Edgar's planning Mill Burned.

On Saturday morning at o'clock the
planning mill of T. H. Edgar at saltwater,
was discovered to be on fire. The flames
had gained such headway that ii was i'm
possible to stay them, and the mill and its
contents were entirely destroyed. The fire
is supposed to have caught from a hot
journal, as the water gate had been left
open and the wheel was running all night
There were 200 veranda posts doors and
sash, turned work, and 100, 900 feet of good
pine lumber burned up. The fire COM
muncated to the barn, and it too, was con-
sumed, with fifteen tons of hay, lot Of
grain, three fat hogs, sleighs, wagons, and
farm implements. The. total loss is about
$12, 900, with an insurance of $4,000 in
the Fishingcreek Insurance Company, only
thirds of which will be paid, according
to their regulations. This is severe blow
to Mr. Edgar, and his many friends through
the county will regret to learn of his mis-
fortune.
