The Paris Town Meeting.

As usual last week the Democrat had
two editions, the first, which went out
on the afternoon mails, giving the story OF
the forenoon session of the Paris town
meeting, while the second, for local cir,
culation, was delayed until after the
meeting adjourned. For the benefit OF
those who received the first edition, the
Democrat would say that harmonious
meeting adjourned at 2:S0. The most
important item of business at the after.
noon session was a vote to put in three
new bridges, a concrete bridge at the
foundry in South Paris, and steel bridges
above Trap Corner and at North Paris.

Monday morning at about four O'Clock
Paris Hill had its first fire in a number
of years. Bert Curtis discovered flames
issuing from around the south chimney
in the house of Miss Fannie Hammond
Miss Hammond was alone and asleep In
the house at the time, and Mr.. Curtis
aroused some of the neighbors and they
rushed in and got her out and to place
of safety. The rooms were filled with
smoke at that time. A general alarm
was at once given and most of the furni
ture saved. The house, an old fashioned
large square one, situated just south Of
the old court house, was burned to the
ground. With the inadequate means fol
lighting the flames the bucket and gar
den hose volunteer brigade did a good
piece of work in saving the stable wesl
of the house and the old court house
The stable contained twenty tons of hay
and would have made very hot blaze
The fire in some respects, came at for
tuuate time; only an hour before ths
alarm was given a high gale was blow
ing and had subsidized and still more
fortunate circumstance was the fact tina
all the neighboring roofs were covered
with snow, for shower of cinders pour
ed over them, and at times the house o
Miss Mellen, Mrs. Shows Gross Roads
and the post office building, were in som'
danger, and a cinder started a small
blaze on the roof of Hiram Rawson'
stable. The Hammond house was in
sured.

"Light.footed March, wild maid Of Spring,
Your frolic footsteps hither stray;
Smiles blent with tears will April bring
IT'S April's sentimental way
But your wild winds with laughter ring,
While young and OLD you will obey;
moment here then on the wing,
Coquettish March, what games you play"
Loud trumpeter of SPRING.
Blowing the wintry notes
From out the tune OF things,
That warmer tones may float
Through music's honeyet realm.
Soon to thy blare so bleak,
The Hower-hutes shall reply,
And up and down their stems
Sing forth their leafnotes green.
Then shall the cello bees
Buzz into unison
With piccolo Of bird,
While zephyrs draw the bow
Der strings Of twig and bough,
M king sweet violins
OF all the budding trees.
Blow, trumpterl blow out
The frozen chords of sound.
Blow In the warmth, the life,
The harmonies of heat"
