Fro Near New Castle.

The house on the farm OF the Eckles
brothers. near New Castle, took fire about
$50 O'Clock on Sunday evening. nnd was
entirely destroyed with the greater part
oil the contents. The peighbors turned
out in force, but so groat was the
progress Of tho flames thai they were I'M
able TO render much assistance. A few
men and boys dragged the Lenape Are
engine 10 the bouse, but the flames were
too far advanced before their arrival to
permit OF any effective work. The flames
broke out again this morning about i've
O'Clock 10 the debris, but did little or no
damage, as everything of value had al
ready been destroyel. The building aud
contents were fully insured In the Farm
ers' Mutual Company of this city. The
Eckles brothers have been rather unfor-
tunate, as their barn was struck by
lightning and destroyed some three years
ago, entaillng heavy loss.
