The scene of the flre was the large hennery owned by Messrs Berry & Peart, and which had just been erected last fall. out i .slim modern con- veniences fitted With I It was t h about four venences and contained `'• hundred hens. Everything was de- stroyed; the wind was very high and had it been in any other direction a number of buildings would have been in great danger, and the people of this village would to -day be thinking that -a system of fire protection would be more .beneficial to the welfare of Hen - sail than electric light. We believe the building was well insured, but as the business was in its infancy, it will occasion considerable loss to the own- ers. The cause of the fire is not known, as there had been no fire in the build- ing for several weeks. Are the prices we ask for it. line of Summer Suits, made to your order.

' To get away from feast and fashion and live just as you please, with a few fish and some fragments washed down with the pure water of a sparkling springis ideal holidaying for the city visitor. No trouble, no care, no noise or bustle, but one live long day of quiet enjoy- ment. Fishing, rowing, reading and bathing constitute the program.

INQUEST.—On Thursday morning, the 12th inst., Coroner Dr. Stanbury was summoned to Blake, to hold an in- quest on the body of one James Dun- bar, who had lived alonen a little house for a number of year', and was found dead in his bed. Decbased was about 62 years old and had been in failing health tor some time, though it does not appear he had received any attention or medical treatment. A thorough examination was made of the house and contents , as well as of the body, but no startling facts were revealed. ° A few papers and letters from the island of Malta, in the Medi- terranean sea, pointed to the only relatives which deceased appeared to have, and even these documents date back some eight or ten years. It also appears he had lived at one time in or about St. Marys. Parties who know anything about the deceased or his affairs are requested to communicate with the Coronor. The verdict of the jury was "death from natural causes." Holmesville. WILD BEAST SHOW (?)—A few of our citizens attended the circus in Gode- rich on the 12th.

SEAL HUNTING}.—Word has been re- ceived from Mr Will Grigg, which states he is in a seal hunting expedi- tion oft the coast ofJapan. He expects to be home to Ontario this fall or win- ter. If a good marksman is a sign of success, we are sure Will will be able to capture a good many seals. CORRECTION,—Last week in men- tioning about Mr Geo. Youngblutt losing a horse, we stated that it fell in turning around. We are informed that it fell on the level road, seemingly without any cause whatever, and on examination the leg was found broken. We didn't think George wits careless enough to let a horse stumble in that shape, but we believe it fell without his permission, Ashfield.
