Ten ton's of oaten hay were stored temporarily inside and this as well as a quantity of harness, &c, was consumed. Altogether about J9200 worth of property was destroyed, not a penny of which is covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown, but a number of persons were about * ne ot P* ace tne , ay previous on a sho ing excursion, and, we believe, the fire is attributed to the negligence of some of these. It is not long since Mr D, McGinley had a barn burned down under exactly similar circumstances* % A fatal accident happened in the Arnold river on Saterday, Whereby a young man named Molloy, aged 18, was drowned.

Johnston got ashore, but Malloy, though a good swimmer, became entangled in some long weeds, and was drowned.
