THE VERMONT ENsoR INSTITUTE.

The Ensor Remedy Company, though
not booming now at the local Institute,
is pushing its organization and institutes
and has bright outlook for the future,
and its stockholders will doubtless re-

Westfield and Springfield, Mass. The
New York company has also thriving

The excursion to Lake George on
Wednesday, was largely attended from
this place and vicinity. The COngrega-
| tional Sunday school was quite well rep
resented and all had very pleasant
time. There was no rain except while
on the cars on the way, and those who
carried umbrellas had no use for them.
| The weather on the Lake could not have
been better, and the two hours ride on
| its transparent water on the steamboat
"Ticonderoga," was highly enjoyed by
the great crowd of ten car loads, which
made up the train starting from Ben
nington. 1t was unfortunate that more
than seven cars had not been in requis-
| ition on the start, but the numbers were
more than was expected, and three adj
ditional were afterwards connected, CIV
ing ample room for all. In the absence
of Superintendent Bennett, the excur-
sion appeared to be under the manage
ment of F. G. Madison of Bennington,
who brought it to it's termination but
little behind time. happily with noserious
accidents to record. and with the gem
eral commentator of its being civil and
orderly, one of the very best.
At Fort Edward, young man who
had stepped off the train, in attempting
to get on fell back and had the expert
ence of walking fourteen miles to Lake

cursion train.

A BIG BLAZE.

About o'clock, yesterday morning,
an alarm of fire was rung from box 45,
and within a few moments the entire
fire department was out, including the
steamer. Nearly the whole population
of the village attended also From the
appearance at distance one would have
thought half the town was in flames.
The fire proved to be a portion of the
cluster of three livery barns and sheds,i
the rear of North street, and the First
National Bank and the residence of NJ.
f. Burgess. One barn, part of the
Southworth barn and quite an area of
store sheds for hay and grain were de-
stroyed. The Graves & Root barn, or
the main barn, so-called, was saved. The
fire consumed for Enos Adams 6 Com
pany long shed, to the west of the terri
tory burned for the Messrs. Burgess,
filled with dried lumber of considerable
value, and began on the cooper shop,
but the latter was saved The machine
shops were somewhat damaged, and also
a building belonging to VIM. E. Hawks
in the rear of Mrs. Poor's bakery.
The real estate belongs to NJ. E. Bur-
CESS, on which the loss is about 81 900,
while the livery is owned by the Messrs.
Burgess. There was an insurance on the
Burgess barns and contents of SO, 200, so
that the loss is covered by insurance.
Enos Adams & Company have no insur-
ance. Mr.. Adams showed his apprecia-
ton of the firemen's efforts in his behalf
yesterday, in sending each of the three
hose companies and the Hooks a check
for S25, or 500 in all.
When first discovered the Burgess
property seemed to be entirely on fire,
but was burning more fiercely in two
places. This leads to suspicious of in
cendiary origin. The one place nearest
to NJ. E. Burgess's house was a small
barn where were kept two horses, Red
Dick, and a colt four months old, that
persisted in the flames. The colt was
valued by its owner at $500. Further
out in the sheds some twelve or fourteen
tons of hay were on fire and made the
blaze referred to above. The horses,
carriages, etc., in the other part were all
saved.
The Starks got the first stream on, fol-
lowed quickly by the Tiffanys and Put
mans. AS on one or two other occa-
sions the water did not appear to flow
readily at first from the hydrants. The
steamer was put on with the extra hose
and did good work. Thanks to a well
organized fire department it has again
been demonstrated that with our present
facilities for extinguishing fire the
flames can be confined to the original
builning This fire was in one of the
most combustible places in town, and
the tiremen were able to save contiguous
property and barns attached, all built OF
wood. The wind was favorable else the
losses might have been mor..
At about 3 o'clock this morning an
alarm was rung from box SO. This
proved to be the woodsked contiguous
to the dwelling of John Hogan. The
Tiffany's soon had stream on and kept
the flames confined to the small build
Jig where it started, so that the services
of the Putnams were not needed. The
loss is small and covered by insurance.

The severe weather of the past month
has kept woolgrowers hustling and
made a large shrinkage in their hay
stacks. We have failed to hear, how
ever, Of any Gripping losses. Wool
growers have long since learned that
their own safety and insurance was in
good sheds and long hay stacks. They
have generally taken advantage of
favorable years and accumulated feed
sufficient to carry them through any
siege of weather that can come. There
is always the invalid band from which
it is expected to lose a certain per cent,
and if greater this year than usual it
would not prove a serious matter. The
losses to w~oolgrowers by the weather
will be as nothing compared with that
expected It the hands of Democratic
congress. Human agencies are more
to be dreaded than the tickle and un-
comfortable laws of nature.
