est. the Ladies Aid. under the general
ship Of their efficient president, Mrs.
Martin. taking the lead. The result
has been that the ladies alone have
paid the entire debt in two years; in
fact. they have done even better than
that, as they have earned. during the
two years. over $1,000. the balance hay
ing be II paid into the parish treasury.
For several years previous to two
years ago, the Ladies Aid paid the
choir, but during the past two years
the choir and all the running expenses

Now that We are free from debt, We
can turn our attention to the beautify-
ing of our church. During the coming
year. the repairing and' improving of
the exterior will claim our our atten-
ton. and |. with confidence that they
will do so. ask the ladies t. go for

the extent of their ability.
| have attended this parish for over
40 years and it gives me pleasure II
state that it is stronger and more
united, tonight. than at any previous
time. This satisfactory condition has
been attained by the harmonious
working Of pastor. choir and members
Of the parish together. They have
worked together. shoulder 10 shoulder,
without the least jar.
Fortunate indeed are we in having
a pastor who is not only loved and APP
preciated by our parish. but by the
whole community. May he long
spared to minister to the spiritual vel
fare of this parish.
BY Treasurer G. II. Whitten's report

uly, after paying every bill, $3.50.
With many thanks to the pastor. the

Yours very truly,

The annual meeting of the Universalist
society was postponed on account OF the
weather from Monday evening at the

Reed This brings q report of the meet
ing too late for this weeks paper.
If Christmas days are an index to the
year there is not to be a very large amount
of snow this winter. The sugar season,
other things favoring, will be a fairly good
one, which we have not had here for seven
years past, and It would seem wise to
finish haying by July 20, 70 get the start
of the rainy season.
We call it pretty cold weather for this
town. The past week mercury was six de-
grees below zero one or more mornings
and one day at noon was only four degrees
above. We suppose this is partial offset
to the fine weather of the fore part of
December and November. BY the way,
where is the fellow who was going to have
all the world go to smash last November?

NEW FAN II.
Fire u, the Newans House.

Fire az the Newfane House
Landlord Burke of the Newfane House
was awakened at 2 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing by a cracking sound, which, on inves-
tigation, proved to be fire creeping between
ceilings. Besides himself and the house
keeper, no one was in the house, Mrs
Burke being in Jamaica. Mr. Burke first
called his neighbor Benson, some one was
sent to ring the church bell, and in few
minutes plenty of help was on hand. Such
a fire in a modern house would probably
be beyond village control but the heavy
timbers retarded the flames. Two fire
extinguishers were in the house aud
were great factors in putting out the fire.
Fortunately the chemicals used with them
are such as are used at the creamery, hence
Merchant Grout had a supply at hand.
Landlord Davis brought over two extin-
guishers from the County House. 1t is
doubted II the house could have been saved
without them. The stove pipe connection
with the chimney has been considered I'M
safe on account of passing through many
partitions. When the fire was under con-
troll Mr.. Burke provided hot coffee and
solid refreshments The building is own
ed by Mr.. Angler Of Brattleboro and Is
supposed to be well insured. Mr.. Burkes
possessions, being uninsured, were removed
from the building. The fire extended from
the first 4 Dor into the roof at the west end of
the hotel and damage is roughly estimated
at several hundred dollars. The commun-
ity has every reason TO be thankful for es-
cape from what might have been an ex-
tended connagration, several houses in
that locality being near together.
