 FIRE! FIRE!
 There was quite an exciting time on Tuesday of last week on Munson avenue. The first intimation of anything besides the usual course of events in every day life, was the shout of fire! fire.' h. stantly every eye within hearing of the voice, turned toward Munson avenue, where the houses were as thick together as peas in pod, and they didn't look in vain. Smoke came in volumes from the tenement occupied by Joseph Smith. Several attempts were made to go into the house to locate the fire, but they were unsuccessful from the blinding smoke. Pandemonium reigned. Every of the fire company was absent every man present supposed he filled the cap- tain's place. You could hear anything, the air was full of orders such as ''get a ladder,' ''rush for water" stumble the house over," ''deluge everything" The order ''deluge everything" was implicitly obeyed. Each man who carried pail went to work with will and soon what came near being one of Watertown's biggest fires was subdued, several rooms representing artificial lakes. The thanks of every resident of the street is heartily extended to each and every one who done such efficient work in helping to avert, which would have in q short time, been an enormous loss of property. This fire, like the feed mill, shows more and more the necessity of a hose company in our town. Don't wait until too late. Agitate the matter now.

 The chandelier at the Congregations church, fell Sunday morning, about two hours before morning service. The hook which held it broke, and the chan delier was total wreck. AS it hung just over the seats it was very fortunate that it occurred before the seats were filled. The society will doubtless pur chase another one, and it would be good idea if the lamps that are in tn, chapel should meet with some slight ac cident that would necessitate getting new ones.
