An Old Landmark Destroyed by Fire.
The dwelling on the old Corse property,
which was the most ancient houses in, that
Saturday night last. The loss is about $1,000
and is offset by insurance for about that
amount. The property is owned by Mr..
Robert Coxon and was last occupied by the
German Orphan Asylum as summer home
for some of the children. The fire was first
seen about P. NJ, and the Gardenville Engine
Company and the Lauraville and Alert Volun-
teer companies answered the alarm. The
blaze was in the roof when first seen and the
than a century old and was called the Bowly
Mansion, from which Bowly's, or Brehms,
lane got its name. The paper on one OF the
rooms was more than 125 years old. For many
years this old house was the home OF the late
William Corse, who conducted extensive nnr-
series there known as Furley Hall Nurseries.
All the children of the late MIR. and Mrs.
Corse were born in this old mansion.

Marble Eli, 9Th Distrlct.-The public
sale Of DR.. J K. Orrison, agent, as advertised
in The UNION, was well attended and good
prices were obtained. The sale amounted to
over 81, 900, which was due to the auctioneer-
ing ability of Mr.. John V. Slade. He finished
when the moon was shining. A great deal
can be sold in half a day if the sale begins
kind is according to the advertisement. But
few handbills or posters are seen and often
many are passed unnoticed, or are torn down,
hence good newspaper advertisement is neces-
sary for success.
There was large attendance at the Ladies'
Aid Society meeting at Dr.J. E. Benson's last
week. Refreshments were gratefully enjoyed.
arary list of the Epworth Ladies' Aid Society
were given the privilege last week of enter
tanning the society and did it remarkably well.
Addresses were on the line of the wonders done
by the male sex and the singing was by male
voices. There was no female help other than
Miss Ada B. Tracey, who decided to assist as
organist, after the failure to get man FOR that
place. Such was the occasion that everybody
was pleased. A long table had been set with
by the men who had on white aprons in serv-
ing the ice-cream and cake to the twenty-four
ladies. A vote of thanks was given the gentle
men. The decorations about the loom were
prettily arranged.
1t is strange that there should be any spoiled
ballots, but there were many on Tuesday.
There were 20 at the first precinct of the 9Th
district. When we had the emblem ballot
there were but few spoiled ones. 1t would
have been better If we had kept it. Had voters
been deprived Of their privilege of the ballot
there would have been great ado over it. Just
think of about 5000 not making use OF that
privilege.

weather we are now having is giving our
farmers an excellent opportunity to get their
corn crop housed. The yield through this

engaged in the milk business, is the model
farmer of our district. He has succeeded in
getting his large crop of corn all husked, for
which he paid % cents barrel. This price he
considers cheaper than having it husked by
the shock, as you yet all your corn in the crib.
while by theshock you have great deal stored
away in the fodder.
