Il Bethany, ut Waverly, was on Satur-
day, about I Il. m, found to be on fire,
and burnt rapidly, there being but very
little of the wheat saved. There were
some ten thousand bushels of wheat il
the house, Of which Hail & Bellamy
owned three thousand, with an insuranc,
of 81, 800. The balance of the whea
belonged to the surrounding farmers
on which there was little if any insu
rance. The building was a two stor,

money which the wheat would hav,
brought would have, no doubt, beeI
spent mostly ut home.
