100000 Fire at Bloomfield.
An explosion of tons of dynamite
in the midst of a roaring fire which
swept away the barns, storehouses
and Office buildings of the Connect
cut Valley Lumber Co. and the post
Office and grocery store at Bloom
field, Thursday night was all that
saved the village from being wiped
out by flames. AS the fire licked up
the postoffice and grocery store kept
by F. A. Roby, and threatened to
jump the railroad tracks of the Grand
Trunk and lay low the so or more
remaining houses OF the village, the
dynamite, several tons of which we're
kept in the storehouses, exploded
and caused all the burning buildings
to collapse and fall together. The
fire fighters soon had the fire under
control. The loss was estimated con-
servatively at 100000.

Arrested for Deer Shooting.
Game Warden J. Edward Reeves
and Thomas Reeves of Burlington
recently made trip into the wilds
of West Bolton, where they went to
legal shooting OF deer. AS result
Willard oCreeter, resident of
Chittenden will be arraigned at the
present term of county court,
charged with that offense. In the
barnbe hind Streeter's house, con-
cealed beneath a quantity of hay,
were found 20 deer's feet. This
will form a burden of the proof in
troduced against Streeter. The
game warden received some clues,
which led to the trip, several days
ago. He learned that illegal shoot
ing was being carried on with regu-
larity in the forests of West Boil
ton. He further learned that it was
becoming something of a fad to
make hat racks of deer's feet. These
and other things brought the party
to the Streeter homestead, which is
situated only few feet from the
woods in small clearing. 1t was
in search of the premises that the
feet were discovered. No other
signs of carcasses were discovered
and it could not be told whether the
deer had been killed recently or not
by their appearance. Streeter has
not had a hunting license for many
years
A Long, Hard Winter.
The Woodstock Spirit of the Age
says:
The open season for weather pro-
phets brings predictions of long,
hard winter from Uncle Horace
Johnson of Middle Haddam, Conn,
and Weather Prophet Devoe of
Hackensack, N. J. Neither is in
close touch with atmospheric condi-
lions in Vermont, but their proclaim
ations will probably answer as we'll
for this neighborhood as anywhere.
Both are heroes of some great ex-
p1oits in weather forecasting, and
Woodstock folks will do well to get
