The bright prospect HUias every where prevailed a few Wrecks ago, in reaiveet to tb* aboodaot bat vest, has ben somewhat rudely blasted in this section of the Province bj the destruction of the spring grains. At the moment when our farmers- were congratulating themselves upon the abundant yiefiJ and fine quality of the spring wheat that 'was Bott redd? to be gathered into their barns, a series of heavy rain* {toured down upon the fields and effected immense damage by ' causing it to sprout and rot. Tbe effect may now "be witnessed in the doleful cottnteamnces which are so frequently met with. From wb*t information e can gather, how- tver, we are disposed to believe tfeak^the damage is not nearly so bad as was at first reported. Fields of wheat that were a few days ago said to be utterly ruined, are now found on examination to be in a lunch better condition than was supposed. Tb! will Terr- probably turn out to be the case in nearly every instance. VT&h the exception of peas, all other cfoiis hare bean harvested in Fplendjtd condition and in magnificent quantities, while tbe prospects for roots and fruit* are bo far very satisfactory. So) that upon the whole, we have no -- cause to .despair of Hie result of the season's labors. Prices are likely to be quite remunerative, though probably- not so high as during the past few months. Ihere is no" doubt, however, that throughout the Dominion generally, -the yield will be verj much supenbr to that of several years past, thus affording tbe gratifying prospect at least of greatly increased circula tion of money, and a proportionate expansion of commercial traffic.

Oats, barley, and peas are a bountiful yield, and are of excellent samples every where. In some sections the spring wheat is as good us could be desired, while in others it is somewhat injured by rust and nudge. In the northern towobhips, a8 a general thing, there will be a full average yield of spring whoat, as the rust has not done any injury, but in the southern township* a number of fields have been badly smitten, and, as a con sequence, tbo general yield will be some what 'below the average. But, taking all sections and all crops into account, there has been a splendid yield, the like of which Huron has not had for jean.

At 1.20 this p. m. the towa belt sounded the dread alarm for fire. Smoke was seen issuing (from the front cellar window on Wyndbam street, and a large crowd rapid ly assembled. The hose was laid inside of sevenminutts, and it was 14 minute, before water was got. Two streams were thrown. The street watering aparatus was used until the fire protection aparatus was got into working order, sad would nave done excellent service if long er hose had been available. Mr. Horaman says that tbe first intimation he had of the catastro phe, was a whirring noise. He ran to the cellar door, found there was a fire. When he opened the hatch a sugar loaf column of flame burst forth. He ran to tba door, and returned almost immediately. The fire had made snch progress that he escaped from the store with difficulty. The stock iu valued at (45.000, and was insured, in English companies principally, for $29,000. The fire rapidly gained ground, and soon tbe second story, and, in a very short time, tbe third also, were in a mass of flames.
