OUTBREAK OF FIRE.—A fire broke out at the house and shop, known as" Bell Shop in the occupation of Mr John Farrell, Commeroia.1 Street, on Saturday night about six o'clock. Within a few minutes of the receipt of the call, the firemen had the hose reel out and at work. The fire originated in the chimney, a quantity of burning soot falling down into the top bedroom, setting light to a chest of drawers. Some little delay was caused owing to the firemen not been able to get at the seat of the fire, and it was only after climbing to the top of the roof and putting the branch down the chimney that the outbreak was extinguished. The damage done was not great, and was principally due to the water thrown on the flames. Two MUSICAL EVENINGS were given in the Victoria Hall on Thursday and Friday by the talented Flood-Porter lady quartette. The programmes in- cluded instrumental solos, duets, and quartettee, the instruments used being the flute, piccolo, violin, Icello, pianoforte, and mandolin. Vocal selections, voaume dances, and recitations were also given. Nearly every item (including the recitations) was encored, and the compliment was well deserved. It would be invidions to mention one of the quartette st,the expense of the others, but special mention must be made of the artistic performances of the violinoelloist. The entertainments were of a decidedly superior and elevating character.

He was very pleased to jee so -many present, but he saw a great many who ,did not, belong to the Band of Hope or the Girls' Social Union.
