The loss to Mr. Herron i i amounts to about five hundred dollars, i a portiou of which, as remuneration, ; was subscribed ou the spot. No hores ' . at the time wero in the stable, yet a j j tine hog, weighing about 200 lbs, was 1 : burned. All are thankful that the tire proceeded no further. L. Gee. |
