Fire near Ricevi,ie-Strange Conduct OF
Turkeys.

RIoEvILLE (Tehama county,, December
16th.-Last night an old barn near this place,
belonging to George Hoag. was burned. j.
Mullen had 130 tons of hay stored in the
barn, which was burned. A. Heidrick lost
COW by the fire. The hay was insured for
81, 500 Heretofore large flock of turkeys
belonging to A. Heidrick have uniformly
roasted in this barn; most of them have
never known any other perch. They have
always roasted in the old barn. But on tt e
evening before the fire the turkeys for the
first time deserted the barn, and at roosting
time voluntarily chose perch near the
house. That night the barn was burned.
There was nothing to explain this change Of
base on the part of the turkeys, unless it is
admitted that the ghosts from the recent
Thanksgiving sacrifices came back to warn
their late fellows of the approaching danger.
Their escape by this unaccountable freak is
called special providence when relating to
human affairs. At all events the turkeys
changed from their accustomed perch with
out any apparent cause.
