THE FIRE RECORD.

The Village of Somerset, Quebec Almost En-
tirely Destroyed.
SOMERSET, Quebec, May lS.-Somerset village
was destroyed by fire on Saturday night, about
one hundred houses being burned, including the
church, the presbytry, the foundry, and the
cheese factory. Many persons are in a destitute
condition. Only the walls of the church are left
standing The fire originated in the foundry.
The buildings being mostly OF wood, the fire
spread rapidly. There being no fire apparatus in
the village, it was impossible to fight the flames.
The convent was not burned and it will probably
be used church until new one can be built.

Thompson, and quickly communicated to the
