F. MdGregor, of the Kipp en road, Tuck ersniith, 1-4 ,miles south of the Egniotdville bridge. Mrs. 'McGregor wakened first and finding the house full of smoke, aroused the nest of the family, who had scarcely' time to dress.. None of the contents• of the house was saved.

Rex ,Mc'Gregor; a son, on coming home one night; dis^'covered a small blaze near the furnnace and was able to ex- tinguish it belfore serious damage was done and it can . only be conjectured Whether the fire Monday morning started around the furn'a'ce or in the office above. Mr. MclGregor has made no ,plans for the future but does not contem- plate rebuilding at present. The fam- ily are staying with Mrs. McGregor's brother, 2s15. Earl Vlan'Egmond, in.

An important -business change was: effected on Monday' morning when the long es'ta llished banking house of !McTaggart Bros,, closed' its doors, having sold out their entire banking conutection to the 'Bank o.f M'ontre'al. The bank was first opened for .busi- ness in June, 118911 by George D, Mc- Taggart in :the Albert street premises• ever since .occupied. In 1905 Al, D. McTaggart beca'me a partner in the. business having gained a knowledge: of banking practices as accountant: for G. D. McTaggart and the business. was carried on for upwards of twenty- years wentyyears under the firth naive of McTa'g ga.rt Bros. Four years ago Geo. D. McTaggart, the senior partner, retir- ed and M. D. Mefiaggart carried on: alone, having engaged as his as+s'isitant W Frank Match who had gained blank- ing experience here and elsewhere., (Mr. ` Mutc'h is taking a position with the Bank of Montreal. The banking. house of M'cT'a'ggert Biros, was one of the few doing a private" b'ankin'g business' through oart the country which have continued in business in. opposition to the chartered' 'institu- tions, and their retirement means the ronroval of a business landmark ,011 long standing. For some months ;past M D. .McTaggart has been 'in poor health andthough much improved, his conditionwas probably a factor in determining his retirement from ac- tive 'business.
