There were no incidents to relate, as the will has been idle and the point upon which it was situated uninhabited ii» a long time, and the distance from the village and the impossibility of sav- ing anything prevented any one but the caretaker and two or three other per- sons from going to the scene of the fire. The mill and all the surrounding build- ings were owned by Mr. George llil- liard, of Peterborouzh, who will be a heavy loser, as we understand there was no insurance whatever. It was rented last year by Messrs. )IcArthur S: Thom- son, who are now building a will of their own, and, failing to obtain other tenants, it was the intention of Mr. Hilliard to put in two or three circular saws and set a small gang of men to work making shitwles. The few re- maining buildings are now useless and nill rot where they stand unless they are sold for a trifle and pulled down, which will probably be done. as they contain a large quantity of lumber in good Condition.

His early death will be generally re- gretted. as his great. abilities. his integ- rity and his genial and kindly dispnsi tion made him Ono ol‘ the most popular men in the county; and the estimation in which he was held was evidenced by the fact that he was mayor of Peterbor- ough for several years, and was finally elected by the Conservatives as their representative in the Ontario Legisla- ture. where his political kuowledm and eloquence soon placed him in the front rank of debaters.

Lastly. Mr. Lnidlaw asks how can ship: be brought from Btll‘fllll Lake to Lake Simeoc ? In reply I would refer him to Mr. Baird's report on the sub- jcct. where he will get the required in- formation how barges (which have been proved to be the cheapest. possible mode of carrying: grain) and not " Atlantic steamem," us his question would imply, can get froth Balsam Lake to Lake Simone. and the very point at which the Victoria Railway company will have to con~truet a swing; bridge- before two years have expired. handled) but on the Trent VsIEey Cm. al route you can pass from the Gtorgian Bay to the St. Lawn-nee; or. more car Boston and Philadelphi: net together rectly Speaking. the lochage impunity of the Trent Valley route will be 1,800.- 000 bushels of grain per day of twelve hours, allowing: the other twelve for Western hound lockue. and as the dis tance between Chi-ago and Montreal is by this route 419 miles shorter than that by Bufl'nlo and the Erie Canal to New York. which as before stated con- sists at 352 miles of canal alone. against about .50 miles by thinâ€"ii there any doubt whatever that the Trent mute Wuuld get in a few years after it was established IIS much as the Erie Canal ? Therefore, assume that we get at least 50,000000 bushels of this euortunualy increasing: western trade to start with, and that a toll of onehall'cent be charg- ed per bushel of' wheat. (the toll on the Eric is about 1§ cents per bushel) we get a revenue of 8250.000 per year; and this, bear in mind. is exclusive of local and western bound freight. which would consist of lumber, minerals. coal &o., so that to any unpn-judiced mind the answer to the question of " Will it pay when constructed " will prove satis- factory. I consider it right that every pan-im- ic and well meaning' citizen of this clnuntry should endeavor by all possible means in his power to check the hwish expenditure on milvays in this I’mâ€" Vince, which is being carried nut. tn such an un\\'nrranlnble extent, bearing in lLLlJMl llmL the pulmlminn amounts to the grand. wtal of nnly about. that of a good SiZL‘d city in Europe.
