A D.%NUEn0Il PRACTICE.—We are in- formed that• a number of boys and young men are in the habit, in the evenings, of enjoying furious horse -back exercises on Goderich street from the agricultural grofinds to the Mansion hotel, and. that on more than one occasion the lives and limbs of small children, while playing on. the street, have been endangeredby this dangerous practice. While, therefore, parentis should endeavor to keep their children from such a dangerous play ground as a street on which there is con- tinuous traffic, those wishing to try the speed and metal of their steeds should se - led a lees populous thoroughfare for that purpose. l�'XRE. -On Monday evening last, about 10 -o'clock, considerable excitement was occasioned in towieby the sounding of the fire alarm. In a short time the streets were erowdcd with per ons eagerly 'run- ning "hither and thither enquiring "where is the tire ?" Tothis question none seem- ed able to give a satisfactory reply. Some said it was one place and. some another, and many more with 'equal confidence af- firmed that it was a false alarm. At length it was definitely ascertained that the new oat meal mill was the place in danger. It seems that one of the journals of the shafting became over heated and ignited a wooden beam near it, the fire communicating from this to the floor. Fortunately the lira was noticed in time, and a few pails of water quenched it. 1 STRAWBERRI Good Templars intend holding their hall, on Se CHURCH OPE: pal church is to bunday in Augu expected that t pleted.
