Barn and Contents Burned.


Billings, June 1G.-About 1l:30
this forenoon fire was discovered in
S. r. Salsbury:s barn in the rear Of
his dwelling, and as high wind was
blowing at the time the fire was
beyond control as far as the barn was
concerned, before the department
reached the place. Firemcn turned
their attention to saving the house
and adjoining propcry. BY extra
GOOD work the house was saved, al
though the fire reached and nearly
destroyed a shed within 10 feet of
the house. Salsbury's loss is not less
than $1,000, as there were a
hack, two buggcs, a race cart, two
sets of harness and other valuable
| property in barn and sheds. No in
surance on barn and contents.
The fire was started 'by Salsbury's
little boy, who was playing will
matches behind the barn. He STRUCK
a match to set fire to some paper
which he then tried to put out b.
stamping on it, but the high WING
carried it from him, landing i
against the barn in a pile Of dry hay
The lad then became frightened ant
gave the alarm.
During: the fire wind carried burn
ing cindcrs across the block and sc
fire to an outbuilding in the rear Q
II. T. Clements residence, which fir
the boys quickly extinguished.

| Tries to Break Up Revival and Curse
pursucs Him.
New York, June 17.-Julius White
heads neighbors believe that ne Will
not stop sucezing till he repents or
his sins. They believe his atfliction
| is a manifestation Of divine wrath,
aroused by his impious breaking up
Of an cdifying revival meeting by a
series Of mock sneeZes. - 5.m
| But Julius Whitehead continues to
| scott, though he has sneezed away
| his strength, his friends, his sweet
heart, and his customers and bids fair
to sneeze away his fortune and his
life. He keeps a store at Grassy
Plains, a settlement not far from
Trenton, n. J.
Six weeks ago an itinerant evangel'
ist held a two weeks series Of sery-
ices in Grassy Plain, and wrought the
. natives up toe high pitch of devo
tional ardor. Daisy McNichol, who
was Whitchead's 'sstcady company,
was one Of the earliest at the peni
tents bench, and she told her sweet
: heart how happy it would make he
s if he would only go the meetings ant
s "tind salvation" Whitehead prom
q ised that he would, but his heart wa
full Of m0ckery.
= One night he said to his godles
companions: "Let us go, then, an
show these reviyalists thing OR tWt
just keep your eye on me, for H.,
will break MP the mecting," and the
went.
Whitehead took a front seat. l
the course Of half an hour the audi
\ ors had been worked up into a fir
a frenzy. Backsliders hoWlcd and be;
n their breasts: the rest Of the poop
u howled and swaycd to and fro in q
81 ecstasy of emotion. Deacon Mar
81 ham fell on his knees and began
~ pray with his gauut arms stretch
skyward.
That was Whitehcad's cue. |
sneczcd anG kept.on sneezing till mf
i sprang to their feet with angry pr
tests, women scolded shrilly and t
evangelist pleaded.
AS for the old deacon, he pointed
lean trembling finger at the you
scotfcr and exclaimed with VIII
seemed like prophetic wrath tlashi
from his eyes:
"Young man, if you cannot
brought to see the right here a
now, you may be forced to snet
without rest until you acknoWled
your sin and ask forgiveness"
Whitehead sneezed again and
meeting broke up in dismay.
That very night the deludcd mo
er began to snccze. And he has !
3stopped since except at short int
1,yals to take various remedies, WI
Deisy has cast himyoff.

VINO was to have spoken upon "The
Character and Descendants of Con-
rad Weiser, the Indian Interpreter"
out owing to the fact that he is
man OF SO years it was considered
prudent by his attending physician
not to venture upon the journey.
but he sent lengthy production on
the topic assigned to him. Mr..
Shantz gave the audience an hour
and half talk in PENNSYLVANIA
Dutch. The address was replete
with anecdotes which caused much
merriment, and the whole had the
merit of being excellent in literary
sense, something seldom found in
dialect discourses. He remarked
that when the new church will be
dedicated he expects to be present.
The singing of Praise God from
whom all blessings flow," and the
pronouncing of the benediction by
Pastor Wampole the vast audience
dispersed.
The morning exercises were held
in the Church, which was decorated
with tastefully fashioned wreaths.
The speaking was al! done from the
pulpit. In the afternoon tempo
rary platform outside was occupied.
The music was furnished by the
Freeburg Choir, directed by William
Il. Grimm. Miss Mary West pre-.
sided at the piano. The following
ministers were in attendance: Rev.
j. f. Wampole. Freeburg; Rev. w.
A. Haas, Rev. s. f. Ochsenford, Sc.

Died..

Apr. 18th, at the home OF her son,
Lydia Romig, relict OF Isaac Romig.
Aged 81 years and months.
Mother Romig, since the death OF
her husband eighteen months ago,
was confined to her bed, but only
the last few days of her life she suf.
fered much pain. She soon was de.
livered from her sufferings by calm
and peaceful death. She was born
in NORTHAMPTON Co., Pa, and was
baptized by Rev. Helfrich, who was
the (Reforped) pastor of the Romig
family. In her young days she came
to this county, (then Union) with
her parents where she attended cate
chetical instruction under the pas
torship OF Rev. d. Weiser, who was
the only Reformed pastor at that
time in what is now Snyder Co. BY
him she was received by rite of con.
firmation in full membership of the
Reformed Church, to the doctrines
of which she has been true to the
end. 1t was only in the forenoon of
the day on which she died in the
evening that her pastor visited her,
as was his custom, and at her desire,
since she could not come to the
Lords House to receive Cummunion
he administered this comforting sac.
rament to her for the last time. Her
burial took place on Good Friday,
A. NJ. in the new cemetery at Ad.
amsburg. The funeral was largely
attended by relative and friends,
and the occasion was improved for
tho spiritual comfort OF all present
