Shoemaker, merchant at Buffalo Mills, this county, narrowly escaped be ing burned on out Friday last. The roof of his store room caught fire and was considerably damaged before the destructive element could be checked. Fortunately a good supply of water was on hand, a liberal application of which saved the building and contents. It i- thought the fire was caused by a defective flue. Something New.— Mr. Stutzman, .Senator from thisdistrict, has read in his p ace ami presented to the chair a bill entitled "An Act to incorporate the the Citizens' Co-operative Mutual Lift' Insurance Company of Bedford, Pa." If there l>e anything in a long name, this enterprise will be a decided suc eess. When we once have a well es tablished life insurance company 111 this place, Bedford, (like Huntingdon since the election of John Scott.) will be "relieved of its insignificance." So mote it be. DIED—In .Tunisia township, on the 21 in?:., J H.\ CoKLEV. Jr., aged 57 years, 10 months and 29 day. On Sunday afternoon, January Hist, the deceased met with an accident, which resulted in iiis death. Being weary of sitting in the house, he walked out in the direction of his fields lying along the north side of Dry Ridge. While walking leisurely along the upper side of a hill field, his feet slipped from under him, and not being able to regain himself, he slid with frightful rapidity, about 20f>feet, down the hill side, which was covered with ice aud mow, striking in his course various obstructions, with uch vio lence, as to bruise and other-wise in jure his body. He reached the foot of the hill in an unconscious state. After having partially recovered frotn the -hock, he started for his house, Which he, with great difficulty, reached. He t >ok his bed immediately, and a physician was sent for, but his injuries, which were chiefly internal, were be yond the reach of medical aid. He died on the following Tuesday, about noon. The deceased leaves a widow, four sons and four daughters, to mourn his untimely death. But they mourn not without hope. Mr. Corley was a reg ular and faithful member of the Church. The interest he always manifested in the church and the regularity with which he attended all the means of grace, betoken a sincerity, which be longs, alone to a true christian. In the presence of a vast assemblage of friends and neighbors, we committed hi- Isxiy to the ground earthtoearth, a-lies to ashes, dust to dust: looking for the general resurrection in the last day, and the life of the world to eouie ; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

DUTY OF PARENTS.— The commu nity is frequently shocked by the pro fanity falling from the lips of boys who have scarcely reached the age of accountability. A boy who swears in variably smokes. These two vices seem to be inseparable. Remove the one and you will see the other disap pear. The cause of these outcroppings of evil are, in nine cares out of ten , traceable to the carelessness or faith lessness of the parents. They do not appreciate the responsible positions they occupy. Theygive their children the greatest liberty, allowing them to remain on the streets at unreasonable hours, where these viceaarecontracted. There should be a law enacted visiting punishment upon those who so far for get their duty to their offspring as to permit them to lay a foundation for a life that will inevpably bring them to disgrace and dishonor. Aim at perfection in everything, though in most of thing- it i- unattain ed : however, they who aim at it, and persevere, will co ne much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despon dency make them give it up as unat tainable. The above is particularly applicable to the subject of health—all should do everything in their power to attain perfection, as near as possible, in that. This can be secured by a regular and c >ntinued use of the Ziugari Bitters. G. It.
