 Hall Fire Distinguished.
 The grange was desirous of giving its guests a warm welcome and came near doing it too thoroughly. The fires had been started te warm the building. Mir and Mrs. Everett Brown happened to be first to reach the hall and as re- Treatments were te be served Mrs Brown entered the supper room on the first feor and discovered that the wood of ceiling and floor of the upper hall had caught fire from an oVerheateo pipe. MT. Brown caught a pail and got water, on to the blaze as quickly as possible. Mrs. Brown got the news to the Abingdon store near by and soon there were plenty of helpers. Fortu- nately 1t was a warm night and the nearby brook was not frozen and water was easily obtained and the fire was soon extinguished. although 20 min utes' delay would probably have caused the loss of the building This would have seemed especially unfortunate, as about S400 has been expended durlng inc mast year in renoVating the build ing. Although some delay was occa- stoned. pleasant meeting followed, with nearly 100 present, and what seemed for a time quite serious had fairly lucky ending.
