On Monday last nt about o'clock, tho

tho engine was in position with a full
iliad of steam. Unfortunately, howev

.discovered a stream playing upon tho
Uro in tho engine. This accident Bp?
. deai -ito have resulted from thoj.litorfor
o-noo of by-st linders, and caused much
delay to tho firemen who wore compel?
?xl to stand and witness the 1 oiling flam
en sink dooper mid leeper Into tho fall

on nt tho proper time thero is little
doubt but that tho damage would have
been slight. Even after tho numerous
delays, tho llrst .Moor and foundation, to
gether with part of .tho weatherboard'
lng wore savod. Nearly all of Mrs Nel
son's furniture was removed from the
building. The building and furniture
wore iuuin cd MI tho Gorman-A morlean

?ll work, hauling fertilizers, plowing,
ditching and gonorid farm work One
fact worth noticing is tho lino condition
of tho stock, and a groat many of those
who hud old or slow nudes have traded
them off for younger ones, arguing that
it will pay bettor to havo a young, bright
mule where they havo to pay high
wagon to hands, than to havo cheaper
hands to follow a slow old mule. Tho
whole outlook for tho former ld much
brighter than used nt this season of tho
year. All small grain sown in very
promising, particularly tho full-sown
oats.
Recent ?md reliable information from
our prospectivo railroad, tho Cb, C. A N.,
