At the annual meeting of the Farmers’ and Villagers’ Fire Insurance Association of this town, held at the hotel of B. H. Waldron on the 3d instant, Messrs. N. P. Cowles, Albert Chase, Stephen Steele, Merritt Osborn, Pearl Lewis, Moses B. Austin, and S. P. Ives, were elected as a Board of Directors for the ensuring year. The Secretary made his annual report which shows the association to be in good standing, with $75,000 of property, insured, and no losses during the last year.

A union is proposed between the citizens of Ashland and Windham to form the two towns into one company; and, in order to get an expression of the feeling of the members, the following resolution was offered:

Resolved: That the Directors of this Company are hereby authorized to meet a Committee of any number of persons from this town of Ashland, to take into consideration the propriety of uniting both towns into one Company, and to take such measures as are necessary for uniting into one Company, if thought expedient.

The resolution passed the meeting unanimously.

The officers for the ensuing year are N. P. Cowles, President; Merritt Osborn, Vice President; S. P. Ives, Secretary.

WILD CAT KILLED – A wild cat was killed at Butts’ hotel, at the top of the mountain, on the Windham turnpike, on Friday last, by Mr. Isaac Butts. The animal had made inroads upon the hennery of Mr. Butts, and on Friday morning finding several dead chickens, or their remains, strewed around his barn, and the tracks of a strange animal visible, a search was instituted, when “the varmint” was discovered under the barn. Isaac procured his gun and laid the beast out. He measured five feet from the ends of his fore to the ends of his hind feet, when at full length, and weighed eighteen and a half pounds.
