It appears that during the heavy wind
storm while Mr. Wilson of Greenway was
thrashing for Mr. Brown with a steamer, a
spark in some way blew from the engine
around behind the barn and ignited the
straw stack. The fire was soon discovered
by the men on the stack, who immediately
gave the alarm, and hurriedly shrew a pail
of ;cater on it, which almost extinguished
it, but before another pail of water could be
got the fire had made too much headway
and fanned by the strong wind soon spread
to the barna, not even giving the man time
to remove the separatornor any of Mr.
Brown's contents from the burning build-
ing, Atter the fire had get fairly started
the men saw that there was no use in try-
ing to save the barna, they turned their at-
tention towards Mr. Brown's house whioh
was threatened, and it was by the hercul-
ean efforts of the neighbors that the house
was saved. The wind being very strong
blew cinders all around and soon the fire
had got across the road into Mr. Flynn's
premises, and before it could be checked
caught his barn* and out buildings which
were soon destroyed. Both gentlemen lose
their whole crops not saving enough for a
bag of flour nor a pound of fodder, which
will necessitate the selling of their stook.
Mr, Brown's loss is on barns and outbuild-
ings, $155, on contents $637, total $1092,

Foo'rear.L,—What proved to be a quiet
and interesting game of football was played
on Friday evening last on Wes. Maguire's
field, a mile south of Neil's school, between
the Lucan club and the Beavers of S. S.
Noe 1, being a return of the match played
in Lucan, as recorded in last week's Times.
Both teams claimed to be a little weak on
account of the non-appearance of some of
the players. The Beavers had the kick-off,
and almost continually during the first half
time the ball kept hovering around the
Lucan goal but did not pass through. After
changing ends the Beavers obtained a cor-
ner kick and with two well-placed kicks
the ball passed through the goal. Not
long afterwards Lucan obtained a corner
kick and scored a goal also.. After this it
began to get dark and neither eide man-
aged to score again, leaving the game a
tie. The visiting club seemed well pleased
that the game was a tie as it was the third
time they had met the Beavers and the
first time they had managed to get equal
footing with them. Another game may
take place between the above clubs about
next Friday evg. Mr. W. Hueston gave
general satisfaction as referee.

rapt attention during hie discourses, which
were of a high order, tull of gospel, and
well toned with emotional references. The

Speeches were given by Rev'ds. Leech,

cupied half an hour each, and everybody
seemed highly satisfied, many expressing

and deserve the hearty thanks of the con-
gregation for their labor. Proceeds $70.

a few lines concerning the crops around

space in your columns. We have had a
failure of crops in the western part of this

the report of a few farmers who have
threshed their grain : Nelson Darling, 40
acres, averaging 50 bush.; U. Walker, 160
acres. averaging 40 bushel. T. H. May
