The Campana will leave shortly atter seven in the morning and return about midnight,. and the faro for the round trip will be one dollar.

During the storm on Saturday evening, the house owned and Occupied by Mr. D. McKay on Cameron street was struck by light- ning. The current struck the roof at :the south chimney, and then apparently separated, one part passing between the plaster and the siding and the other passed into the chimney and setting fire to Abe soot. The siding was slightly damaged and in the inside the bottom of the chimney was blown Out and several, yards of the plaster torn off the wall. The fire did' 'no other damage, although the reflec- tion was seen up town, it having lasted but a minute. The family was considerably frightened by the occurrence, but we are pleased to record that no personal injury .re - stilted.

During the heavy thunder storm which passed over this hamlet- 'on Saturday evening last, the log • barn on A: Sloan's farm, a short distance north of here, forinerly known as the Moore Boyd farm, was, struck by lightning and totally -consumed with a quantity of hay • and • imple- ments. A number of our citizens with' neighboring farmers worked hard keeping the devouring element from . consbming the large frame barn which was only.. a few feet from the dooMed oue. Atone time they thought it was almost au, itn- possibilityas it had get.quite a hold of it, but with their untiring energy they succeeded in saving it.

He paid good prices. Mr. Polley is well known as a horse buyer in this sec- tion and always pays good prices for sound horses. • If one were to_judge by the number of berry pickers who are engaged in that business the last week they must intend to make up for the shortage in other small fruit.

On Thursday evening Mr. Peel of Toronto, agent for the underwrit- ers fire Insurance Co., dropped off here for the purpose of testing cur fire protection.

The. Agent gave the boys great credit for the way they handled the machine also for the excellent fire protection we have. About half past twelve the same night the fire alarm was again sounded which aroused our citizens out of their slumbers to find a great blaze illuming the ambient air in the direction of 'the woolen mill. But it turned out only a hoax as it was a bonfire the boys had made to give the company a little more practice, whilst they were in the humour. . They, however, soon Made short work of it when they got the stream a going. Bayfield. One day last week the rear por- tion of Swartz hotel took fire and some harm was doneqhe building.
