On Satuttlayevening, alitrut eight okcloCk,e. most
alarming fire broke out• at a farm, at Weston, near'
Ilaldock ;in the occupation of Mr. Farr, which raged
with unabated fury, until the whble of the b

were corepletely 'destroyed ; five liorSes, three

ing element.---Unfortunately the tiitretinn,of the,
•wind was such as to carry the scattered pieceS. of -
flaming timber tOWartis another farm., oecupied
by Mr. %Vinney, the buildings -of which caughtt
fire, and although every assistance Ivy& gi.V01,04
was practicable, this Win, was doOined. to Shat,•
the same fate as the funnier, the %Oink of the
buildines being burnt to time ground, except th'e
dwelling-house. At this dread' fire, n great
quantity of corn, both in the barns and in atack,
&c. was destroyed ;• no less than 'eleven barns
stood upon those farms, and the premises alto-
gether are said to hare covered four acres of
ground. It is pairiftil to add, there is ttoebt
but that this catastrophe was.the wort: of some
villain or villains yet undiscovered. •
On Friday morning last, between. TO and I I
o'clock, a fire was discovered in the house of Mr,
Joseph Sharpe, of theta•WrAttiog, which, front
being a thatched building, was nearly destroyed,
together with great part of its contents. Fr,Jrn
information received, there •is strong reason 1.6
suspect it was wilfully set tire.

most tremendous fire broke out on the premises its

Abbott's-hall Form,Great' Wig-bormigh, in this
county, which in a short time entirely consumed
the whole of the tannery. standing upon nearly

the season, the flames gained so greet an ascent

destruction to the other property. There is too
much reason to conjecture that the fire .was Cella
