one mile South of Waugh's Point, WAS
burned to the ground in the afternoon
Of the 18th inst, which we mentioned
few days ago. The family were all
away from home. The main building
was two storys high, 26x2S, with an
ell in the rear Mr. Neff was at work
in his corn field and his wife at q
neighbors. The fire was first discov-
cred in the roof and it is supposed to
have originated from defective flue,
or q spark from the. chimney. The
fire had got so nuder headway that
when MIR. Neff reached the house he
was only able 10 save la Bureau con-
tanning some clothing and valuable
papers. 1t WAS pretty near a clean
loss of everything. Some out houses
were also burned and part Of his
hay. 1t was very fine farm house,
one of the best in that part of the
country. Mr.. Neii had only $500 In
surance on the house in the American
of Chicago. No Insurance on the
contents OF the house. The loss is a
very severe one on Mr.. Neff, who is a
very industrious and worthy citizen.
Ills fine barn was in imminent danger
from q burning straw stack and bay,
but many neighbors having arrived, d
water brigade was formed from the
well and through their pluck and en-
ergy the barn was saycd. Mr.. Nefi
desires us to return to his neighbors
his sincere thanks for their sid and
sympathy. He Ia now rebuilding and
expects to be able to get into his new
house in short time. His entire loss
