Toronto University was totally destroyed by fire last Friday night. It was probably the finest building in Canada, and for its purpose one of the best in this country. When the fire broke out preparations were being made for the annual conversazione, the great social event of the year, and guests had already begun to arrive. The flames spread with great rapidity, and the fine library was soon consumed. The mathematical instruments, and the valuable documents of Sir Daniel Wilson, president of the university, were destroyed.
