A FIRE ON WHEELs.--Last Sunday s.
Keele was engaged in hauling load OF
hay to town from the valley with two
yoke of oxen. Between Phoebe and Bull
lionville the hay took FIRE from lighted
pipe. Keele was off at the back of the
wagon when be discovered the fire and
rua up to the wagon and commenced
throwing burning portions off so IS to
save the balance, but the flames had too
good u start and il was impossible to ex-
tinguish them. The oxen becoming
scared at the flames and suffering from
the intense heat started Oft on q run,
scattering the burning hay in all direo-
tons. By the breaking OF the tongue
the oxen managed to get loose and thus
escape being roasted alive. although one
Of the animals was severely burned and
ia liable to die. The wagon and hay is a
total loss. 1t is surprise to US that
such accidents as this are not of frequent
occurrence for it is very common to see
in this section a man mounted on top OF
a load Of hay smoking pipe or cigar
cite, and sometimes several men. We
will inform Mr.. Keele, although he may
think that we are joking, that this thing
OF smoking a pipe on top Of hay stack
is very dangerous practice.
