THE ZGAIONDVILLE MILL' BURNED. - !,The Egmondville, Mills which a 'few !days ago were a- hive of busy industry • are now a mass of blackened rums' iThe fine roller flouring mill_and the saw !mill rn connection, the property of ;Messrs, Kyle & Mustard, together with htheir eutire contents, were completely t, '!ctestroYed by fire on Puesday morning Oast. The fire was discovered between twelve land one o'clock in the morning, but the wind, which was bloWing a gale at the time, so fanned the flames that before any help could be secured the ti If entire buildings were so enveloped that nothing could be done to savethem and !! :I even entrance to the building could net !!bt ha& It i supposed the fire origi- nated in the lower part of the mill but -what manner is not knOwn. The ;j flouring mill had been running until uearly twelve o'clock and after it was - shut dowa and before leaving, both 'Messrai. Kyle and Mustard. thoroughly inspected the , premises and left fully Iconvineed that everything was sife. In !little more than an hour afterwards the 'place WAS in flames. Several of the ad. - joining buildings caught fire also, but by the. almost superhuman efforts of those assembled all were saved from, seriouS injury except the dwelling house and cooper shop of Mr. We -galled, situat- ed on the opposite side of the street. These ! were burned,although the Contents were mostly saved. The fiamea from the burning buildings also cernmunicatecl with several large piles of sawn lumber in 11the yard, and a good deal of it was bturned and destroYed. The origin of the fire is not ! known. None of the contents of either the mill er saw mill were saved. The flouring mill was one of the best and most complete in the countryl, and dur- ing the past summer the proprietors had spent a considerable sum in making -what they hoped would be the last im- prov-ements required for, a long time. . The saw -mill was also an ' excellent establishment: In fact the whole pro- perty was almost as complete ancl con- veniently arranged as it could be. The entire loss wiebe between thirty and fert3r thousand dollars, and, their was only an insurance of some five thousand dollars. The proprietors had invested their all in this property, and its de- i,tructioa will be most seriou ly felt by them They are, however; loth gentle- men of energy and pluck, *d what is, equally important they are l4nown to be men of the very highest integrity ancl possess the fullest confidenc of the en- tire community. We hope, therefore, that they will be a,ble to see their Way clear to re -build wean. If they do so he support mmunity at liberal aid they will deserve not only and, encouragement of the c large, but should also receiv froia the municipality in wh'ch their im- pertant enterprise was located, and to which -it was such a vast b nefit: The people of Seaforth have nev r regretted the aid they gave to Mr. V nEgmond to assist him at the time af hi' misfortune, 1 , and we are very sure th4 people of • Tuekersinith would never regret it should they give to Mesers. Kyle & Mustard. such aid and. hacking as would enable them to re-establish their mill property._ Aside from the other bene- fits which the enterprise would be to them, the annual taxes which the muni- cipality would collect from the property would go a good way in. paying the in- terest on a liberal municipal bonus or loan. We throw out this Fut entirely upon our own responsibility as we have had no communication with the unfortu- nate firm on the subject, and do not know theiemind on the matter, but we do kno-w that could the municipal coun- cil of Tuckersmith, make such arrange- ments as would re-establish the mills as they were before the fire, that they have never made an investment which will re- turn a more profitable dividend to the ratepayers. COUNCIL DOINGS. -At the meeting of the town council -on last Monday even- ing, a communicatien was read from Mr. G. A. Sills, chief of the Fire Brigade, asking for the use of the town Hall every Wednesday evening during the fall and winter, in which the members of the Brigade can hold their drill. The use of the hall was, accordingly granted. A petition from AL R. Counter and 56 others, asking the council to refrain froin leasing the town hall to, the Salva- tion Army on account of the 'drumming and other noises disturbing the residents in the vicinity, was read. It was moved by A. Strong, 'seconded by A.. Davidson, that the petition be received, and that the clerk notify the Salvation Army that they cannot have the use of the town hall on and after the 23rd day. of Novem- ber, and also request the said Army to resiere the hall in as good order as when they came in possession of it. Moved in amendment by Jas. Beattie, and sec- onded by A. Stewart, that the petition be received, and that the clerk be authorized to notify the Salvation Army. Captain that they are required in future to cease their drumming and extreme noises in the town hall, and in the event of their not complying with this request the clerk notify them that their term of tenancy expires on the 30th of Novem- ber next. The amendment was lost and the motion carried. Messrs. T. 0. Kemp and Walter Thompson were given per- mission to lay pipes, through the water works dim in- order to procure fresh water for their engines. After passing a number of accounts the council ad- journed. • DRAWING CLASS. -The Drawing Class in connection with the Seaforth Mechanics' In- stitute, will re -open Iiist week in November.

This is wrong:the jury disagreed with only three farmers forconviction. More evi- dence is forthcbming which, will clear Mr. Heffernan of the charge laid against him and fully justify his conduct. -- COM. • 1211.1.eva1e.

The • cir- cuit convention in the afternoon drew a. fairly large audience of 64 the pillars" and active Sabbath School workers 0 the cirouit. Addresses° were given by/ Revs. Broley and Burwash, and a feni of the lay members. The dinner at 6 &block was sumptuous and elaborate.1 Huge joints of roast beef and lamb were supplemented by turkey, goose, duck and chicken, with an abundant supply of vegetables, and -an endless array of toothsome pies, cakes, &e. The ladies of the church were the caterers and spared-nb pains to satisfy the wants of the hungry crowd which beelege,d their restaurant for an hour or two. ' At 7:30, the hour announced for the commence- ment of the concert in the chtie.ch, "Standing room only," was the hal- nouncement to those seeking admission, but this did not deter scores more from pushing their way in until every avail- a,ble inch of space in the church was more than filled. The opening piece was given by the Bluevale choir. This was followed by a long programme 'consist; ing of quartettes, trios, solos, readings and recitations, each of which was exe- cuted in almost faultless style, and the several performers did credit to them- selves and greatly 'pleased their audi- ence. The proceedings were closed by a few appropriate remarks from the pestor, Rev. Mr. Cook; to whose efforts the evening's enjoyment was mainly due. . The proceeds amounted to $76.20. Har.

Morrisbank- held their annual squirrel . hunt and supper entertainment on Wed- nesday last. David Miller, of Morris, and John Moffat, of Turnberry, were appointed captains and met the pre- vious evening to arrange all matters, cheese their men, &c., so as to prevent any confusion intthe morning and facili- tate an early start.' The day turned out very mtpleasant. This, however, did not prevent a large number turning out, and from early morning all through the day the woods were resounding with the reports of rifles, and destruction and death went on uarnercifully. Four o'clock 'sharp was the time appointed for all game to be in, and woe betide the luckless wight who failed to come to anchor at • that time. After the game was all Counted the match was declared in favor of Captain Moffat's side by 60 points. The other captain failing to come in 0» time was thrown out and his points lost. It was arranged to have the supper at Mrs. G. Moffat's residence, and as $0011 as the result of the match was made known. the sportsmen hurried away hither and thither to bring out their ladies to the grand feast. About 25 couples took seats at the festive board, and we may say, all did ample 'justice to the magnificent spread before them, hoping it might last long and come soon again. After the tables were clear- ed and.the room prepared for the next part of the programme, a hearty vote of •thanks was tendered the ladies of the house for the manner and style in which - the supper was prepared. The musici- ans then " struck up'," and the light fantastic was indulged in with zest and will until far on in the "wee sma' hours," when all dispersed to their homes, wishing health and happiness to the worthy host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Moffat. We are sorry to have to add that a number of senseless rowdies, who had been .sneaking around during the evening, left evidences of their char- acter not at all creditable to them, in the breaking and rernoving of gates and sundry other disreputable acts. Zurich. REMOVED. -Mrs. Fanson, who recent- ly sold her farm to Mr. II. Happel, re- moved to Exeter on Tuesday last, where she will in futhre reside. We wish her- self and family health and happiness.

In the after- noon Mr. Umbach addressed the Sab- bath School, and again in the evening preached from Daniel, 6th chapter and 10th verse. The Revs. M. Maurer and Geo.

While the happy party were passing through town, the • village boys desiring to have a little fun, impeded the -progress of the wedding party by passing ropes across the streets, at several, places. The joke was takes, good naturedly, as it was intended to be, and the groom " came down hand- somely." ; As soon as the boys got the' quarters ;they saluted the party by* lusty cheer, and allowed them top on.
