 Two barns upon the farm north of Stafford Hollow, owned by Philip Ems minger, and rented by Danford l.. Con- verse, were burned on Tuesday night. The fire was discovered a little after mid night. There was time to get out four cows, but pair of oxen and horse were burned, also 8 moving machine, horse rake and wagon, harness, farming tools. The horse and harness were owned by Converse, most of the other property by Ensminger. There was insurance on the building, but none on its contents. MT. Ensminger lives in this village, and is employed by the Warren Woolen Go. The loss falls quite heavily upon both owner and tenant The latter is com- mander of Winter Post c. A. R.

 The suggestion is good one that ex- pupils of the high school form an alumni association. This will benefit both school and pupils, and establish bond of fra ternity that will add pleasure to the fu- ture lives of these young people. The high school is not yet an old institution |; it's alumni are all quite young people. As they grow old and scatter abroad the bond of unity between such Inembers,ees- pecially when they shall meet far from the old town, will be one of fragrant senti- ment, and the home school and it's pres ent work will have their sympathy be- cause of the associations of "Auld Lang Syne." The town and it's school officials have an especial interest in seeing such a bond established between the town and such of it's sons and daughters as migrate from it.
