vKRGESSEs. Friday evening the dwelling
house and contents. together with an old
barn adjoining. belonging to Lewis Geror.
were destroyed by FIRE. The property was
insured in the Vermont Mutual for l,27o.
The fire was first discovered in smal! shed
attached to the House. The family were
all absent, Excepting the owner. Louis
Geror who was at home. At half past ten
the daughter left home and there were then
no signs of fire. At twelve o'clock the
alarm of fire was given and the various
hose companies we're promptly on hand. Out
owing to defective hydrant could not get
water on in time to save the property. The
house was an old one. which had bsen
lately repaired, and the barn was COM
paratiy.ly worthless 1t is generally
thought the amount OF insurance Is more
than the whole property was worth.

sources, builds for himself home with
surroundings OF taste and comfort whicn
mi,ht satisfy the ambition of the most
fastld,ous. it may well challenge our m1st
thoughtful scrutiny. With no brilliant
qualification, he was quiet, seli-oontalned,

Az INTERESTING CASE. An interesting
case before the last term OF the Rutland
County Court was the suit OF the heirs o!
the late William E. Kimball, Of Sock
bridge, against Abby L. Kimball to annul
her marriage with Kimbsll on his death
bed on the ground that his mind was un-
round when it occurred. Abbie l.. Rinni-
son, a woman about 40 years old. had lived
with Kimball most Of the time for the last
eight years, ostensibly as his housekeeper-
On the 3lst Of August Kimball had stroke
Of paralysis. and September 81 be va. SO
much worse that Miss Kinnison summoned
all his children home. The same night,
about 10 o'clock and before the children
had come, a minister was called and the
cour le were married For week kImbsll
improved slightly and then had stojnd
shock and died. The heirs didn't learn OF
the marriage till alter his death. and noS
bring this proceeding to keep the widow
out Of her dOwry, the property amount
lng to about 5000. There Wa
much conflicting testimony at the trial,
but Il was shown that kimball sent for a
License and clergyman, told the latter
what be wanted, and made the usual re-
sponees for the ceremony; that the next
morning he asked the 9ars0n to pray, AMI
told som. one, who asked how he was. tn At
he was we'll enough to pick out a vile.
HIS children swear that from ruesdAy TIL
his death they could not understand word
he said. that they believed his mind Wa
wandering and that be didn't recOeL A. airy
Of them. " itntss swOre that the widow
was a woman Of bad character. and that she
had two Husbands before she married KIM
| ball. and most of them intimsted that they
supposed she was living with kImball a.
his mistress. though counsel on both slGes
avoided that point. Not the least interest
was created by the defendant herself, who
| appeared hsbited in neat black. with no
/ color or ornaments. and conducted herself
! throughout 10 a most refLed and lady like
manner, listening to the evidence against
her character with the utmost compOsure,
She closed the case by taking the stand her
self and swearing that she had been engaged

/ had postponed 1t many times when he WAS
/ ready. and that the final marriage was en-
