Fire.-Shortly after eight O'Clock on

JIM the main building of the Shepherds

alarm was at once given, The fire had
gained considerable heaQway before it was
noticed, the whole of the ventilator on
the top of the building being in flames.
ia remarkably short time the fire-cngine
was Oh the spot and put to york, and soon
had the fire sHbdued. 1t is supposed that
the fire originated in the boilcr-room, and
then burned through the cornice to the
adjoining building, and having draft
from the yentilator WAS drawn along the

whence the flames burst. The total loss

To His Honor Mayor Bogtat:
SIR:-My attention has been called to
the article. which appeared in Saturdays
CHRONICLE, regarding the grading of Main
street, you state that the said street was
not graded in accordance with the grade
established by the Council. The only
grade that am aware of was established
by the city engineer, and an examination
will prove that have complied with it in
every particular, following closely the
stakes had to work by. In regard to the
cutters, I did not make a contract with the
Council, to put any in, nor were cutters
staked out by the engineer in charge. You
will see by the contract that was to labor
under his instructions. My contract call
ed for completion by November lst, 1883,
but when took the contract the profile
did not show one-third ofthe work 1 had
to do; and taking into consideration the
weather had to contend with was under
the impression that / completed the work
substantially and faithfully.

widely heralded, opened out to good

ing. September 18th. The entertainment
which they gave is neat in every respect
and is not only highly amusing but also
a real intellectual feast. Fanny Osborne
has the easy, unassuming manners of a
charming and vivacious soubrette, while
she adds to her pleasing ways the accom-
plishment of singing, in clear, sweet and
mellow tones, the dear old melodies OF
various lands.
As mimic in foreign dialects, she has
few eqnals, and her elocutionary powers
are strong and we'll trained. She is a
woman Of rare versatility, showing an
acute dramatic conception in everything
she undertakes, from the farcial to the
tragic. Henry Osborne, careful and
painstaking comedian, assisted in rem
dering the evening most enjoyable to all
who attended. Besides the Osbornes
there are other people who take part in
side-splitting comedies with which the
entertainment closes. instrumental mu'
