Mr.. G. A. Robertson, Principal of the Grammar
school in this city, has been called to most Sc
we're and painful affection in the loss Of his darling
little daughter, Edith May, who died yesterday OF
scarlet fever. All that medical science and the
most assiduous cure could suggest, was done for
the little one, without avail. She was a bright
and beautiful child the idol Of her parents. being
an only child, and the pet Of the neighborhood.
She has been taken away at an age when emerging
from babyhood into the sweet and playful ways of
advancing childhood, made her interesting and
lovely, and caused the love of parents and friends
to 60 out to the little prattler in large measure
We know how poor is human sympathy in such
An hour; the balm for the aching heart must come
from above, whittier the little one has departed
Before the storms of life came, before any of its
bitter anxetes were felt, or sorrows experienced
the little one has found the harbor of eternal rest
"Safe 10 the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast"
The loss is not to her, but to the weeping ones
who linger, and to these the Burden-Bearer comes
with His tender ministrations, and gentle, loving
Offices.

mishap in the loss of one of their valuable dams

great expense for the purpose of flowing water at
the proper seasons, to enable the company to float
their logs out of the stream and raft them to their
mills. After the recent heavy rains the dam had
its first severe test, and yielded The consequence
is that the company will be unable this season to

Fire at the Mansion House.

An alarm of fire was raised yesterday afternoon
at about quarter to three o'clock, and it was soon
found that the Mansion House was on fire.
Smoke was first detected coming from the attic
story of the ell and nearly filling the halls
Of the upper stories. 1t also issued from
around the outside of the kitchen chimney in the
ell. The help and others at the house, went for
buckets of water and worked with will a tank
of water was in one of the rooms near where the
fire was smoulderng, and from this water was
drawn and thrown on to the heated chimney, after
the scorched partition had been taken away. 1t
was also carried to the roof, which was we'll wet
down to keep the fire from bursting out. The
chimney was heated intensely, setting fire to the
wood work which surrounded it, burning through,
and being about ready to burst out when it was
suppressed. The fire was caused by lot Of old
cotton rags or pieces of garments that were found
in the 1nd story lying up closely to the Chin
ney. A smouldering fire had been there for some
time, as the rags were partially burned. How
they came there is a mystery, and how long they
had been in that dangerous place is not known.
1t was fortunate indeed that the fire suppress
ed after doing but little damage, for the wind was
blowing br iskly, and had the fire got under way,
most disastrous consequences would have ensued
perhaps the whole square swept. The engine
companies acted with their usual promptness and
energy, but their services were not required
