On last Friday morning, between
two and three o'clack, the barn on the up
l>er farm of Daniel Durst, about 11 iui!e* j
above Old Fort, was set on fire, and
burned to the ground with ail its contents.
The lann was occupied by Adam Krum- {
rine as tenjvnt. Mr. Krumrine arose that
morning earlier than usual on account •!'
bis work, and as he turned to the window
of bis betl-chamber, he -aw- the flame.-
breaking through the roof of the barn.
The fire then had considerable headway,
and spread so rapidly, that only a wagon
and drill were saved, there being j
no assistance on the ground scon enough
to take anything from the barn. The en
tire crop of this season, about 900 bushels
of wheat, 400 bushel* of rye, I'JOO bushels
of oats, 2C tons of hay, all the horsegcar*,
and all Mr. Kruiurine's implements
and a separator, belonging to Mr. Durst,
were burned. No live stock perished, j
About 0(10 bushels of shelled corn belong- i
ing to Mr. Durst were also burned.
Mr. Durst has SI'JA) insurance on the
barn, in the Penn*valley company; Mr.
Krumrine has an insurance of$li00on hi*
share of the crop in the Danville company,
white Mr. Durst * share of the crop, or
rent, is not insured.
Track# of a person who wore rubber
shoes, were detected in the dust leading
from the Old Fort hotel to the barn and
from the barn back again to tho hotel
pavement, and on Friday evening Sheriff
Shaffer arrested Jacob Durst, a nephew of
the owner of the bam, near Centre Hill, on
suspicion, as he wore rubber shoos, and
lodged him in jail for further examina
tion.
This incendiarism seta heavy upon our
young friend Krumrine. as we know hi*
loss will not near be covered by the insur
ance* Mr. Krumrine thinks from all ap
pearances when begot to the bain, the fire
was kindled at the hay hole in the foddor-
Mr. Kruinrein'# loss on implements and
crop is about ?2>Mt, on which he has SICIX>
insrrance.
The shoes worn by the man arrested arc
said to make exactly the same marks -
the tracks above mentioned.
Mr. Durst has for the last five years
lived in constant dread on account of acts
of incendiarism. Heme years ago a stick
of clover seed stuff was set on fire and
burned ; and about two years ago an at
tempt was made to fire the new bain on
the farm occupied by himself, by setting
fire to a straw stack in the barnyard,
which would have consumed the barn al
so bad not the early arrival of neighbors
saved it.
Jacob From, of tbis place brought a
potato vine to our office, measuring 9 fee',

THE POLARIS SUNK

Di-co,Greenland, Aug.2s.—TheTigr.-*-
arrived here yesterday from the Norih,
iiaving discovered the camp of tho crew
->f tho Polaris at nine p. in. on Augu-t I I.
There wn. a heavy snow storm and ice
pack to the northward A boat e\|K!li*
tion was sent out under command of Lieu
tenant-Commander White, who found a
body of Esquimaux In |>M-o--ion of the
camp of the Polaris crew. The crew had
pa-scd lust winter in this place, where the
weather win very severe, latitude being
78 dcg. 23 min. and longitude 7-5 dog. 10
inin. went; they built two whale-boats <f
piece* of the ship. Ilnving made all their
preparations, they deserted the vernal and
and left, for Capo York 1t• in June. Tin
ship was still afloat, moored to tho rocks
with hawsers; a heavy gale of wind came
up nbi-ut the middle of July and the moor
ings broke, the ship out adrift and sank,
the wiock being coveted with ice. All
' the papers v.ere secured, and the Tigrc-s
stood south for Cape York, looking out
: for the people, but there were no s>gna of
human beings. We slopped ut several
j settlements to mako inquires, but could
Icarn no news of the Polaris crow. It is
. probable they have been taken on board a
whaler and gone to tho west side of Davi-'
ritrniis according to custom. The Tigtess
sails to-day in search of whalers ; all hand*
arc well. The Juniata is here and gave
us coal. We expect to be in St. John's by

—The sehooucr Abbie Bradford, ni „
this p rl from Hudson's Bay, report#
the loss of two New Bedford whalers, :
and brings a portion of tbe crew of cue ,
of them. The particulars are a foi
, lows: Dn the 14th of September, |
1873, tli 4 . 4 bark Orray Tuft, at anchor „
near Marble l-hmd, lludson'n Bay, t.
.; parted her cables aud went ashore,
:! landing high and dry in such a |*o-i-
I j tion that she cannot be got oil' On i.
the l'.fth oft Dtober following the hark
An-1 Giblis weal ashore at tho same .
I place, went to pieces, and is a total .
• wreck. The Orray Taft had no oil,
rj out the Ansel Giblis had 550 barrels -
of whale oil and 11,000 pounds d '
bone, most of which wax lost. A |
-mall amount was saved hy the Abbie p
Bradford. No men were lost at the "
time of tho wrecks, hut both crews (
i were obliged to live 011 the island un- J
til the 2d of August lnt, and from ex- £
posure nil 1 the lack of pr >pcr food
were attacked by scurvy. Tbe winter -
' was fearfully cold, ht-i:ig tho most >e- '
vere for a number of years, so that the
natives of the islaud died hv scores,j
. and the wrecked crews sullered ex- '
. ceedingly. IV n of the crew of th \
, Ansel (hbb-and lour of the crew of!
. the Orrav i'aft died.

flat the talc that excavation aligned toT
r it by SirCharh- Lyle, viz: a foot c <
1 year in five thousand years will carry
' away the Horseshoe Falls to ahovi ;
" Goat Island, and drain tha American l
1 branch of lite river nnd become a cnl
iivutahlo ground." So say* l'rofe -or 1
' Tvtulall. I'iofc *or Hollv calculate# '
from numerous ma—es which have
fallen that it recedes only about three
t tenths of a foot a year, aud this, to !
. wear hack six miles, would occupy)
j 72,000 years, or 12,000 years for 11
mile. About the American creek get
,, ting dry nnd cultivable is quite out
of tlie question, on account of tin
topogranhy of the country, and other,
creeks in connection, thus throwing
the learned l'rofe—or'* theories out oil
. tin 4 question. Tito middle and deep
est channel i- about four feet deeper
than the side channel*. This current,;
according to ProlW* r Tyndall, is to:
Lbe the future site of ttie Horseshoe 4 !
Falls. Professor Holly thought this
a statement was at least most remarka
io ble. Iu forty yours tho channel has
receded eight rods. The writer ha
carried away more than forty feet of)
1,1 boulders, cobblestones and earth, ami
ir formed for itself a deeper channel
I', than it had before. Front this Pro
f. fe**or Tyndall draws his conclusion*,
n and Profess r Holly thought they
were in the main incorrect. He after
wards noted several inaccuracies of a
less important character, ai d closed
with saying that Professor Tymlall's
style is so vigorous and animated that
, one may be excused for preferring to
read Tyndall's romancing than the
'' most realistic utterances of his broth
er scientists.
