The excellent set of farm buildings own
ed by James Anderson of E. Craftsbury
were burned last week, together with lot
of cattle and hogs, farming tools etc. The
fire originated about the barn and the
cause is unknown. The household goods
were saved. The loss is heavy. Insured
for S17OO.
The people of this town were panied to
hear of the death of r. M. Smith, which
occurred in Derby some time since. Mr..
Smith resided here some years and was a
successful farmer and business man. He
owned several of the best farms in this
town, and did a large stroke of business.
After he buried his wife and two children
here, this town seemed to lose its charm
for him and he moved away. His remains
were buried in Coventry.
A fire broke out here on the morning of
Nov. 10Th, which destroyed the black
smith shop and dwelling house of Henry
King, and the blacksmith shop with tene-
ment overhead, owned by William Farr.
The fire started in Mr.. Kings shop and
was SO far along when discovered that it
could not be put out. The shop owned by
Mr.. Farr was soon on fire and was also
destroyed; Mr.. Kings house which stood
near by was soon ablaze and was burned.
Mr.. Farr's people were driven from their
rooms in their night clothes, and lost
their household goods and clothing. Most
of the stock and tools were saved from the
shop. Mr.. King saved nothing from his
shop, but his household goods were saved.
1t is expected that both will rebuild. They
are good citizens and good workmen and
we hope they win build up again.
