I sailed with lumber for New York.
Monday morning an alarm of fire was sound
ed on Cape Jellison, the brick house, the So
called Berry place, being fire around the
chimney. Fortunately, the hose soon had the
town water playing so copiously upon the

much damage done. The injury was
mostly from the water which, however saved
the house, now occupied by Mr.. Cowmow and
family. The value of our public water supply

The entertainment given last Friday even
ing in Denslow Hall under the auspices of the

good sized audience present. The play was
bright, catchy and amusing and was well rem
dered throughout while the musical num-
bers were especially pleasing. "any one selec-
tion being well worth the admission fee,"
several listeners remarked. The unpropitious
weather prevented full attendance of our
people-the terrific downpour coming just
about time of going to the hall-but trifie
over expenses was cleared through friendly
aid. Had the evening been fair goodly sum
would have been added to the Aids treasury
the social dance, following the dramatic and
musical entertainment, with music by Herri-
mans orchestra, having been very pleasing to
all participating; and the enforced absence of
many, intending to be present, great disap-
pointment. The thanks of the Unversalist
parish is extended to the Belfast friends and
Rev. A. A. Smith and wife, who so kindly vol
unteered to come to Stockton to present the
farce and music, previously given for the ben
eft of the UniversaGst Ladies' Aid association
