 what Damaged.

Barn of -Selectman Weld Was Some
 what Damaged.
 There was quite fire in Guilford yesterday morning shortlyafter o'clock in which barn belonging to ex-Select- man William E. Weld of Boston was considerably damaged. Both the hose companies and the hook and ladder company responded and in less than a minute after the alarm was sounded they had water playing on the flames and the fire was confined to the corner of the barn. The origin of the fire is unknown, MT. Weld, the owner of the barn, is an old gentleman and he is in ill health and Mathew Boon, his hired man, was in the field so that neither could do anything towards checking the flames. The damage was slight, and it is very fortunate that the blaze was discovered as it was as it is likely that other buildings near by might have been destroyed if the fire had not been discovered as it was.
