bushels of grain had been threshcd
that forenoon when the fra was dis
covered. All of his farm machinery
were saved, but the separator was
burned. The house and surrounding

by the prompt assistance of scores of
farmers, that had gathered as soon as

doubt, have cause to be proud of their
school. The enrolment Monday, Sept.
