* /" The building of fence along
the public highway as prevention
against snow drifting into and filling
the roads is now under discussion
The popular side of the question is
in favor Of wire fences. Where fences
require rebuilding, let wire fences be
put up and await the result of ne1t;win-
ter's snow and billiards.. On
last Saturday night about II o'clock,
a slight fire occurred in Charles S.
Rice's store room, about half mile
west of Saville. The fire WAS caused
from the fue taking FIRE. There are
two pipe holes in the fue, one of
which was closed with tin cover or
cap, which, it appears WAS thrown off
by the heat: and through this open
ing the fire fell to the floor of the
store room, igniting several boxes,
standing close by, from which flames
lesped upwards and burned into the
ends of several pieces Of calico and
pant stuffs Their children became
restless, and Mrs. Rice arose to at
tend to the child and thus discovered
the fire and alarmed her husband,
who FASTENED to the store and with q
few buckets of water brought it un-
der control. A few minutes later it
would have been impossible to have
saved any of these buildings, as all
are convenient to the dwelling and
the nigh wind would have carried the
flames from one to the other. An
other report is that the fire was very
near box containing dynamite and
caps. A very fortunate escape for
the family.
Boston had six million dollar fire
last Friday in which a number of
people lost their lives. The fire
started in a toy and baby carriage
factory. just bow the fire started is
not known.
