A FIRE - FIVE HOUSES BuRST,-
Last evening, between 0 and 10 O'Clock,
q fire occurred down the canyon, at
the residence of Mrs. Hill, half a mile
below Johntown, the particulars of
which are about as follows: A num-
ber Of friends and neighbors had been
invited to a little party, some coming
In their buggies and some walking.
Four buggies, with their occupants,
had arrived, and the horses put up In
n small barn, the hostler leaving a Ian
tern burn in the barn while he went
Of to weston's mill OF an errand.
The supposition Is that the horses got
to kicking and Knocked down the Ian
tern, the light in which set fire to the
hay on the floor. No n was present,
and while the invited guests were en-
Toying themselves in the house the
barn got into a blaze, and was burning
quite extensively before 1t was discov-
cred. There we're eight horses, with
their harness, In the barn, three Of the
animals breaking loose and escaping
from the burning building. but five of
the poor animals persisted In the flames.
One Of them, a beautiful and valuable
little sorrel mare, the pet of John w.
l.. Hunt and family, evidently broke
loose, after being considerably burnt,
aud left the burning building, but ran
back again and persisted. The ami
mails belonged to the following named
gentlemen: Two sorrcls, owned by
Hunt, Of the Bay State Mill, American
Flat, and valued at $500; two horses
and harness, from a livery stable In
Dayton, In charge Of J.. l.. Crockett,
valued at $500; two horses belonging
to DR.. Kirby. Of Silver City, II per-
ished, and the other slightly burnt,
damaged $500; two bay ponies, be-
longing to Mr.. Briggs, Of Johntown,
slightly burnt. Mr.. Hill also lost a
set Of harness and 4 saddle. The bug
gies had been unhitched near the barn,
but were hauled away in time to save
them, except Mr.. Briggs, the leather
top of which was injured. The perish
ing Of the poor animals was a sad acct
dent, and was deeply regretted BY the
company who had repaired to Mrs.
Hills residence for q pleasant even
ing's enjoyment.
