THE Fourteenth Annual District Fair
of the Barnesville Association, was held
at that place last week. On Monday and
Tuesday, first two days, it rained pretty
much all the time, and all connected
with the Association felt very blue over
the prospect; but on the last two days
there was splendid Fair weather. The
display of articles in the halls is report
ed as better than ever before; and the
stock display was up to former years
and in cattle and sheep probably sur
passed any fermer exhibition. There
was an excellent display of farm imple
ments, all run by steam and horse pow
er. As TO how they came out financially,
we are not informed, but it is not likely
they made money enough 10 be fiush.
On last Thursday night between II
and IL O'clock, the large barn of VIM. E.
Clark, about 4 miles west of town, was
burned to the ground, together with the
contents, among which were $50 bushels
of wheat, 80 tons of choice hay. 10 bush
els of oats, a moving machine. good
wagon and there was also in the barn
a threshing machine, belonging to Mr..
Alvin Berry, valued at about $500. Mr..
Clark estimates his entire loss at about
$4,000. on which was an insurance of
81 ,000-$l 800 on the building and $500
on the contents. The light of the fire
was plainly visible from town, and those
who were about at that hour, say 1t was
light enough to read newspaper print.
The fire was probably the work of an
incendiary, as no fire had been about the
barn for some time. Mr.. Clark, h0wev,
ever, is charitable enough to suppose
the lire to have been caused accidentally
by some one who was pilfering about
the barn, having dropped a burning
match.

We learn from the Scotch papers that
gale from the southeast which sprung
up at Aberdeen continued to blow furi-
ously during the day, and afforded an
opportunity to test the efficacy of the in.
fusion of oil among the breakers at the
pier-hcad. Tnc experiment was tried
under the au ,pices of the. Harbor Com
missiontrs. The gale, which ragged with
great fury, give every opportunity for
putting the matter fully to the test.
About ~ gallons of oil were infused in.
TO the water by means of three valves,
and the effect was very gratifying. The
force of the waves was considerably
subdued. and the harbor entrance rem
| dered much safer.
