- D - Some time ago, the Corporation made a


surestion that the district and parish comi- cils should .-subscribe towards the cost of a jifcyr lire engine which could be sent into jiiv of the suriouiKling townsJups in case of energenev. Altliough it was pomted out ,1,31


proji’erty in the town must be safe-


marded, and that tlie authority would not mmiit the Clithcroe engine to go outsidt a certain radius, the idea was not enter' tilled, mid nothing has since been heard of the proisisal.


A correspondent in ihe " Accrington


Observer” says; “Country life has its de­ lights for the townsman. No one appreci­ ates its joys more than 1 do. It also Inw its trials and tribulations. Wasps, for iir Stance,—scores and hundreds of them— "not ^ g le spies, but in battalions.” As I thmk I ’ve told you before, 1 abominate wasps. They're a constant menace to a to a, poor, unoffending individual like my­ self. Well, I ’ve been in the country for a day or two, and one >f the outstanding im­ pressions 1 have brought away is—'wasps, those buzzing, stinging, prying, all-perva­ ding insects that simply haunt day by length I and threaten at every moment to mark you for the idctim of their malicious enterprise. -jij ^vorse at meal times.

— D— What we lack in that direction we more


than make up for in the prevalence of 'flies. “Kill that fly” is the dictum of those most learned in the preservation of the public health. The “British Medical Journal' has been discus-sing flies and their capture and .among other things it says: Good sticky fly-papers will do some­ towards

of isolated places. I'lie brigade were seiit ^ for at 3 p.m., but the Superhitendent trould 1


not go on his own initiative, nor would the Chairman of the Fire Engine Committee give lus consent. Word was sent to the tire Hation about 5 p.m. that the owner of the farm would indemnify the Corporation, and, in the siijieriiuendeiits absence, the brigade w.is iummoiied, but was not permitted to go to the ^celle of the outbreak. It was uii- (onunatc for the tenant of the fann,_ Mr. H. Parkinson, and for Colonel Aspinall, the owner, with whom everyone will sym­

K'le, as chairman of the committee, might have taken the responsibility upon himself of straining a iwint, seeing that Colonel Aspiiiall has already entered into an agree­ ment for certain specified property; but t e detentunation of the Council that the regu- ations .shall be adhered to is evidenced by the fact that the Chairman is not even al­ lowed dwiretionary power


— D— It is not iiideiimiiy which tlie Council


seek. What iliey desire, and what the ratepayers demand, is preparedness in ca.se of a conflagration in the tovvn, hence the piVposal U.I the other authorities to contri­ bute to the cost of a second enguie.

cured the appointment of a sub-committee to consider a revision of the scale of sal­ aries for teachers. The question is, not so much as to the scale which other authonues pay, but whether Clitheroe te ase rs are paid a fair living wage. Comparisons with s'li'h large towns as Blackburn and Bunuev are scarcely within the mark, because there ate exceptional circuin.stances in Clitheroe which do not operate in other towns. ^For Uistance. the chairman of the committee staieil that three schorls would .serve loca requirements, so that there is bound to be ODnsiderable leakage somewhere. AloennM Roberts hit the nail in the head when he moved that an inquiry also be made into the cost of education per scholar, in CB- theroe as compared with several other ■leighbcmring towns.

DEATH OF AN OUD CLITHERONIAN.


SOME RECOLLECTIONS OE THE ROAD.


The death of Nlr. John Keys, at the


house of ids daughter, Mrs. Speight, 3, Peel street, occurred on Friday last, and was not miexpected, as he had, for about a wedk’s time, been dechning in health. Deceased, who attained his 8Ith year on the l()th April last, was an exceedingly well-known man and regained his faculties in an unusual degree almost to the last, and stood erect as a soldier. There were few men better known in the old coaching days than “Jack Heys,” as he was familiarly called, and hia death may be regarded as the snapping of one of the last Enks con- neotiiig the old borough with the renowned coacltiiig days. To speak of his early days was ever his deUght. As to the place of his birth he could not tell with certainty He knew tiiat he .lad been “reared” at Storth, near Newton, but was unable to say whether Slaidburn or Newton was his nat've village. In his earlier days he was ostler at the


Swan Inn, WEallley, then kept by Mr. R. Towler, who afterwards removed to the Swan Inn, Clitheroe, taking with him his ■servant “Jack.” Mr. Towler was contract­ or for the mail gig through Whalley to Blackburn.


Jack afterwards drove the


m.'ul coach and took p.as.sengers, the maxi­ mum number being 10. At one time, he rode postillion, and wore white breeches and red jacket. When driving the mall coach through to Blackburn, he had some trouble with the keeper of the Btowiihill Bar, near tlie Bull'.s Head, Blackburn. The toll keeper demanded a shilling for the passengers and declared he would not let the passengers through if Jack did not pay the shilling. At last, after much ado. Jack paid the amount but .said he wotfld pay d no more. He saw Mr. Dixon Robin.son, of the Castle, who at hat tame was clerk to the Blackburn Turnpike Trust, about it, and .Mr. J. Hornby, limber merchant, along ■with Mr. Robinson looked into the affair and ordered the toll keeper to refund the shilling. Mr. Heys was at one time valet to Captain Whitle, of MTiaVley Abbey. There were many striking incidents in his career which, however, have been’ previou; ly published in our columns.


FARM FIRE AT MYTTON. A tEsastrous fire occurred y.esterday, at


Higher House Farm, Mytion, tenanted by Mr. Henry Parkinson. The outbreak was discovered m the barn about 2-15 p.m and so fierce was the heat that a portion of the roof fell in shortly afterwards. The Clitheroe Fire Brigade was summoned, ■hut, owing to the regulations, was not per­ mitted to go, and Councillor Whiteside, chairman of the Fire Eng'me Comm'ittee, w.as placed in a very invidious position when the siren was blown and the firemen were summoned' about 5 o’clock, on the representation of Nlr. Cox, agent to Colonel


Aspinall.


It was most unfortunate both for the tenant and Vtic owner of 'ihe property that the brigade could not proceed. In the mean­ time. willing helpers, superintended by Inspector Young and P.S. Chiney had got to W'Ork with buckets, their efforts on “le roof being supplemented by Mr. Cox, Mr. AVestbv and others. There was an ample supply of water, and the number of helpers increased extensively as the afternoon wore on. The heat from the burning hay was terrific, and the bam and its contents, together with the sffiWe and shippons were consumed. The e^ r ts to .save the house and the .portion of the barn adjenning, were successful, though tlm


, , . ,


fire is still smouldering. The a ^ n t m hav destroyed is said to be about 'TOO yardSs.


Bashall Eaves. The Wesleyans at Bashall Eaves cele­


brated the amiiversary of their .school last Sunday, when, despite the showery weather, the services were well a.‘ended, especially in the evening. The preacher for the day was the Rev. F. Taylor, whose visits are always appreciated, and he gave two thoughtful discourses appropriate to tlie


occasion. A feature of the semces was the singmg . .

week, no mention was made of the tug of war competitions. In the heavy weights, there were six teams entered, four of which pulled. In the first round Bolton beat Gds- burn, and Sawley beat Downham, winning the final. In the light weights, to re were six entries but only three pulled, Bolton beating Gisburn and' Newtolme. It will be seen that Bolton-by-Bowland won both in the light and heavy weights, and this easily, as they were never pulled over


the mark. The North-Western section of the Co­

TOPICAL CRITICISMS. (From “London Opinion.”


In Wales the strike followed closely upon


the Eisteddfod. First the harp and then the loot.


It is, of course, comforting that the male


wasp does not sting. Therefore, the way to tell the sex of one on the back of your neck is to wait and! see.


Ladies at American watering-places have


taken to shopping m their bathing-suite. TTiis attire seems equally adapted to thoee who are in low water and and those who are able to plunge.


“Thanks to the loyalty of our service, '


said a raiJtvay manager the other day, "hun­ dreds 'Of Britishers last week left Ibenr native land safely.” He might have added


—“and gladly.” A Viennese wife, wishing to get rid of


her husband, placed' dynamite in h>s clothes. Henpecked husbands will earnest­ ly hope that this drastic method of blowing- up will not be followed generally.


To effect a theft of Government stores,


a certain town councillor, it is alleged, tried to stuff a coastguard officer with a plausible tale, and offered him a fat duck. The officer was not taking either the duck or the stuffing.


Referring to the masterpiece missmg


from the Louvre, a writer says that the smile upon the face of iMbnna Lisa is Ac most beautiful in the world. Not more beautiful, perhaps, than that upon the face of the chap who got away with the plunder.


One of the worst features of the late


strike is that it will be used as an excuse for unpunctual trains for months to come.
