Last summer was rendered grevionsly memorable in Canada, by it ser .3 of the most dreadful conihtgrutions, which entaichr thousands of dollars of loss upon insurance, companies, brought a cruel death upon some,‘ and u long lease of misery upon many. The Ottawa and Saginaw districts are this day crowded with blackened monuments. which attest the fierceness with which the fire fiend fights. and the calamities he brings down upon his victims This Season -young as it. isâ€"has witnessed Several fires of con. Ciderable magnitude in various parts of the country, but none so devastating: or destructive us that which swept Bradford on Monday mornng last. No place in any country was ever smitten so terribly. The residents are only beginning to realize the awful nature of the sad calamity which has ‘befallen them. One half the town, and that the business portion. appears as if the destroying angel bird in fact passed over it. Naked chimney stacks. shattered walls, and smoking debris are seen in every direction ; and when standing atnid‘the ruins one is en- veloped in clouds of patched dust. reminding him of a veritable Sulutrn. The owners of {he once. fine dwellings and prosperous places of business may he seen meeting in Bmall groups and sitting down upon the fragments of the energy of years grimly mourning their sad fate. Others again gaze in wonder at the efl‘ects of the calamity and vainly endeavor tucomprelrend the ter; fible nature of the crisis through which the town is passing. Many ask the question: Was it a judgment or west it nn incident? Others again slolidly accept the situation. and try to pluck up courage to work on again. This is no ensy matter however, when the essence of life is almost crushed out of 9. man' by adverse circumstunCesâ€"by the fearful ravagesol‘ the fire fiend which knows neither friend nur foe when it once breaks out in its fury.

Stewart lives on a. farm on the 2nd concession of York tomnship; Hazel is a blackmith, who was living about a mile from Stewart’s. It appears that Stewart’s father sold or leased a shop and‘garden-p‘lot to Hazel, and told him he might get manure for the garden from the barn-yard. on the farm on which young Stewart worked. 0n the day in question, Stewart returned from the field where he had been sowing grain, and found Hazel in the barnyard loading manure on a wagon, to take it. away. When questioned by Stewart. what he was doing that for, Hazel said that his (Stewart’s) father had told him he might have it. Stewart said it. was worth $7 ; and after some angry words had passed between them, Hazel threw off his coat and wanted to fight Stewart. Ste- wart retusod to fight; whereupon Hazel seized a fork “and made at him. Stewart picked up another fork, and defended him- self. A third man, who it; appears was a witness of the whole proceeding now inter- fered, and said that there had been “enough of that sort of thing.” Stewart. says he‘ then took this opportunity to get away. and had turned round, when Hazel threw his fork at him with great force, the prongs piercing the small of his back, and bringing him to the ground. Hazel then ran towards him, but was prevented from inflicting any‘ further injury upon him by the third party. litformation was soon laid before J. P. Bull, Es_q., J.P., who issued his warrant for the arrest of Hazel, but he had escaped in the meantime, and the constables can find no clue to his whereabouts. ' Mr. Bull took Stewart's depesrtion of the facts of the ease, mm: were substantially as stated above. Stewart is in a. critical state, and the doctors have little hopes of saving his life. He is a. young man, unmarried, and said to be of a quiet, peaceable disposition. Hazel had not been long in that part of the country but had the reputation of being a quarrel- some character. There is a likelihood of a very consider- abls Mormon emigration during the ensuing Inmmet. ' VERSAILLES, May ‘24,:1fternoon.â€"Gen.

' NEW YouK, May 23.â€"â€"The Tribune’s Paris correspondent, under date of Monday, after announcing the entry of the Versailles troops atthe gates of St. Cloud, Pont de Jour, and Bellancourt, and the occupation of the encient, says:-"1\t’ nine o’clock Dombrowski, under cover of a couple of guns, charged the Cemetery des Vanarcs. He was met by a. firm and withering fire, and the insurgent lines became broken and disorganized. However, they again attemp ted to storm the cemetery and hand to hand fighting followed, butt’he report that. Drom~ browski was killed caused the insurgents. to become panic stricken, .A pause of a few hours succeeded, when suddenly the bat teries on the heighth opened on the enciente railway, and the showers of shell and the hail of musketry were poured on it. The insurgents essayed a feeble reply. Suddenly the heavy firing from the north was heard. A mad panic ensued ; arms and packs were thrown away. and all bolted, the officers lea- ding. They surged and struggled, and blasphemed up the quay in great confusion, the shot. and shell chasing them. They were in the extremity of the panic, and blazed away indiscriminately, and struck each other with their clubbed rifles. The tide of fugitives swept aiong‘. and there li‘eving‘ buteries came up with them im- parting a, fresh panic. The fire of the Versaillists reached 'l‘rocadero. The avenue between the Arc de 'l’rimnphe and ltond Point was densely packed with fugitives. 'l‘Jhe Communists showed themselves be- hind a big barricade in the Place de la Concorde, but did not fire. A Versaillist battery below the Arch swept the Champs Elysses. The Versaillists presgd on the Avenue. Friedland to an open space at the top of the Bouleyard Haussmann, thetce they would sweep the Bouleyare h'Iztleshe‘rhes to the Madeline. and open a way to the Rue Royale. At ten o’clock the Versaillists advance down the Boule- yard Hanssman, and a heavy inusketry fire was raging everywhere. The Vet'- saillists were led by gendarmes, sailors. and‘lharines. The insurgents retreated before them, firing widely and dodging behind lamp posts and doorways. One battalion burned its papers not to com promise- its members. The Communists relreatcd towa:ds ..l0ntmartre. whence they fired on theVersailtist's batteries at Trocad ero. At. 12 o’clock the. Versaillists had gained the Place de I’llurope near the Western Railway terminus, on the way to Montmartre. At. four o’clock the Com- munists were dcmorulizerl, yet working hard and erecting barricades. No general were visible.

The condition of John Bright’s health is not so satisfaqtory as it. wasafew weeks ago. DEATH mom SPONTANEOUS RUP- ‘TURE on THE HEARr.â€"~Mr. James Hughey, an old and respectable farmer ‘ on Yonge Street, was found dead in his bed on the morningr of the 18th instant, lying on his right side, with his hand partly under his face, and had apparently died without astruggle. He appeared lively and in good health on retiring on the previous evening, and the cause of death seemed so mysterious that Coroner Hillary, of Aurora, was notified to hold an inquest. A jury was summoned, and Dr. Hostettcr was requested to make a ,post mortem examination of the body, which was performcdiwith his usual ex-l ‘pertness. The following is a summ’ary‘ l of the. doctor’s evidence: The cxternai wall of the left auricle of the heart was found to be ruptured to the extent of three-quarters of an inch, which allowed the pericardium or «sack which enclosed the heart to become enormously distended with blood; the rupture and pressure must have paralized the action of the heart and produced immediate death. The “heart had undergone fatty degene- ration and the tissue could be torn as readily as ivet paper. The jury having heart the evidence, brought in a verdict that the deceased came to his death by spontaneous rupture of thevheart. The subject of this notice was born in the County of' Tyrone, Ireland, in the year 1795, and emigrated to Canada over 40 years ago,»and settled in the Towhship of King, where he died. He was a strict member of the Presbyterian church, and leaves a family of children and grand-children to mourn his sudden death. Mr. James Cook, late of the firm of Robertson & Cook, publishers of the Toronto ’Ielegraph, is about to com- mence toissue a} new evening paper in the city, to be called Tim Express. Still the day was not altogether with- out its amusements.

Among the sufferers who had or have business con- nection with our neighborhood, the Mr. B. Barnard (who has been burned out three times), Mr. Bingham, Mr. J. K. Falconbridge, Mr. W. Innis, Mr. N. Davis, and others who were formerly residents of this part. Twenty acres of ruins and somewhere near six hundred thousand doliars worth of property de- stroyed is about the extent of the calam- ity, besides the loss of time in rebuilding, and the discouraging influence of the ydestruction of" property that has taken ‘half a life-time to accumulate, which lminy'of the inhabitants have sugered. l We trust the Government and the muni- 1cipal authorities of the Counties adjoin- ing will take immediate steps to assist 1their fellow subjects who have been so severely afflicted in the town of Bradford. The next sitting of the Court will be on Thursday the 25th inst, when from the number of names to come before it a grand time is expected. The street railway has hitherto been exempt from ta’xes, on the plea of being classed as a railway, but this time I take it they will not get ofi' so easy. THE CALAMITY AT BRADFORD. The annual sitting of the Yorkville Court of Revision was held yesterday in the Town Hall. Eleven appeals against assessments were heard; ten were con- firmed, and one on income was reduced $2001 Mr. Thomas Griffith, assessed at $2,- 000 on his lots on the north corner of Prince Arthur Avenue and Avenue road, gai/e' noticé that he should appeal to the County Judge, for a revision of the de- cision of the Court confirming the origi- nal assessment. The Court then adjourned to meet again some time within the next ten days. Coxeem‘ AND TABLIHIJX-â€"The town hall of the enterprising little town or" Yorkvtlle was last evening the scene one ofthe most im- posing entertainments ever witnessed there before; The object, for which it was intend- ed was of a very worthy Clt=tt‘:LCiUl‘â€"llttlt of aiding in paying; oli’ a dch on the organ of Old St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The deni- zens oi" Yorkville attended in large numbers which were considerably sxrelled by people from this city. The old saying “variety is charming,” was thoroughly verified upon this occasion for the entertainment was of a most varied character. There were Tab, lcaux Vivants (living pictures), recitatiuns and singing. The former were prepared in a most superior manner. and ' comprised, first, “Prince Charles Edward and Flora McDonald"; second, “Irish Courtship" ; third, “ Hiawartha” 5 fourth,“ Kenilworth”; fifth, “Mary Stuart; gotng forth to execu- tion"; sixth, “Nursery Rhymes.” The scenes were novel and attractive, and were made to work with an ease and smoothness creditable to those concerned in their pre- paration. These tableaux are a. source of refined amusement in Germany and other parts of the European Continent, and we think might be more generally introduced here. The ladies and gentlemen who took part in the concert last night were Mrs. J. Beverley, llohinson, Mrs. A. Jarvis, Mr. Baitlesqu. Heron, and the Adelphi club. Mrs. Robinson, who has not yet appeared at. any of our pubic concerts for a. long; time, was enthusiastically received. She sang “Consider the lillies” with that exqui- site t'eeling and power which few of our amateurs can equal. She was rapturouslv etzcot'ed. and sang “ Kathalecn Mavourncen” Mrs. Jarvis sang uLove’s Request,” and the “Lover and the Bird,’7 in both of which she displayed a voice of much sweetness and some culture. The singin;r of Mr. Her- on and Mr. Baincs, not forgetting the Adele pei club, was very much admired and was justly applauded and cncored. Mr. J. Room Kay recited several pieces in admi- rable style, particularly Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “The Bells.” Thesinging of “God Save the Queen” brought the entertainment to a close, which will long be remembered as one reflecting the highest credit upon its" originators. We might; add that it would be well worth repeating, if not at YOl'lx'Vllle’ in the Music Hall, on some future occasion. The next meeting of the Yonge Street Sabbath School Teachers’ Association will take place on Monday, tl e 29th inst., in the Lecture room of the Wesleyan church, Richmond Hill, at 7:30 p.m.,on which occasion the Rev. James Dick has kindly consented to deliver a lecture on the “Duty of parents to their children with regard to their spiritual instruc- tion.” Subject open for discussion aster.

This man was refused a 1i- cense, a certificate not being granted by the iimpeetor it h evident tlxe\_M9diis Opt'wmiii was not known; an Xiwould have greased» the wheels toward selling XXX wonderfully. It is but right the law should be respected, but it is well known that the law is continually broken by keeping open after stated hours, also by selling on Sundays as in other ways the law is very often made null; some change is required whereby the law should be made to be more respected than it is, and it is a question in which the County Council should feel it their duty to take up, so as to prevent liquor selling on Sunday if possible. Yours, &c., LEMON.-â€"PIPHER.â€"By the Rev. 0. Fish, at the Wesleyan Parsonage, on Saturday. the 20th inst, Mr. George Lemon, of Whit- church, and Mrs. Elizabeth Pipher, 9f the ‘samAe place. The death is announced of Sir John Frederick William Hershel, son of Sir William Herschel, who discovered the planet Uranus. Si:- John was born at Slough in the year 1790, and was gratiuated at St. John’s College, Cambridge, in 1813. His fame rests chiefly on the results of his great expedition to the Cape of Good Hope, in 1834, to take observations of the south- ern heavens. He was atone time president of the Loyal Astronomical Society; and for five years, from 1850 to 1855, he was master of the Mint. In the beginning of this century the‘InA dependent body were almost unknown in Lancashix‘e, while now they possess 250 chapels,'and sitting aécommodatlou for 130,000 adherents in the county. To the Editor of the York Herald. Dear Sir: When I last hadvthe pleas- ure of addressing you, our “ Town Hall” project though in its infancy promised a rapid growth and early maturity and we all had hoped that the opening ceremon- ies would ’be held early in, October, but as the good old scotch adage has it, “ The best laid schemes 0’ mice and men gang aft aglce,” and so with the Town Hall scheme. I had almost said that. from time immemorial the churches have been a swaying power with us, and though each church has been equally and liberally patronized in their individual efl'orts, still when a jomt efi'ort is called for, and for amutually beneficial object, then the eleven foot appears; meetings were held often and numerously attended; stock lists opened and liberally subscribed to; sites discussedand almost decided upon; who should be directors canvassed, and duly decided upon in caucus; and after all this, why should we not haye a Town Hall ‘1 Aye, that’s the question. On Monday evening, the 8th 1nSt., a meeting of the shareholders was held for the purpose of electing a Beam of Dr'- rectors of the Town Hall; for which the site had not been decided upon; for which the plans were not prepared, nor was the general design agreed upon; and and not one cent of' subscribed stock paid in to the Secretary and Treasurer, pro tem, of an imaginary enterprise. The election took place in due course, when horrors! the directorate did not equally represent the several churches, and of course certain subscribers- could not entertain the idea of fostering a pro- ject, in which their church would have no control; while others, and among them some of the chief promoters, .de- cided to withdraw, disgusted with the sympathy accorded to their praiscworthy project. r The Earl of Shaftesbury has placed in the hands of the‘ British nation, through the Record office, the whole of his fine col- lection of family and historical papers. Rev. Dr._Wi1kes D.D., LL.D. last week was the recipieet of a. handsome silver, salver, on which: was $1,200 in gold, as a token of regard, by the members of Zion Church, Montreal. Some one has said that history rc- peats itself, but who would have dreamt that Thornhill would have conceived a Ginm’s Bab} , and commence proceedings not perhaps to starve it to death, but still worse to sti‘angle it in its birth; I am sure sir that you will agree with me in wishing that the people will drop the question of denomination and creed, and agree as one, to foster the new birth and furnish with‘a liberal hand that suste. nance that such projects require.
