 GROVES. ida He has written two interest ing opistles to the Gazette. Of St Augustine he writes "St Augustine, as all travellers re- mark, is Il quaint city, and outside of it's great hotels and irownng fort, contains more that Is curious than grand. Most of the streets are very narrow and are often overhung by bal. comics built near the tops of the little low houses. Quite number of the ancient Span ish houses built of cOquina, still remain Most of the houses arc little and old, many Of them shabby, and are surrounded by the queerest little yards, in which trees and shrubs are allowed to grow in a tangled and neglected way. The cemeteries in the city are sorry places. They are shamefully neg lected and are filled with tangles of shrubs, weeds and rubbish, among which part of some old sravestone may occasionally be seen. St Augustine Is a very small city. In n short time one can walk all over it."

A BAD FIRE.


 The building in the rear of John Doeh. rer's house was destroyed by fire, last Friday night. MT Doehrer has lately patented gasoline lamp which is con- sidered superior to any other in the mar ket. It is designed chiefly for painters and plumbers use and MT DOehrer has been busy of late manufacturing these lamps in this building.

MT Doehrer will continue to manufacture these lamps as soon as he can rebuild. Trumbull Center should give him a good manufacturing site, as his business is likely to grow, if it can once get good start. He has other use- ful articles he would manufacture in due time.
