Some Reflections.

Paper Read Before the ChaattauQua Circle.
Do you envy the man who, on arriv-
ing in large city, registers, classifies,
and records in his miud all the impress
sions he has received; investigates
carefully the museums, the water sup
ply, the markets, the canals, and the
sewers, aud becomes a periphrastic
"annuaI report" of the kind which mu-
nicipal government issue? In the eyes
of such profound students the frivolous
pleasure-seeker will lind little favor.
The la ter may be endowed with but
slight profunuity, but he Keeps his
eyes open and his nose in the air while
he saunters thru the streets, delighting
in all that is picturesque, as connois-
seur enjoys the flavor Of fine wine.
The writer of this paper willingly
and, il you like, penitentIy-contesses
that he belongs to this class Of harm
less lOafers, who are in danger of being
accounted mere unliterary curiosity
hunters, because they put down that
which they have seen and heard, and
don't care snap for legends or any,
thing which already has been beauti-
fully described by others. To write
into a Mosaic some genial and frivol-
GUS reflections is the object of the pres
ent paper, and the author has lo high her
ambition than to dlaw by his harmless
levity smile of Satisfaction from his
bearers.
Few are the travellers who do not
hold deep in their memory, the most
beautiful spot, III their estimation the
best city, and the most awe-.n spring
scene they e,et had the opportunity to
uel,oid Tho there are many kinds of
. trav. lers, from the knight of the grip
down to tie weary boy of the dusty
road, there are more different ideas Of
the beautiful and best. An iliustra.
ton of this fact may be seen in Beth.

results in the death of the tree. The
damage would not be so serious but
for the fact that the porcupine sell

habits are nocturnal, hunting this an

of the Forest Service has been called

plans for their determination are un-

on the farm in Freeport to which they
were moving. Mr.. Peacock arrived in
Freeport Thursday with his sixth load
which consisted of farming tools and
household goods and furniture. He
was the guest Thursday night of his
cousin, Mr.. Ward. Friday forenoon
while employed about the barn fixing
place in which to put his colt when
it should arrive he thought
he would thoroughly warm and
dry out - the house which had
been long unoccupied. On a previous
trip he had built one fire so this time
he built three fires which at first did
not burn well as there seemed no
draught but afterwards appeared to
| burn all right. At noon he went to the
| house to get his coat to go to his cous-
| ms to dinner and as he opened the
kitchen door he was driven back by
the flames and could save nothing in
that direction but managed to get an
| old bureau out of the shed. On going
| round to the parlor windows he. broke
| pane of glass and got out two small
rocking chairs and a roll of stair car
| pcting In some manner Mr.. Peacock
was burned about the face and head.
| AS he did not come to dinner Mr.. Ward
started to investigate and as he near
| ed the place he saw smoke pouring
| from every part of the house. Others
came soon but could do moth
/ ing except to help save the barn. Had
| the buildings been connected that toe
would have gone. A defective chimney
was found to have been the cause The
loss is large one as there was only
$3.50 insurance on Buildings.
