DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--AboUt. 9.15 p.m:
on Saturday, July 21st, during the , pro-
gress of the severe- thunder storm, the
Grand Trunk freight ehed (one of the
largest and most' commodious on the
Buffalo and Lake Huron division) was
struck by lightning, and together with the
•contents was totally destroyed. Mr
Bethune, the agent, and .T.• Murray, bag-.
gage man, were standing in front of the'
•baggage room at the time the shed was
struck and both were stupified for a time
by the severity of the shock. It is sup-
posed the charge ignited the inside of the
building, as it was fully half a hour before
the fire was discernable. • As soon as the
alarm was given' the fire -company were
• quickly on the spot, and assisted •by cid-
Wens, made every efforEITO---secure-the-
freight and save the building, but the fire
having made such headway they had all

pensive, practically useless, and altogether
an unnecessary 'eppendage to our legis-
