g°t Mr. Johnson, salesman in Mr. Har-
pold’s store to come up, and on opening
the .'oor of Maj Morgan’s office found
a hole burnt through the floor. Three
buckets of water thrown in it extin
guished the fire, but the water broke
through the plusterirg aud damaged
the goods bvlow to the amount of about
one hundred dollars. The fire is
thought to have originated from the
burning of a wooden spittoon filled

by the stump of a cigar thrown ia it-

proposes to give thorough instruction

orders for twelve—from the counties of

That something in the air—“Say,

Editok Courier—Please stop my pa

We took from t 'e postoffice lastSatur
day morning a postal card wth the fore
going written on it. It had neither the
name of the writer nor ths office at
which lie receives his pa^er. Nor was
the card stamped with the name of th-
postoffice at which it was mailed. If
he will let us know who he is, and thf
office to which his paper goes we will
discontinue the paper. O 'r subscriber
has our sympathy in his affl clion, and
the fact that he stuck to the Courier
until he got too blind to read only
tends to increase our regard for him.
And in this connection it, perhaps,
will not be amiss to refer again to the
necessity of subscribers who desire any
change whatever in regard to their pa
pers giving their names and postoffice-
in their communications.

That Terrible Scgnrge,
Fever ana ague, and its congener,
bilious remittant, besides affections of
the stomach, liver and bowels, produced
by misasmaiic air and water, are both
-radicated and prevented by the U3e of
Host-tier’s Stomach Bitters, a purely
vegetable elixir, indorsed by physicians,
and more extensively used as a remedy
tor the above class of disorders, as well
as for many others, than any medicine of
the age. A languid circulation, a torpid
state of the liver, a want of vital stamina,
are conditions peculiarly favorable to
malarial diseases. They are, however,
surely remedied by the great Preventive,
which, by invigorating the system and
endowing it with regularity as well as
vigor, provides it with a resistant power
which enables it to withstand disorders
uot only of a malarial type, but a host of
others to which feeble and ill regulated
systems are subject. The Bitters are a

How to Pat Oat a Fire.
Some readers who l.ve in neighbor*
hoods where no steam fire engines re
spond to tue fire alarm, may learn much
from this communication to the Portland
Press:
One gallon of water at the bottom of
a fire will do more to quench it than ten
gallons at the top. Play low is the true
motto of firemen. If the first engine
that reached the Summer street fire in
Boston had hurst iuto the warehouse and
played iuto the goods elevator, where the
fire b oke out, it would probably have
saved fifty millions of dollars.
To play on the roof of a house on fire
is to waste water; the roof was made t«
shed water; the rain does not pul out
the kitchen fire, nor would the Peuobscot,
flowiug bodily O'- the roof, put out the
kitchen fire. x L'i
Play low, get the water to the bottom
of the fire, and you need not pour in the
Penabscot.
A few gallons at tiie bottom of the fire
will rise in clouds of steam whenever the
fire is rising, and will quench it. Ev. n a
heap of ruobish turns rain and water
like a partial roof. ' A gill of water
thrown into the bottom of a grate
quenches the fire more than a quart
thrown on top.. , f“ ; T F. j
Fora similar reason, water on the
windward side is more effective Than on
leeward; I am speaking now of a mod
erate fire, when there are only one or two
houses burning. The big blazes oo the
leeward look fearful, but they cannot be
affected by playing on them. Throw
your water into the bed of the coals under
the retort that is sucking them, and it
goes out. That is to say, play at the
bottom of the windward side of the fire,
and you take the surest aud speediest way
to quench the whole, leeward size blazes
included.

The Birth of Mather Shipton.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The so-called prophecy of Mother
Shipton is one of the clever frauds per
petrated several years ago. In 1862
Charles Hind ley, of Brighton, England,
published what he said was a reprint
of an old edition of Mother Shipton’s
pieces, hut has since acknowledged that
the “wonderful prophecy” and some
other pieces in the book were written
by him at that time. This prophecy,
which originally was claimed to have
been written in 1488 and repnblihsed
in 1641. was first wrought out of the
brain of Mr. Hindley iu 1S62. Who
Mother Shipton really was is not known.
It is probable such a woman lived
about 148S, but nothing but tradition is
known of her. The prophecy is not
worth reprinting, as it runs the circuit
of the press every year or two.

A Wonderful Boy.
A newsboy, leaning against a lamp-

“Guess I was! Why, before I was
seven years old I could take the family
clock all to pieces I”
“Could you?” exclaimed the lad, his
eyes sparkling with admiration as the
man passed on. He got a new
brace for his feet, indulged iu some
hard thinkmg, and all at once spoke
up.
“What a fule I am, that I didn’t sass
him! Any fule of a boy kin take a
clock to pieces, but it takes a man, anti
purty smart one, to get the wheels
together agin! I’m jist as discouraged

Among the many virtues of the eu

places have been made compaaratvely
dry by planting trees of this species
upon them, although this method cf

ertes are as wonderful as the blue gum.
It is the rain tree of Peru ; it is said that
moisture drops from its leaved aud
branches all the time, and that in some
substances the ground around it becomes

facts that by a use judicious of these tre-s

A short time ago a sedate-looking
oung man of five mid twenty Walked
into the Central station and said:
I was sitting in a saloon down here
in piece, minding mv own business,
aying nothing to nobody, when a big
allow with a double chin walked up
and spit on my head.”
“Did, eh ?’’ queried the captain,
“Yes; and then he said he begged
my pardon—thought my head was a
wood box ”
And what did you say ?”
Why, I didn’ say nothing, but I’ve
been thinking it over, and there’s a
deep mystery about the transaction.”
“He didn't think your head was a
wood box—he meaut to insult you,”
replied the captain.
“That’s just what I think,” replied
the young man. ‘’Wood boxes are al
ways square, while my head is round,
and I don’t believe he could make such
mistake,” and the youug man went
out musingly.
