Serious Fire.--' Marton village
-was visited on Thursday by one of the
argest fires in its history, when - the
-frame building owned by J. Harmer
and occupied by him for several pur-
doses, was buffed to the ground. Na
estimate is available of the loss. There
is said to he $3,00€1 insurance. The fire
enay have been the work of an incend-
iary. The blaze was discovered at - 6
o'clock, and the.building was a mass
;of flames, Efforts of the villagers
were directed to keeping the fire from
ether buildings. --One - section was
used as a sawmill, another as a chop-
ping mfli, another for making cider,
.and another for manufacturing cheese
boxes. elle fire had its origin in the
,adder plant. The greatest loss was
occasioned by the destruction of 16000
cheese box sides valued at $6,000, and
also in the.destruetaon of considerable
machinery. Ah ►c, , was saved was
