At 10 p.n1., on Friday a. fire broke out grocer, Dunlop St. It was discovered by the driver of a gig, who was passing.

His man Frank, assisted by some returned soldiers, pluckily ` removed these withput (la1na.ge, but 21 ` horse and two dogs in the stable lost their 1 lives. This was probably due to the fact] that Mr. Paddison was in bed when the` outbreak occurred. Under the direction of | Chief Shrubsole the brigade prevented thel re from spreading to a barn at the back,` within a few feet of the burning building.

The barn was totally destroyed, the damage to the building being estimated at $100. On Tuesday night, about 9.30, the Bri- gade was called to J. Scott's ice house, at the back of Bi-yson s bakery in Mary St. Some hay on the top of the ice was found to be on fire and was extinguished by pails of water. There no roof to the` building, and it is supposed that the re was caused by boys. lcouniv CASUALTlES\ vv\1~..`.,.__.. A. Foster, Inf., Midland. W. Higgins, 1nf.,Craighurst. D. E.
