A deer was found recently by John Kins-
man in a most pitiable state, short dis
tance from the main road. He started out
with some hay for the creature the next
| day, but as il was unable TO eat II, he put
the deer on his sled and started for the
barn, but it died before reaching the main
road. The deer was evidently an old set
] tier, having slit in each ear and no teeth.

This town suffered a disastrous fire
early yesterday morning when the steam
mill plant Of j. o. Robinson at West
Rochester Corner was totally destroyed
by fire. 1t started in the engine room,
where fire was kept in the engine over
night, and was discovered at about 2
o'clock. AS there were no adequate APP
pliances for fighting the flames everything
went. Besides the saw mill proper, there
was grist mill and small electric light
plant that supplied the buildings. These,
together with large quantity OF lumber,
clapboards, shingles, wooden bowls, flour
and grain, were lost. The total loss
is estimated at $4,000, and there was
no insurance. This Robinson mill has
been a leading institution in that part OF
the town for many years, and its des-
truction will mean a heavy blow not only |
TO the owner, but to the people who have |
been employed there, as well as those
served by the mill.
