Heavy Loss BY Lightning.


We are sorry to learn of the burn
ing, by lightning, last Saturday A.
ternoon, Of the Earns of Messrs,
Jos. .Rothrock and Peer Freed, of Van
Buren, township. Mr.. Rothrock'a
loss will probably reach $4,000, %
his entire crop Of wheat. oats, old
corn, forty tons of hay, 200 bushels
of fiaxseed, and all his farming i'm
plements were burned up. We have
not learned the extent OF Mr.. Freed's
loss, but presume it will be heavy,
a. the entire contents Of his barn
we're also consumed. Very unfortun-
ately there was not q dollar of in
surance in either case. This mis-
fortune falls very heavy on two very
industrious and deserving citizens.

Facts Worth Considering.

Facts Worth Considering.
The people Of Hancock county are
getting fully wakened up to the i'm
portance of good bridges, and are
now determined to put up none but
the best structures. The best wood
en- bridge now made is generally
conceded to be Smiths Patent Truss
Bridge, for which Messrs. Yocum &
Altman are the only agents for this
county. These gentlemen have put
up three of these bridges in this
county, and the people have been
unanimous in the opinion that they
cannot be excelled. Messrs. Yocum
q Altman are "number one'' mechan.
les, and are not afraid to have any
work they put up thoroughly exam.
ined and tested. Another fact that
should be borne in mind is, that they
are the only authorized agents for
this county. Their address is Find
lay, Ohio, where they may be reached
at all times by letter. n17tf.
