mill at Rumford Falls was burned late in

$1,000 to $4,000, with an insurance of
$500. 1t was owned by George W.
Blanchard of Auburn. The fire is sup
pose to have been set by spark from a
passing engine. The blaze was small
when discovered, but everything was dry
as finder, and it quickly got beyond
control. The mill was situated near

Speaking of hedgehogs, the other
evening Will Swan and one other fellow
went out hunting the animal and got
five; soon they captured four more whose
required extremities they,took to Locke's
Mills for credentials, and took the money
for them.
One man, who has been peeling poplar
trees for pulp wood recently, says that
nearly every tree has been injured more
or less by the bark being gnawed OF the
trunk or top in places. The food OF the
hedgehog consists almost wholly OF the
bark of trees in winter, and he seems to
prefer the poplar to any other kind.
Two meadows near by were left uncut
last year, but as the grass on upland is
growing smaller every day, they
will probably get cut this year; and
since the new grass is pushing much OF
the old up with it as it grows, the in.
ference is that it will be hard to cut and
of rather poor quality.
The hill pastures SAVIOR more OF Octo-
Der than the last of May, and some are
feeding provender to their cows the same
as last winter.

The other day Guy Cole and Rosie
Merrill saw swarm of bees passing over
near the school house, and having heard
that throwing objects into the swarm,
and at the same time making a loud
noise would cause them to light, they
tried the experiment and with perfect
success. They were equally successful
in hiving them, and now the two boys
