DARN BURNT.-On tuesday night last
the barn of Mr. JACOB LoENsrEIN, two and
a half miles east of Fremont was with its
contents entirely consumed. Mr.. L. had
just got in his hay and grain, which with
his wagon and harness was all reduced TO
heap of ashes. 1t was the work of an in-
cendiary. Such revenge as the application
of match to mans property, whether it
be for an imaginary or real injury, is ficnd-
ish, devilish. Where burglary is CON-
mitted there is hope of recovery of proper
ty, but in an act of this kind property is
destroyed, and the avenger dare not satisfy
his fiendish heart by telling his enemy he
did the deed. We did not learn tho loss of
Mr.. L. This is the fourth act of ncendi-
arism in this vicinity within a few weeks.

Mr. Pryor, one mile south of the centre of
town. Tho fremen and citizens made n
strong and rapid turn out but on learning
what the ire.was returned. The stack was
large, containing some fifty to sixty loads,
worth to Mr.. Pryor at least $50. A match
was undoubtedly applied by some malicious
person.

The farmers of sandusky County have
nearly finished their haying. The wheat
crop is secured, and much already threshed
out. The cat crop is almost failure, and
the price must advance very much. Corn
is coming on finely, and the prospect is good
for an average crop. The potato crop will
also be good. Fruit of all kinds, wo arc
sorry to say, will be scarce.
The Fire Department of Fremont, wish
it understood that competition for the pri-
zes on tho I'd is open to any Fire Company
who may wish to contest for the same.
