The next building to fall a prey to the flames wasa two-story dwelling bolong- ing to Mrs.E.Tardif, and occupied by Momsrs.C.Alsin and Philippe Plourde.This was also completely destroyed, Mrs.Tardif does not live in Levis, but is said to be insured.The temants, Alsin sud Plourde, bad no insarsuce.Most of their effects, however, were saved by the neighbors.FIREMEN WORKED WELL.The fire attacked the hangard of Mr.Dion, but the Levis Fire Brigade, which worked well, despite many drawbacks, succeeded in checking it at that point.The loss to Me.Dion will be about $100.A house belonging to Mrs.Plante, just east of where the fire ofiginated, was damaged to a considerable exteut.Mr.P.Sirois, an Intercolonial Railway bag- gageman, the occupant of this building, succeeded in saving his furniture.How the fire originated is not known.A man workingin Mr.Thiboutot's forge left the building to procure a plsneand, though only absent about five minutes, on his return found the whole placein flames.THE FIRE LOSSES.Mr.Thiboutot's loss includes his resi- deuce, carriage factory, blacksmith forge aod sheds, four buildings in all, besides some twenty-five vehicles of diffrent kinds, and 967 in cash.He estimates his loss at between $12,000 and $13,000.He had an insurance of $3,500, but was nut sure if the policy was still in force.Tt is estimated by competent judges that $15,000 will cover the whole loss.The people of Levis rendered effective aid to the firemen iu fighting the flames, and gave valuable assistance to their unfortunate neighbors in the removal of their effects from the burning buildings.Some people complained of the delay that occurred before water was thrown upon the fire.It should not be furyotten, howover, that the engiue had tu come a considerable distance and that the cistern at which it worked was a long way from the fire.A second engine was brought from Point Levi and p on Fraser street, but its services ete not required.Mayor Roy arrived early on the scene and remained until all danger was past.\u2014alnut four o'clock.Several Roman Catholic clergymen were also present and assisted the people in many ways.Piremen Improving- The public

most remarkable instances yet afforded in Quebec of the success of well directed colonization efforts is shown by the Quebec and Lake St.John Railway, in a report which it has just made to the Government.The report shows that from the 1st January to the 16th September, 1808, no less than 173 delegates from various parts of Canada and the United States were taken free by the Railway Company to examine the fine agricultural lands it.the neighborhood of Lake St.John.These delegates came from 54 parishes and 23 countries and states, and no fewer than 1,029 new settlers have taken up lands in the vicinity of the Lake during the present year.As many as 259 other settlers, mostly heads of families, have visited the dis trict with the intention of settling there in the near future, and six large icultoral excursions have been run to the lake dur- ingthe summer.Siz hundred of the new settlers are repatriated French-Canadians, who are tired of life in the United States, \u2018and are glad of the opportunity of settling down again upon their native soil.The entire population of the parish of Acadia, in Maine, speaks of removing en bloc to Lake St.John and taking up the lands in the new parish of Honfleur, on the bank of the Peribonca River.The parish priest and the Mayor of Acadia are at the head of tho movement.Preparations are being made by the Railway Company t> remove these

officals, while the Honorable Messrs.Marchand and Dechene were also present.There wers over one hundred persous in attendance, and at times the bidding was lively, thoughatotherssomewhatulow.Inall about half the limits offered for sale were disposed of, the remainder being withdrawn, as the upeet price was not reached.However, these prices were higher than ever before.UPSET PRICES.The lowest upset price was $25, but in the majority of instances it was $60 and 875.Still there were others of $100, $150, $200, $225, and even one of $300 per mile, but few of them were realized.These high prices were mostly asked for limits on the Ottawa River, though the last men- tionod and largest was for the Mistassini River and Sheldrake No.1, 32$ miles, in the Saguenay district.It was not reached.The best bidding was in the case of Lot No.4, of 12 miles, in Duquesne Township, west Rimouaki, which started at $30 per mile and reached $140, Messrs.Price Brosand Adam being the rival bidders.In all about $125, was realized by the sale, of which H.A, Melville contributes $50,000 for limits inthe St.Maurice Agency.DETAILS OF THE SALE.The official designation of the lots sold, with
