DISASTROUS Fine.—Last Monday morn-
ing, about 1 o'olook, fire was discovered
in east end of the Weiss hotel and with a
strong wind blowing the little blaze was
fanned into a mighty flame the hotel soon
being levelled to the ground. Northward
the fire swept burning the abed and large
barn and westward destroying the store
of Mrs. Ritohie, the store of A. McNair
and then, despite all that could be done,
the comfortable briok veneer residence of
Mr. McNair fell a prey to the devonting
- element. The progress of the fire was
stayed here on account of the brick wall
and the storehouse close by was not burn-
ed. There is said to be an insurance of
$1800 on the hotel property, which is held
by W. Welsh, of Listowel. Mra.Ritohie's
insurance was cancelled a abort time ago
but the most of her goods were removed.
Nearly the entire stook in the McNair
store was destroyed. It was expected
that the fire could be prevented from
getting to this building and when it
caught the smoke was so dense it was
hazardous to life to enter. Mr. McNair's
loss on store and contents is estimated at
$4,600 to $5,000, insured for $2,000 in the
Eoonomiaal, Berlin. There was $1,000
on house and contents, loss $1,100. How
did the fire start 7 There had beenno
fire in that portion of the building for a
day or so and the general impreesion is
that it is a oRSe of incendiarism. A. rig
was heard driving away, at a rapid rate e
few minutes before the fire was discovered.
The fire started between the siding and
inside wall, where a board was off. The
license was cancelled on May let and
goeaip affirms that 3114 fact may have
something to with the incendiarism. An
investigation may throw a little light on
the perpetrator of this distardly work.
011511Ea8 CAUefT.
All the mail matter was saved from the
poatof ice in Mr. McNair's store but about
$150 worth of postage stamps were burn-
ed. Mr. McNair, who is the township
Treasurer, made a rush for the safe and
got out the municipal records and left the
door of the safe open expecting to get
batik but the fire and smoke prevented.—
The hotel was 20x80 feet and was built
many years ago by the late James Tusk,
who had a log house on the same gronod
previously, and was one of the pioneers
of this locality. The store adjoining was
21x89 fent and for several years was run
by R. W. 'Puok, now of Shelburne. Mr.
MoNair'e store was one of the oldest
buildings in the village and was built of
loge by Jno. Lsckie, of Toronto, in the
Fall of 1866. Mr. Leoitie kept store here
for 5 or 6 years and before removing to
Brussels told out to T. Leadbeater, who
Dame from Lindsay. The new purohaeer
carried On bueiness until 1874 when he
too went to Brussels and Mr. McNair
suooeeded and has continued there from
that date. Previous to this he bad taught
SO110o1 in Grey tovvnehfp for 15j yearn.
Li 1882 Mr MaNair's brick residence was
put up,—There is 16 aoree of land belong.
ing to the hotel,—Mise Jennie McNair
bed one of her eyes injured by a flying
cinder and for it bitneshe suffered great)
frpnl it,—Mie, Ritchie moved heretoolvf.
to the Foresters' Hall and Mr. Mo'Nair
the pgetotllpe and whatever goods be bad
to the atone underneath, next door to
Long's hotel --The men worked luso hero,
5e in the removal ,of perishable property,
care iDg water,
to,, and tbewomen were
nota whit behind them in their effort.—
Mr. Weiss had sold the most of hie house..
hold etfeots the Friday previous but lost
some bedding, clothing and the like and
some say had a close call for hie life.--.
Dlr. Welsh, owner of the hotel property,
was here on Tuesday.—Mr. McNair will
rebuild in the near future, He has 2
aoree of land and had the brink and part
of the necessary lumber on hand for a
new store he contemplated erecting. The
family is now residing in part of William
Perrie'e residence.—The village' has had
many visitors since Monday morning to
see the ruins. -Had it not been for the
shade trees and a favorable wind the
buildings on the South side of the street
would have certainly been doomed as
there is no fire protection outside of pails
and wilting hands.-Muob sympathy is
felt for those burned' out.
The re -organization' and election of of-
deere Inc bus Classic City Gun Club, of
Stratford, took place the other evening
when the following officers were oleoted;
-F. Clegg, president; J. Rutherford,
vioe•president ; E. Brown, captain ; M.
Gotby, seoretary-treaeuree. It is the
club's intention to enforce the game laws.

BOY WON
Joseph John England, of Irish
descent, was the teacher in the
Wrestling Department. Below
you will read of the success of one
of his pupils when put to the test.
About 19 years ago one bright
Summer afternoon, on the old
Cricket ground in the town of
Clinton, there were met together
a number of sports and after a
friendly game of cricket a dis-
pute arose between J. M. and T.
J. over wrestling, whereupon a
youth whose trips were learned
at school on the 5th Con., Morris,
stepped forward and threw five
men (one after the other) every
one heavier than himself, and
then Jamie you rushed about
cheering lustily for Sandy, then
of the Manchester House. But
before the contest was over how
anxiously you watched the Black-
smith, whose name is forgotten,
but he then used to work in T.
Tipling's shop, how he tried to
avoid the Joseph John England
Trip, but finally made up his
mind to take the risk—conse-
quence was he came down like a
thousand of brick.
Why do SMITH & MOLAREN
sell five times the quantity, yes
five times, more Readymade
Clothing than any other store in
town, and have for the last fif-
teen years ? Simply this, they
have learned their business.
Buying large, clearing lines from
the manufacturer can most cer-
tainly buy from 25 to 40 per
