The fourth alarm of fire at the Vile
since last January came at $50 last
Saturday evening and was caused by
the burning of barn owned by Mrs.
Hazel. 1t was at first thought that the
dwelling house must burn, and it was
cleared of it's contents, including doors
and windows, but a shed between the
house and barn was torn down and the
wood therein mostly removed, and by
this means the house was saved. The
burning barn was but few feet dis
tant from the large barn of Charles
Miller. In the successful effort made
to save Mr.. Miller's barn, Curtis Hilps
face and hands were badly blistered
by the heat. Mrs. Hazel was away
from home at the time of the fire and
we do not learn whether she was in
sured. The origin of the fire is I'M
known.

Obituary.
Mr.. Lyman F. Dewey, aged nearly
80 years, died at his residence in Bar
ton on Monday, Aug. IL. Mr.. Dewey
was native of Piermont, N. H., from
which place he moved to Waterford,
VT, when about twenty years of age.
He resided in Waterford most of the
time until 1869, when he moved to
Lyndonville to remain until 1877, when
he went to Barton. He married Miss
Laura Kline of Waterford in 1923, and
his wife survives him. Mr.. Dewey was
long actively engaged in business. be-
ing good mechanic and a thorough
farmer, and participated largely in the
affairs of his own town. Hiram K.
Dewey, cashier of the Barton National
bank, is we believe, his only child.

N. P. Bowman, being the owner of two
or three parcels of land in Island Pond,
and piece of land in Charleston,
mortgaged them all to Col. Frederick
Fletcher, of st. Johnsbury, as security
for loan of $1,000. Among the par
GELS in Island Pond was lot of land
owned by Isaac Dyer, but upon which
Major B. had obtained tax sale. In
January, 1867, the Major sold several
parcels of real estate, conveying to
Isaac Dyer the lot of land of which
Dyer was the actual owner. In Feb
ruary following he sold the Charleston
lands to one VIM. M. Cargill, and a
piece of about fourteen acres in Bright
on to Mr.. LadOit Farmer; in Novem-
Der of the same year, another parcel of
land to D. s. Storrs, Esq. All these
purchasers unless it may be Isaac
Dyer paid the full value for their pur-
chases, even at the inflated prices of
1867, depending entirely upon Major
Bowman's representation that the lands
were unencumbered, the major having
forgotten the existence of the mortgage
(as he now says.) Eleven years later,
and most of the lands had changed
owners, some of them many times;
houses had been built thereon, farms
were cleared, etc., when Col. Fletcher,
who all this time had remained perfect
ly quiet, suddenly wanted his money
and has taken proceedings to foreclose
his mortgage. Of course the land and
betterments are worth very much more
than the mortgage, and one great ques-
ton to be determined was the share
of the mortgage to be paid by each.
This has been done we think to the
satisfaction of all the parties.

SEARCH FOR A MISSING MAN.-Last
Tuesday a party of about one hundred
men and boys assembled in order to
search for Moses Hunter, an insane pei
son, who had been missing for about n
week previous, and was supposed to be
hiding in the woods about Holmes
mountain. Hunter served in the late
war, and became insane while in the
army. He has lived ut the house of
James Hunter, his brother, who takes
care of him, and this is not the first
time he has attempted to escape by
running away and hiding in the woods.
The party made thorough search Of
the mountain, but without result. The
search was continued, however, until
Thursday, when he was found in a very
exhausted condition near the railroad
track in Groton.

OUTWITTING 4 LION.

Captain Aylward tells IA droll story of
rencontre between Bushman and a
lion. The narrator was acquainted with
the man, and has no doubt of the truth of
the story. The Bushman while long
way from his home, was met by a lion
The animal, assured that he had his victim
completely in his power, began to sport
and daily with him with feline jocosity
which the poor little Bushman failed to
appreciate. The lion would appear at Il
point in the road and leap back again into
the Jungle to reappear again little far
ther on But the Bushman did not lose
his presence of mind. and presently hit
upon device by which he might possibly
outwit his foe. This plan was suggested
by the lions own conduct. Aware that
the brute was ahead of him, he lodged to
the right, and, feeling pretty sure of the
lions whereabouts resorted to the course
of quietly watching his movements.
When the lion suddenly discovered that
the man had disappeared from the path,
he was good deal perplexed. He roared
with modification; when he espied the
Bushman peeping at him over the grass.
The Bushman at once changed his posi-
ton. while the lion stood irresolute i'm the

brute was at first confused. and then alarm

that he had mistaken the position of mat
terS. and that he was the hunted party.
The Bushman who clearly recognized
what WAS passing in his enemy mind, did
not pause To let the lion recover his star
tied wits. He began to steal toward the
foe who, now in Il complete state of doubt
and fear, fairly turned tail and decamped.

MUSICALE

Mr. stephen Grover of Boston, will con
tinue his visits to Augusta and vicinity, as hereto
fore from time to time to tune and repair pilnoores
or to put them in complete order, when the occasion
de .nands, at prices proporionate to the amount OF
work required without the necessity ofmoyng them
from the house. The subscriber, being maker of
pano-fortes and formerly manufacturer in Bos-
ton and lately six years in the nanuiactory of Mes
srs. Chickerng & Sons, enables him to present to
the musical public entirely different class of work
than has been heretofore introduced. Therefore, If
your piano has become demoralizcd or seemingly
used up, il be- made good as new i'll tone, action
and durability. BY improving this opportunity you
will have a musical instrument worthy OF Its name,
instead of that imperfect one with which YOU are en-
deavoring to entertain yourself and friends. Orders
loft with /. c. HovEY 4 Son, Music Dealers will he
attended to At an early date. The patronage OF the
musical public is respectfully solicited.
