From Bovina. A Bovina correspondent writes:
If you would enjoy seeing and admiring the beauties of nature, call at J.G. Thomson’s, Bovina Centre, and there you will see the most beautiful tree it has ever been my privilege to see. It is a large tree resembling the English Hawthorn, only more beautiful. The clusters of double pink and red nearly covers the green foliage, while a background of evergreen balsam makes it still more beautiful.

• The Methodist parsonage had a narrow escape from destruction by fire Tuesday. That morning Mrs. Gladstone went away visiting and when Mr. Gladstone came home at night he discovered the fire in the back kitchen and it was getting under good headway and in fifteen minutes more it would have been beyond control. The supposition is that a coal must have gotten out on the floor and smouldered all day but had no air to help it along. The floor was burned through and also some of the woodwork around the window. Some tin dishes hanging on the other side of the stove had the solder melted off and the handles remained hanging. The building was insured in the town Insurance Company and the loss was adjusted at about $22. Mr. Gladstone’s loss has not yet been adjusted.
