C'REIVES, Merchant Ta''o •. Our usual unmolested village was thrown into a fervid state of excitement ou Friday evening last about 7.80 when it became known that the two barns in connection with Mr, George MCEwen's fax trill were on fire and on rapid way to destruction. The air was filled with repeated cries of "fire" in all directions and not much time elapsed before oue of the largest crowds that ever before assembled in Hensall, congregated around the scene of destruction. The wind was blowing at a rapid rate at. the time and it was thought by all that the whole town would go up in smoke, and more especially after the flames had communicated with the large pile of wood, containing about 2000 cords, near by, the dwelling anp stable of Dir. Beverly and the stable bel longing, to Mr. Stacey,. These were al destroyed and but for :the strenuous efforts of willing workers, a more ser- ious conflagration would have been the result. Mr. .Charles McDonell's new dwelling was also exposed to consider able heat but bythe aid of wet blankets they succeeded in saving it. The fire originated from a lantern which had been left to light a man into the barn, and which in driving in he accidently upset, soon setting fire to the flax, and in a few•minutes all was in a blaze. The loss to Mr. McEwen is between $16,000 and $20,000; with an insurance of $3000; Beverly's loss about $1500, $1.000; Stacey's loss about $200. insurance Wingham : A meeting of the vestry, of St. Paul's church was held on Mon- day evening to act upon, the resign• tion of Mr, Wood and also to take steps to secure a successor.

Smith to confer with the Bishop and re port to the vestry the eligible names, The meeting adjourned until next Monday night. $400, Hensel': , Last week Chas. Meyers killed a calf 4 months old which dress ed 4001bs. The calf was raised by Geo. Taylor, of Kippen, and kilind. on the premises. During the killing fair, Mey- ers had quite an exciting and unusual experience as both the calf and mother were somewhat vicious. The mother was chained in the stable and did her best to break loose and get at Mr. Meyers, Who was trying to knock down the calf which charged . him viciously, Be succeeded in killing the calf, but not before the Cove had knocked him with force enough to take his breath insurance Layng's Motive. Ailsa Craig, Oct 18,—The inquest into the death of John Layng was re sumed at the residence of Mr. Beverly Robson, London Township and the evi- dence there brought out showed that in all probability Layng's motive for attempting to abduct Miss Robson was the knowledge that she would come in for a large amount or property when she attained her majority. Miss Rob - son's evidence contained little that has not before been printed. She declared positively that she never in any way bad given Layng any encourage- ment to think that she would agree to marry him.. She also said that after Layng had asked if she was dead and ed received no answer, he said I'll cut your head off," and then made one of the terrible wounds in her neck which so nearly caused the poor girl's death, Philip Marsh, Layng's brother-in-law who had agreed to accompany Layng if he had induced Miss Robson to elope with him, swore that Layng was aware and had informed him of the fact that Miss Robson would come in, for valu- able property when she came of age. According to Marsh, Layne. had only 90 cents at the time be attempted to carry Miss Robson off. Neither Marsh nor his wife had any money at the time, so that all the expenses of the elopement would have to be paid with this small amount. The knowledge that Layng's motive was a mercenary one has greatly increased the indigna- tion of the community. The jury brought in a verdict that "John Layng did kill and murder him self agaiust the peace of our said. Lady the Queen, her Crown and dignity." Clinton: It is naturally hard to re- alize that we have in ourmidst artr- person who would be so brutal as to cut the tail off or disembo;t el a dumb animal, or sever the tongue of a brute beast. however, there must he at least one miserable wretch somewherein the neighborhood who is low enough.to de all this, rob a graveyard, or eomxnttt even a more heinous crime, The other evening a team owned by Mr. James Steep was placed in a hotel shed its town for a short time and in the absence of the driver some human brute delih• erately cut the horse's tongue about an inch deep with some sharp in- strument. It is surmized that the ob- ject may have been to depreciate the value of the horse at the sale Thurs• day. The horse is a spanking auimal and wo are pleased to note the attempt has not been successful The individ- ual who would commit such an abom- inable crime'would: be guiity'of almost anything known in the criminal caleix• der, and we trust an effort will be made to give British justice to the low and abominable criminal. Such crime as this should be fi.rreted out and the per- petration of it brought home to tete guilty. _ British. Grain Trade. London, Oct. 21.—The Mark Lane Express,in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says:—New Eng- lish wheats have been in fair demand and steady. Foreign wheats have been firmer, American spring wheat on passage being quoted a; 21s 9d, and. 25s for winter shipments; Manitoba, 25s 3d; California on passage, 26s 9d, and Oregon, October shipment, at 27s 6d, Corn—Cargoes have been quoted. at les.
