Monday Mornings Fire.

Very early last Monday morning, before
the first hour had been toled, the people
of this place were awakened by the alarm
of fire. The blaze originated in the base
ment of d. G.. Taylors shed, and spread
rapidly to his house. and but for the wake
fulness of Mrs. Taylor, an invalid, the in
mates would probably have been burned.
Mr.. Taylor lost his house, shop, two barns,
his machinery, lumber, household furni-
ture and family wearing apparel Scarce
" any thing was saved except his burial
caskets, which were in G.. G.. Hamilton's
building, eight feet distant, and which soon
took fire and was entirely consumed. Mr.
Hamiltons building was occupied by the
grange, f. Crosier, photographer, and Mr..
Taylor's undertaking goods. All the
grange and most of Mr.. Croser's property
were saved. Hamilton had $500 insur-
ance, Taylor S344O. This fire wipes out
one of the principal industries of the place,
and it is hoped the buildings will soon be
replaced. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs.
Taylor, who, it was feared, might not re.
cover from the shock, but she seems to be
doing well.

Death Of Mrs. Mackie.

In the death of Mrs Macllie, wife of
the Rev. 7. Mackie, which occurred May
II, the community has sustained a great
loss. For five years she has been a great
sufferer, and during the last year her suf-
ferings have been of the most intense ma
ture, but borne with that patience and
fortitude which alone can come from
strong will power, helped by that unseen
hand which guides us all. At the age of
1G Mrs. Mackie united with the Methodist
church, and by her Christian devotion has
proved that her religion was part of her
self. She was united in marriage to Rev.
T. Macke March II, 1881, and has proved
herself a most devoted wife. Before her
illness she was ever ready to 90 with help
ing hand where others at times would fall
ter, giving that comfort so much needed
in times of trouble. Funeral services
were held at the Methodist church last
Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Sisson, pastor OF the
church, officiating.

PUTNBY


Miss Nellie Maria Aplin, aged "a, died
of consumption May -, in East Putney.
and by her death passed away one whose
beautiful Christian character was simply
an exponent of the love of her Heavenly
Father, whom it was her ambition to
serve.
She had been a member of the Congre-
gational church since childhood and had
always been an earnest and faithful Chris
tan worker, rejoicing to do good to all in
her Masters name.
Though in delicate health for several
years, suffering from weakness and pain,
she was always cheerful, sef-sacrificing,
and thoughtful for the comfort of others,
especially her mother and brother to whom
she was devotedly attached.
Her anticipations for the future were of
the brightest, yet with perfect trust in
God she was ready to obey his summons.
A little while before her death she asked
her mother to read the fifteenth day from
her day book which, was very cheering to
her:
