Barn Burned.

Mr.. A. Racquet living near
town had the misfortune to lose
his barn by fire at four O'Clock
yesterday morning. Mr.. Bac-
quet has no idea of the origin
of the fire. He was awakened by
the bright light shining through
his window and went as quickly
as possible to release his horse
which was. in the barn. The fire
had made such headway that al
though he succeeded in getting
the horse out, the animal was
so badly burned he will probably
die. Mr.. Racquet also sustained
a painful burn on the head, he
doesn't know whether from the
severe heat or from a falling
plank while getting the horse
out. The barn also contained
about IS barrels of corn which
were consumed. The fire and
the sparks from it threatened
his dwelling, but by active work
with buckets he saved it without
any damage to the building.
