A most disastrous fire occurred Mon• day morning at 8 o'olook. The large salt works, dairy salt mill, saw 01111, stave and heading factory, together with several thousand barrels of salt, belong. ing to Peter McEwen, Saltford, were completely destroyed. The lose will be about $15,000, The insurance is not very large. Tho flames spread to the tannery of Joseph Beok, destroyed the old part of Me plant. By the aid of the Goderioh Mehra fire engine and brigade, .which went over to Saltford, a plentiful supply of water was had from the river, The ilreneu saved the new portion of the tannery containing the maohinery. Mr. Book's lose will be abont 02,000, covered by ineuranoe in the Western and Lan. =thin companies. Had it not been for the steam fire engine the village would have been swept ont of existence, as a high southerly wind was blowing. The villagers had a herd light to keep the flames under contro). The supposition is that the toot of the salt block was struck by lightning, an a tretnendoua electric+ discharge occurred about that time, eroding many of the inhabitants who notiaod the fiances It few minutes afterwards and gave the alarm. There had been no fire in the furnace of the welt block for three weeks. ktuoh sympathy is expressed for Me, MoDwan in his great lose as he hae been one of our most energetic and enterprising salt manufacturers. This is the second time within a few years that his salt works have been destroyed by fi.m.

Doubtless it will be found that where oroharde havo been negleotecl and are loaded with fruit the sample will be small, So far ae this motion ie ooucerned, there is now no doubt that our export apples will at picking' time be of an unusually large average size, notwithstanding the great prop ; exceedingly clean, of line form and exoellent dolor. Praising will begin two to three weeks earlier than usual, and I ant sore with proper acre on the Pert of paokers and shippers, our apples will do Canada honor in all roped(' in any market In the world; and as the superior keeping quality of apploe tram this district le well known, I feel sure that the Orap will, as it should, command a good prize, even in glutted markets.
