Rishel, of Farmer's Mills, whose large barn, over 100 feet in length, was destroyed by fire last week, just before putting in the last load of hay, gave us a call Tuesday, being over that day to have his insurance adjusted as we suppose. The 'Squire is of the opinion that the fire originated on the hay mow from spoutaneous combustion, One of the bands assisting in unloading hay observed smoke issuing through the roof over the mow and although small in volume, led to an investigation, when the worst revealed itself-<the barn at once became a sheet of lame, and the fire spread so rapidly that only with the closest nipping two cows, and a colt, the only live animals in the barn at the time, were saved, Four pigs were burned in the pen, Very few articles of implements could be saved.

The lumber camps were hard on the trout streams, and these are played out, The under. growth along the streams is making it more dificult to do fishing and this causes the outside fishermen to keep away in a measure. Illegal fishing is being watched closely by the wardens, and that has some tendency to bring about better “fisherman's luck.” The catching of tront under six inches, we claim, is not the main cause of depletion of the streams. Jfhere one trout is taken ufider the limit there are fifty left un. caught, from the natural increase and from stockiog by the hatcheries, The real canse of the depletion of the streams, as per our own observation, are these : Trout are canmibals and swal. low their own kind-the largar ones swallowing the smaller ones. Water snakes are very destructive of fish, and a snake on being opened has been found to have as many as two to three pints of small fish in its inside; then are the ducks, these eat spawn and small fish, aud then are the muskrats, and last, but not lcast, Tom Harter with his destruc. tive rod and fly, -Saturday, son Anglers successful catches, | They wentto B VARIETY OF LOCAL NEWS Gathered From Centre and Ad- joining Counties SHORT AND TO THE POINT Events That Have Transpired Recent- ly and Worthy of Mention-—Items of Interest fer all—Doings Neighbors A Christian Endeavor convention will be held at Centre Hall August 31st and September 1st, A July 29 and 30th, for the benefit of the base ball team.
