were burned to the ground Saturday noon.
The fire started in the barn. 1t is sup
posed that it was set by children who
we're playing there.
The house was occupied by Willie Rolfe
and Cyrus Whitaker with their families.
Owing to lack OF water, it was impossible
to check the fire in the barn and save the
house, but by quick work 1early every
thing in the house was saved. There was
no insurance.

Lord Ferrers' Tragic Journey to the

seems as if the gallows-described in
an old document as movable-at one
time stood at its east corner. 1t was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hanged in 1860 for numbering his serv-
ant.
Horace Walpole's words paint the
picture well: HE shamed heroes. He
bore the solemnity of pompous and
tedious procession of above two hours
from the Tower to Tyburn with as
much tranquility as II he were only
going to his own burial. not to his own
execution" And when one of the ORA
goons Of the procession was thrown
from bis horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said. Il hope there
will be no death today but NINE"

about 1t sufficient to make its progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
