The Historic Weathervane.

The weathervane believed to have been
on the old Newfane Hill church is now
mounted on the cupola OF the annex on
Bencasson grounds. Walter E. Wheeler
of Williamsville placed it in position. The
vane was brought to Bencasson some years
ago from storage in an attic OF a house
formerly owned by Deacon Lyman Brig
ham who once lived in the old tavern on
Newfane Hill near the church, and 1t
was thought by the late Mrs. Lucy Cush-
ing and S. G. Brown and others to be the
weathervane upon which Newfane's first
settlers gazed. 1t seems to have been
intended to represent two flames OF fire
indicating the Holy Spirit at the time OF
Pentacost.

Work, But There Was No Protection
Work VIII BE Resumed.
The engine, boiler, boiler house and barn
at the Bodine & Davis brick yard were
burned Friday morning, causing a loss of
about $4,000, covered by insurance in a
Bellows Falls insurance agency. The
fire broke out about 8 o'clock in the fore
noon while the men were at work. but
there was no water or apparatus for fire
protection, and all the men could do was
to stand and see the fire progress. The
boiler house and barn were connected,
one roof covering both, and the smoke
stack went up through the roof. It is
thought that the stack became over
heated and set fire to the woodwork
around it. There was some hay in the
barn, which made the fire burn with
greater intensity. The brick machine
was not damaged seriously, but the engine
and boiler were spoiled.
Bodine & Davis Of Bellows Falls es-
tablished the brick yard near the rail-
road station the past spring They have
fired two kilns and have built up another
which will be fired next week. About
100000 brick have been moulded. Mr..
Blake, manager of the yard, says there
is clay enough in the bank for so, 900 900
more. Bodine e. Davis will buy new
boiler and a new engine and rebuild at
once. 1t is expected that the machinery
will be in operation in two or three
weeks. Meanwhile the II men employed
in the yard will have work enough to do
