4 De1sWasean's Loss In Virginia.
The Shenandoah Valley, published a
New Market, Virginia, August oath.
states that on Thursday about o'clock
p. m, Mr.. James M. Bradford's fine
barn with all It's contents. situated 0
miles south Of this place, was consum.
by fire, caused by stroke Of lightning.
A large number Of people gathered In,
as soon ~ possible, and made every
effort to save property, but the flames
being no rapid, nothing was saved but
two horses and their harness.
Three horses with their harness on
were burned up, 80 tons Of hay, ovel
700 bushels of wheat which had been
thrashed day or two ago, carriage
and harness, drills, buggy-rake, and, in
fact, all his farming implements, straw,
etc.
Loss about 81, 600, insurance. S2,OOO.-
This was, perhaps, one of the best, il
not the finest and most conveniently ar
ranged barns in the country; whilst
his farming implements were OF the
beet.
Mr.. James NJ. Bradford alluded to
is the sou of John Bradford, we'll
known AZ q prominent member of Della
ware Avenue Church, of this city, and
a successful farmer near Newport, Del.
In the same number of the paper re-
ferred to a correspondent alludes to Mr..
Bradford in very complimentary
manner. He says he found full corps
of Sunday school workers organized
and under the superintendency OfJames
M. Bradford, formerly of Orkney
Springs notoriety. He further says:
Mr.. j. NJ. Bradford and lady and his
son Robert are Episcopalians. The
latter is now living with his grand:
father, Mr. Jno. Bradford, in Delaware,
WHO being unwell desired the services
of his grand son in the management of
his farm. Mr.. j. NJ. Bradford expressed
to me the great loss he feels in the
absence of his son, and the community
are sorry to lose a young man Of the rare
qualifications OF Robert Bradford.
Mr.. Bradford makes success of
everything he engages in his farm
shows thrift and enterprise, AZ did the
springs and other property he has had
in our old Dominion. He has identiti.
ed himself with us far back as 1852. In
this time he has built up three proper
ties and headed the enterprise of the
fine turnpike road from Mt. Jackson to
Orkney Springs, and also assisted the
former County Superintdt. OF schools,
Capt. j. II. Grabill, of Shenandoah
County, in building up the free school

the corner of the building, seemed to
have travelled along the iron with
which the racks were covered, and set
all the hay on fire at once. The horses
all fell to the ground. Most Of them
rose again quickly but sixteen we:e
found to be dead, and two were quite

I HIRD EDITION,
Ltght for Mav1nors.

WASHINGTON, August N.-The an
nual report of Col mel w. f. Reynolds,
Engineer in charge of the Fourth Light
house district, which includes part Of
the State of New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland, has been received by the
Lighthouse Board.
The necessary measurement OF llluml-
mating apparatus have been made at
many of the stations, with q view to the
introduction OF mineral oil in tirst-order
lights.
With regard to the Cape Henlopen
beacon, Colonel Reynolds says that IN
January last he called attention to the
fact that the sea was encroaching upon
the ocean side Of the station, the high
water line being under the lighthouse
structure, and that unless some favor
able change occurred the question OF
the pro ection of the structure would
soon have to be met Since that time
examinations and measurements have
been made, which show that from April
9 to May 26, 1883, the ordinary high
water line had receded from the site of
hundred feet and that the level of sand
under and around the beacon had risen
about twenty inches. This favorable
change is probably due to the wreck of
the bark Minnie Hunter, which lies
near the beacon and acts as jetty, and
it may, therefore, be only temporary.
