lily. Two horses, two mules and
all his provender were burned, on
which he had no insurance. When
/ the fire was discovered the roof
was falling in, the wind was blow
ing a gale and there was great
danger of a serious confiagration.
The building was insured in the
Cantwell Mutual Insurance Com
pany for $500. Mr.. Lynch rented
! the farm of Mr. Cummins a year
ago and married the daughter of
John CULLEN, both of this vicinity

AN INCIDENT OF TOWN HIS
TORY-There are living in this
town at the present time, we are
told, only two men VINO were born
and have lived continuously in the
town, that are now past fifty years
Of age and they are David J. Cum
minis and George H. Raymond, the
presidents of our two banks. Even
these have been heretofore usually
classified among the youngish men
and Colonel Raymond especially
has barely passed beyond the half
century line, and doubtless feels
that Time is making an unnatural
claim and classification. We have
a number of men three and four
score years old living among us,
but who come in the exception be-
cause in some period in their life |
they have lived for a time in other |
places, or in the country. The same
rule will not apply to the women,
for We have number past the age
of fifty who have never lived any
where else. It is also stated that |
there are now only two couples
who have been living in the town
continuously who were married in
1845. This time last year there
were five couples.
