(From Our Own Correspondent.) Mr. Drosdowski's house on tlie Mountain road was completely destroyed by 'ifire at about 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Nothing was saved except a chair and table. Mr. Drosdowski was away on the farm cutting blackberries at the time and Mrs. Drosdowski was engaged in cooking the dinner. The fire was caused by a sudden gust of wind carrying the embers out of the fireplace on to the floor. The insurances amount to about £l5O on the house, while the furniture was uncovered. Mr. J. W.
