eloquence being practical farmer, Of many
years experience, he is enabled to tell farm
ersin plain common sense just what they want,
aud so explain the objects of the Grange as
TO make it easily understood. We sincerely
hope that the several meetings may be largely
attended. This county, with population OF
$4,000, has only four Oranges, while others
with not half the population have more than
double that number. Agriculturists stand in
their own light by not connecting themselves
with the Grange. They are beneficial not
only in business way, but socially, and bring
the farmers together more frequently

northeast of Manchester. were entirely de.
stroyed by IRE on Thursday evening, the 18th
instant. The fire originated in the smut box,
from the heating Of gudeon Of the smut ma :
chine. During the day Mr. Shippers atten-
ton was drawn, by some parties, who came
10 the mill, to peculiar odor that pervaded
the air, but upon examination. he thought il
was caused by the gravel passing through the
smut machine, aud not experimenting any
danger, he gave il no more attention until
about dark, when the deTouriug element man
ifested itself through the roof, and was be-
you'd control. Very little grain was saved
They succeeded in removing most of the
goods, including two kegs Of powder, and a
barrel Of coal oil, from small store that Mrs
S. kept in the mill. Mr. Shippers loss is
estimated at $1,000, insured in the Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance Company Of Dug Hill
for $1,000. Among others who had grain in
the mill, was Mr.. Vim. Miller, who had rent
ed the mill and farm. He had hauled the last
