For a time 11 looked ae if the whole town would be destroyed, as fully twenty-five buildings were .on fire at once, and with the wind blowing So hard the firemen were at the flame's meroy. Aesistanoe was staked for from Stratford and Blyth, and it is to their efforts that muoh of the oredit is due iu stopping the fire's pregreee, The flames leaped from the threshing works to the office, then rendes the street to soros man buildinge at the rear of Wesley Methodiet Churob, grad for s time title splendid structure sine la great danger, but, altbouglt the Are oly puaugbt10tout, afow plaoee,anbti it warms arevks enwere earrled over to Elliott'a livery etablee, but the fire brigade prevented them do- rub o- serious damage, aithougit lbs oou- tents of the livery and reaidenoes were removed, The Rattonbury Hotel caught fire in the third story, and the building, being entirely of frame, fell a prey to the flames, also the adjoining sample rooms. It deemed for a time shat the old 900101215 building adiolciug the Jfattesbury Rotel, also ilio large stable at the rear and 11'lyuu's blaekawtth shop would also burn, but at this time the brigades from Blyth and Stratford ar- rived end prevented further deetruo- tiou, although the rear part of the old postofee wag burned and McLean's. restaurant was partly damaged by water. Dr, Beane' house and stables were completely destroyed, and it was with difficulty that the Davie' livery, Dr. Guou'e oice and residence, also the re-; sidentas of O. 0. Rance, Joseph Copp, Mre, Smith, Mrs, Pratt, 13. Hill and others were saved, although the (leo- teuteofmost of these were smoked, and suffered' considerable damage, The Threeher Company plant loses $80,000 on the buildings, which were erected at a coat of $86,000. The con- tents, worth 830,000, are almost a total lose ; insured for $20,000, The Batten.. bury Hotel, owned by J. Rattonbury, was valued at 58.000, and was a total lose ; insured for $9,000, The hotel was rented by Alex. Rubinson, and he bed arranged to transfer • ft tc J. W.

Loss $2,000,lit surance $1,000. De Evans' lone will be about 51,600, with insurance of $700. The Thresher Company had built up a splendid business, and the Manager, 13, A, Forrester, says that the plant will be rebuilt at once, as the directors are enthusiastic over the nouns of their new venture. In the meantime 75 meobanioe are thrown out of work. The. Bell Telephone Company's loss will be about 5500 in wire cable and poles. Tha. ossos would establish a good sys- tem of waterworks, and it is likely the town will not lose much time in voting for title very neoessary protection, INTERMEDIATE FOOT BALL.
