The health ot this community is ver~y good at present. We are sorry to rep~ort that the dwelling house and the entire cont tents occupied1 by Mr. Jake Merck was destroyed by fiire on Jan. 25th. Mrs. Merck had gone out to teed the bogs when a broom caught fire and before she could reach the house the fire had miade such rapid headway that it was beyond con trol. She received some severe burns on her hands white trying to save a few of their things. This falls heavy on Mr. Merck and we trust that the neighborhood at large will take the matter up and help t~o place him in position to resume housekeeping in a few days. Ilost wihor to the Sentinel.
