Another mysterious fire occurred at Edison, near Doylestown, on Tuesday evening of last week, about 8 o'clock, when the barn of Arthur Schuyler was consumed by flames. The barn and a hay or straw shed attached to the main building were totally destroyed. The crops and a hay wagon were also burned.
    Mr Schuyler met with additional misfortune by being severely kicked by a horse while endeavoring to rescue the animal.
    Wynkoop Cornell was one of the first neighbors to discover the fire. When he entered the burning building he observed enough to satisfy him that the fire had started in the hay mow or upon the barn floor. The only explanation of its origin would seem to be that it was set on fire.
    It is said that Mr. Schuyler's loss will reach at least $2000. The property was insured in the Whitehall company.
