 Mrs William McHan still remains quite i'll. Her mother also remains in feeble condition at Miss c. M. Knapp's on Christian street.
 Mrs l.. A. Tyrrell has been quite Ill at her home for two weeks
 The ice on our streets and walks, last week, caused several falls but no broken bones reported. The snow came as welcome visitor, the latter part of the week, and sleds and sleighs are again brought into use.

nearly all the movable goods from the large farmhouse, above the cellar, be fore the flames overlook them. Some things were also taken from the eel lar. The adjoining buildings were saved. There was much danger ap- prehended at first that the horse barn near the house would ignite, but in saving the woodhouse, nearer the house, the greatest danger to the barn was averted. The night being quite still it was easier to contine the fire, although the water supply was very slim. A good deal of snow was used and the small amount of water avail able and the result is much more for tunate than at first feared by all. No one was physlcially Injured and MT Humphrey and family have found temporary shelter at his only near neighbours, Robert c. Whittlesey's B. On account of the bright moonlight of that night, the reflection of the fire was hardly seen mile away and the only intimatiOn all received was by the telephone. We have not yet learned in regard to the insurance on the property. The loss of the home in midwinter, situated as that is, seems worst for all.

Humphrey and family, known years ago as the David o. Whittlesey place, was on fire and calling for all the help possible to assist in saving from the house all possible and also to help save the adjoining building. It was a . cold night to start and an unfavor- able hour, without much extra exer- tion, to inform the majority of the viii laRe of the unfortunate occurrence. In various ways, however, Is or 20 mes from this near vicinity were notified and responded to the call. A few sfeighs were thus loaded which con- veyed them to the fire three miles away. Those who first went reached
 there In time to assist in removing furniture, carpets, stoves and in fact
