There are 52 widows on the dist. Zurich. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. -The Zurich ;Woollen Millet owned by Johnston Bros., were entirely destroyed by fire about 9 atm. Tuesday. The mill was in full blast When the fire broke out, and it is supposed to bane started in some way in the centre of the "picker" cy- linder; eveitIthing bei ag of such an in- flammable nature, the fire made great headway, . and practically nothing could be saved. About 16,000 lbs of wool was in stock, the most of which was destroyed. After the roof fell in Mr Johnston managed to cut the large rubber driving belt, which was the on- ly thing saved. The loss will be in the neighborhood of $10,000, on which there was no insurance whatever. The same property was burned out once before, 24 years ago. DEATH. -Again we are reminded of the uncertainty of life. Another va- cancy has been created in our midst, by the death of Mrs Janet Radcliffe, of the township of West Wawanosh, which sad event occurred at her late residence, last Thursday evening. De- ceased has suffered severely for the past year, hem a general breaking down of the system. That morning she felts better than usual, appeared brigh ' l day, and talking of a speedy recovery. In the evening, feeling tire, she requested the family to leave her ane for a short time to enable her to have a short rest. On entering, a 'short time afterwards, the vital spark had fled. Deceased was born at Berwick on Tweed, emigrating to Ca- nada 63 years ago, remaining in the neighborhood of Whitby. 51 years ago she was married to Mr James Rad- cliffe; they came to West Wawanosh 25 years ago, residing on the same lot until her decease. Mr Radcliffe died about four years after their removal here. She leaves a family of six daugh- ters and two sons to mourn her de- cease, the eldest son, Dan, living in Michigan; Mrs John Flaking, bottom, of W. Wawanosb; Mrs Jas. Hakingbot- tom, of E. Wawanosh; Mrs Graves, of Seaforth; Mrs A. E. Collis, of this vil- lage, and the youngest son, Thomas, and Maggie and Jean, residing with their mother, She was a member of the Presbyterian church here, highly reopected and esteemed by all who were acquainted with her. Her re- mains were interred in Ball's cemetery, followed by one of the largest funerals that has been witnessed here for a long time. She had passed the allotted three score and ten by three months. The family have the sympathy of the neighborhood in this their hour of trial. ACCIDENTS. -At Mr. A. Robinson's raising. on Saturday the llth inst., Mr. A. Mugford was struck with a pike -pole and received some severe in- juries. We are glad to see him around again but he still suffers from the ef- fects of them. Mr. Samuel Mitchell also got his foot slightly crushed at the same raising. Mr. Samuel Butts, one day last week, while riding in the back end of a rig, was:jerked out over, and in the fall broke his collar bone and dislocated his shoulder. On the 13th inst., he slipped and again broke the bone where it bad knit. We hope soon to hear of his speedy recovery.

In the evening the program consisting of singing.recl- tations and speeches was well rendered and enjoyed by a large concourse of people.
