The friends of the Rev. Mr. Smith, of the Baptist church, assembled at the residence of Mr. Goodwillie, on Tuesday evening, and presented the rev’d gentleman with a purse containing a handsome sum of money. Our popular young friend is about leaving town to finish his studies, and we hope to learn of his return at an early day.

On Saturday afternoon about five o’clock, Mr. Lock’s hotel was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was given, and the firemen were promptly on the ground, and after working vigorously for twenty minutes, succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The building was considerably damaged, and the furniture must have been more or less injured by hasty removal. The building and contents were partially insured. Had it not been for the promptitude of the fire company and the excellent working of the engine and hose, the hotel could not have been saved.
Fire: 16 August 1875
