The barn was a log one, with a frame lean-to, and contained the season’s crop. consisting of severâ€" al loads of oats. four or five loads of wheat, a binder, - a buggy, harness and a number of hens. all of which were destroyed. Mrs. Miller was from home at the time and as no one had been in the barn during the day, she is puzzled to know how it originat- ed. but thinks it was purely an accident. There was a small in- surance. but not nearly enough to cover the loss. Mr. Charles Munshaw of Flesher- }ton is dead. He succumbed to an {operation in Toronto for some head trouble, and the remains were taken to Flesherton Satur- ’ day.
