Brussels,
o•
• Flats.—About 1 o'clock on Sun-
day morning a fire broke out in the
Halliday Block, in Miss Montgom-
ery's furniture store, which resulted
in the complete destruction of the
entire block. The buildings being
composed of wood and the fire hav-
ing gained great headway before any
alarm was given, all hope of saving
the block was abandoned and the ef-
forts of the firemen were directed
successfully in confining to its orig-
inal source and in saving the ad-
joining buildings. The town fire
engine, which is a Ronald, did noble
service, working steadily and throw-
ing two powerful streams for over
three hours, when the fire was got
under control, and but for its effici-
ency it is safe to predict that the ad-
joining buildings would have been
destroyed. 'The losses, so far as can
at present be ascertained, are as
follows:—Mies Mo'htgomery, furni-
ture partly, destroyed, $500; insur-
ance unknowns. Thomas Ferguson,
stoves and tinware, $1,500; insured
for $800. William Roddick, lose on
building, $800; insured for $350.
John Halliday, loss on building
$1,500; insured for $1,600. The
Misses Barnette, less on clothing and
contents, $500- no insurance. The
fire is suppoied to have been the
work of an incendiary.

FATAL ACCIDENT,—One of our
most estimable young ladies in the
person of Miee Agnes Lockhart, left
home on Friday morning last, about
nine o'clock for the purpose of pick-
ing berries, and before one she was
a corpse, having been instantly killed
by a stroke of lightning. It ap-
pears that she, in company with her
sister and another young lady, had
remained in the berry -patch on the
rear of Mr A. Robinson's farm until
the thunder storm came up when
they started for home; but the rain
overtaking them before they reached
a place ofshelter, they sought refuge
uuder a tree. The tree was struck
by lightning just as the unfortunate
girl, who was a little in advance of
the others, reached it. The other
two young ladies were stunned for a
short time, but on recovering carried
the sad intelligence to some neigh-
bors, who immediately proceeded to
the scene of the accident and took
the body home. The sudden death
of so useful and exemplary a young
lady is a very severe trial to her
parents and friend,e who have the
sympathy of the entire community.
The remains were carried to Maitland

noon followed by a very large funeral
procession.
