NRARDY A FIRE.L-On Thursday night of last week, Mr. Alexander Bossen- berry and family, of this township, went to visit at a neighbor's. lJpon re-. turning home they were not a little alarmed on entering their house to find it full of smoke. On closer investi- gation they found that a large hole had. already been burned in the floor and the wall adjoining the stove. With one little exertion the fire was extin- guished. Had Mr. and Mrs. Bossen- berry remained. a few minutes longer the fire would have gained sach head- way as to be beyond control. It seems that before going away, thinking every- thing perfectly secure, they.built a good. fire in the parlor stove so the house would be warm and comfert- able on their return, and it is supposed that the stove became so hot that it set fire to some of the mats on the floor near it. As it is, Mr. Bossenberry has to congratulate himself, that his family are not now homeless.

A PECULIAR Misnap.-A few days ago an elderly retired resident of the Brown - son Line undertook the responsibility of taking out a eauple of old ladies for a pleasure drive. Having comfortably seated himself as driver, with the women in the rear of the sleigh, he set out on his way rejoicing. All went " merry as a raarria„ae bell" for =a time, but go -nag rather suddenly over a knovrl, the fastenings of • the hind seat gave way, and lo 1 and behold, the greatest catastrophe of the 19th century took place without his knowledge. The women'Were plungedin the snow to. their necks. They shouted. at the top of their voices for a retreat, but the old gentleman, who is very dull of hearing, and being bent on a "fast time," still drove on. A number of the neighbors., seeing the mishap, 'started through the snow in pursuit, some being barefooted and others having shoes, but soon gave up the chase. The old. gentleman, ar- riving at his journey's end, looked over his shoulder, saying: "Kitty, you may get out now ;" but, alas 1. poor Kitty and. Marrilla, too, were now far out of hear- ; nig, he having driven the distance of two miles without- being aware of the calamity. Nothing daunted, however, he turns round. to " seek for that which was lost," saying to himself as he did so, "Was there ever a man- pested women like me." Returning home he finds his "company" but little the worse of their upset, only one of thena being the least injured. -Just arrived at the Oak Hall Cloth- ing Establishment, the celebrated Chris- ty Hat in square and. round crown ; also the latest novelties in American Hats, both stiff and soft, at lower prices than ever.
