FIRE AT RETREAT FARM.--Our Doloraine correspondent writes
:-The large wooden buildings comprising the homestead and brewery
at the Retreat farm, close to Deloraine, formerly occupied by the
late Mr. A. F. Rooke, were burnt to the ground on Sunday forenoon.
The farm was purchased after Mr. Rooke’s death by Mr. John Hall, of
Bishopsbourne, and Mr. Geo. Hall resides on it. The fire broke out
shortly before noon on Sunday, when all except four men and two
or three females were absent at church or elsewhere, and had more
assistance been promptly at hand, the fire could have been mastered
in a few minutes after its discovery. As it was, the dwelling-house,
brewery, and some out-buildings were destroyed, the only portion
saved being the store and malt house, in which Mr. Hall has his grain
stored, and a portion used by Messre, Dim mock and Jamieson as a
cordial manufactory; the portion used by them for a residence being
destroyed, though nearly all their furniture was saved. It was from a
chimney in the cordial factory that the fire originated. I believe the
buildings and household furniture were partly insured. The brewery
with its valuable plant, and the residence with some of Mr. Geo. Hall’s
furniture, were totally destroyed.
