At about half past 1 on Wednesday afternoon. April 21st, the people of the village of Knox were aroused by the ringing of the academy bell and the cry of fire, and it was found that the dwelling house occupied by Miles Swart was on fire and in a short time the building was burned up. Most of the household furniture was saved. Had there been a high wind a great deal more property would have been destroyed as there were other buildings near by. The cause of the fire is unknown. Loss about $600, insured in the town company.
