NOVEL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
While a load of fibre was being conveyed from the bleaching ground to Mr O. E.

The fibre, which was valued at from £\s to £2O, was totally and quickly destroyed. The driver, Lynes, denies that he was smoking, and, as a matter of fact, was complacently seated in front while the fire was raging at the rear of the cart. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
