About two o'clock in the morning our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by the mad and unusual cry of fire and it was not long before it was discovered that the build- ing used by Messrs. Jones & Halls for drying apples, and owned by Mr. H. Brown, was on fire. Soon a large crowd was on the scene but the destroying elements had gained too mach head- way to be averted and soon spread to the blacksmith shop, conducted by Messrs. Richardson & Easson both be- ing destroyed in a short space of time. The store of Messrs. Couch & Roy was ignited several times and it was with considerable difficulty the building was saved. Mr. Brown's loss will be heavy, between $800 and $1,000, with no in- surance; Messrs. Jones & Halls, about $600, partly covered by insurance, while Messrs. Richardson & Easson's loss will be between $150 and $200. We under- stand the shop will be rebuilt in the near future. Zurich. snow.

Egmondville: The people of our village were startled and saddened on Monday afternoon, at learning of the death of the late Mr. C. R. VanEgmond. It was generally known that his health had been a source of anxiety to his relatives and friends for a considerable time, but few thought the end so near. Up to about five years ago he had al- ways enjoyed the best of health, thanks to a good constitution and a strictly temperate life. Al . at that time he was prostrated by a. severe attack of la grippe, which left him with a chron- ic ailment of the heart. This, however, did not prevent him from having com- fortable health for lengthened periods when he was able to attend to his or- dinary duties on the farm. During the past year complications began to set in, and notwithstanding the efforts of the hest physicians he breathed his last about one o'clock on Monday after- noon. The deceased was the oldest son of the late C. L. VanEgmond, and was born in this village in 1853. In 1876 he was united in marriage to Jes- sie, daughter of the late Joseph Collie, who. with a family of five sons and two daughters, are left to mourn the loss of a husband and father, ever lov ing and considerate of their every want.
