Walters Barn Burned.

Last Thursday morning about
half past five the people of Middle
burgh were awakened from their
peaceful slumber by the alarm of
fire occasioned by the burning of
Josephat Walters barn at the east
end Of the borough. The fire was
discovered by John Meyer and
Frank S. Riegle who hastenedto the
barn and liberated the cows and hogs,
but they could not save the horse.
The building with its contents was
entirely destroyed. The barn stood
alone and no other buildings were
threatened. The farming implements
and tine horse that burned belonged
to VIM. Bolig, who movedthere two
weeks ago. The implements were
those bought at Walters sale on the
18th inst.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is supposed to have been set
a fire by tramps.
