On Tuesday evening, April -, at Ire
mont hall. the comedy Breezy Point"
was presented to full house by Rowena
Rebekah lodge. The fine weather, excel
lent acting and good management rem
dered suece-s certain, but the financial re-
suits exceeded exps citations. Ice cream
and cake were served at the banquet hall
til a late hour, and 8 grand ball la the
lodge room followed the drama. Music
was by joys orchestra.

A prolific topic OF excited conversation
here the past week has been the burning
on Monday night, April Is. OF the old
Clark house on the corner, and all sorts of
surmises as to origin Of the fire have been
hazarded. 1t is generally conceded, that,
riage and harness house, where smokers
had free access, the confiagrstion was
accidental. CLANCY Randall lost good
sleigh, harnesses and other stable gear
Mrs Randall had, she estimates, nearly
200 worth OF furniture stored there, and
Postmaster Ralph lost one or two good
stoves, placed there for safe keeping. A
slight fire was seen about 10 p. m, and, as
IL was thought, extinguished, but appar-
emily some sparks remained, and the fire
broke out again at O'Clock in the morn
ing. The citizens quickly organized a
volunteer fire department, connecting a
hose pipe to the hydrant, and worked
like heroes. 1t was feared the flames
would sweep other buildings hear, and
but for the fact that the night was per-
fectly calm, there must have been gen.
eral confsgration. Thomas Clark, of Au-
gusta, owned the premises, the house and
stable being insured.
