-LUMBER.— The saw mill owners in
this vicinity are making preparations
.for a very extensive year's business. The
prospects are that hunber will be in great
demand at high prices 'during the coming
sealon, and °dr men are not behind in
their efforts to have everything . ready
to enable them to take advantage of the
active market. The number of logs at,
the millshere is very large, and in pass-.
ing;ither of the mills one can not help
wondeeing, where all the saw logs ceme
from. Messrs:, M. & T. Smith have now
at their_mills Over -4,000 standa d of pine
logs, and. if the sleighing_
at
in
short time longer, they expect tt have
en least 1,500 or 2,000 more. Mr. . a,nstone
11has now at his new mill about 1,800
1 standard and expects to have aover a
1 thousand more laid down along the liver
o. which he willefloat down when the sprites
freshet comes. Messrs. Mabee - & Mc
Donald,
Donald, of the Grey Aills, have also a,
yery large quantity on. hand.... Taking
all this into account,- -we may . fairly ex-
pect an unusually brisk lumber :trade
during the coming summer.

FIRE, —On the 21st inst., the Royal.
Hotel was destroyed by fire. The fire
was supposed to have originated from a
defect in the kitcken chimney or stove
pipe. The fire was so far advanced be-
fore being noticed that it was impossible
to do more than to save as much of the
contents as possible. ' Mr. A. G. Markle,
the proprietoe; looses heavily by the
disaster: He'as insured in the Western
for $1,400, Ontario ,Beaver, for $6,000.
$400 of the above insurance was on the
stables, .which were saved; $6,000 on
the furaiture, etc.. which will cover all
the daanages. The balance, $1,000, was
on the buildiw which is estimated to be
worth $2,500; A quantity of.liquor and
alter articles in the cellar were consum-
ed. The total loss will be about $2,000.
Mr. Markle lost no time, for the niorn,:.
ing after the fire, he opened out in one
of the stores in Mickljohnienew brick
block, and has made arrangements for
building immediately. We understand
the contract is let. The' people here
sympathise with him in his doss. • He ie a
man who is' highly respected by all.
ACCIDENTS:—The morning • after the
fire the corner was one solid sheet of ice,
and as Mr. Dougaid Medunnahatf was
turning, his sleigh slid and upset. On
the road were four persons, two of whom
escaped, but Mf. 1VIcCunnahay got his
shoulder bone bioken, and Mary Mc-
Cunnahay her arm broken close to the
wrist. --Duncan Wilksen while on his
eleigh, opposite the_ ftribune office, get -
way to Leechville gave his leg a sudden
wist, breaking it below the knee. He
rove on to his destination and after do-
.
eg his business returned. home, where
le had his leg set. -_The other.day, Mr.
urnet's little boy eot run over by a
tug his leg broken.,
