The LaInbs.-From all accounts the
storm of last Monday a week ago was a
severe one on the young lambs. The Bu-
cyrus Journal says that not less than a
thousand perished in that county alone,
and that the plains south of town are dot
ted all over with dead lambs. Both mercy
and economy suggest the owning of more
sheds and fewer sheep.

Fire.-The usual quiet of our town was
disturbed on last Friday afternoon by the
alarming cry of fire, and a few moments
after the alarm was given. the stable on
what is known as the Sigler property. and
which was occupied by Watson & Harder
as livery stable. was completely envelop-
ed in flames and in less time than it has
taken us to write these few words, the fire
had reached the stable Of Capt. Ayres, on
the opposite side Of the alley, which was
also occupied by the above gentlemen as a
livery stable. This occupied so short a
space of time that it was with great diff
Guilty that the horses were got ont of the
stables. several gentlemen getting cor
siderably scorched in their efforts to save
the dumb brutes. From thence the destruc-
tive element spread to the stables of Sam
uel Smith and Lewis Jury, and it did its
fearful work with such rapidity, the build
ings and their contents being of such. a
combustible nature, that up to this the eff
forts of our people to stay its progress
were unavailing, and these buildings were
also soon wrapped in flames. So
At this iuncture it was the general
opinion that all the frame buildings in the
immediate neighhorhood of the burning
stables would be destroyed, and that the
chances were very much against saving
even the large brick blocks on Main Street,
but by the superhuman efforts of the peo-
then burning. The ware-room of the
Beery brothers took fire. but our citizens
met the flames in their destructive march
with degree of energy and nerve at
which they were astonished themselves
afterward-this was where the fight had
to be made, and most nobly did our people
enter the conflict with the devouring ele-
ment, contending for the ground inch
by inch. Their efforts were successful
the building was saved, and all breathed
easier, for if the progress of the fire had
not been stayed right there, we are of the
opinion that to-day the business portion
of our town would be a mass of ruins.
We are not advised as to the loss of our
ncighbors whose property was destroyed.
In addition to the destruction of the build
ings. Messrs. Watson & Harder lost large
amount of harness, a fine sleigh, moving
machine and much other valuable proper
ty, while Samuel Smith had three or four
hogs burned. Of course there was a good
deal of personal property destroyed, and
it is difficult to estimate the losses of the
several parties. "

On tine fanlsof the Maritime Alps, near, the vii
laee. of Castiglione, has long been known an
openiBg in the face u the rock, giving entrance
to asvsst groato. To approach this there was no
road or path, and yet it showed evident traces
that the han& Of man had modified the work Of
nature. Some short time since three Engltshmen
determined to make an attempt at exploring it,
and, taking, advantage of the assures and prsiec-
tions Of the rock, enc of tllem reachadthe OPEN
ing and lowering cord, assisted the others to
aaoant. En- the middle Of the grott0 they found
Q large circular hole, and one of them attaching q
rope to himself, descended. At the depth of
shout forty yards he landed in another large cave,
but, lathe former case, with the circular aper
tnre in the center. Determined toe continue his
exploring, he was obliged to set one Of his
friends 10 deseand to the second cave to lower
him TO tAe third, which being done he found at a
depth OH about sixty yards repetition Of the cir
| cumstaaees, but was prevented from descending
any iugther as the cord was not long enough, and
they taen returned III the same manner to their
companion in the first grotto. This. cavern is
supposed to have sesyed as resting plaee 10 the
