AN IMPRovEMENT.-Duri the past week
Mr.. Christopher Haskell, on the west side,
has commenced demolishing the old barn on
his home place. He proposes to remove the
old structure, grade its present site, and at
some future time to move his dwelling house
several feet to the rear. The unroOfng of
tins old barn gave rise to the report current
last Tuesday, that the barn had been struck
by lightning. Somebody over anxious to see
Webster news in print, furnished a statement
to that effect to the Worcester Spy, which
was published in that paper Wednesday morn
ing, and has been since copied by the dailies
throughout the state Webster Times.
