consumed by fire, together with two
horses, one colt, two steers, and about
three hundred bushels of wheat, two
hundred bushes of oats, large mount
OF hay aud straw, thresher, reaper aud
many farming implements, Two other
horses we're badly burned one to such
a degree that he was taken to the woods
and killed The fire was discovered
about twelve O'Clock, at which time il
had gained so much Roadway that buttwo
of the horses could be gotten out then
not until burned as stated The fire
undoubtedly was the work of an incen
diary. A horse of Mr.. Billing cannot
be found, aud it is believed by many
the animal was stolen, and the barn set
on FIRE to elude detection of the the
theft or pursuit. The loss of Mr., Bow.
man is about three thousand dollars.
but we understand the building was

pany Mr.. Jacob Billing, tenant of

The rage for the possession of these pre-
cious stones 80 much increased after the reve-
Iation of their extreme beauty by Van
Berehem, that Paris Alone in the time Of the
Cardinal Mazarin-who was a great diamond
fancier-supported seventy five diamond cut
ters. In England also we're several renowned
lapidaries, whose work was so perfect that
are much priced. The art, however, in this
country has declined.
In the Middle Ages extravagant use was
made Of diamonds as well as of other precious
stones. The descriptions Of some of the state
dresses worn in those days appear almost
fabulous. Take the dress worn by Queen
Mary on the occasion Of her marriage with
Philip the Second of Spain, for instance. II

III the Eastern monarchs wore diamonds
about their persons, it was principally be-
cause they regarded them as talismans, as
having magical properties and the same
belief was shared by all nations. Serapius
ascribes to this gem the power of keeping at
at safe distance lemures, incubes, and sue
cubos; and of making men courageous and
magnanimous. 1t was also thought to nullify
the attractive power of the magnet. The
Indians believe that diamond-powder taken
into the mouth causes the teeth to fall out;
and that the stone acts as preservative
against lightning.
There is mention in history of a cloak of
Charlemagnes, the clasp of which was formed
by two diamonds; and in the inventory of
the effects of the Duke of An jou, in 1860 or
1868, diamond cut into the form of a shield
is amongst the list of valuables. 1t was not,
however, until the time of q clever lapidary
of the name of Hermon, in the beginning of
the fifteenth century, that glimpse was OBJ
tanned of the real magnifcence of the dia-
mond as an article of ornament; but it was
reserved for Louis Van Berghem, forty years
later, to discover the method of cutting the
diamond into regular facets, thus revealing
the Jewel in its full beauty. He established a
guild of diamond-cutters in Bruges; but his
pupils, driven from this place by the intoler-
ance of the priests, afterwards settled in Ant
werp and Amsterdam. The latter town still
has the repute of possessing the first dia-
mond-cutting factory in the world. 1t was
here, in the establishment of M. Coster, that
the Koh-i-noor was reeut in 1852
The operation may more properly be de-
scribed as grinding than cutting. The stone
is applied to the surface of a flat iron plate,
covered with oil and diamond-dust, and ro-
tating with great velocity. The extreme nicety
required in diamond-cutting may be imagined
when it is remembered that nultitudes OF

thousand to weigh single carat
