,
and
waking the family he hurried out in

proper was tt, mass of flames, as if the
fire had been burning for some time,
apparently starting atthe douth end.
In the stable was a two year old thoro-
bred bell; which had jiwt been sold,but
not delivered; this he was not able to
save, but a stallion andanother bull in
the 'sheep house he managed to save,
although the stallion three times made

10 acres of fall wheat, 18 of barley, 83
of oats, 10 of peas, and 40 of hay,with a
number of implements; fortunately his
(
reaper and binder had been left nit
over night, The brif ldings burned com-
prised a barn 135 feet long, stable 115
feet, and sheep house 70 feet. A lot of
chickens were also lost. There was an
insurance of $3350 on the building; and
contents.* How the fire originated is a•
mystery. At 12o'clock his neig,hbor,Mr
H. Warren, happened tube up and saw
no Indicatiot of fire whatever: --
Whether • the building was set on
fire, or whether the grain heated itself
will remain a mystery. Certain it is -
that Mr Snell had no .fire Oratund the
barn at any time. Mt Snell has been
particularly unfortunate; in 1869 the
house and contents were burned down;
in five years he has lost flee imported
horses; worth $5000, and during 12
vettre there were 11 deaths in the house.
