Gathered by Telegraph From All

Almost wiped out.

Akron, Jan. 11.--A disastrous fire at
Thomastown, a small village southeast
of here four miles, came near wiping
out the best part of the town. As 1T
was, the general store and post office,
kept by C. L. Huber, the blacksmith
shop of Charles Brenner, the residence
of William Thomas and two other
small frame dwellings were destroyed.
The fire started in the Huber store
just before daylight and its origin is
mystery. There was a fire in the
stove, but it is scarcely thought that
the blaze could have come from there
so long after the fire had been replen-
ished. The total loss will be about
$1,000.

IT has been reserved for enterprising
lovers of chess in Hungary to evolve
the most novel form of the game. The
game was played on a billiard table
marked off into GA squares. The
game was played by four young men,
two on each side, and whenever piece
was taken the mover had to empty the
bottle of wine so removed. The game
did not last very long. In fact, by the
time the pawns were advanced two of
the four players were incapaciated.
