CORNWALL BRIDGE.
BURNING OF THE HOLLIsTER BARN,

This community was given an unpleas-
 ant sensation on Sunnay morning about
 7.45 o'clock by the wild alarm of 'sfire p
 It was found to be the barn of Seymour
 and Charles Hollister and in less than
 five minutes hundred people had con-
 gregated at the scene of the fire. So l rapidly did the flames spread 1t was im-
 possible to save even the horses. The fire was first discovered by Bert Wolfe, who was driving by with milk. He noti-
 fled Miss Hollister and they returned to
 the barn, but it was impossible to get at
 the horses. One of the three horses fin ally broke away and went across the bridge with the halter rope still burning. The Messrs Hollister had left the barn
 but few minutes before the fire and everything was all right. They had just reached the barber chop when they heard
 the cry of "fre" and turned back only to find it was their own barn. The fire con- stunned 10 tons of hay, four tons of straw,
 several tons of oats, one new carriage and all their harnesses, double and sin gle. They were insured for 5000, $500
 building, $200 on contents and $500 on
 the horses burned. The total loss will
 be about $20OO. It is impossible to tell
 just how the fire started or where, al- though 1t is believed to have resulted from combustion. It is thought the rye might have heated and the fire resulted. The fire comes at 6 peculiarly unfortu. nate time as the barn contained all their crops, besides valuable tools. Six calves under the barn were rescued during the fire. Had there been any wind it would have been impossible to save the store of Merchant Corbett, but few feet to the west. Much sympathy has been expres- sed with the family in their loss.

'Sir-I am sorry to occupy your time,
but l feel 1 must write to thank you
for having locked up my wife for six
months. My wife had often come be-
fore the court for drunkenness, but
after being fined she was worse. You
were kind enough to give her six
months, and she came back to me a re-
claimed woman and is now the best
wife in England"
This letter was all the more valued
by Sir John Bridge because he was Or
