Crowded out iLast week.
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.
