about 10 o'clock smoke again began to
ascend and not from the chimney this
time but from nearly the entire length
of the roof to the main part. About
as soon as they discovered it them
selves neighborS began coming in with
pals and every other appliance that
could be used in case like this. Some
two or three men mounted the roof
while others kept plenty Of water en-
route. The most effective work was
done by Frank Slade and James Swift,
as Frank had the pluck and nerve to
crawl up through the Scuttle hole to
the small attic and Mr. Swift took his
place just at the scuttle and kept him
we'll supplied with water. The heat
was intense and the smoke SutfOcating
but these two stood at their post, I'M
tlinchingly, until they got the fire UNI
der control. They both looked like a
bundle of wet rags when they came
down covered with smoke and dirt. In
behalf If the others present, using Mr.
Slade's own words, there wasn't any,
one present but that did all they
could. Had it not been for quick
work and timely assistance the entire
house would shortly have been a ruin.
AS it is now, it stands, but badly
da mayed. All the chambers are more
or less damaged and the roof SO badly
burned that it will have to be entirely
renewed on the upright part. Mr. and
Mrs Slade express their heartfelt
thanks to all those who SO kindly lent
their assistance.

A TEMPEST RAGING,


Pavilion hall association, at an adj
jOurned meeting, last Saturday even
ing, by vote decided not to reduce the
membership fee or to let the hall to
the Pinafore troupe except the asso-
citation can receive certain per cent
or the receipts for the same instead of
receiving any given sum for the use of
the hall. The troupe were willing to
pledge the association $50 for two
evenings which is higher rate for the
use of the hall than the association
has had for other entertainments, ex-
cept as they have at times run the
risk of having large audiences and
agreed to accept certain per cent of
the ticket receipts. This last named
method has resulted both ways-good
and bad-for the association and a
regular price has been more often set
for the use of it. The vote of Satur-
day evening discourages the troupe
from trying to render Pinafore here
and they will probably render it in a
neighbOring hall. In regard to the
fee charged to become member of
the Hall association, opinions were
evenly divided among the member RS
present so that the chairman's vote
decided there should be no reduction
for the sake OF receiving more money
or members. This association first
consisted Of less members than the

CLOSE SHAVE FROM DEATH.
Paul Farrand had the pleasure of en-
PERTAINING little Gunnery boy, the
other day. Both had guns and the
familiarity with which they blazed
away at trees and stumps scared their
elders. Finally to cap the climax the
boys went up stairs, when the Gun
merry lad accidentally discharged his
gun. The Shot went through rug,
flooring, the lath and plaster, and
some of the shot hit Burdett Farrand,
asleep on bed, who commenced to
scream Justify. Drs Ford and Woesbe
were sent for and it was found the lad
was not seriously injured. In a twink
ling two guns disappeared and when
they appear again the boys will be
older and have better sense in regard
to handling them. 1t was Provi-

the mud west of George Clark's house,
and it was rescued with difficulty. For
several days it was impossible for his
milk team to get to Washington De-
pot by the north roads, owing to the
deep mud. He was obliged to go by
way of the Harmon Frisbie place and
through the lots. Charles Nichols was
unable to get away from his house by
the roads, taking down wall and 60
ing through his meadows. The roads
were never in SO deplorable condi-
tion owing to the havoc brought by
the frosts. People in Washington are
not talking against permanent road
work, these days.
