Blyth: About half -past five o'clock
Vednesday morning our village was
isited by a most disastrous fire, when
fr. Blain Livingston's electric light
tation, together with his saw mill
licl heading and handle factory were
estroyed. The buildings were an
asy prey for the fire, and although
he firemen were promptly on hand,
t had by that time got beyond their
ontrol, and they had to Confine their
ttention'to saving the large quanti-
ies of linnher and heading which were
iled in the yard. By hard work they
ntnaged to confine the fire to the
nildings and thus affected a consider-
ble, saving. The dynamos in the
leetric light station were also des-
royed and our town will now be in
arkness for some time. Mr. 'Living -
ton's loss will be heavy and will also
e felt by many in the village, as he

he cause of Lbeafire is a mystery. We
ave not learned what Mr. Livingston
itends doing, but we trusb'. he will
elmild again. Blyth has been unfor-

iS is the second disastrous one we
ave had within the past few months.
