 What was known as the "Shinehan" block, but lately occupied by Peter Boufford, was burned to the ground Monday forenoon It is not known who gave the place to the flames, but all effort on the part of Fire Captain Wm. Park and his lieutenant, J. Gagne, to save this valuable" property proved fruitless. We wish it had been otherwise since the place gave so much dignity CD to the Hollow. Citi- zens of Stafford Hollow beware of fire flies.
