Destruction of Oat Stacks at Ormond.
About noon this day, two stacks of oats, belonging to Mr. Ross, at Ormond, were entirely destroyed by fire. The hands had just commenced to thresh out by the machine, when a spark from the engine chimney fell on one of the stacks when m a short time both were destroyed, the engine and machine at the same time narrowly escaping destruction. At one time Mr. Berry's timber bush was m great danger. The value of the two stacks was £130. Not insured.
