WAVERLEY.

(From Our Own Correspondent..) A GOOD SAVE. Residents' of Waverley were alarmed on Saturday morning during the early hours by the ringing of the fire bell. One of the residents on passing the timber mill noticed flames close to the engine-house and gave the alarm. The local brigade was soon on the scene, and its prompt action certainly saved what- might have been a very serious fire, as had the wind sprung up nothing could possibly have saved the mill, wlTere a large quantitv of timber was stored. The mill is owned by Mr. T. W Wall, who was very (ortunate in haling so small a loss. BOWLING.
