Wbile the losses noted above do not seem large, yet when we consider the fact that all the settlers in a new country are men of very limited means and that this is everything they had.

we can form an adequate idea of what the loss means to them. While we sympathize ith the settlers in their loss, we deduce the same moral we have advocated all along; that is, plow out good, wide fire gards and burn them out in the fall. Axon. UUl soh Good Rigs. Good Turnouts.
