! SOUTH LONDONDERRY.
Tuesday and Wednesday OF last week
were the coolest days of the season in this
place. Mercury ranging from 209 to az
below zero. On Tuesday morning the
village was aroused by the alarm of fire,
which originated from some defect about
the chimney in the dwelling house of
Thomas Farnum. BY demolishing two
or three partitions and the application of
few pals of water the progress of the
fire was arrested. Prompt action was all
that saved the building from being con-
sumed as the wind was blowing gale at
the time.
There is prospect now that we are
to have a cheese factory. Mr.. II. G. Wick
ham, of Pawlet, proposes that il the cid-
zens will put up a building, the estimated
cost of which is $500, he will put in the
necessary machinery and run it for five
years paying the stockholders 10 per cent
on their investment. 81 200 has already
been subscribed, and we hope our farmers
will not overlook their own interests so
much as to LEI this opportunity pass of
having cheese factory aud man Of
practical experience to run il.
