FIRE IN WORCESTER.

Fire which had its origin in the
shed adjoining the Congregational
church in Worcester destroyed that
building, the horse sheds near, and
the house next to the church owned
by Frank Taylor late Thursday after
noon.
A strong wind was blowing from
the north about O'Clock when the
fire was discovered. 1t had already
gained considerable Roadway and the
efforts to save any part of the con-
tents of the church were in vain and
the seats, organ and books all went
before large crowd had gathered
and attempted to keep the flames
from the house near by. When they
saw it was no use they commenced to
take the contents from the house and
succeeded in saving all of the house
hold goods.
The house is two story tenement
structure occupied by the families of
II Ittuh ldylOr anu w lllldm hellORR.
Mr.. Kellogg and his daughter were in
Montpelier at the time and MI and
Mrs. Taylor were in Barre. Beside
the house barn and shop were also
destroyed.
How the fire started is mystery.
1t was in the shed of the church and
no services had been held Sunday, the
last function having been social
on Friday night. Several theories are
aired. 1t is thought by some to have
been caused by spontaneous combustion
| and by others to be the result of a
match being ignited by mouse.
The town hall was located on the
ground floor of the church. The
church was built long time ago but
was in good condition. The loss will
be nearly total. The house was in
sured for $3.50.

Dear Sir: Thad r. Manning, Esq,
editor of the Gold Leaf, Henderson,
N. O., sends us the tale of Devoe in
his town.
Mr.. James A. O'Neil's house was
painted twenty wears ago with Devoe
and lately was painted again.
Twenty years is too long but the
paint looked better than other paint
in half the time. This answers for
quality.
Takes less quantity too. A gallon
Devoe will go as far as five to ten
quarts ofioommon paint.
