Harmon Allen's house had a narrow escape from fire Friday night. 1" ire caught in an out building demolishing that and the wood shed, right in the rear of the house. No insurence. The cause of the fire was a careless ueposite of hot ashes. The Crazy social in the parlors of the Baptists church last Friday evening was a grand success, many of the ladies being dressed in rich but fantastic costumes. The Menu was very toothsome and beautifully served by colored waiters who deserve a vote of thanks forthe marnier in which their part of the programme was carried out. House cleaning "has arrove" we guess for we noticr that some of the Milan swain wear woe-begone countenances and the ladies step with a decided air as they flourish their brooms and scrubbing brushes, while dressed in costumes consisting of "Antediluvian" skirts, linen coats and masculine hats, hair banged all over their heads and faces powdered with stove po'ish. But when the war is over, all will he serene'y beautiful, homes clean and people happy.'
