On Saturd.'T evening, Dai. 2 u,
Mr. — Baida, carried Mr. IhciWuP
L. McDonald, in-a druuke.. c-.upor,
into his house, two n 1 o il 0 L £» hi 0 1

thought, in safety to .id i
night alone in his ecu. iGfJiB,
and thought but 1 tti 8 ui I’Ll
that might come to him 1 uv; i. the
shades of the night.
At nine o'clock at night , JO IX j*
munity was startled i ii. Mever
that the McDonald Oil
fire. Citizens run ic vifiuer
any assistance pos-.-..,le, but the
flames were bjyoad control, and
the home was evidently to ba re¬
duced to ashes. Inquiry was -oon
made for McDonald, but nothing
was learned of him, til the
frame of the building, from which
the hull had fallen, by the 3

lug. The head, arms and legs eio
entirely consumed by the flames.
Ir Was McDonald.
The origin of the tire will pro! a-
bly forever remain a mystery, j,j 0
foul play is suspected. One oft ho
most orobable causes is, that he
either lay down acrorf-th© bod with
a lighted cigar in his mouth, . nd
the bed clothing was set on fire by
the ashes that fell from the cigar,
or that he threw the
from the table, and the fire caught
to the carpeting, which was of very
inflammable substance. It is not
improbable that McDonald was
asleep when the lire broke out, m
never became suflxcionUy £ jusei*
to unlock the door an .1 esc ie.
His body was found ic the c >:. a*

husband, that he would not .:. i. ■
during her absence, and was ignor¬
ant of the broken vo w, till a rno
saga was received, advising her of
the sad ending of her husband's
life.
Mr. McDonald was not a prous-
sor of re'igion, but iu all other re¬
lations, was an exceptionally fine
character; A devoted husband, a
loving father, and was, never sur¬
passed in the strength of nttin-u-
ment for his friends. He- was hi:-,
