Burning of Inverary Castle.

The Scotch correspondent of the To-
ronto Globe thus describes the destruc-
ton of this famous old castle:
The famous family-seat of the Duke of
Argyle, at Inverary, was severely dam
aged by fire which broke out yester-
day morning. The Princess Louise and
her husband, Lord Lorne, as well as the
Duke and Duchess of Argyle, and other
members of the family, were sleeping in
the house at the time. AS usual, in a
nobleman's home, the means to subdue
a fire when once it has broken out, were
Ineffective, and for long time the water
supply was miserably insufficient. Head
ed by the Duke and Lord Lorne, every
body worked with a will at passing the
buckets, filled at a neighboring stream,
and soon all the tenantry and tow MS
people were on the spot to help. The
accounts differ as to how the fire was
first discovered. According to one re-
port, a fisherman, going to the harbor,
saw the flames burst out of the top of
the great central tower, and at once
gave an alarm, and in very short time
all the members of the family, includ-
ing the Princess Louise, were aroused
and made their escape in safety to the
Argyle Hotel, in Invera,y. By this
time large number of the townspeOple
had arrived in the park, and with the
servants were busily at work in remov-
ing the more valuable effects and extin-
gushing the flames. Owing to the fact
that the main walls, galleries and stair
cases were stone the confagration was
limited to one part of the building, and
some of the principal rooms were saved.
Still the damage done is very great,
and many articles of great historical
value were destroyed. Among these l
may mention two hundred flint
lock muskets used at Culloden by
the Argylshire Fencibles, and the well
worn colors of the Ninth Higlanders,
which were handed over to the Duke
two years ago, with several precious
heir-looms, have perished. The towns
people were most active in their exer-
tions, and as soon as the worst was over
the Duke and Duchess called upon sew
eral of the most prominent inhabitants
of the town and personally thanked
them for their aid. They afterwards
addressed letter to the Provost, thank
ing 'all the people of Inverary'' for
their exertiOns. None of the family
have suffered much from the shock, nor
have any of the domestics in the castle
received any injury. Her Majesty the
Queen and a large number of friends
made inquiries during Friday. The
castle, believe, is insured, but need
hardly say that no sum could replace
the many articles of family and his
torical interest which have been de-
stroyed.
