between twelve and four o'clock in the afternoon. Had the wind continued with the same force and in the same direction, it would probably have reached the Forks before 8 o'clock. The people of that village were greatly alarmed, but the catastrophe was averted.


North of Cannon's Corners, towards the Canada line, the houses and barns of Daniel MeCallister and Peter Mott were burned.


North of Mooers Forks, Oscar Freeman lost a house and barn, and Samuel Gray a barn. Two or three small tene- ment-houses of A. J. C. Blackman were burned.


Southwest of the forks, near the old residenee of the late A. O. Hall, a house and barn were burned that be- longed to John Sevare, who, with his family, was visiting in Massachusetts. All the household furniture, wagons, farming utensils, etc., burned. The fires raged fiercely in the woods near Corkins' and Burroughs' Mills.


On June 1, 1877, the town voted $1000, "to aid those who suffered loss" by this the largest of the many forest- fires that have occurred within the town limits.


MASONIC.


Mount Horeb Lodge, No. 707, A. F. and A. M., was eon- stituted by charter June 8, 1871. By the charter Ralph Irwin was appointed Worthy Master ; John W. Winters, Senior Warden ; and Joseph H. Follett, Junior Warden.


The lodge had been previously working under a dispen- sation, and the first meeting was held Oct. 6, 1870.


The charter members of the lodge were Ralph Irwin, John W. Winters, J. H. Follett, F. P. Allen, James E. Winters, E. W. Steele, Horatio Fitch, Wmn. Candy, Simeon Wood, Wmn. Tomlinson, Samuel Cannon, Wm. R. Cannon, D. D. Nichols, Alexander Kellas, Sherman Welden, E. S. Wright, Wolcott Wakefield, J. F. Wright, Wm. W. Wood, Robert M. Patter, Linneus S. Belden, H. N. Lasalle.


The first degrees conferred in the lodge were on Oct. 20, 1870, on Samuel Kirk, Wm. E. Whitney, and Charles L. Knapp.


The Masters of the lodge have been : 1870-75, Ralph Irwin ; 1876, James E. Winters ; 1877, John W. Win- ters ; 1878, Edgar W. Steele.


The present officers arc : W. M., Samuel Cannon ; S.W., C. A. Davenport ; J. W., J. M. Calkins; T., Alexander Kellas ; Sec., F. H. Hill; S. D., L. S. Belden ; J. D., J. M. Tallman ; Chap., F. P. Allen; S. M. C., Wm. Cady ; J. M. C., James E. Winters ; T., J. W. Winters ; Marshal, Wm. W. Wood; Trustees, E. W. Steele, W. W. Wood, F. H. Hill.


INDUSTRIAL.


William Beaumont had the first grist- and saw-mill in the town. It occupied the privilege that was subsequently purchased and used for many years by the Shedden family. C. P. & J. F. Shedden now own the privilege, consisting of a saw-mill, churn-factory, and a grist-mill. Knapp & Pratt own the sash-and-blind factory near by, and a tannery is owned by Esek Hawkins.


Robert R. Rood had two mills at an early day, about a mile east of Mooers village. He subsequently sold one mill to Bosworth & Goodrick. The site is now occupied by a starch-factory and carding-mill, owned by the Knapp family.


In 1841, James Fitch ereeted a fine saw-mill at Wood's Falls, and carried on business there for ten years. He then sold to a man named Tarbell, who soon sold to the Wood family, who have occupied all the privileges at that point since.


The pioncer mill of Robert Tripp, an early exportation from Canada, at that point has already been referred to.


In January, 1863, Wood Bros., of Chazy, and Frank Palmer, of Plattsburgh, erected the iron forge at Wood's Falls, which is still in successful operation. The forge com- prises five fires. The ore is brought from Port Henry and Arnold Hill, and the blooms are shipped away for the manufacture of steel. A large number of coal-kilns supply the fuel for the enterprise: five are at the forge, four at Cannon's Corners, three at Auger's, four at Wilson's, and three are on the turnpike. The enterprise is now under the sole charge of W. W. Wood. A saw-mill is also in operation near by.


In 1845 the Tripp mills were rebuilt, and again rebuilt, about 1869, by Wood Bros. The upper saw-mill, nearly a mile above, was built by James Fitch in 1841, and re- built by the Woods in 1865.


In the fall of 1874, Wood Bros. crected a pyroligneous acid manufactory, whieli they successfully conducted until a recent date. The acid was made in the usual way, by eondensing the vapor which is expelled in the burning of chareoal. To effect the desired object, the necessary ma- chinery of retorts, kettles, etc., were employed.


The Fountain Grist-Mills, at Mooers village, are operated by M. & E. Fitch. These occupy the site on which Hiram Messenger crected an carly mill.


Isaac & James Fitch (the latter for many years) carricd on a heavy lumber business at Thorn's Corners. M. & E. Fitch and John Whitney now have a fine starch-factory there.


In the spring of 1852, C. W. Rich, the proprietor of Rich's lime-kiln, in Swanton, Vt., commenced the manu- facture of barrels at Mooers Junction, for his own use at Swanton.


Two years later, during the winter of 1854 and 1855, the establishment was burned, and rebuilt the following spring, from which time it was kept running until Sept. 11, 1860, when it was again burned, and again rebuilt.


Although the business was established for the manufac- ture of lime-barrels for Mr. Rich's personal use, he now manufactures a large stoek for the trade. About 15 men are employed on an average for nine months, and about 1200 cords of wood are used annually.


In the west part of the town Asa Corkins built a saw- mill at the "forks" of the Chazy River, in 1838, and used it for many years. It then passed to Lueas Doolittle, of Champlain.


Mr. Corkins then bought of Rial Moore, of Champlain, an old mill which Waterhouse & Springer had erected many years before, on the north branch of the Great Chazy River, and used it for a long time, when it was destroyed by firc. No trace of it now remains. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Corkins purchased the mill operated by O. D. Corkins, of Moore, Clark & Co., and ran it about twenty years. It then passed to his son, O. D. Corkins, who now

runs it as a stave-, heading-, and shingle-mill, making 300,000 flour-barrel staves annually.


In the year 1867, Hutchins, Southwick & Bateman erected a gang-saw mill on a small stream northwest of Mooers Forks, which is still owned and operated by the firm, cutting 600,000 or 700,000 feet of timber annually.


A large number of other saw-mills, shingle-factories, chair-factories, and turning-mills have occupied the other fine privileges of the town, and have been operated by H. Fitch, M. Adsit, C. & N. H. Gate, Wingate & Brown, E. H. Armstrong & Bro., T. Armstrong, R. Shute, Miller & Dudley, C. L. Knapp & Co., G. Beardsley, Son & Co., and others.


Lumbering has been for many years the chief industry of the town. But now that timber is getting scarce, the inhabitants of the town are devoting more time to agricul- tural pursuits, to the great benefit of the town.


At Moocrs Forks, Francis & Hagar operate a fine grist- mill, a lumber-mill, have a fine store in course of erection, and engage extensively in farming. The grist-mill is a brick structure, and was built in 1865, by E. P. Francis, at a cost, including water construction, of $18,000. It has four run of stone, and is kept busy grinding grist for home consump- tion.


MILITARY RECORD.


During the war of 1812 but few settlers had located within the present limits of the town. All of those who performed active service in the army have probably been already mentioned in the history of the town of Champlain.


The town was active in the support of the Union cause during the Rebellion of 1861-65, and contributed her quota of men to the army with patriotic promptitude. The following is the list as compiled by the town clerk in 1865, Mr. John H. Phinney :
