AbontSi o'clock on Friday morn- ing last, fire was discovered issning from the roof af the rar wing of the school building and an alarm sounded, which brought scores of our citizens bairiedly from quiet repose. The de«» vo uring element bad gained each headway that there was no possibihty of saving the structure, so vigilant and well directed efforts were made in sav- ing the contents, resulting in tiie re moval of the books, some desks and most of the furnishings from the front, or head department. The walls bemg all brick and the shinies having been laid in mortar, the danger of surround- ing buildings was materially lessened. There was a fierce gale from the east, and as the school buildings stood at the eastern side of the village the sparks and burning cinders were hurl- ed through the air and came down in myriads all oyer the village even down to the railway track west of the town. The wind first blew straight towards (he Methodist ehurch, which stands on the opposite side of the road, and It was for a time in imminent danger » but suddenly it veered about and blew straight upon the English church, along side, wbich threatened it with speedy destruction, again it shifted and the millions of cinders filled the atmosphere passing throng the gap between the two churches and over tlie village. Had it been a dry nie;ht iu summer the town would have been almost completely swept outof existence As it was, the drifting and blinding ileet whiqh accompanied the wind itetved to extinguish the cinders so that nQ furiiher damage was done. 1KB OBIOXN. The fire must have started between ibe entrance into the chimney in the 2nd department, which is some 10 feet above the floor, 2nd story, and the roof, from the fact that it was first seen burslmg out of the roof beside said chimney and when several per- sons had arrived there was no fire yet about any of the stoves or. floors but va bursting down through the coiling. Evidently thih was a defect- ed cbimney, and the wind through the night had fanned the smouldering fire into a flame. We understand the in- surance will cover the loss and it will be now necessary to J»ke steps to pro- cure a site â€" ^the old one being too small â€" and erect new premises. SDBLIC UEETINO. On Tuesday evening the section ratepayers met in the council chanber as p.er public notice, to consider the question of a site, and a large repre- sentation was present. Mr. Lyons was called to the chair and stated the object of the meeting, ^ter which W. A. Brown, Secretary of the. School Trustee Board, laid before tbe meet- ing a number of available sites, viz., one south of the Methodist church, one from Dr. Sproule and one in the Agricultural grounds. A general dis- cussion followed on tbe advantages and disadvantages of the various sites but all considered it premature to finally decide on a choice until turther enquiry as to price and otber necessary information was ascertained. A meet- ing will be caUed for tbe purpose of electing a trustee to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Jaa. S. Mercer, who is going to British Columbia. Tbe selection should be the best man available without regard to what part of the section, he lives in. The present board comprises one from Artemesia and one from Glenelg and three from Markdale. The term for the new man wiil be only about eight moutbs, yet it is an important period.

JoUu Watson, who was working a few rods away, hearing a cry for help, came and found him. He managed to get him home and Dr. Oldham was summoned who found tnat he had three broken ribs and several scalp wounds.
