Judge Hastings House Burned.

Judge S. J. Hastings house and shed
situated on his large farm about one
mile from this village was entirely con-
sumed BY fire on New Years morning
together with many articles Of value in
the house, prominent among which was
his large and valuable collection of
books. Several cords of wood were also
burned and some 1 500 tin sap buckets
were also destroyed. The fire was first
caused by dclothing coming in connec-
ton with a stove pipe which passed
through one of the chambers. The fire
was, as they supposed extinguished, and
Mr.. Hastings went to st. Johnsbury on
business A close watch was kept by
the family, but no trace of fire could be
seen, until it suddenly and without warn
ing burst forth. 1t had doubtless been
working steadily and silently in the par
titions and for this reason was undis-
covered.
Help came as quickly as possible and
all articles that could be got at before
the fire became too far advanced, were
removed to place of safety. The judge
and his family have moved into Chester
Felchs tenement in this village. They
have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community, in the loss of their home.

So, though by letter have been asked
for an expression of opining upon the
Cuban question, shall not give it Cat
any rate not yeti, Tor the great ones of
the country still feel uncertain of the
right thing to do, However, if your
readers will allow me, | will spend a
short time considering Spain as ma
ton. Its desperate methods in Cuba
may then be more clearly understood.
To consider an individual carefully, to
weigh his faults and strength, is always
interesting. To do the same thing TO q
nation is always interesting also, but
more complicated. may, therefore, be
in error in my judgments. That | leave

There is no government so decidedly
under the notice of the American people
at this time as the Spanish. This is be-
cause methods Of management Cuba
come very near to our own shores
Whether our indignation, political or
actual, would be as deep if Cuba were
5000 miles away, is an open question /;
Tor much that is said and done in congress
and ont of it savors greatly Of politics
and wire-pulling, while real sympathy
nt yer savors OF either.
