On the field of gravitation,
Tho no trace of exultatiou


A most disastrous fire broke out i'll the
neighboring town Of North Strattord
early last Friday evening. 1t started III
the stable of Mathew Donahue, just how
is not known positively, but it thought
from a pipe. The flames quickly spread
to the Human House, which was en-
tirelv consumed, together with all the
barns and outbuildings. From there the
fire branched out in two directions, con-
suming the store and store-houses OF
Pattee & Clark, and the store OF II. Is.
Human.
The building containing Hartwclfs
store, Norcott's barber shop and Knights
of Pvthias Hall went next, closely fol,
lowed by the Twohey Block, occupied by
Kanes barber shop and DR.. Brewster
The dwelling house of David Donahuc
and nearly dozen stables, storehouses
etc, were also burned. The fire is a serl'
Gus blow. to the town, and the loss is
heavy. Pattee & Clark are the heaviest
losers, and their loss is only partially
covered by insurance.
They had recently put in 500 or soc
barrels of -four and large amount o
other goods. The Post Office was loca
ted in this building, but Mr.. Pattee, the
Postmaster, succeeded in saving most o
the property.
Only by the greatest effort was thu
town saved from total destruction. TIL,
