MONTREAL, Sept. 12.-From Upton vii
lage it is learned fires continue with un-
abated vlgor in those sections of country in
which the soil is of peat bog description,
and only requires stiff breeze to make
fresh mischief, if not disaster and death.
The drought is very marked and people who
have good wells are compelled to go, in some
instances, twelve miles to get water for
their cattle. Several additional houses in st.
Simon and on the Little st. Helene
road have been. burned recently, some
thirteen or fourteen in the former
and seventeen in the latter section. No one
has been seen or heard of from Wilson's
mills, except one man who says he left on
Monday and has not been. back since. From
st. Velaren the list of losses is large. Pas
sengers by the Grand Trunk railroad this
morning say that the fire at st. Losberre
station, had approached very nearly to the
railway track and caused extreme caution to
be used by railway officials. The measures
for relief, though hardly commenced, will
be seconded by the people with hearty gen.
erosity. and already st. Hyacinthe has come
forward literally.
