The Business Portion of the City : Consumed—Enormous 1.oases —A Bad Sunday. A. fire broke out in Boston on Saturday night,- Nov. 10, about. 9 o'clock” and be- fore it was subdued the principal business part of the city was laid in ashes. The fire first broke out of the rear of a large five storey granite building hi Summer street, directly on the corner of Kings -- ten street. This building, -surmounted with a high Mansard roof, over -topped all the buildings in that immediate vicinity. Directly as the flames began to pread through the storey beneath , thisroef, and before an engine or hose carriage was on the ground great vol- umes of flames suddenly burst out froni the rear lower storeys of, the building, and in less than twenty minutes the whole broad structure, extending fully 100 feet along Kingston street was one sheet of flames, as was also the same time the Summer 'street front, the heat •were burned. The buildings destroyed beingeo intense as to force the firemn e away from -Mat immediate vicinity, By this time a strong wind had sprung up. The flames began 'to sweep over Sommer. and Kingston streets; and despite the exertions Of the firemen in every branch of the department the fire Watt eommuni- cated to the building on the 'opposite corner of Kingston and Summer streets, as well as the gre4 block on the Corner of Summer and other streets, and in less chan hall en hour after the flames were burning all up: and down. 1.-ts destruc- tion had not progressed far before the flames and sparks which arose fronal it had lodged open. allthe buildings around. about. Thus the fire spread al- most instantaneously in three directions, first to the adjoining block on Summer street, then across Slimmer street to the opposite block, and then: across Kings- ton street.

LOSSES AND INSURANCE. The number of firths and business houses burned out is930. The number of dwelling and. lodging houses 60. Quite a number of Insurance Companies will be compelled to suspend.

The North British, ._Plice'nix and National report all their polices will be paid in full, and that they will continue business. All the Providence Companies say they will come out straight. The total loss by the fire is estimated at $80,000,000. The loss by the Chicago fire was $196,000,000. The Boston fire consumed an area of nearly 70 acres;. in Chicago over 2,000 acres oi buildings .in Boston were of a much superior char- acter to those of Chicago. In the »mg - •nitride ef its destructiveness the Bostqn conflagration of 1872 is seconcl in rank among all the fires which have' occurred in the United States, that of Chicago, of course, !tending at the head of the list.

About 11 o'clock the scene in Linceln Essex, South Federal, and–other street in the immediate neighborhood was on of the saddest sight i of the night. Hun dreds of !nen, *a:nen and children wer hurrying along laden with every variet of household goods, behind. them th roaring flames lapping up their house before they could get half or a quarter o their goods in the street. The fire ex tended on both sides -of the Lincol street and on Russia Warf all the buil( ings are burned. The wharf of th Hertford. and Erie Railroad Compan Was burned; and the passenger station of the Corporation on Broadand Sunnite streets, THE FIRE Orr SUNDAY MORNING. s To the Editor of the linron Expositor. a 11 1 - 8 , The following. were the general bound- aries of the ,conflagration on Sunday torenoon—The whole length and both sides of Sommer street; =roes Eed.eral and nearly down to Drake's wharf, and thenee in nearly a direct line to Forti Hill, along Hamilton and Battery march to Kilby street, ae far as Lindell and Central. streets, and. from Milk to Sum- mer on Washington street: xVithin these boundaries—an area of nearly 70 acres every' building is consumed. All - the principal cities . hare proffered by telegraph sympathy and aid. The loss is now estimated at between 80 and 90 millions, and insurance at 10 to 12 mil- lions. A good many, persons have been injured. and several killed. ' THE FLA.31ES SUBDUED. The conflagration was got under con- trol about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon, having in the Space of fifteen hours des- troyed handreds ofthe costliest and most substantial warehouses in the country and temporarily paralized three of the leading mercantile interests—the shoe and leather, wool, and dry goods trade. It is said there is not one wholesale shoe and leather establishment left in Boston. Thewool trade has suffered in an equal degree, and the dry goads jobbing houses left are few and far between. THE YIBE BREA.113 OUT AGAIN, The fire broke out with ienewed vigor atsabout midnight on Sunday in almost ed. It was caused by explosions of gas in the buildings occupied by Storms & Co., in Summer street. The front walls of the building were blown into the street and set fire -to the store which extended back in Central Court. From Storms' estab- lishment the games rapidly communicat- ed to the extensive buildings on the cor- ner of Summer and Washington streets, occupied. by large jeevellery dealers, and. Wheeler & Wilson's sewing machine warethoms. In less than half an .hour the magnificent bloak on the corner of Washington and Summer streets was doomed. -About this time two steam engines an0. ' hose carriages with men enough to run them, arrived from Man- chester, N. 11. The men were fresh and. went to work with great zeal. It was fortunate that the steamers were on hand, for the water foreeat the hydrants was very small. The range of three story brick. bnildings, lately occupied by Jordan St'Marsh, but within a few days taken possession of by Crosby & Morse, who were td throw the whcde into e. grand, store in connection with their Washington street establishment, took fire and were very soon in flames. ,Down Summer -Street th-e flames crept along • FARM FOR SALE.

It appears to him a mystery, and no doubt is so to many others; how they get so much cheese from a cow in New York State, com- pared with what we get here in Ontario. I might say there are different reasons e First—Uows are the habby of the New York- dairyuien. being the only thing they pretend. to make money from. A cow is eegarded just as a machine for' manufactifiang and so they feed her with .a special regard to that, she is provided for with everything necessary for the production of the article required from her. Second—They run their factories two months longer than we do, commencieg about the 1st of April and continuing ore until December. I think farmers here would find it to their advantage to adopt the same principle. I have heard People say it eloes not pay to feed 'chop- ped grain and hay in the fall and spring-; they would rather have their cows come in about the 1st of May and take from them just what they can get during the sunsmer months, -then let them , dry and winter them over until the lat of Meer again. . New, ia my opinion, this is a mistake I think if cows were fed a 1 little extra and milked. two months ionis- er, it would do considerable toward wintering thein over. Suppose the milk does not pay any more than the feed during the time of milking, you have got two months of the winter feeding put in. which. has coat you nothing, be- cauie the cow has paid for all she got. Not only that, but the cows would be hale and hearty and in better condition to stand the remaining part of the wieter. Third—In regard to our land not 'prp- clueing such fine pastures as we founi in Herkimer and Oneida Counties, I would say my opinion is, too much our land has been almost continuously plowed and (Topped, and the elements that should bp in the soil necessary to produce fine egress have been very much exhausted, and will take to, httle time to recover. would here take oppettunity of stat- ing that too many of our patrons cl6 not provide enough against the exigency in time of drouth which is so common with US.

This Scripture lesson being substituted for another Would not give the teacher any more trauble and might be productive of much gOod. I see by the minutes of the County of Huron Teachers' Association that a motion was carried "that if the teaching the ten commandments be obligatory, tt be made optional," Now sir, in the name of many parents, I dissent from this motion, as I believe that not only the teaching of the commandments, -bat also of the Apostles creed, and the Lord's prayer 'should be made obligatory,. if nct objected to by parents, for wbioh purpose - an hour or two Might be Set_ apart once a week without serious inconvenience to the teacher. I know I Shall be told that these things can he learned in the Sabbath School, but, sir, there are number's of 'children in the country .who do not at- , tend the Sabbath School, and i there are numbers of parents -who are top ignorant or too careless to each them. I hope therefore that at its next meeting the Teachers' Aseociation will take up . and dispassionately discuss these questions, and -I trust that the result Will be that they Will see it to be their duty to recom- mend their adoption, for I believe that among our teachers, are many men and women who only require to know their duty it oeder to do it.

Common SChools ? To the Editor of the Baron Expositor. Sul --I was present a short time ago at au examination in a country school. The children ,acquitted themselves credi- tably in the various branches in which they were examined, but I was pain- , fully struck with the entire want of any- thing that would in the least degree impress them with the thought that they were immOrtal beings. And when I en- quired why the Scriptnres were not read ,1 was answered that it would interfere with the other business of the school, etc. Now ; sir, although I should on no eccount wish to see anything like sec- tarianism introduced into our common schools, yet, as education, without being founded on Christian morality, very fre- quently, only enables its possessor to be a little smarter at bargain -making than the more ignorant. I held that its great benefit is lost to the community. We have an excellent school system, but like all human systems, it has its defects, and most assuredly it is a serious one to do away With the reading of the Scriptures, for it is allowed by all, that to a know- ledge of the truths contained therein, are we indebted for many of the glorious privileges which we enjoy, and they should not be given up to please infidels and sceptics.' Ivery question asked at the examination above referred. to might have been 'asked if both parents and children wereall.infidels, and in order to counter such a state of things I would. respectfully submit that it be made abbe 1, chin.

Several schemes have been. propounded and. imaginary counties laid out wherein each of these ambitioua localities occupied central places, but unfortunately the people 9f none of these villages can agree upon any one division.
