The Soldiers Home.


General William Wells, president of
the board of trustees of the proposed
soldiers home, was here Friday. The
other members of the committee ap-
pointed to examine the various sites
for the home were not present but Col.
Franklin Fairbanks and Gen. HI. X.
Ide conducted Gen. Wells over the
town and number of the proposed
locations were examined. The feeling
of the trustees seems to be very favor
able to st. Johnsbury and the home
may yet be secured for this place.
The location here, all things consider
ed, is much better than the one pro-
posed at Bennington and much will
depend upon the condition of the Hunt
place at Bennington, the circumstances
surrounding it and the conditions I'M
der which it is offered, if it is finally
offered at all.

DISASTROUS FIRES.
Hareu,s Mill Burned at Miles, Pc,

L. d. Hazen's steam saw mill al
Miles Pond, together with 100000 feet
of lumber and three cars loaded with
lumber and small dwelling house
were burned Friday evening. There
was 81 800 insurance on the mill and
50, 500 on the lumber burned, which
will about cover the loss. The cars
belonged to the railroad company. No
cause is assigned for the fire. The
Waterman went through the mill at
about o'clock in the evening: half an
hour before the fire, and everything
was all right at that time. Probably
it originated about the machinery in
the basement of the mill. Much of the
lumber was heavy stuff and made hot
fire. All efforts to quench it were use
less. There is large amount of I'M
finished lumber at the mill and over a
million feet of logs in the river and
Mr.. Hazen will rebuild at once on sub
stantially the same plan as before.
Hull Brothers carriage shop near
the depot at West Concord, was burn
ed last Friday afternoon with all it's
machinery and the lumber for 200
sleighs that was all dressed out ready
for putting together. Several hundred
dollars worth of patterns were also
burned and nearly all the tools in the
shop. The loss is estimated at from
$4,000 to $500. No insurance. The
fire caught from the smoke stack of
shop. The wind was blowing strong
at the time and in ten minutes the
building was a mass of fire. The Gin
ders were carried across the river and
soon several buildings were on fire. c..
H. Smiths house, the bridge, S. H.
Reeds blacksmith shop, G. l. Higgins
barns, the large block, c.. TaylOr's
store, Miss 0. NJ. Lawrence's, G.. II.
Dudley's and other buildings were all
on fire at the same time. 1t looked at
one time as though all the business
be cleaned out. Fortunately there
were number of citizens of the town
who lived outside of the village pres
ent and the supply of long ladders was
plenteous. The efforts of the villagers
we're seconded by the women who
worked with will, pumping and car
rying water. AS a result of their COM
bined efforts only the carriage shop
was burned. Over 20 different build
ings were on fire at one time, and fire
caught on dozen places on the block.

The Moon and Frosts.
just how much the moon has to do
with the affairs Of this world seems
likely to forever remain a disputed
question. A correspondent calls at
tentiOn to the moons relation to late
spring frOsts. There is a common be-
lief that the killing frost that occurs
about the last of May or first of June
comes ON the full of the moon. This
correspondent has kept record for
the past eight years with the follow
ing result: The moon fulled in 1879
on June 4 and hard frost came June
8 and 9; in 1880 on May "a, slight
frost June 3; 1881 June IL, hard frost
June Z ; 1882 June l, slight frost June
12; 1883 May 81 and June 90, no frost;
1884 June 8, hard frost May 30; 1885
May %, slight frost May % and % !;
1886 May IL, hard frost May Is. This
record goes to show what has always
been held by sensible men that these
moon theories can be made to prove
anything and as matter of fact
amount to nothing.
