coNNUBIAL INFELICITY.

On Thursday night about 1880, the
town was startled by an alarm OF fire.
and it proved to be at the corner of Scar
borough aud Third streets. in house
that belongs TO Raffe Davis. colored
man. Before the engine could get to
it., the fire was under control. although
one whole side and all of the roof OF
the CABIN were burned.
The fire was evidently the work OF
an lncendiary, who proved to be no
other than Jane Davis the vile OF
Raffe Davis, the owner of the cabin. 1t
seems that for some time, the old peo-
pie, for both of them are old, have not
been getting on very smoothly for some
reason or other, and few days ago. Jane
made threats that she would Elk

But James wrath had not spent itself
as yet, and Thursday night she took
a monkey wrench, sneaked back
of the house and unscrewed The
pump handle, so that Raffe's, son,
william, who lives in the house could
get no more water. After this, having

sprinkled it and the side OF the honse
with coal oil and set it OH fire; in a
short time the whole side was blazing
The alarm was given by the bell OF the
ST. Peters Nj. E. Church. and as it was
not late in the night, good many peo-
pie were there at once, but they had to
work like trojans to put the fire out
and save Jane Burns house. which
stands right against the house that
was on fire.
Marshal Blount after the fire, called
at Jane Davis house. aud found her

found out that he was going to burst

taken to jail.

THE HOLY CHRISTMAS TIDE.

The DAYS are as bright as those of
the spring-time, and, yet, Christmas ls
near at hand. For the past week each
beautiful evening, golden with the
December sunlight, has announced its
near approach. For the past week,
the great, golden stars, as they throb-
bed iu the heavens, have cilantcd The
holy anthem. 'sI'he time draws near

Christmas morning dawns, there will
be few happy people on earth. in-
deed, this festival Is one OF sadness,

always made it, day Of rejoicing.
1t is the anniversary of Chriss's
birth, the anniversary ofthe beginning
OF a life sad as death. A very holy.
