TIM FAT STOCK SHOW.—The annual show for the exhibition and sale of fat stock, under the auspices of the Tucker - smith, Branch A.gricultiiral Society, was hUd in this town on Tuesday . last. Notwithstanding the lack of sleighing and the consequent bad roads, there was a large attendance of both specta- tors and exhibitors. There was a large intraber of very/ superior animald; the best of which were, we believe, disposed of_ There was also a good attendance Of buyers. Besides the local dealers, there were several from Toronto, erod- erieh, Clinton, and other places; but most of the stock sold was purchased by local Men. Prices ranged froni four to eight cents per. pound live tweight. The followin,g is a list of the successful competitors together with the mu:fiber of entries : Best ox or steer, 5 entries —1st Mrs. McLean, Tuckersmith ; 2d Mrs. McLean, Tuckersrnith ;• 3d, Jas.

E. Cresswell announces his deternaina,tion . not to be a candidate for municipal honors at the next eleetion. We are sure that the entire body of ratepayers of Tuckersnaith as well as Mr. Cress - well's many friends ottside of the town: ship NNlill regret that he has. determined to take this step. He has tepresente Tuckersmith as its Reeve for eight years, and the fact that in that time he has been elected six times by acclama- tion is evidence stfficient that he has discharged the _ onerous duties of his position to the entire satisfaction of his - constituents, and did he wish for re- election next year there is no doubt but he would have been again returned by. the -unanimous voice of the people. In the county- council Mr. Cresswell be much raissed. He has for years been one of the leading members of that body, his genial disposition and sound practical judgment Made him' not only a general favorite among the members but gave him an influence whieh only a few can secure in a de- liberative body. ,== During the past year he has filled the Warden's cha,ir in a manner eminently satisfactory to all; and. would. no doubt again be chosen .for that position if a member of the scoim- oil. We understand Mr. Cresswell in- tends taking a tip to Englan.d this season, and will ;probably leave here about the first of the New Year. , Stanley.

Friday morning last, be- tween three anclfour o'clock, a dwelling house on Main street north was discov- ered to be on fire. The fire was so far advanced before it was noticed 0 that nothing could be done to save the building. The fire was, however, con- fined to the building in which it orig,i - ated. , The building was of frame. t belonged to Mr. Samuel Stark and -s-se s occupied by Mr. Brovin as a beardin house. There was ao insurance on the building, but Mr. Brown had an ins ance of $4.00 on the contents -which will fully cover his loss. It is thought the fire was caused by a defective ohimney. On account of some foolish stories hav- ing been circulated as to the origin of the fire, Coroner Vercoe was requested to hold an inquest, and after a thorough enquiry he decided as follows : " That tho-cigh fro's, the evidence adduced, the precise cause or origin of the fire is un- known, vet there is no evidence -what- ever to show that it was the result of either wilful. negligence or . design on the part of any person or persons what- soever." When the engine was required to be used. it was found. that the valves were frozen, and before it could. be worked they had to be thawed out With hot water which caused. considerable delay in getting the engine to work.
