this town, was entirely destroyed by fire last
Thursday. The fire caught from the cook stove,
while ali the family were absent haying, except
Mrs. Austin, who not being well, was up stairs
lying down. She smelt the smoke, got up and
found the kitchen in blaze. The barn caught
fire from the house, but was saved by the efforts
Of the ncighbors. But little of the furniture was
saved. We understand that Mr.. Austin's house
was insured for 81 900. This is hard blow for
Mr.. Austin, as the. house was a new one and he
