The building used for the tun- ing and readjusting department, general offices &c., remains intact, be- ing only slightly damaged. About 75 nien are thrown out of employment. The loss probably will amount to 875,000, mostly covered by insurance. Wellington Hay says that the de- struction of the Morris Piano factory is the most serious disaster to the town since the flee which destroyed the Hess Bros.' factory twenty-five years ago. It will throw out of em- ployment seventy-five hands,' two- thirds of whom are heads of families and property owners, men- who are among the very best citizens. The principal stockholder of the company is T. W. Scott, private banker, who has always stood loyally by the town in this and other industries, and it is hoped he will see his way clear to re- building the factory at once. J. 'W. Carthew, barrister, in speaking of the fire, said that the wood working build- ing was totally destroyed.

His decease was not unr- expectecl as he had been in failing health for the past two years but had. only been confined to becl for about a week.

After a sojourn in Quebec they came Westward to Hamilton and in 1318 took rip a bush Paan in Blandford township,f Oxford Co., where they lived unti1875 when deceased moved here and bought 150 acres from Dan- iel Zimmer, where Mr. and Mrs. Cam- erturhave coutineed to reside. The latter's maiden name was Elizabeth McComb, of Bhanilford, the matri- monial knot being tied' in 1855. Mr. Cameron was a fine type of manhood, , industrious, u ri gl nt p kindly, Christian' --a man whom the youth of the com- munity could copy with profit. Ile was not a seeker after office and his home was his centre. Deceased is sur- vived by his faithful partner who' for over 50 years travelled life's pathway with him, seven sons (Tames, John, William, Matthew, Rev, It, F., Allan and Thos,) all of whom reside in this loeality except Rev. Mr. Cameron, whose home is in Georgetown), and Mrs. James Slemmon, of Pasqua, As- sinaboia. The death of the father is the first break in the large family.
