Tue South Infirmary of the Illinois Hospi- tal for the Insane was destroyed by fire at an eatly hoor on Sanday morning, 18th inst. Of the forty-five patients coufined therein, twenty were burned to death, and the remainder rescued with great difficalty. Tle building was two stories high, and was only completed laat August. There were no provisions what- ever to prevent the spread of theflames. The Legislature had been repeatedly asked for a sum of money to pre vide an efficient fire ser-

WE are pleased to learn that the good people of Pownal are making arrangements for a course «f lectures during the present winter. The first lecture of the course will be deliver- ed by the Hon. D. Ferguson on Saturday evening next, the 3lst inst., at 7 o'clock, Subject ‘‘Patriotism,”

Weare indebted to Joseph Unsworth, Esq., for a copy of the Carnival number of the Mon- treal Siar, It is an excellent production, surpassing in beauty those of last year, Among the artists who §contributed is Mr. obert Harris. His illustration of the Skating Carnival is a magnificent work of art.

seateapaliginicilin Prevuttar ScanpaL,—A peculiar scandal has leaked out in Toronto. A stingy,

though extremely wealthy property holder, kept a mistress who some time ago con- ceived the idea that it would be better if she were married. Accordingly she was taken dangerously ill, and it was feared she was dying. Under these circumstances the old man was persuaded to marry her at the bedside. In less than two days the death- bed bride was around live, hale and hearty, aud appears likely to outlive her husband by many years. -—— >

Tue meeting of Grand Division, S. of T., yesterday at Graham’s Road was perhaps the most harmonious and useful sessions held for years. Wm. McNeill Simpson, G. W. P., presided. Resolutions were adopted, which will very greatly assist in the better enforce- ment of the Canada Temperance Act at the present time, and aid in procuring prohibition in the future, Suitable reference was made to the death of Mr. John Jury, an old and honored member of the Grand Division, The public meeting was quite a success, the school- house being crowded. D. McKay, Fsq., oceu- pied the chair. Geo. Mallet, Esq., delivered the address of welcome, and the Nev. Mr. Archi- bald responded on behalf of the Grand Division. The other speakers were James Wall, Capt. Walsh, J. J. Chappell, G. W. Bentley, H. H. Pollard, James McKinnon, and A. Nelson. The singing was a pleasing part of the meeting. The delegates speak in the highest praise of the kindness and hospi- tality shown to them by the people of Gray ham’s Road.

Inkerman Notes.

As Mr. John Molyneux was felling a tree in the woods, on Tuesday, 20th inst., the tree lodged against another. In the attempt to shove it off, the stump fell on his leg and caused two brakes below the knee. As Mr. Molyneux was alone in the woods, he must have suffered considerable before assistance could be rendered.

There is considerable excitement here, caused by the finding of bear tracks. Sev- eral parties have followed in pursuit but have failed to capture the beast. They are too timid to venture into the thickets.

At a basket party held at Mr. John Craig’s, on Friday, 23rd inst., while the youths were partaking of their spread, the flue caught fire. Had it not been for the activity of George Trowsdale, in scaling the wall and watering the summits of the huild- ing, the house would have been consumed.

The temperance supper at Angus Mathe- gon’s was patronized by Enterprise Division.

Together with other amusements, Mr. Henry Williams has a toboggan slide, thirty chains long, on his farm. On moonlight nights it is frequented by several youths from a distance, and carefully run by the foreman, John Hughes.
