Tbe larm was ocoupled by man named Albaugh, who was employed by Mr. Carson. Ho bad gone to tbe barn lo attend to the borses, and shortly aftr eight o'clock left the premises and went down to Mr. Carson's other horse barn, bitched up a team and started out to still another place to get a load ol hay. til only after that one of Mr. Albaugh'a little boys ran down to Mr. Carson's bouse, a distance of 15 or 20 rods and told him the barn was on tire. When he reached the place tbe fire bad gained such headway that nothing could be saved, and the barn and all contents was destroyed. Mr. Carson bad a team ol valuable brood mares in tbe barn for which a short time prevloua be bad re fused an. offor of $325.00 each Two other good horses wt re also in the barn, and several sets of valuable harness, besides some farming Implements and machin ery, the bay above mentioned, and a quantity of seed and feeding grain, all of which were licked up by the flames.

By tbe "explosion" of a large fly wheel ou the Doutt A Foreman sawmill on Johns Run last Thursday, considerable havoo was created about tbe premises, and the mill crew experienced tbe fright of their lives fora few seconds. Tfirough some mishap a large belt Hew off and so rested on tbe governors as to stop their motion, thus allowing tbe engine to gather a fearful momentum and cause what millmeu call a ' runaway." This was too much speed for tbe fly wheel aud H burst into a hundred pieces, more or less, and instautly tbe atmosphere was full of flying missiles, some of which were thrown with aueb frightful velocity as to cut great chunks out of the heavy bard wood beama of the mill, aud one piece of tbe wbeel was thrown a distance of fifty yards and knocked two ties out of a pile that lay near tbe mill. Strange to say but one of the crew was Injured. Floyd Brooks, aged about 21 years was cut below tbe knee cap, and so badly injured as to require the attention of a surgeon, and Dr. Dunn was obliged to insert several stitches to close tbe wound. He is getting along all right now, aud no permanent injury Is ex pected to result from the hurt. It is not definitely known whether he was bit by a piece of tbe wbeel or was Injured In jumping out of the mill. Has Taken Boat Building Contract.

Anthony Walters, a familiar figure in these parts for many years, who bad lived beyond tbe scriptural time alloted to man and tbe last but one in the family of bis age and generation, passed poace fully away at the home of R. L, Haslet, iu this place, at about 9:30 Saturday morning, from infirmities Incident to old age. He was a aon of Anthony aud Cath erine (Ross) Walters, and was born near what is now Freeport, but in Westmore land couuty, Pa., February 25, 1832. In tbe following month of March, when he was but a babe in bis mother's arms, the family migrated to what is now New mansvllle, Clarion county, his father and two of bis cousins, David and Daniel Walters, having jointly purchased a warrant and its allowances of land in that vicinity, upon which they erected homes, cleared the land and resided until removed by death. Anthony Walters, Sr., the father of tbe subject of this sketch settled upon the southern part of the warrant lying along tbe Lickiugville road, near the oldest and first log church erected ia all that part of the country. It was here tbe deceased grew from child hood to manhood, experiencing many of tbe hardships and privations incident to tbe pioneer life of tbe early settler. It should be borne in mind by the prevent day readers that between sixty and eighty years ago there was not even pub lic roads iu all tbat part of the country, no grist or woolen mills, no stores, with in a radiusofperbaps fifty mile, even phy sicians being few and far betweeu, so thst about everything needed for the sus tenance and comfort of a household had to be home-made. 8 me conception can therefore be formed of what these sturdy early pioneers had to contend with in those times, and it is safe to any tbat we of tbe present age do not begin to pay the homage we ought to our ancestors, who by toil and many privations in ado It pos sible for us to enjoy tbe comforts and pleasures tbat now abound on" all sides. He was one of a family of five sons and two daughters born to this venerated couple, all of whom were well known hereabouts and have passed on, with the exception of a half-brother, William Wal ters of Nebraska. Some yeara ago the In firmities of old age crept upon him, and ho was no longer ablo to labor, and was tenderly cared for at the homos of his nieces, Mth. J. G. Carson, of West Hick ory, Mrs. J. II. Fones and Mrs. R. L. Haslet of this place; in fact It seemed to be a ploasure for all iu any way connect ed with him to do all they could for his comfort iu bis declining years. At 2 p. in. Monday, relatives and friends gather ed at Mr. Haslet's home, where Rev. W. 8. Burton conducted funeral services, and Mrs. J. F. Sheasley, of Kittannlng, a niece of tbe deceased, sang two sweet solos after which the body was laid to rest In River side cemetery. Free Transportation.
