The fire last Friday evening
which destroyed the home of Mr.
Sosthene JUDGE, proved US thai
we cannot put too much reliance
upon the fire hose, which have al.
ready been in use for eight or ten
years. Several sections of the
hose bursted, which caused some
delay in patching or changing.
There is yet some six or seven
hundred feet of apparently good
hose, but in case of serious fire
and little too much pressure up
on them, will certainly cause them
to burst. The town authorities
should provide. and without de.
lay, some FIVE hundred feet OF new
fire hose.
We learn that the ladies Of the
town propose to make a move to-
wards raising funds to build a
substantial walk in front of the
Catholic church, from Main street
to the church, which is a very
commendable enterprise. and we
are sure they will have the assis-
lance of our people in this effort.
A good walk there lie sorely need.

good work going until they have

tered over the place for the ladies
to enjoy a rest on Sunday even
