From RECALLS .DUBLIN FIRE Mrs. Teresa tRedmond,;oldest native citizen of Dublin midway between Mitchell .and Seaforth, is one of the ever-dwutd'ling number of person: who can recall the disastrous conflag- ration that destroyed nearly half the village '59 years ago next May, Just the year befere in 111715—citizens had staged a great celebration on Domin- ion Day when. the .name of the settle- ment was changed from Carrontbrook to Dublin and the village had received its charter. • Deriving its name from the 'little 'R'iver of Carron, Carron'brook was among the first settlements in the Hu- ron Tract, and an ancient tax -roll of 113513, which came to light recently, contained the names of twenty-four ratepayers. The amount of taxes for that year was 411Lt1.25, says the Bea con -Herald. Several years later john Kidd, an uncle of Rt. Rev. John :Kidd, Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of London, op- ened the 'firs't important department store in Carronhrook. In addition to the 'store he operated a sawmill and. a large salt block, and• managed 500 acres of land close by. The first grist mill was operated 'by Hymen and Bean while Marshall and Anderson managed an extensive cooper shop. Several grocery stores sprung up with the passing of the years, as well as blacksmith shops and a large carriage shop. Back in these early clays there were no less than seven hotels in Car- ron brank and all of them did a "flour- ishing business," dispensing :liquor at fifty cents a gallon. gOn /Dominion Day, 189.8, the name of the settlement was changed front Carronbrook to Dublin and a mam- moth celebration was staged to mark the incorporation of the village. Streets were decorated with ever- greens and gaily -bedecked arches were erected on the corners. The oldest res- ident of the village, Mrs. John Car- penter )presented the ;Key of 'Dubbin to. the 'fairy queen who was crowned dur- ing •the celebration. The role of tate Winnipeg. 7'3f) p.nt.

The Seaforth News SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, /IARGUERITE SNELL KILLED BY CAR ieven-year.oldi Marguerite Snell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, 'Ephriain Snell of Hullett, died in Clinton hos- pital Friday morning of terrible in- juries suffered last Thursday after- noon when struck by a ear driven by Joseph Lester of IGoderich. The ac- cident occurred about 334 miles north of 'Clinton just as the little girl ran out of the schoolhouse of S. S. No. 5 directly into the path of the car. 'Ef- forts of the driver to miss her failed and the girl's body was thrown about 20 feet or so after ,the impact. The driver turned his car into the ditch along the road to miss her but he could not turn fast enough. A 'coron- er's jury under Coroner Dr. J• W. Shaw of Clinton viewed the remains and the scene of the accident on day. According to :Officer 'Lever of Clinton who investigated, the little girl was just coming out of school with her report card, a card that was so good she was anxious to run home to tell her parents about .it. He said that maybe she was so excited she did not stop to see if any traffic was ap- proaching but ran out onto the road directly into the path of the ap- proaching iGoderich machine, The little girl ran .from behind a parked car, the investigating ,officer was told. The extent of the :girl's injuries was not known, :but her 'condition. was re- garded as critical as soon as she was taken to the hospital at Clinton. A blood transfusion .early Friday morn- ing failed to save her. Marguerite, who . was in her eighth year, was a pupil of S.S. No, 5, Hullett, south of Lnndesl,oro. Miss .Mary _Houst n .is the teacher. She had 'been attending school about a year, Besides her par- ents she leaves two sisters. Barbara and ilayne May and two brothers, Jim and Richard. The funeral was .held to Clinton cemetery on Saturday. fairy queen was taken by Miss Mary McConnell, a sister of Dave and Frank McConnell, still prominent res- idents of ,Dublin. Mrs. Carpenter and Miss 3McConnell were 'driven through the streets in a beautiful carriage and the memorable celebration basted throughout the day and long into the night. The day did not pass, however, without its tragedy and older residents or the district will recall that Thomas Leary. a nearby farther, was thrown front his rig and killed when his hors- e' became frightened. The 'celebration of 1118718 had scarce- ly -been iorgotten when ibe disastrous tiro of 11149 wiped ant hal( the town and left many families ,penniless and without homes or possessions. Most of \ht. Kidd's enterprises were 'crip- pled by the conflagration and older residents of the village claim Dublin has never really lbeen the same since tivat disastrous clay :59 years ago. 1.1 re. .Rednntan 1 was a young girl in her 'teens when the Mire broke out just after none on that May day. Her fa- ther, the late William Carpenter, own- ed the Carpenter House, and she was at the hotel when the fire broke ottt. "The conflagration started in the saw frill owned by air. ,Kidd and it must have been smouldering for some time'becamse it had made great head- way by the time it was discovered," \,1rs. Redmond related. "The sawmill was situated across the creek down behind the stores, but in 00 time at all the flames had jumped the creek and :.et tire to the old Dominion Ho- tel ,ihirh was rot by the late Con. Pendt•ruttst. Unfortunately there was a high ;viol that day and things were dry into the bargain Sparks 'flew all overthe village and flying shingles were carried for great distances. Even the barn t'f ,George Rock, two and a half miles away in 'Hibbert township was set of fire and destroyed." The stablesat the 'Doaniniot )-Iotel •cats=ht fire at the same time as the hostelry itself, but as :Mrs. Redmond recalls it, there were no animals in the sheds at the time. The lire spread quickly along the main street north from the hotel and among the places on that side of the street that were de- stroyed were: Tom Deland''s black- smith shop and home; a doctor's of- fice; (John. Howard's tailor shop; and. the :big 'cooper shop where they made barrels. tOn the east side of the street a big frame building which 'housed John J, McKenna's drug store and 'George Ham'bly's harness shop was destroy- ed. The hones of 'both these .men ab- ove their stores were also .destroyed. Strawby's tins'hop on the same side of the street also fell prey to the :flames and so did several homes nearby. The fire spread north as far as Geonge Diesel's harness shop and 'home, .both of which were 'also lost. "It was a fixe that wit never be for- gotten by people who were here that day," Mrs. Redmond .reflected. "The only thing we had to be thankful for was that 'ne, lives were lost. It so 'hap- pened on the day of the 'fire that there was a 'barn -raising .on 'Philip .Carlin's farm at St. Coluntban, two and a half miles away, and a great many of the FREE.

The farmer who de- pends on horse power may well take a leaf out of the same book, for while horses attend to their own repairs, nevertheless a certain amount of "tun- ing up" is necessary even with 'horses if economical power is to be .obtained. This is a good tune to look into this matter, states 'G. W. Muir, Dominion Animal Husbandman. Most idle horses will have been win- tered on a good maintenance ration and rightly so, as horses fattened dur- ing the winter are inclined to be soft and in poor condition for hard spring and summer tvork. The maintenance ration of rough feeds should now be gradually replaced by a medium grain ration and .better quality roughage, preferably timothy hay, increasing the quantity until a full working ration is being feed at the start of the heavy spring work. The preparatory grain ration may consist of from i10, to 1112 pounds of grain daily in three feeds. At heavy work the ration should ,con- sist of 1 to 1A. pounds of grain and 1 ,pound of hay for every 100 pounds live weight. A 11500 pound horse would thus receive 25 to l9 pounds of grain and 115 pounds of dray i)er day. A good method of feeding is as fol- lows: morning, '6 ,pounds grain, 5 pounds hay; noon, 6 pounds ,grain, 3 pounds hay; evening, 4 pounds grain, 8 .pounds fray, 'Rolled oats or whole oats with a little bran are ideal .grain rations. A little 'barley or corn, rolled, may replace some of the oats for heavy working horses. Cut the grain ration to one-half on idle days and at week ends. A bran mash on Saturday night, made with molasses and an 00- easional dash of salt petre, will prove ,beneficial lboth during the 'fitting per- iod and while at work. ,Make all ehan'ges in feeds gradually, Salt, preferably in rock form, should he before the horses at all times. Al- low water freely and frequently with the larger supply :before rather than after feeding. Water as frequently as possible when working: If the hair is long and heavy, clip- ping is desirable and thorough groom- ing is energy well spent at all tines. Clean and fit collars and harness care- fully. Daily washing of shoulders af- ter the day's work with 'cold salt wa- ter will cleanse and toughen the skin, especially in young horses. Particular attention should be paid to the teeth and feet of the horse. If necessary, have the teeth examined and "floated" to provide proper .grind'- ing surfaces. Trim the feet carefully, keeping the wearing surfaces level. Scor work on the land, shoeing is not always necessary, but where needed frequency and correctness of shoeing is important. Lice, worms and .hots take their toll of the horse's energy and should be eliminated early in the campaign. Plenty of good feed, timely atten- tion, and thought, not nntniged with the milk of 'human kindness, will work wonders in the development of basic ,power and rippling force in m'an's faithful friend, the' noble horse. melt were there when the conflagra- tion started When they saw the .fire they came thundering down the road in buggies anti wagons like an army in marl flight, but until they got here tine womenfolk fought the .flames as best they could, When the men .canoe the women continued to pump water and carry .pails of water to the men who fought the :games on the roof- tops, -1y mother helped to try and save 'George Diegel's home, but the pump was so close to the house and the fire was so hot nothing could be done," !Neighbors, who were thankful their • own homes had not burned, took vic- tims of the 'confla'gration into their homes and gave them shelter, and people of the village later donated clothing, ,bedding and household ef- fects to some of the 'families who were left ;penniless and hotness. The fire hit Dublin a hard 'blow and the village made, little or no headway until 1900 when the 'Catholic Church was built by Father Fogerty and a new parish .formed from Irish Town, nor known as St. Colon -than. Later Separate School was built and in 1101111 the Continiiatioa School was erected, being opened the following year by the tTrsuline Sisters, The population of Dublin today is approximately 180, •
