 Prescott, 4. T., Aug. 3.-Just af- ter services had commenced last night in the Methodist church here, a coal oil lamp was seen burning too high, when a member of the congregation attempted to regulate the flame. In doing so the lamp of burning oil was upset on the carpet, causing a conhagration, destroying the church building. Before the lamp was discovered 1t had become so heated that the top was melted of, and overturning the burning oil was split on the clothing of man named Sharp who was sitting inn mediately under it. He rushed through the congregation with the flames running up his back higher than his head. Several ladies had a narrow escape from having their clothing ignited. Henry Evans, a member of the church, was consid- erably burned in-assisting Sharp to get his burning coat off. The lat ter's back and head was seriously burned. Several persons made their escape through windows, among them being a soprano mem- Der of the choir, who was slightly injured. No casualty happened, although a panic occurred. Egress through one door of the church was prevented on account of the lamp falling in the aisle.
 The flames spread so rapidly that only few seats in the rear of the church were saved. All the other furniture and books weredestroyed.

came among the people of Moulton and be
gan to solicit mineral leases on the lands sur
rounding this town for eight or ten miles liz
every direction. The people had so often beer
imposed on by pretended mineral companies
that they were quite loathe TO either sell op
tions or give mineral leases, but the gentle
men who had come for that purpose, by their
gentlemanly bearing and strict business in
tegrity soon found the way to the hearts Of
the honest farmer, and at this time have more
than *, 600 acres Of choice lands under lease
and large number Of big options.
