 –CHATHAM-Mr. Albert Saxbury was doing his chores last Wednesday morning and while he was descending from the barn floor to the basement, he fell and his lantern was broken and the oil caught fire.  The barn was burned to the ground, together with one span of horses, a platform wagon, harnesses, farming tools, etc., also all his hay and grain.  Mr. Saxbury barely escaped with his own life, as the oil upon his clothes took fire, and he had to strip them off to save himself.  He succeeded in getting his cows out of the burning building.  This is the second barn that Mr. Saxbury has lost in the last four years.
