' An unfortunate fire broke out in the Division Court oflSce here last Satur- day night about 11:80 o'clock by which a large amount of damag* was done before it was discovered and put out. The Clerk, Mr. McDonald, whose resi- dence is only a few yards from the office, had gone in for a book about an hour after the light had been put ont and struck a match lu the neighbor hood of a waste-basket and a lot of newspapers on the floor, leaving im- mediately on getting the book. Be thinks the fire must liave started from the match-end dropping or sulphur flying off it, as the lamp had been out an hour and the fire veiy low in the stove. About 20 minnt«s afterwards, the fire was noticed from the Shewell House across the street and the alarm given. A few mmtttes suffice to put it out, but not until the front lugs of a writing table on which stood a large case' of pigeon holes filled with papers had burned off and let the -whole case and contents on the burmng floor. The case eontained the records of the Division Court for the last 80 years or more. On the floor stood the Division Court books on end and a number of other books, including those of the Sydenham St. Vincent Stock Co. Some of these were totally destroyed and others badly }amaged, but none so badly but that record can be got of everything or nearly bo. The papers in the pigeon holes were badly burned on the ends but otherwise are not much injured. The office contained the Mechanics' Institute library, some 400 volumes, and the books on the upper shelves are badly damaged. It also contained a private library of about the same size, including a new Appleton's Encyclopaedia, valuf id in all about $700, and this too is badly dam- aged on the upper shelves. It is re- markable, however, how both libraries escaped so well. In the room adjoin- ing the office and connected with it by a door was the armory oT No. 6 Co., Slst BattaUou, containing property of the value of at least $8,000. This escaped unhurt. The books destroyed or injured were those most in use, but as already stated they are not so badJy injured but that rec.ird can be got of nearly everything of importance. New books have been ordered, and the old charred ones will be used only when required. In the office also were a large number of private papers but these were kept in drawers on the side of the room larthest from the fire and escaped unharmed. The loss will not be mose than $400, but the trouble of re-assorting everything will be enor- mous. There was no insurance on anything. On the whole there is reason to be thankful that the fire was not worse, for had it not been noticed just when it was, or had it got draught, everything would have gone and it would have been almost impossible to save the whole block down to the old Post Office corner. Mr. McDonald has decided to do two things, first to insure, and second, to get a safe. ' fabUe OnMotidaylasta in Holland Centre tol3'«.^, the farmer? m refers' ' PC factory.
