What might have resulted in a dis- asterous fire, occurred on the premises of Mr. Thos Shapton, a little West of the Village, on Tuesday morning last about 5 o'clock. It seems a quantity of ashes containing coals had been emptied into an old barrel in a small shed used as a workshop, and during the night the barrel took fire and spread to the shed and before it was noticed the .entire building and contents were reduced to ashes. Luckily the wind was in the South for had it been in the East, it is altogether probable that the barn which was in close proximity would also have fallen a prey to the devouring elements. As it is, the loss to Mr. Shapton is not heavy, but it should be a warning to all to be very careful with their ashes. The business men should see that the snow is promptly cleaned from the front of their respective ' places of business and thereby add to the pleasure and comfort of customers and the public generally.
