Friday, the 18th inst. at about o'clock
p. M, Albert w. Purinton and the young
est son of Benjamin Hanks went into Versil
w. Morgan's barn, then occupied by MIR.
Hanks, to feed a span of horses belonging
to Mr.. Purinton. Young Hanks carried
the lantern on to the hay and accidently
dropped it, putting ont the light. He
Immediately lighted it with match, and
carefully observing that they had set moth
ing on fire they left the barn. Mr.. Purin-
ton went few rods TO store-house to get
a bucket of feed, and as he started back
he discovered light through the window
in the upper part OF the barn, and immedi-
ately gave the alarm. 1t is supposed that
the hay caught fire from the match after
lighting the lantern, and was briskly burn
ing when first discovered. Every one that
heard the alarm ran with pals of water and
soon extinguished the flames. but the fire
was making rapid progress underneath and
was impossible to get to 1t until the hay
had been pitched out, which was very diff
cult, as the smoke was SO dense that no
one could stand it but a minute, anl a
number came very near suffocatDg. The
only damage done was the burning and
smoking of about one ton of hay, it being
ali that there was in the barn, besides black
ing and searching the inside of the barn
some. 1t was very fortunate for the owner
of the barn thai 1t had rained all day 60
that there was good stream of water run
ming under it, otherwise they would have
had to bring water from the river, nearly
twenty rods distant. No insurance
