= A SUG-GESTION.-MR. EDITOR, -SIR, -
The great loss of life at Nice, from a fire
breaking out in a theatre, is but the last
of a series of similar events. It leads
rcie to ask what would be the result if a
fire broke out during some crowded
attendance at Cardno's Hall. Is that
Barrow,vtinding means of exit sufficient?
Would it not be probable that a terrible
catastrophe would occur here ? Should
not a better means of exit be provided,
and the stage and scenery rendered
non -inflammable by as strong solution of
ing person or worthy cause to
pass unimproved, and her memory will
long be affectionately cherished b•
many even outside of her immediat
family circle.

ANOTHER STALLION SOLD. -Mr. C
Dale, Sr., has disposed of his imported
stallion "Glenlee" to Mr. John WilIiE
and Mr. Jonathan Carter for the sum
of $1,000. It will be remembered that
"Glenlee" is the mate of "Wellington,'
the horse now owned by Mr. Carter, and
the pair were imported by Messrs
Love and Browdsome years ago. Mr
Dale purchased him at the Live Stoc
Sale in Clinton, and has made threE
very successful seasons with him. H

Mary Anderson, who died last week at
the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. J.
S. Porter was one of the pioneer settlers
of the County of Huron. She was a
a daughter of Captain McGarvey, of
Stranraer, Wigtonshire, Sootland.
'With her husband she left her native
country and emigrated to Canada about
61 years ago. They resided in Toronto
about two years. On leaving Toronto
they came to Goderich. -.The passage
from Toronto to Gpderich was made in
a sailing vessel. They were aocompani-
ed from Toronto by Mr. Alex. Broad -
foot, the Messrs. Carnochan, and. Adam
Black. These gentlemen with their
families were on their road out from
Scotland to settle on their homesteads
in Tuckersrnith. The voyage from To-
ronto to Goderich was a very rough and
tedious one, lasting over five weeks.
On the passage they lost most of their
goods and ran out of provisions. The
Messrs. Carnochan, however, had with
them a good supply of oat cake, hams,
&c. This they generously shared with
the other passengers, and thus kept
them from suffering for food, and the
deceased. lady frequently mentioned this
