II in favor of the Hyde Parkers. The
boys brought bone with them ball

The barn on the Smalley place, on
the Centre road, was burned early
Sunday evening. The fire was not
discovered until it was too late to save
anything. There were in the barn
five or six tons of hay, a lot Of straw,
$50 sap tubs, and a threshing machine,
the horse power of which was new.
The loss is estimated at between six
hundred and seven hundred dollars.
Insurance, S2S5. The cause of the
fire is unknown, but is supposed to be
the work of an incendiary. The loss
falls heavily on Moses Newcity, who
had bought the farm recently. He is
q hard working man and was striving
hard to pay for the same. The thresh-
ing machine was the property Of
Elmer Smalley.
A few years ago sum of money
was raised at an entertainment for the
purpose of purchasing street lamps
for the village. Seven lamps were
purchased with the money and six of
them were left at different points, the
parties where they were left saying
they would light and take care of
them. The other was for the church,
to be used when services or entertain
ments took place on dark evenings.
For few months everything was
lovely, lamps were regularly lighted
and properly taken care of. There
was no danger of falling into mud
holes or tumbling over lumber piles
and heaps of stones. But, alas, the
died out, and now not
single lamp is lighted and nobody
seems TO know why they are not. Let
them be got out these dark evenings.
Let us be public spirited in this mat
ter, if in no other.
