-Marieuville bids fair to have a con-
siderable boom on during the approach
ing season. The stock is all subscribed
toward the starting of a glass factory for
manu- facture of bottles in that place, and
the work OF installing the plant by a
practical man, who takes the bulk of the
stock, will begin within few days. The
building erected some time ago for the
starting Of oodworking plant at the
expense of the local people, will be used
tor the glass factory and it is expected
that things in that industry will be hum

The farm barn of Samuel VauCamp,
mile east of Fryburg, Clarion county,
was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning
of last week. II contained considerable
quantity of hay. grain and general feed
which are included in the loss. The cat
tie and horses were out at the time, fact
that probably lessened the loss of the
owner considerably. Mrs. VanCamp had
cleaned up the dooryard, then set fire to
the accumulated rubbish. The fire COM
municated itself to the dry grass and by
this means was carried to the barn.
Neighbors were able to prevent the house
from being burned although its destruc-
tion was threatened. Mr.. VanCamp car
ried an insurance of S400 which is only a
small part of the total loss.
