On Monday evening, September 3, about 8 o'clock, the house of Johan Cox, who lives near St Augustine, took fire and burned to the groynd. As the family were all seated about the table partaking of their s::pper, little thinking that in a few minutes the whole house would be enveloped in flames, their attention was called to a small fire near the roof. Mr. Cox at once attempted to extinguish the flames, but as it had gained such head- way the struggle had to be given up. After seeing that it was useless to fight the fire any longer they all turned in and carried out what household goods they could until driven away by heat. Very little was saved. The fire is sup- posed to have originatad from a de- fective flue. The house was a besuti- ful one and had just recently ‘been ompleted, except the painting. The Cou RIER was informed that it was in- sured at a reasonable figure. iR OF NORTHE The next case called was that of the quietly seat himself.
