Policy.

ROME, Jan. 26.-The governments inten-
ton on the currency question was the sub
ject of an Interpolation III the senate
today. The minister of the treasury, Luz
zati, said the monetary question had not
reached an acute stage. 1t was the spirit
of the renewal of the Latin union ques-
ton, which greatly excited America on
account of her imperfect system. The
Washington City government must come
to some resolution, in order to avoid
injury from the circulation of sill
yer. The owners of silver mines are
the only people in America who seek to
inaugurate silver mono -metallism. 1t was
to Italy's greater interest to preserve the
Latin union. 1t would be very false step
to leave the Latin league for the purpose
OF embracing silver mono-metallism. He
had determined to appoint a commission
to study the monetary policy and con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of founding frac-
tional currency intermediate between
bronze and silver

GREAT STORM IN CALIFORNIA.
A Tremendous Southeast Gale Followed
by Copious Rainfall.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 26.-The storm on
Monday was severe one and was felt far
up the coast. Grave fears are entertained
for some of the many coasters that were at
sea. The steamer Newsberry, from Ma
varro, reports having experienced strong
southeast gale, with very high seas. She
passed a large amount of lumber floating
around, and the probabilities are some of
the lumber craft are minus their deck loads.
At times the wind blew sixty miles an
hour, while torrents of rain fell Up to
daylight today one inch of rain had fallen
in this city. All the trains from the north
were several hours late, having been de-
layed by washouts. Serious damage wa,
done to shipping at anchor in the harbor
or lying at the wharves. In the city there
were many minor accidents.
The biggest disaster was the total de-
molition of new building on Broderick
street. between Ridley and Tilden. This
was well along toward completion. 1t was
substantial structure, the contract price
being $4,000, but the partitions were not yet

hours after its first appearance and was
followed during the night by rain, which
