About 80 o'clock, Sunday evening,
the attention of Samuel G. Beardsley,
Esq, was arrested by the noise of Unusual
stamping back of his house and, stepping
to the window, be discovered the interior
of his barn in flames. Hastily lcalling
his hired man from an adjoining room,
they hurried to the building and succeed
ed in removing one horse and all the
cows except one. Two horses and one
cow and calf were consumed. Through
the kind aid of neighbors and friends
who soon assembled and who worked
with a will and forgetfulness of self de-
serving of all praise, the adjoining build
ings were saved. Besides the barn and
animals, about 10 tons of hay and straw
were burned. Loss estimated at $500,
mostly covered by insurance. AS no one
of the family had been near the barn
since o'clock and mo smoking was al
lowed about it, the fire could hardly have
been other than incendiary.

the people. The pastor, Rev Henry Da-
vies, preached from 1st Corinthians, XIV,
II. In the evening, the service was rem
dered by the Sunday school and was in
