Destructive FIRE Is MYIRs' DIsrRlcT.
On last Saturday afternoon the dwelling
house of Mr.. Peter Kump was entirely con
sumed by fire, with all its contents. II ap.
pears that small building, bake oven, dry
house and wood house, all attached to each
other, were put up near the dwelling house,
and Mrs. knmp had been baking in the oven
in the morning as usual In the afternoon
Mrs. hump and her sister, Miss Leppo, went
up the meadow, around hill, where they
were out Of sight of the house, to potato
patch to take out some potatoes, and Mr..
hump being with his son, Josiah kump, about
two miles distant, consequently there was no
one near or in sight of the house when the
fire was first discovered by Daniel I.eppc's
family, who at once rang the dinner bell and
attracted the attention Of the neighbors. By
the time the neighhors arrived the small
building which had the oven attached was al
most entirely consumed, and the dwelling
wrapt in flames. The roof of the house and
q pile Of manure and straw in the barn.yard
then took fire. There was a large spark
lodged on the roof Of the barn, but by the ex-
ertions of the neighbors in throwing water on
it, the barn and hog house were saved, except
a small portion of the roof of the latter, which
was burned. All the bedding, household fur
niture and clothing, together with account
books, notes and about S200or more in mon
ey, in short, everything in the house, except
few bushels of potatoes, a few pies and
bread that were taken out of the cellar. ltis
generally supposed that the fire originated at
the bake oven. The house was log and
weatherboarded. Mr.. Kump is making pre-
paration to rebuild Immediately Of brick No
insurance.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

SrReEI ScRAPlSe.--A farmer who has the
reputation Of being good Que, said hewonld
not haul street dirt upon his land il il was
given to him, for il would moi pay fer the
hauling. Other farmers holda different opn.
ION, aud believe street dirt to be q valuable
fertilizer, particularly on heavy clay land.
This opinion is supported by the Gartiaer's
Monthly, an extract from which we publish
below, in view Of the fact that the corporate
authorities of Westminster intend to have the
main street scraped before winter sets in, so
as to relieve it, as much as possible, from
mud and dust, and any one desiring to haul
away these scrapings upon their land, should
make application TO the Mayor, OF once.
Hereisthe article feom tho Ganiner' = Monthly:
Road SdAd.'-The sand obtained from turn'
pixies, or roads macadamized with any sort Of
granite, hard blue stones, very difficult to
break and pulverize, has a peculiar value.
The grinding Of such rocks or stones under
the iron-rimmed wheels Of wagons, the wear
Of horse shoes, and the mixture Of this ground
rock with the manure scattered along the
roads, prodneesa compound which is found
to be highly acceptable to trees and plants.
The granite rock, lpnlverized lime stone is bet.
ter than granite) we know is rich in potash and
silica, but il is not these elements alone which
give this road sand its peculiar value. BY the
process Of grinding and triturating inert sub
stances, such as oyster shells, charcoal, quick
silver, we develop medicinal and other yir-
tues which these substances do not possess in
their crude state. And so it is supposed to
be with road sand. By the constant grinding
and tritnrating Of the iron-bcand wheels and
horse shoes, the comminuted granite becomes
prepared for the use Of plants; and when this
road sand is mixed well with the compost
remarkable manner. Under the influence Of
the road sand Of this kind alone, it is said
that when applied TO lawns, white clover is
sure to spring up in the greatest luxuriance
and abundance where il was never seen before.
