FIRE. -A ;serious conflagration took place
here sometime between Fnday night and
Saturday morning of last week, in the burn
ing of the Hound House, owned and ote•
copied by R. McIntyre. The micupants
hied all retired, including a tnan well primed
with liquor, and were only disturbed by a
paseerby bursting in the door with the
clamation "fire." This brought the pro.
prietor from his room, who for ,some time
• eould not locate the spot, all the doors being
closed and the blaze (mauled to the one
room. Soon, however, the flames were
seen issuing from the door of the room oe-
impied by nus]) lefointyre, a laborer who
had been working in the vicinity, and in
whose room the fire began. The other ma
oupants were awakened, and with diffioulty
rescued from the building, some having to
jump from the upstair windows. ' An at-
tempt was made to got at MoIntyre, and
while they had bold of his feet, it was im-
possible to pull him out, he nettling to
' cling to the top of the bedstead, and where
be was left to the mercy of the devouring
element. Attention Was then given to the
saving of the contents, a large proportion
of which were lost, including most of the
clothing of the boarders. There being no
,fire protection in the village the fismes
spread to the barn, then to the residemie of
le Welsh, both of wblob were totally destroy
ed; it was by hard and persistent la-
bor onethe part of the citizens that other
adjacent, buildings were saved. The lire un-
doubtedly originated in the re( ecoupied
by McIntyre, but in what mtinnit is diffi
cult to determine. McIntyre Lei returned
from the London fair that evening tinder
the influence of liquor, and put up at Mo.
Intyre's for the night. He retired to his
room at 10.30, taking with him a noyel to
read; and being a heavy °maker, it is
thought that with pipe in mouth he lay on
the bed and fell asleep ; and that.fireefalling
on the bod,olothes, they became ignited, the
moke smothering the unfortunate man
while in a gotta deep, Among other uti-
les found in the ruins, were portions of the
victims' leones,hie watch and a wise he had
been 'wearing. Mr. MaInityreee loss will be
65.000, covered by insurance to the extent
eef $3,500 ;11 Welsh's lose is $1,000, insur-
ance $600. This fire minute the propriety
of at once providing the town with some eat
of a system of fire protection. Were
a fire to itart uptovrn among the row of
frame buildinge, Hensel' might fare the
fate of newly another town, in its total dee-
Unction. The question is a serious one,
Qua should engage the first aftention of the
well-wishere of the village.
-The Sewall House will not be rebuilt.
Mr. McIntyre, is said is negotiating with
Mr. Paine of Zurich for a lease of the 'Come
merolal in that place. -The Exeter fair on
Tuesday was largely attended ,by people ot
this district, and many were priee winners.

THE EXETER FAIR.
The annual fall fair of the Stephen &
Ushortie Aerioultural Society was held in
Exeter on Monday and Tuesday, Sept 26
and 27, and in point of attendance was a
thorough su-cess, the gate receipts
amounting to over $800, which with a
inembership of over 500 makes the total
receipts for the year some $1,300. The
weather on both days was the, but, not-
withstanding, the extent of the exhibits
fell far ahort, while in quality there was a
deoided improvement on other years.
The indoor departments were poorly fill -
led and competition easy. The outside
show was better, theugh not upto some
previous years. In the horse ring there
were some good specimens, in the several
clasees, bub it is a noticeable fact that the
light horses are displacing the heavy ones
and this year saw one of the best exhibits
in the lighter classes in the history of the
Society. Of cattle there was a good show
including the famous herds of Measrs T.
Russell and Smith Bros. Sheep were
poorly represented, but the quality was
first-clasa; the same can also be said of
hop. In the poultry classes there was
only a fair alio .v, while in roots and vege-
tables we never saw poorer. The new
half mile track was mule good use of and
several interesting speeding conteste took
place, for which special prizes were offer-
ed. Following is the. prize list : -
