BARS BcRSr-On Sunday night last. about
O'Clock, the large barn on the property Of
Joseph Kelley, in the eighth district, Balti.
more county, situate near the nine mile stone,
on the York turnpike, was discovered to be
on fire. VIM. $. Treadwell, Jr., occupies the
farm at present, and loses very heavily in
provender, implements, &c Mr.. Treadwell
had been in the barn at o'clock to feed his
stock, and the fire took place at I. All the
stock in the barn was saved, though when Mr..
lreadwell went in the FIRE was among the
stalls, and it was with great difficulty that the
stock was removed. The barn was built some
years since ut a cost of s., 200, and there is an
insurance upon it in the Mutual Fire Insnr-
anee Company of Baltimore county to the
amount of $1,000. Mr.. 1readwell's loss is
about ; 800, upon which there is no insur.
ance. Tn loss falls very heavily upon him.
The fire is supposed to have been the work Of
an iueendiary. -B Baltimore Sun.

The WEATHER.-This is very common.
place and haekneyed subject nevertheless il
is one which concerns everybody. During the
past week the changes have been very sudden
and extreme. Saturday and Sunday the tenn.
perature was hyperhorean, the wind keen and
cutting from the Northwest, ice forming rap.
idly. Monday brought change, the temper
allure raising suddenly, the wind from the
Southwest, with heavy showers in the even.
ing, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
The wind veered suddenly to Northwest
again, and blew a hurricane. Corn fodder in
the fields was scattered in every direction,
and fences blown down, but fortunately the
tempest was of short duration. The temper
AZURE again suddenly lowered, the sky was
overcast with thick nimbus clouds, and Tues.
day morning brought binding snow storm,
which lasted, however, only for a brief period.
The weather, since, has been somewhat more
settled, but cold and bracing. If this is
foretaste of the winter before us, IT is likely
TO be a severe one.

ADJUSTMENTS IN WESTMINSTER town is
dull say some of the younger portion of
our citizens. No ''hops, except the wither.
ed ones still elinging to the vines in the gar.
dens. No ''sociables,n our townspeople are
SO unsociable that they would rather die of
eRRai than afford each other little social en-,
Joyment. A surprise party would be the
greatest surprises imaginable, and there is
not wedding in prospect to relieve the dull
m0notonous round of Westminster society.
The "Ioung Peoples Union has died nat
ural, or an unnatural death, and there is
nothing to I'LL the vacuum il has left There
Is, We believe, Debating Society at the West
End, and Reading Circle somewhere, but
where is more than we can tell. As 10 mu.
sic, It is n strange, unfamiliar sound, rarely
heard, except the footing of solitary horn or
two, as some member of the Band passes
along the street to or from the hall of rehears-
al At Wheelers, one occasionally hears the
sound OF VOL or the piano. and the passer.hy
has the privilege Of hattening his nose against
the windOw'pane in order to find out what is
going on within. As TO concerts, lectures, tab.
leaux, charades, etc. etc. one never hears of
such things, and our quiet little city is stran.
ger to such amusements. We live in hone.
however, that as the Christmas HOLIDAYS are
approaching, a change for the better may
come. A Sunday School or Missionary an.
niversary, or the chit-chat of a '!Sewing Cir.
Gle would be some relief Or, a rousing
snow.storm, q good honest foot deep, to set
the sleigh-bells gingling and infuse little life
into our s0mnolent town, would be esteemed
special favor Just now

ORE BANK LEASE LITIGATION. The case of
LewisJ. Dellone and c. j. Dellone rs. Henry
kraber and Dr. G. NJ. Mes, in an action Of
convenant brought on lease of an ore bank.
by plaintiffs agains, defendants, was brought
before York County Court on Tuesday after.
noon week. After examining the witnesses
the case was duly argued and given TO the
jury, which failed to agree and we're discharg.
ed. The facts involved, are thus reported In
the York Gazette, and may be of interest to
the owners Of ore-banks in Carroll county:
Messrs. Kraber L Mes leased field in which
ore was embedded, from Messrs. Dellone on
the following terms: The lease was for forty
years. Two thousand tons of ore were TO
be taken out each year, at one dollar per ton
provided sufficient ore and water were on the
field to take that much out to advantage. The
lessees went to work in 1868 and worked nine
months and then discontinued operations.
During that time nineteen hundred tons of
ore were taken out, and two thousand and
nifty dollars were paid to the lessons. The
suit was for the first quarters money of the
second year. The defendants allege that
after paying from what ore they took out, they
ceased operations for the fact that ''no merch.
antable ore is left fit for use in blast furnace,
and not sufficient water to wash and mine two
thousand tons per year with advantage
