fre-bell. This is the second time that
the same sort of fun has been INDUCED

to him when he was little child. One
day he climbed into a box in which a
lot of hot ashes and live Goals had
been placed. He was in his bare feet,
and before he could be lifted out most
of his toes were so badly burned that
they had to be amputated. Hewalked
with limp ever afterwards. The &C.
cident occurred probably sixty years
ago.
The store room owned by Mr.. S. L
Williams and occupied by l. W Will

heavy frost arrested the progress of
the flames so that it was easily extin-
guished with a few buckets of water.
The old roof will be replaced with a
new one of slate at once.
