two sons, the latter aged 14 and 16

seen a town even .so large as what

sociability in this city there were no
particularly rough pranks resorted
to by our local spirits. 5 Some mild
tricks are reported, but compared
with what was done in this city in
former years they were so tame that
sa ve to the parties directly interest

The College of Philomath was
stated to be burning when we
went to press Monday afternoon
as mentioned in our last issue.
From what is learned the fire
started from a defective flue and
at a time "when the classes were
in session. The college building
stood quite well up on a hill ai
the edge of town and in such lo
cation as gave the north wind
that was blowing at the time
every opportunity to tan the
flames. '
Aside from saving the piano
and some articles of furniture
nothing could be accomplished
run- and people were obliged to stand
idly by and watch the flames lap
up the structure. The only thing
people could do was to watch the
other buildings and see that they
did not get on fire. Philomath
has no means of protection from
fire. : '
The loss is various' v estimated
The
building was erected some twelve
on fourteen years ago to replace
a similar building which bad
been consumed by fire. We
have been informed that there
was insurance carried on the
building just burned in the sum
of about $a,6oo. What the fu

will be is not known, bit for the
