Frank Marcy, who recently made a
brief visit at W. 81. Hollis, while at his
duty as fireman on the Boston & Maine
railroad, had a close call on the occasion
OF a disaster from one of the late fresh
cts, which had undermined the road.
One of his feet was on the engine, the
, other on the tender, when the vehicles
parted. He sprang farther into the en-
CINE cab and so saved his life. Frank
would never have been in greater danger
( perhaps, had he persisted In enlisting for
, the late Spanish war.
Our copy for last weeks Press, with

and Mr.. Philbrook's, across the common,
were well reported at the Y. P. s. G. e.

The neighbors ON the Hill experienced
: quite scare Monday afternoon, when
q the roof of Winfield Slater's house took
fire from flaming chimney. Both Of the

and water pals soon subdued the blaze
little damage resulting. The wind was
high, the men folks were away at work
and 1t was narrow escape. In. leases

to send little checks to valiant neighbors
unpaid firemen, who spring to the rescue
and thus save said companies from large
u pecuniary loss, as deserved rewards. Blu
