The most destructive fire that ever
visited the Big Valley was that which
occurred at Reedsville on Moudoy
night !ast, destroying the warehouse
of Rice & H'nry and two adjoining
dwellings. Tho fire started in the
warehouse. and was first discovered
between two aud three o'clock Tues.
day morning. too late, owing to lack
OF water anl other means, to bring
the fire into subjection. The ware.
house contained alb bjut 5000 bushels
of wheat, 2OJ bushels of clover scel, y
car load of salt. q quantity of bran,
and the articles usually kept in n
warehouse. Very little, If any, Of the
wheat can he used, but the salt seem
ed to have suffered little injury. The
books of the warehouse were saved
There was an insurance Of 81 600 H.

Phoenix Of London and and $1,000 in
the Kishacoquillas Valley Mutual.
The dwelling houses were occupied
by Wm. Henry and Sal'io Taylor and
their housholi effects were all remov-
ed by the active neighbors. Tho ware
house aud one dwelling were owned
by q. Clifford Rice. aud were insured
in tho Valley Comp,ny for nearly So

Miss Taylor, and was not insure |.
The dwelling house of Peter Swine
hart, about - feet from the ware
house, was in great danger, but wa.
saved by the active Efforts OF the peo-
pie.
The total loss by the fire is placed
at $35. .OO0; total insurance, about sij,
900. A portion ofthc wheat was on
storage. There hal been no fire al
