The fire spread to the fine .barn back of the mill and it was also destroyed. The live stock was all saved. Heat developed by the fire in the rnill was so great that windows in the store across the road 130 feet away were criicked, and untiring efforts on the part of the tire fighters were required to keep Mr. Saddler's house from taking on fire. The building. it three-storey struc- ture, was built about 1860 by a Mr Radcliffe, from New York state, who after putting up the building went hack and never returned, The farm- ers then persuaded Mr. Robert Webb who had recently come out from England. t00 complete the mill.

On Friday- evening last the first meeting of the 5.11. Literary Society was held in the assenthly room o the Collegiate. .which was filkd 10 -0- pacity by the two hundred and odd who 'attended. If the enthusiasm if. the talent displayed by, and the ap- preciation shown by the afore- mentioned two hundred. and if the business -like manner in which the meeting was conducted, are things to jodge fromthen the Literary 1. - clay is already a huge StIliCeSS. The following is a student's ac- count of the meeting: "The president, Mr. J. C. Arthibald, opened the meeting by a short ad- dress in which he thanked the mem- bers of the society for the honor done him and asked.thein for their support. He also bliefly outlined the purimses of such a society and the benefits to be derived from it, Then followed the reading and confirmation of the minutes, after which the main events of the eVening were entered upon, It was mainly a musical programme in which the school talent showed up to great advantage. Those taking part in the programme were Misses Annie and Cora Strong, instrnmentel duet; F. 'Willis, solo H. Peterson. speech "In Battle Array": Miss Bernice Ken- nedy, solo; Miss Jean Chili. plan) win; S. Dungeys speech "Espl,:ca- thins of a Street -Arab"; Miss Mildred Turnbull, snip; Miss- J. Archibald, piano solo; Miss D, Kent, solo: Neill Montgomery, reading: Miss D. Kers- lake, piano solo., F. Crick and J. Stewart, duet, Thu pupils showed their appreciation of the talent disr, played by many calls for encores. The last 'limber :M the programme was the reading of the School Paper by Mr. F. Jackson, editor-in-chief. Af- ter this, dancing and guessing con- test. were enjoyed; and a lunch was served by the girls. The evening came to a close promptly at eleven o'clock. Great praise must he given to the executive for the way in which the meeting was conducted. Ti Nfr, J. C, Archibald too much praise cannot be given; he is certainly the right man itt the right place. Mr. Spencer lgted in the capacity of Critic. and al- though he hal a hard time in criti, eising those who took part, yet he did it iu such a way that every one was satisfied. The lunch committee head- ed hy Miss Janet Cluff also deserves great credit for the way in which it carried out its part. The next meet- ing will be held on November 30111, and will be given by the third forms." Cattle are still out grazing on the fields, hilt the weather is quite cold at time of writing.
