IS IT RIGHT?

Is it right that a property-owner should lose $4 20 to let dealer make soc? A dealer makes soc more on fourteen gallons of ready-for-use paint, at S1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of. L. & M paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which make fourteen gallons of the best paint in the world, at sl.2o per gallon; the prop erty-owner loses just $4 20. Is it right? :?
 It only requires gallons of L. & M and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a moderate sized house.

The general store of Mitchell & Will Hams was burned to the ground, Sun day morning. The building was en- tirely burned and the villagers had to work lively to save the nearby parish house of the Congregational church. Over the store was an oil tank which had been recently filled with about 100 gallons of oil, and this fuel made the blaze bad one. The oil continued to burn until afternoon. The total loss is S6, 900 and the insurance half that amount. The firms safe was opened after the ruins had cooled and the con- tents were found intact. The fire is supposed to have been the result of spontaneous combustion.

JAMES LEES HOUSE SAVED FROM
 BURNING.
 James Lee came very near being burned out of house and home last Sunday morning. The chimney from the kitchen got on fire and in some way got through between the parti- tions producing heat enough to blister them from the heat inside, when it was fortunately discovered. A quick and liberal application of water from a tank near by soon put it out.
 ROADS STILL BLOCKED WITH SNOW.
 There are several unopened roads yet. It was hoped the sun and warm rains would do most of the work. Some way the sun has not given out his usual heat for this season and the storms are so light as to be of no effect either way. Most of these are back roads but there are those who feel they must be opened before long.
