An alarm was immediately raised and the blaze extinguished, but not before it had communicated with the floor and was making rapid. head- way up the door and wall. The fire alarm was rung and the firemen were soon on the scene but luckily the en- gine was not required. Some of the goods was slightly damaged. The Late D. Wanless.'

Serious Accident A very panful:and serious accident happened to L.H.Dickson, barrister, in Hensall on Saturday night last. It appears he had been in Goderich on business, and not completing satire in time to catch the morning train, he hired a livery rig and drove down as far as Hensall, arriving there late in the afternoon. -He took tea and made Arrangements with his brother-in-law, Mr, John E. McDonell=to drive him' home the same evening. They went to Messrs. ` McDonell Bros' hardware store and in going out to the stable at store, the rear of theo Dickson l' sideof stepped a little to one the usual way out and in so doing walked into the cellarway. Feeling that he had made a tnisstep,he endeavored to catch himself by jumping, but the distance being too great he landed at the bot- tom, in the fall dislocating the ankle joint and breaking two small bones in the foot. Medical aid was at once summoned andthe injured member dressed, and his friends will be pleased to know that he is uow doing as well as could be expected. However, it will be some time before he will have the use of the foot. He still remains in Hensall, but it is expected that he will return home shortly. School Board Minutes.
