We have always maintained that first mortgage loans held firstrank on the list of investment securities, and developments of the past few months verify our claim, as the market value of all bonds and stocks listed on the New York stock exchange has depre- ciated from 10 per cent to 50 per cent during the last year, whereas there has been no depreciation in value of any mortgages placed by us in many years.

DWELLING HOUSE BURN

DWELLING HOUSE BURNED.
 Again the people of Little Boston district were startled by the cry of fire, last Friday evening, just two weeks after the large barn nearby was burned. This time it was the pretty house owned by Louis Birdseye and formerly owned by Charles Widerstrom. It was used by Mir Birdseye for summer home. The house was closed up for the season the first of October, and he moved his family back to New York for the winter. The house was burned to the ground. The people in this vicinity are getting anxious, for the fires were certainly of incendiary origin, and no one knows who will be the next one to suffer heavy loss.
