Three Children Burned to Death Mealoid, Nov. -Jii â€" Word was received in Mcaford this inoriiing of a smious lire which took pl.-icj at Mr. Eierult Boyle's, y.h line, St. Vinceni, Sunday evening at about 8. ao o'clock. It ajipears Mr. and Mrs. Boyle and family had been on a visit to Mrs, Boyle's mother. Sirs. Wm. Goudy. a few miles disUiiit. They re- turned in the evening and put iho chil- dren to bed, and left a ianip burning on .1 shelf ill 'he house, which was of frame, while they went to do the work at tho barn. It is not, or never will be, known how the lire originated, but it is.supposed the lamp exiiloded. The tiic had made suih headway when the pirenln noticed it that there was no possible oliance of saving the children. All t'lree, the entire fam- ily, were burned to -» crisp, tho eldest a girl of five years, a boy of threr, and ihu baby, a girl of uiio year. Tho paioiils, who are grief stricken, have the deepest syii)|)uhy of the whole C'lminuuity. Bad Fire at Feversham Tho brick store anil d.velliiiit in Kovi r- gliain, owned mid i cjupied by Mr. C, H. K')erts, meichant, was burned to the ground on Thursday night of last week. Tho lire iiocurred about 11 o'clock a' night. .Mr. Eberts wa* iliu only one up cl the time, the rtst of the family having g(>ne to bod. The causii of the liio was a lamp cNploding from somo iiiikiiown cause. Mr. Eberts alUinptod to beat out the IliiDies hut was unsuccessful, and the whole biiikiiiig i<iid coiilents weut up in sinoko, the family saving absolutely nuthini!. In fact they had to wrap bed clothing arijund ihoni and got out the back w.iy. The D.vpiey lelcplione ex- change was at the roar of tho store and Miss Kaittliig, the operator, sli pt there. I^lio had only time to throw a pair of shoes out of tho windo.v and crawl out in her night duthos. It is said Miss Kaitting lost a considera'le sum of iiioiiry as well as hor clothing. The telephone exchange was, vf course, destroyed,- and tho Osprey lines are now out of business. The loss w a heavy one for Mr. Eberls to b.nr. He has only had pos-sestion of tho premises for less than a year, having purcha-ed from Mr. H. I'oiigoe of Port MoNiclioll. There was an insurance of 8(800 on tne building, $1100 „n stock and lixtures, ai^ $900 on the household fuini urc and piatio.

Fioin iho Owen Sound Adtjeriiscr If it is correct, as it has been reported, hat tho township of Kiiphrasia has ilonv! iiolhing toward the Brilish Rod Crots fund, and ihut nothing Ins been done for patriotic pu: posts oulsitie tho provincial and county levies, II is a mutter of reurti. Just why Kuphiasia should haiiu bii.k when all the loinainiiig lownshiiii nf iln- oouuty have couio forwaid so nobly, is hard to understand. It is iinl as if there was a strong pr'j-Gornian element in tho lowiiship, as initiht he iissiuned in tho case of sumo of our other townships. Surely it must bo that tho citizens have not yet been stirred to the sonso of re- spoubibility which rests upon tlicin in couiiii 111 with tho rest of iho county mil province, as w-e liol ove the citizens aie loyal to Britain and Brili^h insiitutions if just records count for anything. In leferring t'l the pro-(«ernia!i ilc- iiiolil in the counly, it must; not be in- fei red that ihere arc no loy;d Germans.

There are numerous otlicr«,too, who are equally anxious for tliu success of the allies.
