At noon yesterday the building occupied by Mr. Wm. Domain, u a black smith shop and carriage factory, on King street, was destroyed by fire. How the tire originated in a matter of uncertainty but it was proba- bly from the forge. The Workmen left the building with everything apparently all safe but five minutes had not elapsed after their departure before I great portion of the structure was «Uncovered to be in flames, which spread so rapidly that but little could be saved. Two hone: and a few tools were got out of the blacksmith shop, and a cutter out of the carriage department; the remain- der of the contents were a total loss. The building cost between 8600 and 8700 and was insured for 8400. Mr. Domain estimates his loss on stock in the neighborhood of 81000, which is partly covered by an insurance of 8200.

The buildings being all frame, and the‘wind blowing brisk- ly in an easterly direction at the time, it was impossibleto subdue the llamas; the fireman confining their exertions to saving the structures on the opposite side of the street. It was supposed by many that at one time the whole town was in danger, but luckily the wind changed to a southerly di- rection and stayed the spread of the flames. As it is, a large portion of the business part of the town is in ashes. From the corner of Mississaga and Peter streets to. Mr. Grib- bin's store on the west, aud up to and in- cluding the Albion Hotel on the south,every- thing has been swept away. A number of the sufl'erers succeeded in saving a large portion of their stock, but of course in u very damaged coudition.-â€"-Pacl-el. On Tuesdnyevening the driver of the mixed train bound for Lindsay saw three cows on the track a short distance south of McLaren's creek, and, slackening speed, caused the en- gine to emit the loudest and most terrifying slirieks of which it was capable ; but the animals, though badly scared, persisted in keeping betwueu the mils, and quite an ex- citing chase ensued. The passengers thrust their heads and shoulders out of the car mn- dows in hopes of seeing the fun, and were grst'fied by occasional glimpses through a cloud of dust of the heels or tails of the fugitives, who finally, after a med gnllop of about half a mile, left the track and dashed up a narrow path in the embankment which probably led to their owner’s premises. - - Times.
