The alarm was sounded, and although the firemen got there id good time they were un- able to throw any water, owing to the lining of suction hose being loose. The suction drew the lining into the hose and prevented the passage of water. The building was burned down but no further damage was done. As it was unoccupied there is no doubt it was set on tire by come person. Had the wind been blowing from the west Le- vett's storehouse would most likely have been burned. Brucefield: Another of our moat highly respected residents, in the person of Mr. James Murdoch, of the London road, near here, has gone to his re. ward. Mr, Murdoch had been troubled for some time with an affeotion of the heart, but no immediate danger was anticipated. On Monday evening he retired at the usual time, and appar- ently in his usual health. About elev; o'clock 'clock he had occasion to getp and as he was getting back to bed again he complained of a choking sen cation in the throat, and without further warning he lay over on the bed, and his spirit took its departure from the tenement of ela,y. Mr. Murdoch al- though 78 years of age, was a strong, robust, aettve man, and 00 the day of his death visited the barns several times and walked around the place, as was his daily custom, The remains were in- terred in j3rucefield cemetery on Mars - day, and the high respect in which he was held where best known, was am ply manifested by the large number who turned out to pay this last tribute of respect to his memory.
