Big Lumber Drive.

The logs of the Connecticut River Lum-
Der company began going over the dam
at Bellows Falls last week and have been
making rapid progress since. The log-men
say they have not had so good run in
many years. The rear Of the drive, which
is in the vicinity of Newbury will not
reach Bellows Falls for ten days or two
weeks. At present there are about 100
men employed about the drive. AL
though the water is high there has been
frequent and heavy use of dynamite.

The Large Barn of Mat Zerwas
Was Entirely Consumed
by Fire Friday.

Now that fall and winter are iast
approaching fire will again play the
part of a fiend. Such was the case
Friday morning.
While Mr.. Zerwas and his farm
hands were employed in his field,
smoke was noticed issuing from one
OF the windows in the hay loft. and
before they arrived at the building
the. entire roof had fallen.
There was no means Of extinguish-
ing the fire SO they were obliged to
let it burn. The building Is now a
pile of ashes.
About 80 tons Of hay was III the
loft and was Il course consumed. SIX
or seven stacks of grain, and a
binder were also destroyed; no COWS
or horses were injured.
It IL not known how the fire
started. Mr.. Zerwas was in the
barn about an hour or 40 before the
fire was discovered and at that time
did not detect the smell 0f smoke or
notice anything out Of the ordinary
condition of things. The barn, In
appearance, looked like i. FL.
Neuman's livery barn.
Mr.. Zerwas carried considerable
insurance on the structure. but as he
could not he seen, the actual amount
could not be learned. The First
