FIRE AT BARTON LANDNG.-The
store owned by Abraham Smith and &C.
cupied by Smith K Parker, at Barton
Landing. was destroyed by fire on We'd
nesday evening of last week, together
with the shed and barn which were con-
nected with the same.
The buildings were new last year, ana
the rooms in the second story were oc-
cupied by Mr. Smiths family as dwell
ins house. The fire, when first dlscov-
cred. was in the barn, and in few min
ufes the whole buildings were wrapped
in flames. A large number of the lnhab-
ilants of the village and surrounding
country, were on the spot in short time
after the alarm was given, and by their
exertions succeeded in saving large
share of the contents Of the buildings.
The goods were removed from the
dwelling house Of Judge Willard with
the expectation that it would be burned ;
bur hard work aud free use Of water
saved it, although hut few feet distant.
Fortunately there was but little wind,
for, had il been otherwise large share
of the village mus; have been destroyed.
The fire was first seen about eleven
o'clock, and as there had been no light
carried to the barn that night, we are
forced to believe that it was the work OF
some "demon in human shape" Who
ever did the deed, we think ii he had
heen placed in the centre of the burning
building he would not have received
much assistance about getting out. In
,ured in the Vermont Mutual for $500
on the buildings, which were worth sew
pral hundred dollars more than the in
surance, and the goods were also insur-
ed in the same company.

Mrs. Holland claimed the secession flag to be

As the Captain could not obtain possession of it
without using violence to lady who was in q
