of logs and lumber, destroyed b- fire one i
night last week. The origin of the FIRE is
somewhat of mystery, though the general !
presumption is that it was the work of an
incendiary. The mill was insured for 5000 l

Rev. J. w. Thomas. of Barre township
Huntington county, was found lying dead
on the road near his residence on Monday
evening of last week, with loaded gun
by his side. There were marks of vio-
lence on his person, ard the presumption
is that he died of apoplexy or heart disease.
He was a sound aud hearty man, and his
death is a surprise To everybody.
So far as have observed in looking
over our exchanges, the sheep law has been
defeated in every county in which a vote
was taken upon it. and yet it is not to be
denied that a proper law the subject
ought to be passed for the protection of sheep
against their wholesale destruction by ortll-
less, midnight proving dogs. Perhaps the
coming Legislature will be equal 10 the task.

county, has, we understand, been appointed
to fill the vacancy at Summitvill5, this
county, caused by the recent death of Rev.

the most Jealous and devoted priests in the
diocese, and we are glad welcome him
back to Cambria.
