A Slight Fire.

A few days since, Mrs A. &. Parker, OF
Highland, having occasion to use an upstairs
room which was utaliZed as a sitting room,
lighted a coal oil stove and went down stairs.
In a short time some one detected smoke in
the atmosphere, and Mrs Parker ran upstairs
to find the entire room ablaze. The loss was
adjusted by the Hartford Mutual Insurance
Company at SIS There is no theory for the
fire except the improbable one that the bot
tom of the stove became unsoldered, letting
the fire out upon the floor.
