are looking around to see what they can find
to de.
MIR. Lemue Charles, who lives on Rocky
Creek, about three miles from Jonssvi lie,
had the misfortune of having his dwelling

the cook stove pipe, which was in shed room

than the dwelling the sparks blew from the
pipe on to the top Of the house. MIR. Charles
