During a severe thunder shower last Saturday afternoon, barn belonging to Mir c. H. Brittan in this village was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. As soon as the alarm WAS giy- en the hose cart was brought into action and a number of men were soon at the scene of disaster, working hard through all the pelting shower, but as the fire had caught in the hay and grain with which the barn was filled it burned rap- idly and in less than 30 minutes was in ruins. Fortunately the horses, har- ness, carriages, etc., were all saved. It was feared that Mir Brittan's house, also Mrs Wheeler's, both standing in close proximity would be burned, but by the continual playing of the hose and efforts of all present they were saved. It has been said that one of the best things the citizens of Kent ever did was to build the reservoir and lay the pipes that now supply our town with water. This fire was another instance proving it's usefulness.

A Seal Caught in a Net.

A party of fishermen engaged in draw
ing q seine for shad in the Houstonic
river at Stratford wondered when they
commenced to draw upon the ropes what
made the seine go heavy. The founder
Ing of q dark object In the center con-
vinced them that they had scoopsd in
something more bulky and vigorous than
the biggest shad or ealmon that ever
roamed the waters of the Houatonic AS
the seine was drawn in the ~founderlngs
of the unaccustomed prey and the ten
sion on the ropes made them fearful that
something would give way. But the
seine was a new n and the ropes were
strong, and everything In the net was
safely landed. Before the seine was
hauled ashore the shadders knew what
the unusual object they had caught that
time was. 1t was a seal. When he had
on being hauled ashore he displayed I'M
expected %pugnacity. Instead of showing
a disposition to get back to the water In
all haste, he reared up and began strik-
Ing vigorously at the men around him
He seemed to want to knock out all OF
his recent tormentors. The fishermen
attacked him with clubs and other
weapors as were handy, and soon dis
patched the animal.
The seal is about four and a half feet
long and weighs about $50 pounds. Its
hair is of a light color. Last spring some
of the Stratfofd shad fisherman entan.
gled q seal Ia their seine, but the animal
broke through his environment and es.
