statements, communicated TO a cor
tributor to the Birmingham Daily

open sea before the breeze suddenly
freshenel and the water became

some friends aboard, made at once for

z AMES McCONB, a California
! ranchman. has had 81 exceed
~ insly narrow escape from death
IN the forest fires which have
been raging IN the vicinity Of Ckiah.
He was visiting a friend who lives Oh
Pine Ridge, five miles from Ikla1,
and shortly after Lis descent from
the divide, be entered 4 marrow eau
yon. When he started East tue hra
Was Oh the northern side Of the can
,von, so he rode leisurely along. He
finally reached an abrupt turn III the
trail, whence his view toward the
east Was unobstructed for at least half
a mile. He then discovered that the
fire had crossed the canyon on the
east, and eHectually blocka1ad csress
in that direction. There remained
thea the alternative Of returning or
perisling in the flames, as the sides
OF the canyon through which be
was travelling were SO steep and Pre-
cipitous as to render escape by as
cending the mountains Impossible.
He turned his horse aAl prepared for
a retreat.
He had proceeded but short dis.
tance when he saw that the fire had
also crossed the canyon on the west,
thus practically impriscning Lin in a
circle Of flames. His horse at tlls
tio1e began also to realize the danger
cI the position and soon became m
manageable. Seeing the impossible
ity Of escaping horseback McComb
lett his horse AMI attempted to scale
the lofty mountain wall to the south.
This ne fonnd to be impossible, so he
again took tbs trail and proceeded!
west, directly in tue face Of the
flame, hoping, apparently against
h5pS, to diseoEec- scme method ct es-
cape further down.
McComb soon SAN that it would &c
impossible to escape by going further
west, SO he plunged down into tae
bottom Of the canyon, along which
flowed stream of water Of consider
able volume. Bathing his face in the
cooling stream McComb determined
to make a last attempt to escape up
the mountain side. As he was about
to start he glanced up the canyon AMI
discovered small cascade, the stream
having descent Of about twelve feet,
lie quickly sprans up the bank and
made his way to the cascade.
There he saw behind the curve Of
the water depression in the rock sui
fciently large to afford place cf safe
ty from tho flames, Iuto this he
sprang. The walls were damp and
cool, and McConb was satisfied that
for the time being he was safe.
In the meantime the fire Ind spread
rapidly, and before long the brush
and trees directly over the place Of
refuge we're afre. The depression
grew alarningly warm, but not SUI
ticientlJ SC to cause any particular IN
cas:ness. McComb remained bchin |
the cascade from about two o'clock
in the afternoon until 8 o'clock
next morning. When be emerged the
entire face Of the canyon hadchanged;
the frt having cleared it OF slt vege.
tation. He made his way through
fallen branches and burning limbs
with considerable difficulty, but

LEGISLATORS VISIT PUTNAM PARK.

LEGISLATORS VISIT PUTNAM PARK.
 On Friday the Legislative committee, accompanied by other members of the General Assembly, paid visit to the Putnam park. Though but short mo- tice was given of their coming, the ladies of Bedding were not caught mapping, hut proved themselves, as many times before, fully equal to the occasion. and there was not only an abundance, but surplus of provision for the hungry crowd. After doing justice to the elegant and appetiz ing collation.. Senator Bernd called the assembly to order, and after delivering a neat and appropriate address, called on others for short speeches. Among those who spoke were Senator Fuller, Repre- sentatives Warner of Putnam, one of the most eloquent members of the house, Lounsbury of Darien, Boss of New Lon don and Wadsworth, the chairman of the committee. Among others who spoke were Rev H. L Slack of Bethel, Rev c. F. Luther of Bedding. Take it all to- gether it was one of the most enjoyable of the many occasions of similar char acter which have occurred on this clas- sic ground. The delegation were very favorably impressed, ,and expressed them selves as desirous of making generous appropriation. In the hurry of their de- parture the committee forgot to thank the ladies for their generous spread, and take this means of repairing their neg lect. We forgot to say that ex-SenatOr Bartram, who may appropriately be call ed the father of the park, delivered 8 very fine speech.
 The announcement of the severe illness of Miss Ada J. Todd caused feeling of profound sadness in Bedding, where she is so well known and highly esteemed. At the last advices she was in a very pre- carious condition. and but faint hopes are entertained of her recovery.

AT THE GREENS F.RMs CONGREGATIONAL
 CHURCH.

A very pleasant meeting of the Fair field Association of Congregational churches took place on Tuesday at Greens Farms. The pleasure of the oc- casion was in no small degree added to
 by the pastors wives club assembling at the same time. An able paper on Pas
 toral Visitation" by Rev Russell T. Hall,
 of the Second Congregational church,
 Greenwich, aroused helpful and practical discussion. The main trend of this dis cussion was that, although pastoral call ing had in large measure degenerated into an exchange of small talk and gos- sip, still this time henored means of get ting acquainted with the people in their home life and thus enabling the pastor to find out their needs and preach accord ingly should not be given up, but rather the effort should be to purge it of it's de- fleets. A review of Kidd's ''Social Evo- lutiou" was made by Rev John W. Bal
 lantine, of Ridgefeld, showing how the attitude of the pronounced scientists of | the world was changing toward Christi

Peas, beets, onions and cabbage were cultivated the fore part of the week. One lone hungry looking potato beetle was seen standing guard over field of early potatoes ready to get it's fill on the first plant that made an appearance above ground, Farmers must fight him with hammer and tongs. Make him sick with Paris Green. Kill him in some way, or the farmer loses his crop. Should the potato plant be only partly eaten it destroys greater part of the flavor of the potatoes.
