The genies were first observed by a passer bye a young ,man Irene a neighboring farm who was on his way to his domicile after seeing. his best girl, home. He scooted for the scene at a speed that only an emergency could call forth and with the assistance of the hired man, who had • been conducting a lone service of song, wholly oblivious of what ' was transpiring out-of-doors, managed to save the horses. But four cows, one bull, a fat, steer, seven hogs, much poultry and, the season's crop went up in 'smoke. Mr. Snell's loss as computed at at Feast $2200 with an insurance of only half that amount. It Is telly hard luck that thus carries away in a twinkling, as it were, the fruits of a no inconsiderable period of intel- ligent and well ,directed industry.
