Snow and fires across the town in January 1870
A heavy snow fall disrupted travel and prompted a rate rise in the aleighing. Three separate fires in the city on Sunday January 9 caused major damage to a stable, a cigar factory behind Willis's bakery, and a wooden shed near Mr. John Bell's Adelaide street residence. Firefighters led by Chief Ashfield contained the blazes, with losses totaling substantial sums. Churches held crowded services led by Rev. Punshon, while union prayer meetings continued. local schools, skating, and elocution classes drew interest, and local notices list arrivals, council actions, and community figures.
