THE SAGUENAY FIRE.-The official re-
port Of the recent extensive confagration
along the Saguenay, in Canada, states that
$50 families were left homeless and entirely
destitute, and that LAG other families had
lost houses and other buildings. The
Commissioners appointed to examine into
the facts report that the newspaper &C
counts fell short Of the reality. Animals,
houses, fences, growing crops, forests, had
wholly disappeared from the "burt dis
trict." Seven persons were burned to
death, and large number were seriously
injured. The survivors only escaped death
by hiding themselves in wells, cellars and
deep holes in the earth, Oh by taking refuge
in boats and pushing out into the streams.
The burnt district commenced at the River
Mistassini, at the head of Lake St. John,
and extended to Ha-Ha bay, a distance of
seventy-five miles. In the parish of st.
Jerome, ON road built up with farm
houses fer distance of nine miles, nothing
was left standing but two of them.
