ZCORDS of the ancient city Georgeana, founded in 1640, better known at the present time as York Harbor, Me., contain} many quaint and unusual stories of the early life of the town.

For lighting fires in the range this page would answer nicely, and it certainly would be hot enough to burn without a match. H. C. Dooce © Montelair, N. J., March 13, York ning Post.
