Early forming Fire.

-a-
The largest fire in town for some time
was discovered shortly before O'Clock
Saturday morning in the barn of the Syl-
vester and Gray, slaughter house in
Summerville. When discovered, the fire
had made considerable. Roadway and
when the companies arrived upon the
scene the entire barn was in flames and
the slaughter house, which was connected,
had started to blaze. The nature
of the building and Roadway of
the fire made it impossible to check the
flames and the entire building burned to
the ground with the exception of a small
smoke house which was filled with hams.
Nothing of value was saved from the
building except an old mud wagon and
about dozen new hogsheads. A horse,
meat cart and bicycle buggy belonging
to Charles Cook was burned and as he
had no insurance his loss is quite large
Several cats, a dog and two live pigs be-
longing to Kirk and Gray were also
burned. The st. Johnsbury Packing Co.
which occupied the slaughter house lost
all of their stock of goods and machinery
with loss of $4,000 and insurance Of
$500. Theloss on the building is about
$500 with insurance of $500. The
origin of the fire is mystery. Messrs.
Kirk and Gray are undecided as to their
future plans.

nuseum Notes.

Two very interesting exhibits have
found in a table case at the right of the
entrance, and illustrates the life
histories of various insects. The vice
roy. swallow-tail and monarch butter
flies. American tent caterpillar, two
sphinx, the promethea, gypsy and brown
tail moths, and the Colorado potato
beetle, comprise the collection. Each in
sect is exhibited in a glass box contain
ing the eggs, pupa. larva, and both male
and female of the full grown insect. The
gypsy and browntail moths are coming
nearer our town each year. and it lis
hoped that the study of this exhibit will
help the public to become familiar with
the metamorphoses of these injurious
creatures, so that on their first appear.
ance in town they may be quickly recog-
aized and destroyed.
The second addition to the Museum is
a group of dozen fish, and it is display
ed in the small case at the south end Of
the building. These fish are natives of
Vermont, the group comprising specimens
of muskallunge, pi Ike perch, fall6sh, lake
trout, big-mouthed black bass, pickerel,
brook sucker, whlte-hsh, brook trout,
sunfish, yello " perch and calico bass.
These fish were prepared by Sherman
F. Denton of Wellesley. Mass, according
to method invented by himself, and
which is the result of years of labor and
experiment. MIR. Denton makes water
color sketch OF the fish soon after it has
been taken from the water. It is then
skinned and the skin mounted on cast
made of papier-mache. The last step in
the process is painting the mounted fish,
the water-color sketch previously made
being used as guide. The result is
most natural representation Of the fnny
tribe. Mr. Denton has mounted a large
number Of fish for the U. S Fish Commits
sion and they were exhibitedi in the fisheries
building at St. Louis, where they received
much favora BILE comment both from Wis
itors and from members Of the Commits
sion. The fish are very effectively placed
in the Museum. being fastened to the
wall, where they receive the benefit OF
good overhead light. ~
Glasses from the public schools are
making their monthly visits to the muse
UNI this week.

During the SUMNER W. E. Balch. the
museum taxidermist, has succeeded in
getting collection of photographs,
while on trip through the White
Mountains. including several spots never
before photographed because of the
difficulty in reaching the places from
which good views could be had. Some
of these are now hung on the walls of the,
Museum Office and are very interesting.
Among the number are Echo Lake, the
Franconia Notch and Mt. Clinton.

enjoyable show has been given here than

one of the best casts he ever trained.
The presence of the. Plymouth rock hen
on the stage added decidly humorous
phase to the occasion when the bird in
an excited passage between the
lawyer and witness began to loudly
cackle. The officers oil the conrt and all
the participants of the trial kept the au-
dience in laughter and the pleas of Law
yer 4Simonds and Col. Newton were ex-
ceptionally appropriate to the occasion.
DR.. E. w. Hitchcock, who had been sum-
moned to testify to the insanity of the
complainant, r. B. Gammell, was called
on case and his place taken by DR.. w.
J. Aldrich who filled his place very ac-
ceptably.

There are two principles that have
stood face to face from the beginning
of time. The one is the common right
of humanity and the other is the "di-
vine right" of kings. 1t is the same
principle in whatever shape it develops
itself. 1t is the same spirit which
SAYS, "You work and toll and earn
bread and I'll eat It," No matter In
what shape it comes, whether from
the mouth of king or from men, 1t Is
the same tyrannical principle.-Abra-
ham Lincoln.

Lies Little Things.

kaasas CITY World.
y Wild birds song is little thing--lost
in he deeps of summer sky.
And yet, when it falls on listening
ear, and leaves its message OF melody.
earth's green grows brighter and life
seems lighter, and summer indeed is
real.
A budding rose is little thing-lost
in the gold of summer sun.
And yet, wherever it bursts in bloom
and scatters afar its fragrance sweet,
love grows dearcr and heaven nearer.
and it's petals fall too soon.
A pnsH'n. smile is Il little thing-lost
in Il world of toll and care.
And yet, the soul with gloom oppressed
and the life grown wcaried with burdens
hard will happier grow in the atterglow
of n smile that is warmly kind
