ruinous in the history Of the town. has
left scene of desolation in the heart
of the village which is ANYTHING but
encouraging as to the prospects of the
business life Of Pntucv.
The loss on the two buildings and
contents was around $4,000. The
property was well insured. although
$4,000 OF insurance was transferred q
few days ago on account of the remov-
al Of a branch of the business and
some machinery to BrattIeboro I..C.

some - persons were engaged and for
which there are many orders on hand.
Just what arrangements will be made
for the continuation Of that part of
the business cannot be stated just now.
