1870 From Each Company.

The orders from the War Depart
ment read that the regiment known
IS the First Vermont. formerly OF
National Guard, will be divided into
four distinct organizations, each OF
them in a separate branch of the ser
vice. About 130 men are picked from
each company The very cream OF
the regiment is being taken, veterans
of the Mexican campaign, and soldiers
Of long training being among the first
chosen.
Colonel Fred b. Thomas, command
ing officer of the regiment, will not
accompany the detachment ordered
for active service. Captain Hudson
of Company M, and Second Lieuten
ant Newton, Captain Stanley Of Com
pany G of Winooski and First Lieu
tenant Homeister will accompany the
outgoing detachment First Lieuten
ant Wakefield, Company M, Burling-
ton, will remain at Fort Ethan Allen
according to present orders. Second
| Lieutenant Hanley will also remain
here.
The military official curtain was
! drawn today about Colonel Fred B
| Thomas headquarters, and little in
formation was allowed to leak out a!
| to the destination of the Vernon
! companies and the exact time of thei
departure Colonel Thomas himself
today could not tell the hour of th
departure. It is possible that al
preparations will not be completed
by tomorrow. In that case the 1,30
men will be forced to wait over n fey
ihOurs longer.
According to the authorities, thi
afternoon, the regimental band is no
likely to be included in the detach
ment which will leave tomorrow. Th
medical corps of the First Vernon
have not yet been ordered to leave
The machine gun troops and the sur
ply company, it is understood, wi
cave with the detachment.

Will Not BE KeH: Together.

The First Vermont Regiment will
not be kept together, or even the
separate companies in it. About 25
men from each company and some Of
the officers will remain at Fort Ethan
Allen. Officers will be assigned to
the new detachment, it is understood,
without any regard for their previous
commands. 1t may be, therefore,
that Captain Hudson of the Burling
ton company will be assigned to men
over whom he has hitherto had no
command. This is but one instance
of the complete change of the First
Vermont organization.

Fred Winn's Property Loss.


The barn owned by Fred Winn, sit
uated in the eastern section of Dan
Vile, was struck by lightning about
the same time as the Fairbanks build
ing. One horse, stabbed in the build
ing. was killed, it is thought, by the
bolt of lightning which started the
fire. The barn was totally destroyed,
although great efforts were made to
save the property. The fire fighters
were able to save the house and other
bull dings on the farm, but Winn's los
in hay and other property destroyed
will be heavy. It was impossible t.
! estimate the approximate loss, but i
is expected the damage will approach
| $4,000.
The duration of the storm was the
record of the season. Throughout the
evening rumbles of thunder an,
| flashes of lightning continued. The
storm center seemed to leave the st
Johnsbury vicinity only to return will
increased fury many times. TIL
