She was a true type of womanhoexl: n gond wife and kind hearted mother and possessed those qualities which tend to the up- lifting of the human race. The de- ceased has not enjoyed the hest of health for some time, having in Jan- uary last contracted an attack of the grippe.

Clinton, May 13. --The most disas- trous the in the history of Clinton was started this afternoon about two o'clock in the works of the Clinton Thresher Company. A most terriflic wind was blowing and it is thought the the originated by a spark from the Thresher Com- pany's smokestack falling on the roof of the frame factory. For a time it looked as though the whole town would be destroyed asfully twenty buildings were on tire at one time and with the wind blowing 80 strong the firemen were at the lamas' mercy. Assistance was asked for frotn Strat- ford and Blyth and it is to these bri- gades touch of the credit 18 due in stopping the fire's progress. The Thresher Company's plant loses $20,000 on the buildings, which were erected at cost of $35,01)0, also the contents worth $30,000, are almost tot- al loss; insured for $20,000. The Itattenbury House, owned by J. Rattenbur•y, was valued at $8,000, and was a total loss; insured for $2,000. The hotel was rented by Alex. Rob- inson and be had arranged to transfer it to H. W. Laird, of St. Thomas, and Mr. Laird and bis lawyers were in town to draw up the writings, but the fire hell cancelled all engagements, as the contents were completely destroy- ed, loss $2,000: insured for $1,000. Dr. Evans' lose will be about 51,500, with insurance of $700. In the meantime seventy -flue mech- anics are thrown out of work. The Bell Telephone Company's Loss will be about $500 in wire, cable and poles. The loss to -day would establish a good system of waterworks and it is likely the town will not lose much time in voting for this very necessary protection. ADDITIONAL LOCALS A fine large steer owned by Mr. Chas. Perkins of Usborne, dropped dead while being driven to the depot. for shipment on Tuesday. The animal had become enraged and its death was supposed to have been due to ex- citement and exhaustion. Division Court was held in the Tc wn Hall on Tuesday, Judge Holt presid- ing. The decision of non -suit was given in the case of Guenther & Co. vs. L. Beattie, the action arising from the defendant claiming that he had not ordered ra quantity of blankets that had been sent him and which be had not attempted to sell. The fact that defendant had not signed the or- der for the goods was considered by the judge as the important point. Two other minor cases were dealt with and the usual number of judgment debtors examined. Court was held at Zurich on Monday and at Crediton on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. John T. O'Brien receiv- ed a rather bad scare on Sunday night last and had they not returned to their home at the time they did doubtless the circumstance to record would be of a more serious nature. They had gone out to spend a few hours with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Huston and hav- ing left, a quantity of wood drying in the oven it took tire during their ab- scence. On their return to their sur- prise the wood was all ablaze and the house tilled with smoke. Luckily they returned when they aid otherwise the house tnight have been burned. While this is Very litte for snow to come in this Province, the reco r made this week is not without a par- allel in the last flfty odd years. In '05 there was a trace of snow so late as the 14th of May; in '88 there was it fall on the 15th, and in '85, the year of the Nurth•West Rebellion, following a vete severe winter, snow fell on the nth. In '50 there were a few flakes even 00 the :30th of May. The record of '511, howet el', surpassed that of all other seasons in the pilaf, half century. in that year there was a trace of snow so late as June 3r11 and 4th. In no less than nineteen yenrs, since 'i3, there has been more or less snowfall in May, according to the Toronto Ob- servatory records. Devon Hotel Barged. The Devon Hotel, another of the old landmarks that has weathered the storms and sheltered malty a weary traveller in days gone by, fell a prey to the fire 11 end Monday evening last and nothing remains of that famous old hostelry save a bed of ashes. Dur- ing the heavy gale that even- ing through a defective chimney, tire broke out on the roof of the building and tcfore anything could be done the entire structure was enveloped in flames and iti a short space of time was r educed to ashes, together with the greater part of its contents. The place was owned by Mr. M. Kelland and was occupied by N. McGee, There was no insurance. lick's Forecasts for May. A Reactionary Storm Period is cen- tral on the 18th, 19th and 20th. (n and teaching these dates look for a rapid and great change to falling bar. ometer and warmer. A probable cycle of daily rain, wind and thunder storms will set in about this time, repeating themselves for many consecutive days. The great central belt, extending from west to east, is directly in the focus of solar energat this time, causing ab- normal andpersistent depressions of the barometer, with vicious electrical storms for days in succession, not in- frequently causing the storm periods to run into each ether. A regular storm period is central on the 23rd, covering the 'l 2nd to the 20tb. The centra of the Mars period is on the With, within three days of the centre of the Venus ;et -dol on the 29th. Many destructive hail storms are al most certain to attend the storms about 22nd to 25, with sudden revul- sion fvotn extreme warmth to un- seasonable cold following. d66 BUDS LA TO ZTfl ON FAT, MAY 24th, 1901 GOAND VICTORIA DAY CELEBRATION The celebration last year was an unqualified success.
