BARN BURNED.-On Sunday night last,
about IL o'clock, the barn ofWilliam p.
Mccall. living on North River in this
County, on what is known as the North
River Abram Smith farm" was totally
destroyed by fire. At the time tie fire
was discovered it was too late to save
any of the contents of the building
One of the most distressing circumstan.
ces connected with the fire was the burn
ing of four valuable horses and mule
which were in the barn. The barn con.
tanned perhaps IS or 20 tons OF hay, and
some fodder, all of which was destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000 to
$4,000.
The fire was no doubt the work Of an
incendiary. A man named John Tay.
Tor has been arrested on suspicion of
setting fire to the barn.-Horison5urg

WASHING DIsHEs.--It seems that house.
keeners are all wrong in using soap to
vasl dishes. The right way to do is to
hase your water quite hot and add q
gerry little milk 20 it. This softens the
water, gives the dishes fine gloss. and
preserves the hands; it removes tho
erease, even that from beef, and yet no
crease is ever found floating on the wa.
