Kingsteignton: Serious Fire: About eight o’ clock yesterday morning some ricks of corn, the property of Mr. Pinsent, of Ware Farm, were discovered to be on fire. Every effort was at once made to subdue the flames, but a strong breeze blowing at the time all attempts were futile. In a very short time no less than thirteen ricks of wheat and two of oats were enveloped in flames. The fire continued smouldering throughout the whole day, and but very little of the corn was saved. The damage is estimated at £400 though, fortunately the stock was insured. Suspicion is attached to two lads who were seen running from the spot about the time the fire was discovered, and a box of Lucifer matches was picked up near the ricks.

Kingsteignton: Harvest Thanksgiving: Harvest thanksgiving was celebrated by the industrious inhabitants of this little village yesterday, and the proceedings passed off very successfully indeed. Special services were held in the afternoon in the chapel, when an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. T. Bennitt, of Dawlish, who took his text from the 13th chapter of Joshua, and the first verse “And there remaineth yet much land to be possessed.” After the services a public tea was provided in the chapel, at which a goodly number sat down. Mrs. W. Widdicombe, Mrs. Stark, and Miss Pinsent kindly presided at the trays. In the evening a public meeting was held, which was presided over by J. Bowden, Esq. who delivered a very appropriate and eloquent opening address. The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Rev. B. Browne, Newton, Mr. Mann, and others.

South Devon Hounds: This excellent pack of foxhounds met for the first time for the season at Wood, near Bishopsteignton, the seat of W. Harris, Esq., yesterday, when there was, notwithstanding the threatening state the weather, an unprecedentedly large attendance of well mounted horsemen. Several ladies were also present. To the credit of the worthy master (Mr. Westlake) the hounds were in excellent condition; and they were brought up at Woodgate at the appointed time. Mr. Westlake was heartily greeted by his old friends, and Mr. Michelmore was scarcely less so, as the new Hon. Secretary to the Hunt. It is scarcely possible for the members the hunt to have appointed more able successor to Mr. C. Wills, of Woodlands, the late indefatigable secretary, than Mr. Michelmore, for he is in every sense of the word thorough huntsman; and there is no doubt he will do much in maintaining the popularity of this well-known pack. Among the company present (about 130), were the following — Sir John Duntze, W. Harris, Esq., W. R. Hole, Esq., J. B. Short, Esq., J. Whidborne, Esq., and Miss Whidborne, — Rudge Esq., and Mrs. Rudge, D. Adair, Esq., and Mrs. Adair, H. S. Gaye, Esq., Dr. Hall, R. J. Baillie, Esq., J. Earle, Esq., H. Smart, Esq., B. Beamish, Esq., H. Michelmore, Esq., S. Foster, Esq., R. W. Templer, Esq., Rev. W. C. Clarke, Capt. Keating, C. Ingle, Esq., W. H. Kitson, Esq., Admiral Wise, Miss Sanders, Misses Gardner, Miss Harris, Misses Riccard, Messrs. T Sarah, H. Magor, E. Bond, Dr. Drake, Carlisle, Pinsent, junr., H. Jacobs, H. Budd P. Harris. The dogs were first taken to Newlake, near Little Haldon, where a fox of rather “tender age” was soon found. After being chased about forty-five minutes, he succumbed to his pursuers on Lidwell estate, the son of Captain West, who singular to relate, was mounted on a pony, being the first to be in at the death; but he was soon followed by a young lady, to whom the brush was afterwards presented. The field then trotted off to Lutton Bottom, and drew blank, and with the like result at Kingswood, and Buckley Coppice; but on entering Whiteland estate, a fine old fox was found. He made back through Buckley Coppice at a clipping pace, bidding the dogs defiance, and thence through Kingswood, Durley Wood, and on to Lynridge, where he managed to give the dogs the “slip,” after several hours hard running. The day being now far spent — quarter after five — the dogs were drawn off, and Reynard was allowed to compose himself until another meet. We should mention that Mr. W. Harris kindly entertained a number of the company to luncheon prior to the meet.
