HAzEN,S VICTORY MILL BURNED.

The new steam mill at Victory
owned by l.. ID. Hazen of this place
was burned to the ground about 1
O'Clock Wednesday morning. The
insurance on the property was $3.50
while the total loss will be between
$4,000 and $4,000 Fifty hands
are thrown out of employment
though the mill will undoubtedly be
rebuilt i'll the early spring. The fire
caught from the engine room and al
most Immediately the whole building
was enveloped in flames.
The night watchman was clearing
up i'll another part OF the mill and
the first intimation he had of the fire
was the sight of flames in the whole
side of the mill where the engine is
situated. The alarm was Immediate
" given and the hel p quickly came to
the mill but their efforts could not
stay the progress of the flames.
Nearly four carloads of dressed lum-
Der were burned and the machinery,
which was all of the most improved
kind, is ruined. The platforms of the
building were saved together with
several carloads of lumber
The mill was built in October,
1897, very soon after the old mill
was burned. 1t was a two-story
structure with dimensions of 40 by
40 feet It's daily output is from
35, 900 to 40, 900 feet of sawed lum-
Der. There is now at the mill over
100000 feet of logs and more are
constantly arriving from the woods.
Mr.. Hazen has steam mills at Groton
Pond, Miles Pond and Richford be
sides this one at Victory. He will
have sincere and widespread sympa-
thy in his loss.

RECENT DEATHS.
Humphrey.

Rev. John P. Humphrey died at
Mortified, Mass, Feb. 10, at the age
of about 20 years. He was a native
of Derry, N HI. To many of the
readers of the Ca1edonian Mr. Hum
phrey was known as pastor of the
Congregational church at ST. Johns
bury East, where he was settled for
a number of years previous to 1873
9. On leaving the East village he re-
moved to Winchendon, Mass, from
thence to Northfield, where he died
as above stated from the effects of
softening of the brain. He left a wife
and a brother, Rev Dr. Simon ].
Humphrey of Chicago, district secre-
tary of the American Board. The
subject of this notice was man of
rare spiritual and scholarly gifts. Of
extreme modesty, almost to shyness,
he was man whose real worth was
not published to the world Of very
benevolent and syrnpatiIetic nature,
his almS-deedS and Christian service
were something greatly cherished by
those who knew him intimately, and
his death will be sincerely mourned
by many who will first learn of it in
these lines

PASTORAL CHANGES.

Rev. T. p. Frost preached what he
was pleased to call his farewell ser
mon last Sabbath in the course of
which he announced that he had de-
cided to go to Brooklyn, having ac-
cepted the call of the Somerfield
Methodist society of that city. Mr..
Frost will enter upon his new field of
labOrs about the middle of April
During his two years pastOrate in
st. Johnsbury he has built up the
church of his adoption, has extended
his influence throughout the whole
district and is just that kind of cit
izen whom the people delight to
honor
Rev F. E. Dawson will conclude
his labors as pastor of the Free Bap-
tist church in the early summer to
become state missionary for the Free
Baptist missionary society. His
headquarters will be at st. Johns
bury making it unnecessary to sever
all his relations with the church over
which he has faithfully ministered
for nearly three years

A VALUABLE ROSE.

Over 10 years ago the late DIR Gold
smith of Rutland raised a rose bush
from the seed of beautiful plant in
his possession. Though he gave it
the best of care the plant never bios
somed and in disgust he gave it away
to George w. Woodhouse of Rutland.
Everything was done to bring the
rose to bloom, and finally after more
than a decade of existence the plant
came out in red roses such as had
never been seen before The color
was deep red, and they were large
and handsome; people sought shoots
and several offers were made for the
plant. Mr. Woodhouse named it the
MARY Woodhouse' after a daughter
who had died, and sold it recently
for $4,000 to Pitcher & Manda of
Shot Hills, N J. This story has a
local interest from the fact that Mr..
Woodhouse married the daughter OF
the late Calvin Wright of St. Johns
bury Center.
