THE FIRE.—On Tuesdaymyoniing
last, about 7 o'clock, the building known
as Sharp's Hotel was discovered to be
on fire. The alarm was given, and the
firemen were speedily on the scene with
their implements of war. The fire
,lriginated from the stovepipe ie the
dining room. The chimney goes tip
from the ceiling and the pipe goes
straight into it. The space between
the pipe and the joist on one side of the
tole was only partially filled with thin
eieoes of brick, which permitted the
wood work to ignite by the heat from
the pipe. The fire was speedily drawn
up the wall and to the roof. Owing to
the peculiar construction of the build-
ing at this point, there being two or
three false roofs underneath each other,
it was very difficult to ascertain the
real location of the fire, and still more
difficult to get at it. At length a hale
was cut in the outer roof, and two men
descended into the space beneath,
which, being filled with smoke and
flame, was not a very enviable p sitiou
to occupy, but they were thus e abled
to get a good stream of water up n the
- fire. and by good management very soeu
succeeded in _. completely subduing the
flames. The rafters underneath this
part of the root were nearly urned
through, and in Several places the fire
had. got through the roof, but by a
plentiful supply of water and goo : man-
agement and prompt action on t e pert
of the brigade, the building was saved
comparatively uninjured. The furni-
ture, carpets and bath like wer con-
aiderably damaged by smoke and water,
and ell the contents of the rooms were
turned upside down, and the papering
soiled and spoiled, but the lose is; light
in, comparison to what it would have
been had there been . no watergvorks.
The loss both on the building and con-
tents is fully covered by the insurance,
and barring the inconvenience and ex-
tra labor of putting things to rights
again, Mr. Sharp, the proprietor, will

ton. The prompt and curate manner
in which the pupils ane Bred the vari-
ous questionropounde on the differ-

is faithfully discharging his duties as
teacher in that section, and indeed the
trustees are to be congratulated for
engaging the e;ervicee of Such an efficient
teacher. The pupils throughout the
whole examination manifested that the
teacher had carefully training and post-

HOP.SES SHIPPED.— he Nioholson
Brothers, of this towns ip, have re-
cently purchased and sh pped to Win-
nipeg, Manitoba, a oar 1 ad of very fine
horses. " This lot embr ced the greys
shcwn by tl a Messrs Nicholson at
several of the agricultural shows last
fail, their young stallion and a splen-
did team of heavy dran ht horses pur-
chased from Mr. John Dunn, 'of the
Brownson line, for wh ch they paid
$325. The horses were hipped yester-
day, and the owners go with them to
th Prairie city. .
oRRECTIO Mr: m. Graham
rtes to .us wplaining of a paragraph
w ich appeared in our '(Huron Notes"
a _ onple of weeks ago. " This paragraph
urported to give the amount Mr.
Graham had made on hi farm _in one
ear. He says ,the • : • es were not
orrect and exaggerate t a result of his
•prations. He further :says : "I never
1'
1'
ave any person permission to nee my
ame in any Such con'uection, nor do I
ish my business affairs published to
he world." In explanation we may
ay state that the figures given were
aken from another paper, and from
eeing them there we naturally obn-
luded they hadbeen published ith
r. Graham's consent, and that t<iey
ere correct. A.s it seems we were
isled in both conclusions, we row
ake the amends honorable.—ED. E1P.

OUR ScHooL ARFAD.—On looking olver
the list of the successful candidate� at
the recent promotion examination i for
the county of Perth, we are please ! to
ee that school section No. 6 came to
he front, having succeeded in passing
9 pupils, being the largest- nu `her
assed by any school in the towns ip,
nd second in the riding. This sc ool
leo contested for 24 honorary p zea
istributed to the best in the towns ip,
nd was fortunate enough in carr ,ing
ff twelve, or half the total num e r.
hus the laurels have drifted from ' o.
and anchored again on No. 6. And
he people of this section may don-
ratulate themselves upon having such
n efficient and energetic teacher, as
II'' his gratifying result proves Mr, lase
to be,
Lumley.
A HEAVY REPAST.—One of our neigh-
boring youths boasts of having eaten
four dozen hen eggs at an Easter f sti-
val. We are not at all surprised to ear
him "crowing" atout it.
NEGLECT OF' DUTY.—Our streets are
now' becoming very dusty, and unless
Mr. Vennor attends more punctually to
his street sprinkling, the city fathers
will be compelled to boost him aneput
on another man, and we believe
sooner the better.
CONVALESCENT.—Miss Katie Elle
ton, who has been for some •time
tained from school on account a

with boiling thirt pails isf sap, into
