Fred 'Taylor, Euphrasia, lost his dwelling vrith all its contents by fire. It appears the family were all out in the harvest field when the fire was discovto- ed hence nothing could be saved. The fire is supposed to have originated from the stove pipe or chimney. There was 9300 insurance which will not half cover the loss. Garden Party. â€" On Friday evening last a successful garden puty was given in Mr. Rowe's grove, near his house, aboui a mile and a quarter south of Markdale, nnder the auspices of the Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church. Several loads- from Markdale drove out, and alro a goodly number from the country to participate in the various games and amusements which were pro- vided for the occasion, and we can safdy say that eyery one present had "just a loyely time." The eveninij was fine hut cool, and a big fire was started so that those f eeUng the chilliness of the evening might get warm. The victuals and re- freshments were good and abundantly provided.
