Real Estate Changes.

Real ESIdCc ShdhSCS.
H. C. Hastings & Co. have sold the
old Lambert Hastings homestead in this
place, to Henry E. Fletcher. Mr..
Fletcher takes all the land and property
connected with the homestead, includ-
ing the ice house and ice business. 1t
is understood that PoTtus III. Smith Will
hereafter carry on the ice business.
Since Mr.. Lambert Hastings removed
to his large farm in Lunenburgh, and
the sons engaged in business at Miles's
Pond, a change of prOprietors at the
old homestead seemed inevitable-but
il seems almost like removing an old
landmark, SO long has this family been
identified with the brick house at the

A good friend in Massachusetts, who
was at their Sunday School month
ago, sent the County District" forty
well selected volumes as present to
their depleted library. A gift which
the Sunday school greatly appreciates.
This school is made up of scholars who
formerly did not attend Sunday school
anywhere. They now gather weekly
in this school house, sometimes filling
it to overlooking. Their new library
will be an additional incentive to them.

the town. Mr.. Marshall proposes to
build on these lots.

Lyndon.
The village of Lyndon narrowly es-
capped destructive fire last Friday
morning. At about five o'clock A. NJ,
fire was discovered in Chase's block.
The church bells were rung and the
people Immediately responded. The
fire was found to have originated in the
basement, near the engine in the Union
office, and was working in the partitions
toward the upper stories. 1t was diff
ficult to find the exact locality of the
fire, but by cutting into the partitions
in the upper stories and using water
freely, the fire was extinguished after a
fight of about half an hour. The build
ing was owned by Henry Chase, and
was not greatly damaged. The princi-
pal losers by the fire are McGaffey &
Newell, merchants, whose stock Of
goods was nearly all carried into the
street, and of course was considerably
damaged.

as novel as it is dramatic. A large in-
