fire was rung in and the fire department re-
sponded, but the house had evidently been
| on fire some time when discovered and was
a total loss. The barn was saved without
injury. This house was occupied by the late
l. w. Haverer and used as ship chandeI-
cry and grocery store for his shipyard, which
was located at this point, and where the
famous schooner Rainbow was built in 1858.

MEMORIAL DAY. Again the day set apart
by the reyered custom of the people OF our
country is approaching, designated by law
as a perpetual memorial of the men who
gave their names to the Union army and
navy and were faithful unto death. What
we do will be but part of the universal
ceremony all over our land where the veter-
ans are at rest. Every ear makes Its mourn
full contribution to the silent army What
we do, therefore, will also be in memory OF
new graves, fast Outnumbering the old
few more years and the last survivor will
have departed, the last encampment will be
adjourned in silence, the last post deserted.
the worn ritual put away, and little children
upon the streets will hush their laughter to

we do, therefore, will be grateful recog-
milton to the living, no less than memorial
of the scattered dead. The spirit of this
hour puts to silence the voice of partisan
dispute 1t turns our thoughts from the
sordid enterprises of the world 1t sancti-
ijes the flying moments to the tender offices
of memory, and of love. The day by right
belongs to the veterans of the civil war, and
| to the men and women who shared with
them the experience of those torn and bleed
ing years. 1t is the earnest request or the
veterans that there should be no unneceS
sary desecration of the day by any diver
sions, and that the places of business be
closed during the services at the hall IN the
afternoon, and all, both old and young. are
especially requested to attend the services.
The address will be given by Captain Benz
Pitman of Lynn, Mass, an Old veteran OF
the civil war, who comes to us highly rec
commended as an orator for the occasion
and to whom it will be a pleasure to llsten
