FIRE FROM A MACHLNE.-On Wednes-
day afternoon week, whilst the machine
of Messrs. NARROW & Anderson was en-
gagged in ,threshing the crop Of wheat
on the walnut Farm" of the late DR..
w. +. Alexander, near Halltown, some
of the journals of the machine became
heated, and in q short time burst out
into an,inextin guishable flame. Before
the fire was arrested, it had destroyed
some two hundred bushels of wheat, III
to IL tons of hay, $50 bushels of oats in
stack, 25 to 80 bushels of clover seed,
and large lot of straw and fodder. The
thresher Of the machine was also de.
stroyed, but the horse power sustained
little or no damage. The wheat be-
longed to DR.. John A. SIraith. the pres
ent owner of the farm, and Mr.. Solo
mon Flemming, former tenant. The
provender and clover seed were jointly
the property of DR.. S. and Mr.. F. D.
Boyer, the present tenant, upon whom
the loss falls with great weight. The
latter had made ample provision for kis
stock during the winter, which has thus
been swept away in few hours, leaving
him with little to 90 upon fer the long
and dresry months that are before him.
