tanned all the implements belonging to the
farm, consisting of mower, horse rake, feeder,
self binder, plows, harrows, etc, aud new
top buggy belonging to the overseer, Adam
Amos. The previous day they had been kill
ing hogs, and had the FIVE they had killed,
weighing 1900 pounds, in the barn at the
time Of the fire, aud as Adam expressed 1t,
There was not even greasy spot left OF
them" A live hog was also burnt. He can
not account for the FIRE. The loss is about
81 900, on which was an insurance on the
barn Of 5000. and $3.50 on the implements,
both in the Fire Association Of Philadelphia
The other buildings on the farm are well In
sured, but as this one was only used az a
store room, no danger vas apprehended.
The county com missioners kept all the county
property insured, and 1t Is proper that they
should. There should have been e larger
insurance on the farm implements.

II 70 the public as a secret, that a gentleman
from this city who was at Minneapolis attend
ing the banquet given at the new West hotel
has made a grand discovery. 1t appears
that among the other rare dishes supplied
we're oysters, OF which our citizen Is very
fond. and while masticating them he found
goodly sized pearl. lie put It in his pocket
with the greatest care, In order that be might
have it DULY set and presented TO his excel

ness cares put the pearl from his mind, but
on Friday evening while sitting in the bosom
Of his family ne suddenly recollected the
valuable find, and putting his hand in his
pocket he drew the treasure forth. All came
round to examine 1t. The light was made
to burn more brightly, aud In order that be
might see II 10 the very best advantage, and
the manner in which II should be cut, he
put his eyeglasses In position aud exhibited
that which would delight every heart in the
household. There was a deep silence, which
was broken by the voice of his good lady re-
marking; 81 have my own opinion Of man
who would go to dinner at the West house
and come home with lemon rind in his
pocket suppOsIng 1t 10 be pearl" The
smile that went round was an audible one,
whilst the gentleman uttered not a word but
did large amount Of thinking, and came 10
the conclusion that the next time he found
q pearl be would examine It when no one
was around. He can not see how that pearl
could turn into lemon rind in such short
time, as Il was pearl at Minneapolis, and
the change of climate coming home must
have transmogriaed II.
