Fifteen years ago he ran a laree hotel in Utica and then Mr. Jackson managed hia business for him. Lately he has been an agent for some mercantile interests.

At this critical moment a friend of the family came in, found the flames rapidly spreading over the room and the old man turning round in the middle of the floor m a completely dazed and bewildered condition. By prompt and well directed efforts he finally succeeded in getting the fire under control, without starting any gen eral alarm, but several articles of bed cloth ing, a mattress and other things were par tially burned and the walls badly scorched, while the old man was frightened almost out of his wits.
