A trial solicited, The station hotel, known as the Man- nell [fouse, Listowel. operated by John Weich, was destroyed by fire early on Tuesday morning. The Joss is about $4,000, partially covered by insurance The origin of the fire is unknown. Several times reeently we haye had eccasiou to refer to the nuisance ofa number of young men gathering in front of stores, ending sometimes in the breaking of windows. Now it is the girls' turn. It seems that one night last week anumber of young lassies were playing in the doorway of Pric:'s hardware store when one of them wus pushed against a side window and thus broke the glass. The girls disappeared and the glass has neyer heen paid for The begt place for these girls is in their own homes, studying their school lesson Or reading some good book. Why @id they not acknowledge to Mr, Price that they '+d broken the glass and he would gladly have accepted the explan- ation.
