The flre re;iched its height during the high wind, and aniong other losses reportad was that of the residence of Jes3e Harding, tocether with all the outbuildings on his farm. The flres havo now subsided to an appreciable extent, especuilly where great efforts have been put forth to check the spread of the flamea.
