LyndOnville.
This village will have seen during
the year, ending Jan. 1, 1896, if the
electric light project goes through as
1t now promises to do, almost the en-
tire business portion of the town re-
built from a sweeping confagration;
the completion of an excellent sys-
tenn of water works, and the erection
of good electric lighting system. 1t
is doubted if any village in this state
ever did greater thing in the line of
reconstruction and general improve
ment in a single year. 1t will be in
order now to gather in, pay up debts,
and enjoy the advantages of the hard
efforts and improvements of this
memorable year in the history of this
place.
Fire again visited Lyndonville Mon
day morning, destroying M. L.Stearns'
tub shop on East street. Harry Hun
ter, the engineer, was building the
fire about $3.50 a. M, leaving the fur
mace and the engine room doors open.
A strong wind was blowing and the
fire "kicked," throwing the burning
shavings all over the room, which
blazed up at once in dozen places.
The alarm was sounded and the fire
company was soon on the spot, but
the building was ablaze before they
could reach it. The new water system
proved itself of incalculable value and
they succeeded in stopping the fire
before the building was consumed,
and in keeping it from spreading.
Such a wind was blowing that with
out it East street would certainly have
burned. Mr.. Stearns' loss on build
ings and contents was considerable.
He has suffered much from fire, and
every one sympathizes with him. He
has always shown an indomitable
courage and perseverance, which it is
hoped will not desert him in this in
stance. Every one hopes that he
will rebuild, as the village would be
sorry to lose this industry. His in
surance is $4,000. Mr.. Shonyo's grist
mill was damaged to an extent not
yet determined, as much by water as
fire. The bank was unfortunate
enough to lose large amount of lum
Der for the interior of it's new block,
which was stored in the dry house.
This was uninsured. Those who have
been worrying for fear the water
supply is insufficient will be glad to
learn that the reservoir was not low
cred enough to prevent the water
from running over the dam.

Major General o. o. Towards lee

one who was in the battle. His rem

mony that he did not drink intoxicat-
ing liquors were pleasant facts.

Gentlemen, i have used another
evaporation previous to using the
Champion. [ have also taken pains
to see the evaporation at my
neighbours, but it is not so much fast
boiling as it is quality of product that
am after.
Shallow boiling of sap makes good
syrup; deep boiling with heaters or
due evaporators spoils it.
I think you have been imposed upon
with the rig that have. [ was afraid
to try it because Mr.. Patterson, who
formerly owned it, and others talked
so unfavorably about it, however, I
am glad that I was persuaded TO give
it a test, as it far exceeds your guar
antee, as to it's capacity and quality
of product, and were to buy another
evaporator, I should certainly buy a
