The cause was the burning of the machine shop of Mr. Robt Reid, Thomas street, west ward. The blaze was first seen by Messrs. Jas. Lelliott and Wm. Stevens, V. S., who gave the alarm. It was with difficulty that those first on the scene awakened Mr. Reid's family to make them aware of their imminent danger. Wet blank- ets were put on the roof and hung over the gable of the residence which pre- vented it from catching. As the wind was blowing a shower of sparks over Mrs. Geo. Wilson's cottage it seemed almost a hopeless task to save it, but a band of frilling and energetic workers carried water and poured it on the roof thus preventing the fire from getting any serious start. Several times a slight blaze broke out which was quick- ly quenched. As soon as the Triumph engine could be put to work that de- partment of the brigade soon made the cottage safe. The steamer put on wa ter in good time, notwithstanding a hook on the end of a whiflietree broke on the way. The machine shop burned very rapidly and in about half an hour there was nothing left but a heap of smouldering ruins. A, small cottage on the south side of the shop occupied by Mrs. R. Skinner, and also owned by Mr. Reid, was badly damaged. The loss will be over $4,000, with an insur- ance of only $1,000 on the shop and contents, and $400 on the cottage, thus Mr. Reid will be a very heavy loser, The origin of the fire is strongly sus petted to be incendiary. There had been no fire about the premises on Tuesday at all, and everything seemed all right when Mr. Reid locked up at night.

WILLIAM BALL, DEAR FRATERNAL .5'isr n.—We, the of- ficers and members of Friendship Hive, No 7, L. 0, T. M., beg leave to tender you our heartfelt sympathy in the hour of your sad bereavement in the loss you have sustained by the death of your near departed husband and father, and we, as Lady Maccabees, as sure you that it is deeply mournful to us and must be doubly so to you, as none can know the trial, but those who have sustained the loss of a loved one. Our hearts go out in tenderness and most loving sympathy to- wards you and your family iu your deep and terrible affliction. It is a dark and most mysterious Providence—we cannot under- stand it—but "what is impossible with men, is possible with God"; but let us remember that "In the midst of life we are in death." In deep consolation we ask the Great God to comiorc, sustain and console you and your family in this sore affliction; and at the end of life's labors; may we all meet where parting is no more. Signed on behalf of the Lady 'Macca- bees of Friendship Hive, No, 7, Dash- wood. Your fraternal LADYSister, E. HOLT. Orediton.

Considerable time was lost in getting up steam in the engine; but after it was once up the firemen soon had the devouring flames under control.

The ceremony over; all sat down to a rich repast prepared for the occasion. The presents were numerous, costly and useful. Miss Vos- per was a faithful worker in the Metho- dist church and will receive the best wishes of a large circle of friends. The ADvoCATn extend congratulations and wishes them a prosperous future. What did it Mean 6 One day last week shortly after eight o'clock some unknown party entered. Mr. Rich. Davis' horse stable at Devoe with the intent, no doubt, of stealing his roan team. It seems Mr. Geo. Web- ber had lost a cow and thinking she might have strayed over on Mr. Davis' premises, proceeded there to look for her. On his arrival he discovered the stable door to be open and the horses making considerable noise. He stepped inside, when who should appear but a short, stout man. Mr. Webber asked him if there was any stray cattle ea the premises, and in answer he said "no, he did not think so," and then all of a sudden disappeared and was seen no more by Mr. Webber. Next morning Mr. Sidney Davis went .down to the farm as usual and to his surprise found both horses loose stud a bridle on one of them. Doubtless the strange visitor was there for no good purpose and it would be well for Mr. Davis to keep a close eye to his team. A suspicious' looking character of about the 'same stature•as described was seen lurking around the premises next day. When so many people. are taking and deriving benefit from Hood's Sar- saparilla, why don't you try it your- self ? It is highly recommended. BIRTHS.
