The barn ana' 'stables of Mr. James Snell of Mullett, which were among the most coinplete in the county,went np in smoke Xondey night. . • Mr. Snell was awakeued by the con- flagration at midnight,. but it had then gained suck great headway that he saw at a glauce that the buildings were doomed to deetructioe. l'he only live static in the stebles at the time 'were • two thorobred bulls and a stallion. The latter and Ona of built they managed to save though thq horse made repeated efforts to taunt to its fiery stall. The animal which was burned was a valuable thorobrod.

The harvesting operations had only been completed the evening before, Tit - deed, the last load wits hauled in at to 'late en hour that it remained,. on the eva.gon. •'Mr. Snell, who has spent a lifetime in Mullett, saye he never had a better crop.

The fire made al clean sweep of the farm buildinge and Mr, .Snell is now without shelter for a head of stock which, as is Well known, is 'among the most Valuable in Muron, As it is new almost too late in the Season to build more than a toniporary shelter, he will probably have to dispose of the bulk of his thorobreds. Much sympathy it expressed for Mr, Smell, who th an extetisiv,e breeder of high class sheep arid cattle has clout witch towards improvitig• the steek in this County. The • origin of the fire is iniknown, but it is supposed to have been tens- ed by spontaiieous coinbustion.
