Coun. Cooper spoke on the question

denounced them as a nuisance. No

Shortly after 10 'o'clock on Wednes-
day night last the alarm of fire was
sounded teal ori proceeding to the scene
we found the furniture shop of Mr.
Deihl in a blaze. At first sight we
were of opinion that the building could
not be saved and that the adjoining
building of Mr. W. B. Crich & Co.,
would also fall a prey to the flames.
However the firemen and engiue were
soon on the scene and did excellent
service in checking the progress of the
flames. .A. large number of people
were just returning from Mr. Mellon-
agh's reception at Mr. Fisher's and
they turned in and did all in their
power to save the furniture &c., which
they succeeded pretty well in doing.
After getting the fire confined to the
one building, the firemen made their
best effort, to extinguish it, and save
the building, if •possible.. In this they
were certainly successful. However
the upstairs department is completely
gutted, including the tools of the work-
men. Besides . having the windows
broken, Messrs. W. B. Crich & Co.,
had a quantity of costly furniture
ciauntged and broken by removal.
INSURANCE.
Messrs. Crich & Co., were insured in
the Union for furniture, $1200, tools,
1OO, on building,. $600. Mr. Deihl
is insured for $1000 on stock and
:$000 on building.
CAUSE.
'From the circumstances it would
appear that the fire was the work of an
incendiary. Mr. Deihl positively
states that he was through the shop- ret
half past ten only a short time before
the, alarm was given, and there Was 110
sign of any fire at that time, and fur

and funeral notices were furnished and
posted up free of charge. In the morn-

PICNICR, — On Tuesday last the occu-
pants of Victoria Block had a picnic
and drove to the Point Farm near
Goderich, where a most enjoyable time
was spent by the company in "taking
in" the sweet breezes, "strolling on the
sands," and other pastimes. They ar-
rived there about 1(4(1(1and were cor-
dially received by Mr. Wright, the
popular litildlord. They then proceed-
ed to to a summer 10)050 in the grove
to pat take of their repast, and the drive
seemed to have given them a good appe-
tite, at, least one would have thought
so from the way in which the good
things disappeared. After taking a
stroll along the numerous paths in
the grove they proceeded to the house
when, ti 03? enjoyed theinSelVt'S at, the
