 The local firemen were routed out of he'd at 4:15 o'clock yesterday morning. in response to an alarm from Hart's corner. The blaze was in the barn owned by C. Campbell of that place. By the time the firemen had arrived at the scene, considerable headway by the flames had been gained and the barn was completely enveloped. Good work was done nevert theless, and the roof of the place was the only spot to suffer. be- ing completely burned away. Two horses and a wagon, were in the barn at the time but these were removed. One of the horses suffered a slight burn on the back. A considerable amount of hay was destroyed, which was the greatest loss to the owner.
