Mrs. 'McLean's sons were engaged in drawing in oats. They were unload- ing a load in the barn, working with a -ptilly and as -sling. It is supposed that the pully became over heated and „ ; ignited the straw around it. At any rate, the tire seemed to spring up in- stantaneously. When the man who was driving the horse attached to the rope started from the barn door there was no appearance of fire, and before he reached the end of the rope he heard a roar, and looking back saw the building a mass of flames. The man on the wagon tried to back the horses attached to the wagon out of the building, and in doing so the hind wheels of the vehicle got fast in the door post, and so rapidly had the fire spread that he coulcfnot get the team and wagon out. and had to leave them and was considerably scorched before he got out himself. The horses, there- fore, were burned, as was another horse in the stable below. The barn was a large bank barns with stone stabling underneath, and was erected, only two years ago. It was filled with the seasons crop, besides having stor- ed in it a number of implements. Everything was burned, as it was im- possible to save anything so rapidly did the flames spread. The loss is estimated at about $2,600 and on which there is an insurance of $1,700.

Stephen school trustees had a hearing in the single court Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on Tuesday before Mr. Justice `McMahan. The council acting for plaintiff, a rate -payer and one of the trustees of school section No. 7, in , , the township of Stephen moved to con- tinue an injunction granted by the lo- cal judge at London,restraining the de- fendants, the school board of the sec- tion and the two remaining trustees from removing the school house from the school site, and to conamit the de- fendants, the two school trustees, and one Sherritt, the contractor for the re- moval of the school house, for disobe- dience of the injunction. Upon the motion to continue the injunction the plaintiffs contended that the school board was never properly organized; that all the proceedings of the trustees were irregular, and that they- had no power to order the removal of the school house and the sale of the old site and purchase of the new one. Judgment reserved, Norman Buchan- an is the prosecuting trustee, while Peter McKenzie, Wm. Sherritt, and Michael Finkbeiner are the trustees being proceeded against. The affair is creating quite a sensation in the Oeigh- boyhood. The trustees must, under an order of the court, replace on the old site the school they sought to move to another lot' in the same concession. Then the right to remove -it will be de- termined at the trial at London. Four Lawyers argued the case; Three of the trustees narrowly escaped -proceedings for committal to jail tor violation of the injunction against reinoving the school, Goderich: Mary McCarthy, who mysteriously disappeared from her home about two weeks‘ ago was dis- covered on the lake shore at Bingham'S.

Miss Ida Steele, daughter of Dr. Steele, V.S„ Stratford, had a thrilling experience with a needle last summer. While sewing, she swallowed a needle, and, not feeling any after-effects, paid no further attention to the episode,. The other day the young lady noticed a pimple on one of her knees, which, on examination disclosed the eye of a needle, which was working its way out. On being extracted the needle Wfl S f resh and. bright, looking asthough it had never been used. How it could pass through the body and appear in, the knee without injuring the lady is - a puzzler. 27,867 MORTGAGES Toronto, Aug. 17.
