Both the cloth and dolies are embroidered with the letters "A. P.", these being the initials of the original owner, Antoine Picquet.

Last Thursday night the residence of Mr. J. A. Vernon, situated in the suburbs of the city, on the Buford's Bridge road, was totally destroyed by fire.

Mr. Vernon was away from home that night, being down at Mr. Calvin Kentz's. Nothing was saved, the occupants of the house being fortunate to get out unhurt. The fire started in the rear portion of the house, but the cause is not known. The * house was a two-story building, and was { i insured for SI.000 in the atrencv of G.'< j Move Dickinson. There was also $200 ' ( ; insurance on the furniture. Mr. Vernon's | ] loss is several hundred dollars, which falls ] heavily upon him these hard times. i i ? r ? !
