The fire. which destroyed the buildings of
Thomas Fields. Saturday night. about mile
aud half out on the Or. Cony road, was, it
is believed Of incendisry origin. The fire
was not discovered until the barn was a mass
OF flames, and it was naturally supposed that
the animals, COW and pair Of steers, had
persisted in the flames. The family was
somewhat astonished the next morning to
discover the animals quietly grazing in the
pasture near by. The COW was slightly
seorched. but the steers were not
injured. 1t was thought AT first
that the animals might have broken their
chains and thus affected their escape The
chain that held the COW was weak one. and
had been broken and mended with a piece of
rope. This was broken where it had been
mended, but the other chains were strong
ones, and it was evident that they had been
uniastened. This proves that the one who
set the buildings on fire must have had a ten
der heart, and loosened the cattle to save their
lives.
