Destructive Fire in Goderich.. A fire broke out on Tuesday morning about half -past 1 o'clock in rear of D. McKenzie's jewellery store, which rapid- ly took all the adjoining buildings--Mc- Kenzie's jewellert• Waddell's exchange office ; Mrs. lalcilullen's restaurant; Knight, hair -dresser Mrs.. Warnock, fancy store; John Atclesoa & Co., gen- eral dry goods; Montreal Telegraph Of- - flee ; and the heaviest loss of the fire, G.* N. Davis' store and dvtrelling, Viery little being saved from the tire.- The loss is about $15,000 in buildings, besides a tremendous loss of goods, which would amount to another $1'5,000. As usual, there was no water, or the fire could easily have been confined to the wooden buildings, and thousands of .dollars of Valuable property saved. The fire de- partment ot the town is in a wretched condition, and 'although the attention of the Town Council has frequently been called to the matter, it has up to the present neglected to adcfpt any measures to remedy the evil. The fire company - exists apparently 0 only ia name; the; engines are -almbst useless, but even .if they were not the want of proper water- trinksevould. render them so.0 As a. con- sepience insurance rates have been largely advanced, so that the increased cost of this alone would. more than equip an efficient fire brigade and secure a plentiful supply of water. The Council is being loudly condemned on all hands for its supineness. It was only by great exertions that the adjoining block, con- taining four stores and a restaurant, were saved. The cause of the fire is believed to be incendiary. Seamus ACCIDENT. --A man named John King, -of Bayfield, was 'seriously injured on the 7th. inst., by a young lad named Bell, who made e villainous- at- tempt to run by him With a team of hors.es.

Diurcan Mc- Phail of Me s, near Walton, fell and. re- ceived sever injuries .about the head. She it reeovertng.. Council held at Varna, on Tuesday last, the much -vexed question of stibmitting a by-law granting a bonus to the propos- ed London, Huron. and Bruce Railway was settled. It seems that, hitherto, a division existed in the Council. Two of the Members have been favorable to sub- mitting to the people a by-law grantiog a bonus, ,whilethe remaining three were opposed to it. Those in favor represent- ed the eastern section of the township, and those against the western. The ground. Of the latter's opposition_ was that if bonus were submitted to the railway, it would preclude the possibil- ity of the township/eventing aid to Bay- field harbor. Dr. Woods, of Bayfield, a prominent member of the Cou.ncil, and one of fltose,who opposedisobruitting the bytle,w, recently visited London, and while there the Directors of the Com- pany succeeded in inclueing him to ac- tOpt a compromise. Accordingly a meet- ing of the Council was held on Tuesday hist, aed a large deputation from the Board ofeDirectors of the Cempany at- tended for the purpose of carrying into effect the arrangement made with Dr. Woods. This arrangement was that ,a joint by-law be submitted to the peOple granting $15,000 to the railway, and $15,000 to assist in repairing Bayfield harbor. This latter sum, however, is only given conditiOnally. The condition is that an equal sum be got from the Goy- ernment. • If, therefore, the Government will grant this sum, the clause in the by- law granting aid to the harbor will be operative, otherwise it will be inepera- tive. This arrangement, meeting with the approval of the other two councilors who had previously been opposed. to giv- ing aid to the railway, the by-law giv- ing effect to this arrangement was pro- anced by the Solicitor of the London Company, read and passed by the Coun- cil, and is -now before the people for their consideration. It The by-law provides that the deben- tures guaranteeing the $15,000 grant to the railway be made payable in twenty years it furthest, from the day herein- after mentioned for the by-law to take effect, and the said debentures shall be delivered,. to the trustees name(l or to be named, in accordance with the provisions of the act of the Parliament of the Pro- vince of Ontario, passed in the thirty- fourth year of thereign of Her Majesty, entitled "an act to Incorpottete the Lon- don, Huron and Bruce Railway 0011I- pany." That these debentures shall not be sold by the said trustees nor the.pro- ceeds thereof paid over to the said. Rail- way Company until the said Railway shall have been fully completed. and. ready for working from the city of Lon- don to the village of Clinton, and the line of such railway being so built through the said township of Stanley until. it reaches some point north of Brucefield, and stations erected on 0 the said line of railway at or near the vil- lages of Kippen, Brucefleld and Clinton, respectively; and an agreement execut- ed on the part of the Great Western Railway Company. to equip and -Work the 'said railway after it shall be completed as aforesaid, and maintain .the stations at the plafees above mentioned, -and all coupous for interest on the said deben- tures which 0 shall have accrued due be- fore the said rai!fray is eo completed to Clinton as Aforesaid shall be detached from said debentures by said trustees, and cancelledtand delivered. to the said municipality. It is also further enacted that it shall and may be lawful for the Reeve of the said munieipality to issue any number of debentures in sums ot not leas than one hundred dollars each, and not exceeding in the whole the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, for the purpose of aiding and as- sisting in the improvement and repairing O pf the .harbor at Bayfield, in the said municipality, but such last mentioned de- bentures shall not be termed until after a rant of an equal amount shall have been ordered. or made by the Government or Parliament in the Dominion of Canada, or in tbe Province of Ontario, fbr the ame object and purpose. The by-law also provides that it will require the sum of $3,120 to be raised. annually,' by special rate, for paying the debt ot $30,000 and interest on the de- bentures to be issued therefor. • O It is further provided that the by-law shall take effect and come into operatiou on, from, and after the first day of April, in the year of our Lord, 1873.That the votes of the electors of the said munici- pality shall be taken on thisby-law at the following planes, that Is to say : For the Varna Electoral Division, 0 at the O Temperance Hall, in the village of Varna.

This lecture occupied an hour in delivery, and was well appreciated by all. The Thames Road choir was also in attendance, and added -much to the plea- sure of the meeting.. The amount rea- lized wan$60. The proceeds are to be devoted toward liquidating, the debt on the church. Exeter. NEW BLACKSMITH SHOP.—Mr. George Brooks who purchased, a, 'short time ago, the premises owned. by Mr. Harris, of Francistown, has now commenced the - business of general blacksmith, and. prepared to do all kinds of blacksmith- ing with prompthees.

SlCKN ESS .—Mr. Robert Monteith, of Usborne, has been very ill for about three weeks, the disease being erysipelas.

To the Editor of -the Ilitron Expositor. - I wish to give a few hints to those in- . tending to give milk to cheese factories, - or make a'first-class article of butter, as none but good butter and cheese pay eitherefarmer or dealer. Feeding and propercare of cows during the remaining winter months has a great deal to do with manufacturing good cheese and but- ter, foetnone but co Ws in geed condition can be expected to give that fine quality -of milk neeessavy for a first-class article. If one co tv well cared for ancl fed, will give as much milk as two with no extra feeding, the one is a great deal more profitable. Every dollar spent in extra care and feed; is certain -to make two dollars profit, betides keeping the ani- mals in better condition. —Bran,. at the present time. is worth about $12 per ton, O and two Cwt. of bran will makeabout eight bushels, by measure. To feed a cow one gallon of bran in a mash once a day, two cwt: would last sixty-feur days, and this would cost $1 20. FA cow will look four dollars bettgr, and probably give four dollars worth of more milkpr eve y $1 20, so laid out in feed. But we will suppose- every man cannot get bran, then feed* oats, orsome other grain. Allowing tour bushels of oats to give a cow two qaarts of meat each day, for sixty-four days, and oats wcoth AO cents a. bushel, and 16 cents fet grinding, make $1 76, for sixty-four days. 0I lai O well aware some will - plead they have not the money to spend_ in such a way. Well, money spent in this way will more than pay fifty per cent. if the money had to be borrowed. And to give your •readers a practical proof of what I say, I refer them to Mr. James Lang, near Rodgerville, -who received this year, for the milk of fifteen cows. $624, clear of all expenses for drawing' the milk and manufacturmg the cheese. He fed two aeres of western cern, and about $52 worth of pea meal, to the whole number, which leaves about $38 for each cow, on an average, and he says they' atm only or- dinary, and offers to sell eight out of the fifteen. 0 O - Hoping to draw the attention of farm- ers, especialle at this time ot the year, to extra' feeding, so they may receive the greater profit in the summer; I remain yours, ONE INTERESTED.
