Fire In Chester Ceunty.
DESTRUCTION OF LARGE BARN AND CONTENT
AN INCINDIARYs WORK.

DESTRUCTION OF LARGE BARN AND CONTENTS
AN INCKNDIARY's WORK.
Thursday night about midnight, says the West
Chester Ne,os, the large stone barn Of Mr.. Dam
ial Caslin, In West Goshen township, on what is
known ~ the old Hopes Property, was burned
to the ground, together with four valuable hors-
es, all the crops Of the past season,
and complete collection Of farm
machinery. The dwelling was saved
by free application Of water in buckets.
At one time the house appeared in such danger
- to lead to the removal Of all the contents into
an adjoining field. One Of the horses by some
means found his way from the stable, but upon
reaching tho adjoining yard fell dead from suflo-
cation. Only Thursday Mr.. Caslin had just re-
ceived 500 bushels Of potatoes which with the Wa
gon were put into the barn, to but increase the
loss, which is vAriouAly estimated 1t from seven
to ten thousand dollars, and on which there is
not farthing's worth Of insurance. II ia stated
that the hay stored in the building was probably
- great in quantity ~ Ii contained in any one
barn In Chester county, and all the other crops
were proprotionately large The origin Of the
fire was undoubtedly the work Of an inoendiary.

THE PHILADELPHIA CLUBS UNABLE TO PARTICI-
PATE-A GIG CONTEST TO TAKE PLACE ON sATUR-
DAY.
The regatta Of the Christiana Navy, which
WAS to take place on Saturday next has beenspost-
poned indefinitely, (probably till next spriug,)
Oh account of the failure Of the Philadelphia
clubs to attend and participate, as was expected.
The sickness Of one or two Of their best oars
men necessitates their withdrawing the entries
which had already been submitted to the Naval
Board Of the Christians Navy.
In place Of the "full turn out" Of crews then
on Saturday, there will take place contest con-
fined to the racing gigs, belonging to the sew
eral clubs Of our own waters. This trial Of skill
will attract many who are interested in the par
Elephants ~ well ~ in the general increase Of
aquatic enterprise. The crews have been hard
at work training and promise their friends fine
trial on October 3rd.
Last evening, meeting Of the Naval Board
was held and the lots were drawn for the posi-
ton to be held by the respective crews. The
Pioneers drew the north side OF the stream; the
Undnes, the centre, and the Bachelors, the
south side. 1t will be seen by this, that the
courses Of the contesting clubs are thoroughly
changed about, and that whatever difference was
given in the last race by choice Of water, will be
amply adjusted by the present arrangement.
Let us see full representation Of our citizens
on Saturday to encourage the crews to do their
best The race will begin at $50 promptly.
