Information has been received here to the effect that the value of the eattle stolen from Texas by the Mexican raiders ainee Jan. 1st, is over $2,000,000. Theie are over three thousand rancheros on our side of the Rio Grande, who have come over frem Mexie and settled in Texas, and are ia sympathy with the raiders and the Texas authorities 'are so much incensed against them, that it is feared an effort will be made to drive them into Mexico.

June IS. 1S75, Shortly after 7 o'olock Thursday evening the large stone Swiss barn of Peter K. Herlzog in Heidelberg township was discovered to oe on fire, and such rapid headway did the fl trues mako that nothing could be done to arrest them and in less than an hour the building was a mass of ruins, nothing being left but the stone walls. It is not known positively how the originated. There had been two German trumps on the premises some time preceding me and tbey asked permission irom the owner sleep in the barn.

Mr. llertzog answered that he did not know whether there was room. To this they said that of course where there was so larse a barn there was room. Mr. JI.

then sai if they had matches they should give them (o him lo take care of, wnen they replied they could take care of them themselves, ilertzog then went to supper, and as it appears th tramps to the barn. Some time after this the flames were discovered by the family, in the northern portion of tue barn on the second floor. They Immediately hastened out and left out all the live stock consisting of a large number of horses and cows, and after all this had baen done the tramp came rushing out of the back part of tne barn, one of them with ins snoes in nis hand. They helped to carry water to save the house, saying they had been asleep when the hro broke out. 1 our correspondent, who was on hit way home, with horse and carriage from Reading, observed the smoke bursting oat when one half mile fast ot llobesonia, With all haste he drove to the scene of the dis aster, reachinir it iust as the roof had fallen in Neighbors were already on the roof of the house nonrinir on water.

Fortunately the wind drove the heat and flames away irom the build ng or it would have been impossible to nave saved it. Six wagons and a number ot agricui' tural implements were destroyed, as also wai ten tons of hay; about the same amount ot straw, 75 bushels of wheat, about the same of rye. lOu bushels of oats, and a Quantity ot corn, This barn was built about 60 years ago by Miohael Ege, and was 125 feet long. Jacob seltzer, the father ot our townsman, Micnaal seltzer, was preparing to build a barn at Minoach, and In Irieudly rivalry to beat air. Kge.

Mr. Sellzer built his barn 126 feet long, Mr. Hertog's barn and stock was insured in the am king Spring Company. LATER. About midnight on Thursday the two tramps were arrested aud brought belore Usquire Kiut zer.

of Womelsdorf. Their stories being some what conflicting a commitment was made out and this morning Constable liennetiiuni started witn them lor the Derks county prison, lhey were first brought to Koenig's Hotel, and were Kept standing out in the back yard until the landlord came down to open the door. Thia morning a box containing about fifteen matches was louud in the neighboring yard ot Col. Dan iel Sohl, and as tbey are entirely different from any used by Col. Sohl's or Mr.

Koeuig's family it is supposeu me uermans uircw ineni mere. Tha probability is that these two vagrants smoked their pipes in the barn, and accidental ly set the straw on fire, lhere should be a gen eral law passed to prevent these rascals from running at large over the whole country. Even though these two may be innocent, yet a great deal of mischief is done by men of this class roaming around, and farmers are in constant danger of them. Yours. W.G.M.

Frail val of Covenant M. Church. Tha strawberry festival for the benefit of Covenant M. E. Church, which is being held at the Keystone Opera House was well patronized last evening.
