Upwards of year ago the Crystal Knife company of Hartford bought the property and have been for months getting the place in shape for the rapid production of their goods New machinery was added, spe- cally adapted for the purpose and of much value. Manufacture had been going on for some time, and the company had, also, Q great amount of unfinished stock on which they have kept men busy completing
 The buildings were entirely destroyed by fire yesterday. The whole village and the neighboring hillsides were brilliantly illu~ minated by the confagration.
