FIRES. A general call was given at
1885 last Saturday morning for fire in
the Laforest L. Robbins no use on Miller
street. The family had retired early, but
left log fire in the fireplace in the dining
room for two of their children, who were
at the Spinney dancing school, In some
way one of the logs rolled on to the floor
and burned through into the cellar, but
the return of the young people evidently
saved their home. There was little dam
age and a very fortunate escape from
serious loss.."At about noon Thursday
the out of-town call of five blasts was
sounded for brush fire at the Board
Landing. But for the timely assistance
of the firemen the residence of Harry f.

had ragged within three feet of it. IA

MRS. LEWIS 85TH BIRTHDAY. Mrs.
Sarah R. Lewis of Waldo avenue had
birthday April 10th and received lot of
cards from her neigh6ors and friends,
number of nice gifts, also quite number
of cards by mail and was pleased with
them all. Mrs. Lewis has reached the
age of IS years and is great granddaugh-
ter of John Brown, one of the early set
tiers of Belfast, and she is one of the
very few remaining of that generation.
She is also a great-granddaugh of
Henry Black, who was among the early
settlers of Stockton, and located at San
dypoint, where the family lived many
years and where her father and grand
father, both of the name James Black,
were born. The Black and >rown ia mi
lies were both originally from Scotland,
the browns belonging to the Gordon clan
and the Blacks having a family tree in
Edinburgh. Her mothers family, the
Trips, were from Kent, England, and
Mrs. Lewis has copy of the family coat
of arms, which is quite a curiosity, and,
no doubt, very interesting to one fully
versed in Heraldry. Her daughter, Mrs.
leila M. Schubert, has appreciably i'm
proved but very little since she went to
the hospital at Augusta, and her mother,
sister and friends are very anxious about
her but are still hoping she may make
more decided improvement and ultimate
ly recover her health.
They loved each other-they married
each otheI-yet a silly Jest kept them
apart
