When first discovered it had gained considerable headway, nearly the whole inside of the roof be- ing on fire but by the prompt exer- tions of our citizens it was soon got nnder control. Fortunately it oc- curred during daylight for had it oc- curred during the night the results would have been most disastrous, as the house was surrounded on all sides by frame buildings. Had it once got well going there is no knowing where it would have stopped. The Xmas Tea Meeting held in the P. M.

About a week ago, it was discovered that the thief was woi-king at Mr. T. Sims' lot 19 in the 18th con. Glenelg. By some means, he heard the con- stable was on his trail^jhe suddenly took his departure, taking with him a horse, the product of a second trade but left the harness which had also been traded. It is not known with whom he made the last trade. We are informed the animal Lad a lump on his jaw and was about 5 years old.
