AFRICAN LECTURE.â€"Dr. MceDonald on Monday evening gave a most interâ€" esting lecture under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Aid of the Presbyterian church. It was accompanied by Stereopticon views, taken by himself, of vamous features of the war and these tended to make very graphic his description of men, guns, armored trains, Boers and battles. He is specially vivid in his acâ€" count of the siege of Ru»tenberg in which he took part as an artilleryman ard where for a month clothes were never pnt off, and diet was a simple mixture of half a cup of flour and water. One of the pictures showed a flat stone beside his gun which he used tor a pil low in the strenuous times. A hearty vote of thanks was given him and a silver collection helped the funds of the Society. They all say the same. _ ‘"* Why, how do they make the goods to sell at the price."

Evidently are following a plan too, while Russia apâ€" pears to be hopelessly muddled, A ‘portion of the Viadivostock fleet is reported to be bluocked out of their own harbor and wandering on the Sea of Japan.

T aiso wish to state how much I appreciate the sympathy I have received personally and by letter, from many friends. The value of the engine was again amply demonstrated, hose worked well and the brigade deserve credit. _ Mr Ed McCliocklin got a bad cut on the eyeâ€"lid, but he stuck to his post. e Board of Works should make a giflingy at the pond. â€" Indeed there shoald Mr Crawford left at 5.30 for Aberdeen, and teacher McIntosh made a record run on his wheel to inform him of the disaster. of small value in a big Are. P Mr COrawford estimates his loss on machinery, buildings, stock, &c at about $9000, so that the insurance covers a mere fraction of the value. The loss to Mr _ Crawford mounts up into the thousands, and there is only $1000 insurance, not enough to pay for one machine lately installed. _ Genuine sympathy for Mr Crawford is mixed with regrets for the town, for it is not likely another sawmill will be built The wind, fortunately not high, was from the north, and vigilant watchers made preparations to save nearâ€"by resiâ€" dences. and we believe in some instance# these did take fire. Meanwhile many willing hands tore down lumber piles or aiged the fireman in handling the hose and soon the danger of spreading was oyer but not before much valuable stuff near the mill was ruined. Ahe whistle, and the conspicuouns fiames soon brought a crowd and the fireman 15 minutes from the whistle blowing, had water playing on the lumâ€" ber piles. for the mill was hopeless, _ It was early seen that the small office building would go, for the intense heat revented entrance by the door, _ Mr glephux'n got in at the east window and managed to pass out the hooks, papers, &c., and was scarcely out himself when the rolling smoke poured out of the window. Last Thursday night about half past 6 p. m., an unusual blast on the Factory whistle startled the town and in brief space the whole town knew that Crawâ€" iord‘s sawmill was on fire bevond hope of saving. The fire seemed to have started from the engine house, and must haye been amouldering for some time, for remark bad heen made that there was an odor, as of a heated box. Mr 8. McCracken was among the tirst to notice smoke and rushed over but found himself too late as the under parts of the mill was a roaring furnace. _ He made a dash for his tools but did not succeed. _ MrJno Harbottle tried to save some door frames intended for the Hahn House, got Lw.o out, and had a narrow escape i .A i hiatBg ce xi Pssnc dsP ism tcasicd se from being overcome by smoke, A mnute more and the flames were outâ€" erde and in a flash, were the whole length of the mill. leysr AÂ¥he whistle, and the consnicuons CRAWFORD‘S MILL IN ASHES TORONTO CARD OF THANKS. »Uention to every spot where THE WAR.

The spring crop is now being rapmdly put into the ground and the land is in excellent condition, altogether too much of it was left unploughed dast fall, the winter setting in earlier than usual, and much time was lost in thrashing when Eloughmg ought to haye hbeen done. Svery day in the spring counts, and a week‘s difference in seeding may make a difference of thirty per cent in the crop, which means a loss instead of a gain. _ Early seeding is the best every time, providing always that the seed is properly put in the soil, At present the agricultual outlook is promsing and we can only hope that present promises will be fulfilled, Fruit trees have wintered all right. Mice are reported to have done a great deal of damage to orchards im cther districts, but have not done any damage in this district o far as known. _ Altoâ€" gether the outlook is promising for a good crop of fruit.

The farmer, depressed at the long stay of winter, is now huoyant with hope, and is pushing the work of seeding with energy, fully expecting a bountifal reâ€" turn from his jgvous labors.
