PInm.—Last Saturday night, about
midnight, Reeve Milne's sawmill was
discovered to be on fire but the devouring
element had made too much progress to
Rave either the building or contents. In
addition to the saw -mill was a planing
and shingle mill. The flames soon spread
to adjoining lumbar piles and it was
only by heroin and uninterrupted work
and the wind in a favorable quarter that
the loss was not more serious than it ie.
The total lose 18 estimated at about $5,.
000. There Was an insnranee of $1,500
on the mill. Possibly $1,000 will not
cover the loss on the lumber destroyed.
There were 800 et 400 cords of slabs
burned. The mill was built about 10
years ago and has turned out an immense
quantity of work. How thefire ocourrod
is it mystery. Engineer Imlay, always
carotid of fire, had swept up shavings &c,
on quitting work and thrown Water
Mond the furnace. It is eupposecl the
place was sot on fire but by Wheel 00 -
body knows, but vary likely by a tramp.
Mr. Milne had been up is short time hes
fora tho fire was noticed and saw no
signs of it, although the dog was beard
barking down near the mill. It is ex-
pected that Mr. Milne will rebuild but
what style of a building is not known.
Ila is a pushing business man and it is a
pity he should bo called upon to suffer
this loss. The men, and women too,
worked for boars at the lire until many
of then] were exhausted, D. Davidson
and Eph. Caber were dispatched toBrue.

haps better than none, and was a rather
small return for all Brussels had done to-
wards the success of the tournament.
