{. P. Jenness has recently purchased a
device for lowering casket into the grave
1t has power to raise as well as lower the
casket and is controlled by lever in the
hand OF the operator standing erect. The
device is adjustable in both width and
length and will handle cas- kets of all sizes.
The frame is of oak and cherry and the
metal parts are all nickel plated. A canopy
attaches to the frame and lines the grave.
This device, which we understand cost
seventy five dollars, with his beautiful
new hearse, gives Mr.. JeDness one of the
best outfits of any undertaken in northern
Vermont. He is an experienced embalmer
and carries large line of caskets and fur
nishings.
During the severe thunder shower last
Wednesday evening lightning struck VIM.
Telfer's large barn and in a short time the
whole structure was enveloped in flames.
Mr.. Teller was getting his cattle into the
barn but he quickly drove them out but
before he could get to his horses that
part of the barn was in flames and the two
horses were burned. Eight calves were
also caught in the fire. Although large
company quickly assembled nothing could
be done except to keep the fire from
spreading to the house. Nearly all Of the
farming tools were destroyed and about
seventy tons of hay. The barn was insured
for $500, farm produce for $500, and farm
ing ools 5000.
