There is a case at Pomeroy Ridge that is worth chronicling, “Janie the Spinner,” or as she is generally called “Little Jane” who is now 90 years of age, frequently walks from Pomeroy Ridge to St.Stephen and back again the same day. A year or so since she came to St.Stephen on a Sunday morning on a special errand, and returned home in time for church at 11 o’clock, thus accomplishing a morning walk of 18 miles. How many of our readers will be able to do this when they are 90 years of age?

The loss is about $3000.

Pomeroy Ridge has been the scene of some good hunting this season. Henry Dickinson shot one buck which weighed when dressed, 180 pounds and carried a fine set of horns with five prongs on one side and seven on the other. He had also shot a doe, which dressed 100 pounds, and a large black bear. Howard Dickinson shot two does, each dressing 130 pounds, and Charles Dickinson one that dressed 136 pounds. Deer meat has not been a scarce article in the Dickinson family larder for some time past.

Harvey Caldwell of Pomeroy Ridge, about 10 miles from here, met with a heavy loss Friday evening when fire completely destroyed his house and barn and everything that was in the house. Mr. Caldwell was away at the the time and his little child went in the barn with a light which upset and set fire to the barn, spreading quickly to the house, and before help could arrive everything was completely destroyed. Not even the clothes were saved. The live stock at the time were in the fields and escaped. The loss will be a heavy one and only a small amount of insurance is said to be on the buildings.
