ANOTHER EXTENSIVE FIRE IN ELMIRA — About half past one o'clock Friday morn ing, a fire broke out in the Elmira Steam Mill, occupied and owned by Win. Hallidny AC. The.c \i a-, a strong odor of smoke long before the fire was discovered, so much J so, that persons passing along Baldwin street were attracted by it and endeavored to find its cause. Those first on the spot found the whole interior of the lower story in a slow, mouldering flame, which seemed to proceed from the engine room . The fire was confin- I ed to the building itself, with the exception J of the sheds and store house, occupied by V. B. Read, the former being used by Hon. John I. Nicks for storing tobacco. The Rathbun House property, and A. M. Dewitt's Grocery store and building adjoin ing. wore greatly endangered, but were "sav ed from scarcely a scratch, by the gallant J and persistent efforts of the firemen. HallidayA Co. estimate their loss at about I $20,000 on the building and machinery, and 1 $20,000 on stock, or thereabouts. They were j insured $12,000 on building, and 317.000 on \ stock, as near as could be ascertained this j morning. feaY' N. 0.

TOFF' Two burglars entered the store of Sterling A Looinis, at Meshoppen, on Sunday evening, the 27th ult., by prying off the fusteniugs of the door. They took from the several drawers and show cases, from one to two hundred dollars in money — mostly in postal currency : and some smalhartieles such as knives, neckties Ac. Two suspicious looking characters had been seen around the town the day before. They j were traced to Wilkes Barre by S. H. Jen kins, our County detective and chief of po lice, where they were arrested a day or two j since. A small amount of the money was I found upon ihern, also some of the articles j stolen, which were readily identified by Mr. | Loomis one of the firm. Skeleton keys, safety fuse—articles burg- J lars sometimes use— were also found on j them. They gave their names as James I Brown and Henry Allison—probably fictic ious ones. As they were very noncommu- j nicative, but little could be learned of their j antecedents or lormer residences. They j were bro't to this place on Monday last and , are how lodged in jail to await their trial at ; the April session. — Tinkhnnvock Ikm. ALMOST AN ACCIDENT. — As T. S. J Walker, on Saturday last, was cleaning out the gutters at the eaves of the new Metho dist Church, a large body of snow on the j ronf suddenly came down and came near ■ carrying Mr. Walk J r with it to the ground, J a distance of some forty feet. He caught j by the gutter with his hands and there ' hung suspended till a rope was let down ' from above and the plucky fellow hauled ! up. Thahleus did not seem more gratified j at the fortunate termination of the accident I than the many spectators who watched his danger in the most painful suspense. Wa veriy Advocate. EDITORIAL PUFFING. —The system of puffing has grown to such an extent that it has become offensive to all sensible people. When the people find the editorial columns I of a newspaper full of pufl's, they may safe- I ly calculate that the paper is weak in circu- j lation and in pocket. If business men da- | sire to make known to tbe public that tliey j have goods for sale let them advertise them in a proper wax - . But this editorial puffing is an imposition upon the public.—Boston J Herald.

Yielded at last to ths wishes of friends. Time and again has the following proposition been made; but never exposed until the present. FIVE YEARS A.V USREVEALED SE CRET! NERVE YOURSELF FOR THKLSHOCS 1 First proposition to be made public : FRIEND NELSON -.—-First, I would say, ac cording to the best calculations, iu the! Bore ugh ot Towauda, there is sold yearly one hundred thousand dollars worth of Boots and Shoes, mostly slop work of 'the most inferior kind, and the people generally are sick of jit. And now 1 say to yonr again, as I have before, en j large your Store make it neat and commodious, and keep a good stock ol Boots and Shoes, and ; you shall be sustained. Most of the people be- I gin to feel a little above buying their boots and, , shoes at Dry Goods Stores ; it looks verdant j and outlandish. *e do not ask to make your ! goods if it is not convenient. The facilities in I some other localities, where a better choice of i sto i k ami workmen can be had, may be still bet ter And you have always been in the business j and better understand this one point and im ' portaat branch of the Merchant's art, than I those that deal in Silks and Muslins, and they, 1 j believe, would be glad to let this business go J where it belongs ; that they have done it hereto i fore to accomodate the .people ; I do believe if ! you would open a firs;-class Shoe Store the j people would not'go to Dry Goods Stores to buy ! Shoes .any more than they would to Drug Stores I for Oats. ! Stop, stop,' what areiyou talking about ? has not any one the right, to sell what he pleases? It may be, bnnot in jnstice is it right in so large a place as this, where practical men are engaged wholly in this business. It has been given up in every other place, and according to custom it will be here. Two thousaud live hundred propositions made from customers, is, to bring more oi the | same hind ol Bouts and Shoes you brought with I yor. when yon came in town seven years ago. I j have neve seen a good Shoe before nor since, is the language o! them all at the same time, liaise thy ieet gently And thiuk it so queer That the Boots I sold then Should wear them a year. 1 now yield to the above propositions, and have promised to sell Twenty-five Thousand Dollars worth of his Boots and Shoes if he would make them as good as those I brought here seven years ago. aud the answer is I will! I will 1 Well friends, your proposition made And I've consented to the trade, j So I will sell you Shoes both strong and neat, To please the "taste and suit the feet. j 1 have Ladies." Misses', Boys" and Mens',} | From fancy down to coarse brogaus, Come one and ail, do as you agree, And buy your Boots and Shoes of me. Come ! Come ! 1 say, where you can find Boots exactly to y rur mind ; A d ii yon was uever here before. You'll find it is the very Store. Come Ladies, Gents, I have goods for all. Buy your goods ol me this Fall, And when Spring comes I will the cry.l " At L. C. NELSON'S I will buy!"
