FIRE. -At 2:2.4 o'clock on Th ursday
morning fire started in the National
Hotel stables St. Marys, and at this time
the fiames were blazing out and light-
ing up the whole town. The cook and
servants at the hotel were awakened
by the heat and smoke from the stable
and soon the hotel was in confusion -
every person escaping with whatever
they could hastily gather together.
Very little was taken from the b uilding.
Almost every one of the boarders have
suffered loss. The extreme heat from
the fire soon caused the roof of Mr.
Bartlett's bakery and confectionery
store to ignite and the building now is
roofless, and although the fire did not
reach the lower story yet everything
will be thoroughly watersoakedand de-
stroyed. A strong wind was blowing
from the east and the sparks and large
pieces of burning debris were carried
for long distances into the west ward
and threatened many places. Nothing
now remains of the National but the
walls, and even some of these have
collapsed and tumbled to the ground.
The engine was out promptly, and in
less than 15 minutes from the alarm
was throwing water. After making a
short run a bolt iu one of the boxes
broke and it was only by bracing it
with a piece of hardwood that the
engine was kept going. Soon the
grate in the fire box broke through
and dropping down letting all the fire
out. O. Richardson went to his foundry
and brought some grates which had to
be cut to fit. Thus after a long delay
the engine was again started and kept
going till the fiames were got under
control. Mr. Deunee carried $4,000 in-.
surance on his furniture, clothing,
stock of liquors, and $5,000 ou the
hotel cuildiug which is completely des-
stroyed, and the frame buildings
adjoining on Queen. street. This, he
estimated, would not covermore than
from half to two-thirds of his loss:
Mr. Bartlett' had no insurance' on his
furniture or stock of confectionery
fruits, etc., and only $1,500 onnall his
buildings. This will not !nearly cover
his loss. All the furniture was saved,

QUEEN OP THE WEST NOTES. -Far-
mers in this vicinity arebusily engaged
at putting in the seed and as there is
at present a vigorous growth we ex-
pect soon to see ell the fields clothed
in their green verdure again. -
Very early Thursday morning it was
discovered that Mr. Willert's saw -Mill
was on fire,aud before uoticed was be-
yond the efforts of man to extinguish
as there was a very strong wind blow-
ing which fortunately was favorabie,or
hunber, houses, stables etc., would
have been destroyed. The mill -had
been running every dayand on account
of the high wind of the previous even-
ing more than ordinary precausicnis
were taken by the firemen to leave
everything secure, so that the origin
of the fire seems a mystery. The loss
to Mr. Willett is considerable as he
intended giving up the business as
soon as he got his logs sawed and
using the engine in connection with
his flax -mill in Dashwood. As he has
a quantity of logs on hand he will
have to rebuild which he intends to
do immediately, havinglet the con-
tract to a Mr. Bell of ensell.- Jacob
Schroeder spent Sunday and Monday
with friends near Arkona.-Some of
the men who were thrown out of em-
ployment by the fire, have been en -
Gaged loading boats with lumber at
rand Beud.-Your Daashwood cor-
respondent, who so recently termed
our place "Smoking Hollow" ,night
think the name appropriate now
as it is pretty smoky these days. -
S. Willett our most prominent
citizen has gong to Michigan this
week to visit his brother Daniel.
