A COUNTRY FIRE DEPARTMENT.
It's Only Engine Goes on a Burst Rather
 Than Do Menial Duty.

It's Only Engine Goes on a Burst Rather
 Than Do Menial Duty.
 An engine in town doesn't have the soft snap that one of the pet city ma chimes does. When the fire business is dull the engine is let out by contract. It can pump out cellars, turn a lathe In the pottery, run wringing machine or furnish power for q thrashing ma chine.
 It so happened that of late there have been but few calls on the engine, and as it was lying idle and 8 source of expense to the townsfoll, the select men thought that 1t might be let out about town and do chores enough to earn it's board. One of the Somerse- tenians had cistern, the water in which had become somewhat coagu. lated by an irregular deposit of dead cats and old rubber boots and he thought it "bout time to dreen her out"
 So the engine was let out to him at a nominal sum, he to furnish fuel and labor, etc., and Saturday afternoon the engine was stationed near the cistern to pump it out. The fires were started and in a short time old boots and kitten skeletons were spouting forth from the eurcharged vault Suddenly there was loud report, and the pride of the Somerset boys was cavorting in Sec. tions through the air. The boiler lad burst.
 The lessee of the apparatus had for gotten to spill little water into ths machine, and she was as dry as toast two minutes efter firing up. The re mains were raked together and car- ried back to the engine house in Q hack, where it was put in splints and made as comfortable as could be expected under the circumstances.
 Tho cistern was bailed out with buckets and the townsfolk all re- quested to abstain from fires as much as possible until the engine gets on its feet aga;n.-Fall River Herald.

GOAT THIEVES Al WORK.

The gang which infests Woods Hall has
been playing a new trick on gentlemen who
attend balls there and leave their coats in
the coat room, by counterfeiting the coat
checks. Last Thursday night two valuable
o~Yercoats we're stolen.
The thieves manage to get in the hall and
when a well dressed man puts away an over
coat they get near him, hear his number and
then put their own coats away. In the
course of an hour or SO they return with a
check numbered for the good coat which had
been put away by the well dressed gentle
man. The coat is given them without any
questioning and they depart and either sell
or pawn it. The police are on the lookout
for the perpetrators of this new outrage.
