We regret to leant that Mr. Chas K Graham had the misfortune to lose hit tore house at Cross Keys and entire stock of goods on last Saturday night bj fire. It was a total loss to him as hi . did not carry a dollar's Insurance. II seems that a hot Are had been kept in the stove all day on account or the extremely cold weather. The store wai closed about dark and in half an horn afterwards smoke was seen issuing from the building. Mr. Jesse Graham ran to the store aud broke the door in but the fire had gained such headway that the smoke and b^aze drove him and othri friends who had come up, out of the building and it was impossible to get iu to save anything Lt is supposed the Are caught from the stove flut.

EditorOn Friday, Feb. 14th, ' without any special preparations, as it appeared, snow began falling thick and fast and ere long the groand wu covered. Seventy-flve school children had to wend th?ir way homeward along the snow clad-road. It would seem a phenomena that while we may see the beautiful snow flakes thus falling there ii ' a clime where at that time no threaten ? ing clouds hide the brilliant sun and the > air is warm and pleasant. But we hav< become accustomed to it and let them pass, frequently, unnoticed, i It would seem that the sentiment it , not favorable for summer schools. 1 have preiouvsly said that tke monej ' could be more wiselv snent. There ?r? 11 apbooU alreaUj established which m*j I WWU1IDIO wui^ioub U) UiStillOl Id a general way. In each school dis trict if there were one school which continued for eight or nine months it would be an improvement on the present system, or increase the salary of thoet already employed whieh would stimulate > the teacher's interest. Neither should > there be "free books" for children, compulsory education would supply the do ficiency in this particular. Parents and : children, as a rule, do not appreciate tlx . books which they buy individually, and if the State furnished them they wsuld have less care along this line. Privat* schools have come to be a back number i people waiting for the publio. They Ux woukl wait for books. In my school oi sixty-seven pupils enrolled the parent ? have bought seventy-flve books, showing t that people can do something if inter r ested. Provisions are more soaros thai . I have seen during my stay here, sevei sessions, hut msre books have oome ii than ever duri ng the history of the school f Nature is so ai ranged that ws oaa ge seme things which we need.

On Friday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock a fine mist of sncw began falling. From the smallness of the Hakes one would have judged that it would hardly be enough to show on the ground, but in an incredibly short space of time the ground was almost covered and there was a regular down pour of the fleecy Hakes. The , ground being partially frozen, the snow of a dry nature, did not melt but kept piling faster and thieker. About dark it had reached a depth of two to two and a half inches. During the afternoon it came down so thick that the lineman of the Bell Telephone Company who were at the top of the poles stringing , the wires could not see each other from ; pole to pole and the work had to be sur: ponded. i The snowfall slacked up about nighti fall but began again during the night ; with redoubled energy and came down t apparently in sheets until Saturday morni ing. Several measurements were taken i in different sections of the town ranging from 11| to 13A inches on a level. Our i measurement in three plaees in the yard f showed 11 7-8. Capt. Dick Johnson i and some other gentlemen took the measure on the top of a large d ry goods i box which stood in the open and the [ snow on it was 13$ inohes deep. This r ought to be a fair test as it was impos> sible to have been a drift, r We understand that a measurement t was taken a few miles from town out in an open Held and the depth was 11} - inches. I This was the heaviest snow that has > fallen in this section iu nearly thirty i years. In 187 vl a snow fell to the dept.li i of something over 18 inches, in 1880 a I snow fell to the depth of 11} inches and we have had several since ranging from 6 to 10 inches. I There was very little evidence of the i snow melting Satuiday or Sunday Mote I snow fell Sunday but it was very scatterl ing and lasted only a short while. ? There was a force of hands on the side , walks Saturday shoveling oft 1 he snow > and where the drain should be there was f a great embankment of snow i hat had 9 been thrown from the sidewalks. In I some places where the snow had drilled - it was waist deep. i Several sleds were tigged up and quite i a number of ladle# and men went sleigh a riding. The children took gieat delight . in pelting every party that pass d It t was like tunning the gauntle t on w nv of the streets and the sleighing pari it s t were usually covered with snow whei li they escaped frcin the line of childrei j with snowbdls. The snow wemed t< r make ever yone remember their chiklhoor e days and there was considerable snow balling all over town, very little busbies I. could be done, of course, and the clerk embraced the opportunity of harlnj n some fun. i. There were tciy few in from th ? country Saturday, the farmers evident!; preferring to remain at home arouni id their great log Ores rather titan puttini >f their teams through such a snow to gf f. to town, and do one can blame them If a big snow is evidence of a good graii . rear we advise on* fanners to go to bnild Up mv baroa to store their grain in. \^f B9 Extra u n shar.
