Printers are sometimes charged with making mistakes in setting up type, causing the printed matter to be very different from what the writer intended.

The fire originated in the press-room of the tailoring shop, aud evidently started from the stove therein, From the press- room it spread to a clothes room in the front of the building, werking along be- tween the walls.

The damage to the building by fire is confined to the first and seeond floors, The ground floor is flooded with water.

The members of the different fire com- panies worked well throughout, as usual. The Salvage Corps removed the stock in the shop to Farguharson’s store.

The building, which is of wood and three storys high, ig owned by the Gonnolly estate. It is but partially damaged, and is insured in the City of London, represented by John Maceachern, for $2,000. Mr. Foran’s stock is also insured in the London and Laneaghire Co., represented by Mr. Maceachern, for $%,0u9.

Mr. L. W. Watson very kindly sypplied refreshments to the firemen during the night.

After the fire the tanks were filled from the hydrants.

Mr. Foran, we understand, gave em- ployment to twenty four-hands, who will thus be thrown out of employment until he resumes business, which he proposes doing as soon as he can secure suitable quarters.

Serious Shooting Affray. Says the Moncton J'imes of yesterday :— A shooting, which will probably prove’ fatal, is reported from Metapedia. A num- ber of os Italians and Swedes, who had be® working on the Bay Chaleur road, had been paid off and were preparing to leave the place. A Swede, about 60 years of age, who had been very industri- ous, had upwards of $100 in hiz possession. Wednesday afiernoon the “Swede pulled out his money, which made quite a large] roil, and gave his son, a lad about 16, a bill with weich to purchase some articles at the store. Inthe boy’s absence it is sup- pose! an Italian, who was one of the party, and who had seen the old man’s money, attempted to rol him, but failed, and dur- ing the trouble the Swede recejved a bullet wound in the abdomen. When the ‘boy returned he found his father sitting down in the box car where the shooting had occurred and suffering great pain. He was brought ona special to Campbellton and taken to the Revere House, where Dr. Venner attended him. The bullet could not be extracted, however, and the injyred man suffered great pain. He is unable to talk English, and very little has been learned of the details of the shooting. The Italian who is supposed to have done the shooting has disappeared, and no deserip- tion of him has been given tothe police

Sirn,—With reference to the article in the | Patriot of the 20th, upon the concert of the previous evening, permit me to say that the not advertising in that journal seems to be the desire of the Patriot itself rather than that of the members of any of the committees of St. Peter's Church. On two occasions the | Patriot was requested to insert advertise- iments of entertainments in connection with our Chureh, and neither of them appeared. Yours truly, A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTER.
