adds two hundred dollars to the market value of a property.All owners reckon with this strange fact.Hut many put oil painting too long, or paint without putting enough brains into the choice of paint, and their property “runs down.” The paints that are made by thoughtful people/or thoughtful people are The Sherwin-Williams Paints Their makers have tried for thirty years to make the best paint—the most enduring paint.They have succeeded.Every can of The Sherwin-Williams Paints is fully covered by a guarantee, and back of the guarantee are the reputation and all the resources of the company.Y’ou

out for a tire which had broken out in the barn belonging to Mr.N.T Duasault, and sit-uited at the rear >f his house on .larket Street.Immediately the tire was dis covered an etfo t was made to rescue the eight valuable horses which were in the stable, among them being Boston Globe and Golden \\ likes.The two mentioned w ere frightened by the fast approaching apparatus and, having got released, they attackt d each other in a most vicious manne r,and their separation was attended with the great est d tlieulty.The brigade succeeded in keeping the tire confined to the hay loft.The morning was a very cold one and the firemen at times appeared on the scene covered with ice Th fire is supposed to have originated through the st >ve pipe leading ut» from the ground floor having broken and allowed the fire to escape.The building was insured for ?1,200 and the contents for $800.Mrs.Dussault served out coffee to the men, an act which was very highly appreciated.FIRE IN PELLETIER’S BLOCK.The brigade were called out yesterday morning for a fire which had broken out in Pelletier’s Black at the cormier of Bridge Street and Bowen Avenue, East Sherbrooke.On the arrival of the brigade it was found that the tire had secured a firm hold in the second floor ami was spreading rapidly from east to west.The tire broke out in an unoccupied room at the rear of the corner store and is supposed to have originated by throwing a match into a small box containing saw dust.The firemen succeeded in keeping the tire from spreading, and the damage is comparatively small.CAUGHT JUST IN TIME.At ten minutes past nine this morning an alarm was rung in from the box situated at the front of the Central School.On responding the brigade found that a tire had broken out in the dwelling house occupied by Jos.Sorel, 90 King Street.Underneath the floor the fire had caught by the stove pipe and the floor had to be torn up before the seat of the fire could be reached.With the exception of this no further damage was done.Big Fire In New York.Windsor Hotel Destroyed Loss of Life Placed Fifteen.at Spring Importation of The “Webster House,” near the Bona venture Depot, Montreal, is a good ar d
