from New York city, about two years
ago and his parents bought the James
Howe place in district No. 9. the house
on which was burned shortly previous to

casson cabin on Newfane hill and decided
to build similar one. He built a larger
log cabin and occupied it alone except
for a time in the summer when the other
members of his family joined him. He
has recently enlisted in the navy. Mr.
and Mrs. II. L. Beusch. the parents,
came month ago and decided to continue
improvements on the place and keep 1t
for a summer residence, leaving it in
charge Fred Underwood, who is adding
a piazza 10i by eight feet on three sides
Of the house, with natural posts of diff
ferent kinds of wood on the farm. Mr..
Beusch was interested to find in potato
hills in the garden remarkably firm pota-
toes. a few samples of which he took
home to test by eating. and so fresh and
nice were they that he ordered a barrel
to be dug and sent to his New York home
by express in the last days of April. The
family have spent considerable money
on the place, and propose to spend July
and August there, which promises well
for the neighborhood.
