Devonshire is a rnost lovely country,

and they call it the Garden of England.
-Everywhere you go you see beautiful scen-
ery; a,nd I do not know how to begin to
describe it to ,you. I think the most
beautiful place We have been to see yet, is
'Torquay. It is a fashionable watering
place; and great numbers of people visit
it every , year; it is built on the'sea-side.
All around, the hills rise so pretty, and
nice villas and gentlemen's residences are
built upon the sidea, perched up like nests
among the trees;. The day we werelhere
the .sea looked so beautiful and such a
ely. blue. We hire a cab and drove
all-around the place as it would be irn-
possible to walk it in a day.; we enjoyed
it very much. We went down to the sea-
side for a while, and picked -up scene very
pretty,stones; they make setts of jewellery
out of them. Some„ of the stones ;are
marked with spots andleaves, and they
g,rind them smooth and set them in silver
and gold, and, when fthished,, they look
quite nice. We -took the train to- a place
called Totness where there is the remains
of an old castle, there being nothing left
but the old walls all overgrown with ivy.
. -
It is wonderful how the ivy we pet up in
Canada grows everywhere here, over every
old Wall in the woods and in fact any
thing it can cling to. • We went to see a
very old church ;with some beautiful carv-
ings and monuments. We took the steaM-
er and rode down the river Dart which is
called the English Rhine, because the
scenery on each side is so fine, with many
residences on the hills which rise above
the river. • When We arrived at Dart -
month we started to see the ramains ()fan
old castle, but there is nothing left of it to
see but someold svalls. There is a new
one where the soldiers are now, which
commands a:good view of the sea. Down
'below the castle was a sort of cave, above
whiCh the rocks rose I suppose sonae hund-
reds of feet, I know I had many steps to
go down before Iot to the ground, but I
was well repaid,,,ftar the stones on the sea-
side were all soqef4ty, itwas 'first covered
with them, pink and green and other colors.
I was delighted,;a11 the great rocka were
• covered with little shells, and in the sides
of, the rocky banks were little caves that a
person could walk into, it was so pretty I'
.wish you cbuld haie seen it with me.
rTheie was an old church here too, that
aye wept to sed, I don't know how old, but
rknow it {YRS a very ugly one. We left
for Painthn, another pretty watering place,
and spent some time on the beach before
_goihg_home.. I cannot' describe all our
trips. There is'such lovely walks here,
long lanes with hedges on each side, with
flowers and trees also on the side. The
hedges are not like the ones you see in
Canada; there 1S first a bank of earth
three or four feet high, and then thess are
liraiited-Wftitti-eeS -an-d-bii-shv.itb iv

FIRE.
CooPERI & MOKENzIE's PLAND's: MILL
DEsTRoYED.
LOSS, $io,oco.
• At one o'clock' on Wednesday, it was
discovered that the large planing factory
of Messrs. Cooper & McKenzie, situate
near the Grand Trunk Railway, in this
town, Was on fire. The alarm was imme-
diately given, and although the Fire Cona-
pally, with the exception of two memberg,
Chief G., E Pay and J. Croll, were away
at Tendon, willing hands quickly had the
engir,e on the spot, but the fire had -gain-
; ed such headway that nothing could be done,
:towards eavbsy,.-the---1711111-ing 'Proper, and
attention was turned to the adjacent
'buildings, all of which were frame, and
whieh were fortunately saved.
The planing mill was filled with-raould-
ing, lumber, finished work ot different
kinds, and; all being as dry as matchwood,
burned With lightning -like rapidity.
Pike's new hotel was at one time in
great clanger of being burned, but Il,lessrs.
Searle and ,Dennison had bravely. hauled
down the hand engine, and with other as-
sistance, soon threw a stream of water on
the building, tha,t saved it from • destruc-
McGarva's store -house on the opposite
side of the road, filled with hay and a
couple of car loads of barrel heading, was
On fire several times, but was also -saved
by thehand engine,
Cooper & McKenzie's ()Rice, and also a
store -house used, for finished stock,. were
in great danger, but were saved after much
In e dry -kiln were 20,000 feet of lurn-
ber, which Cost $35 a thousand, and of
course all this was destroyed among it
was 3,000 ft. to be used in the casings for
Fair's new mill.
All the Window sash ready fitted forPike's
hotel, about 200 finished panel doors, of
th e best description,and all the teols'belong-
ing to the workmen, were among the ar-
ticles destroyed.
• The mill was one of the mest complete
,of its kind, being fitted with the finest
machinery of every description. The pro-
.prietors had a great deal of work on hand,
'both here and in tbe country, and the 1
fire will very seriously ernbarass not only
'them, but their customers alae.
There was only an insurance of $2,500
on the premises, and the loss will be in
the neighborhood of $10,000. Whether
•they will rebuild or not, we cannot yet
say, but no donbt a strong effort; will be
made to induce them to do so, as the town
is now without an establishment of this
nature.
• How the fire started is not known, but
it is supposed to have been, from the fur-
nace. Everything was perfectly safe
when the employees went ,to dinner,- and
unconscieus ()tithe fact that inside
the premises were on fire, sane of the
,men sat outside waiting for the oue o'clock
o ring:
those who lent a helping hand to
save property, deserve credit therefor, but
special mention ehofild be made of Mr. R.
• Fox. • Both the fire -e ng,incer and assistan t
were absentfrom town, but he toOk charge
of the fire engine, (although'he had never
ran it before) and successfully ran it all
the time it was in use. The chief of the
Tire Company also worked like trojan.
Had there been a strong wind blowing

DReNtiNED
MRS. GALLAGHER PouXD DEAD IN A
UISTERH,
On Sunday last the people of the town.
were astonished to learn that Mrs. Bridget
Gallagher, who has for some little time
been staying ‘yith Mrs. Salt, bad somehow
fallen into the cistern on Mrs. Salt's premi-
ses and was drowned. The cleecaSed was
an old lady being six years beyond the
Scriptural allowance of three score and '
'ten. She and her husband lived for a
long time ni Goderich township, and re-
centlyashe has stayed in town., Her son
Mr. Jas. Gallagher resides' on Princess
street but having a large family the old
lady preferred to live elsewhere than with •
him. • Mrs. Salt offered her a home, and
no one could have shown her better kind-
ness than she did. ; On Saturday evening
the household retired to rest as usual,
sand on Sunday morning all arose except-
ing Mrs. Salt, who has been for sometime
very unwell. Mrs. Gallagher prepared
breakfast of which she and 1VIr. A. Ta.yloao,
who also stops in the same place, partook.
Between half past eight and nine o'clock
Mr; Taylor went out for a walk. Mrs.
Gallagher a short time after carried sothe
breakfast to Mrs. Salt who still remained -
in bed. Mrs. Salt at the) time jocularly
--remaa Led tostre.r that ".ahe was so good a
servant that she Would retain her for an-
other season." Sometime between' 9 and
10 o'clock, Mr. Salt,•who is hostler at the
Queen's immediately opposite, saw her
moving about the house, and son,
Mr. Jas, Gallagher, paid her a visit leav-
ing her apparently in her usual health,
This was the last seen of her. Mrs. Salt
got up at about 11 o'clock and missing
the old lady, instituted a search, but gaye
up in the belief that she had gone to visit
herson. Mr. Taylor returned about din-
ner time and remarked in the absence of
Mrs. Gallagher, and -Mrs. Salt, who had
just disccivered that her shawl and bon-
net were in -their usual place, expressed
uneasiness ancI'Mr. Taylor volunteered to
go and see if she were at her son's house.
He was preparing to go when the dread
discovery was made that- the 'Poor old
lady had found a watery grave. Most of
our readers are familiar with Mrs. Salt's
preinises, but for those who are not we
