About 12 o'clock Tuesday night, Geo. Nisle, of Manchester, discovered that the baru at tbe rear of Wm. Burtless' house was on fire. He spread the alarm and a crowd soon oollected. The fire englne was brought out but was not in good order and was of nouse whatever. Soon the adjoining barn belonging to Geo. Haenssler was on fire. Both barns and other out buildings were burned to the ground. Only by hard work was Mr. Haensèler's residenoe and Kulen Ramp'í Hvery barns saved. Mr. Burtless's tine span of horses were taken from the barn just as the building collapsed, while Mr. Haenssler saved his hürse and carriage, Insurance only on the latter's barn. The fire is thought .to have originated from the pipe of a tramp, who had tried to remain in the barn over night. Had not everythiug been -damp from the recent rains und the wind in a favorable dtrection, aeveral of our flnest rosideuces would have been destroyed.
