The roof was blown off the Central

Ashfield Building beatteued •
James Kean, 6th concession of -Ash-
field, had his house and barn com-
pletely destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning about 9 o'clock. A spark
ram the chimney is supposed to have
started the roof, and it, was well mi-
er way before it was noticed. With
the heavy gale it was only a few min-
tes before the house was a mass of
lames. The barn, which was di-
rectly in line', soon started, and, al -
hough neighbors were an hand, with -
rig could be done but get the live
tock out. In this they were success-
ful, but only before the roof fell in,
The household contents and consid-
rable hay were burned: While some
nsurance was held the lass will be
serious.
William McHardy's barn, about a
mile distant, but in line with the fire,
1st), caught fire, but was extinguished
before any damage was done.
