The fre had gained quite a lead and it was thought at one time that it would be impossible to save the . .building. It started in a closet up-, .derneath the stairway and had burn­ ed through to the upstairs doing- considerable damage to the ceiling and "roof. It is supposed to have started from a cloth that Mrs. Ker­ nick,had. used to wipe off the. stove­ in the morning and which had" been smouldering for some time.- Mrs. Kernick was* visiting at a neighbors, at the time.

There has been a splendid sheet of ice on the pond in Mr. (Skinner’s gravel pit in Usborne and some of the boyS have made good use of it. it whs none too safe, however, and a few’ experienced a soaking fta they we^ through.
