FIRE AT CENTRE HALL.—On Mon day forenoon tbe news were brought to this office of a large fire which occurred at Centre Hall at about one o'clock Sunday night. When the town was awak ened from its slumbers the inhabitants found the two stables, of Mrs. Neff and Wm. Wolf,in the rear cf the Luth eran church on Church street in a fierce blaze. By a back cornice which pro jected over one of the burning stiibles, the church also soon became a victim of the fire, which it was impossible to control and which destroyed the entire structure. Nothing could be saved ex cept the organ aud a few pieces[of loose furniture. In one of the stables Mr. Sando had two cows, a calf and eleven hogs, all of which perished in the flames. Also several buggies and spring wagons were burned. The entire loss occasioned by thd fire is estimated at SBOOO. The church carries an insur ance of s33ooin the Centre Hall company Mr.Wolt's stable, S2OOO. The supposi tion is that the fire was the work of in cendiarism. The only thing that sav ed the town from a laige conflagra tion was the still and foggy night. —On Saturday, Oct, 25th, 18S4, at two o'clock, p. m., the valuable farm in Penn township, of Daniel Kreamer, dfceased, will be offered at public sale by the executor of the estate, Jas.

A good article draws trade while worthless ar ticles drive it away. It should be a source of satisfaction to a dealer as well, to know he is giving good honest yalue for money received. Money re funded to dissatisfied purchasers. JOHNSTON, HOLLOW AY & CO., Philadelphia Agents. Sold by J. Eisenhuth, Millheim, Pa. —Satchels for Salt River excursions will soon be in demand. Letter from Ellsworth, Kansas. EDITOR JOURNAL : Since 1 atn in Kansas, which is now about two months I have been a constant reader of your most welcome paper. It arrives her regularly every Sunday evening with the f o'clock Ex- I press. I write more particularly to com ment on a local which appeared in a recent issue of the JOURNAL. It Rceins a certai*: young man from Centre Co. who is at present staying in Ellsworth lias written to some one living in your town that T did not like Kansas, could not get anything to do and would start fur the east in a few weeks. Now Mr Editar that same young man made n great mistake in using my name in con nection with his case. I am positive at this writing that he was describing his case exactly and in a mistake got my name mixed with it. I will just say this in connection with what I have written to relatives and friends in the east, that I think a great deal of Kan sas (generally speaking) and every day adds to my desire for staying, i will acknowledge that 1 have u longing s >me times to be with those who are near and dear to me, and who would not rather be w itli bis family than a mong st ran vers. If 1 had my family with me, I think I would be perfectly happy and contented, m my new quar ters for several years at least. As to getting a job (using the correspondents own language) I could have had a job immediately upon my arrival in Ells worth but I did not ask for a job at once and would not have accepted any. Going to work so soon would have de prived me of many enjoymeuts which I have bad. I spent part of one month in riding over some of the finest coun try I ever saw and driving one of the finest span of ponies (acknowledged to be such by competent judges) in Ells worth orLiucoln couuties. My brother was always very anxious to have me accompany hira,to do the driving when he went to fill his different appoint ments. These sacred drives of course came every Sunday and always not less than twenty from home. On several occasions we had hardly made the round trip, when a message was brought to the parsonage to return at once to the place we just left and at tend a funeral or solemnize a marriage. 1 was generaly invited to go along but did not always accept. I got tired rid ing over the country and especially the same road so often. I can tell you Mr. Editor,l would not be a preacher here in this western country. While I am here I find my brother works harder in the ministry than he ever did in the east. Although the workis hard never* thelessit is encouraging toseehow anx iousthe people are to have the Gospel preached to them. Imagine for one moment a school house 16 feet wide by 24 feet long standing out on the open prairie, a bright moonlight Summer night, corn, wheat aud other grain standing in shock and stalk close H round the building. See, there comes a two horse wagon ladeu with people ! They stop right here at this little school bouse, they get off, yes, there comes an other, aud another and so they contin to come until I counted 21 two horse wagons tied up around this little school house. How do you suppose Mr. Edi tor, we got all these people with many others who came there on foot, into this little school house ? Well they did not all get in, but we filled her chuck full; they crowded right around the little preacher, the balance hung around the windows, and took every possible way to get an ear in hearing distance. I can tell you it was a curios osity for me, I enjoyed it all the same. You will probably ask was this the first meeting with these people. No sir, a bout the olst and the audie nee grows larger every meeting. This is one part of church service on the western front ier, and I must say I like it about as well as any. Three sermons every Sun day, hard work,but the people are kind and never let the preacher go home empty. I declare I lost my subject. Well I got a job. Started in on the first of last month. Have a nice, clean and pleasant position and am receiv ing good wages. I am running a confec tionery, oyster and Ice cream parlor for Mr. B. A. Foster whose advertisement no doubt you have seen in the Ells worth papers that have been sent to you in the past. lie has given me entire control of the business, while he gives his attention to his grocery (The Bee Hive) located in another part of the city. I merely mention these facts to show you aud your readers, that your youthful correspondent made a mistake when hesaid I could not get a job. Well as to ray starting for the "east in a few weeks" from the tims he wrote, I think will hardly take place. I have 6et no time for returning home but w ill stay a few months longer at least. Will weary you no longer, this is my first attempt in writing for the press,if you think it worthy publish it, you may hear from roe again in the future. Respectfully Yours C. G. BRIGHT.

As has always been the rule, the forwarding of a stamp to (J. K. Lord, Baltimore, is all that is necessary to secure a copy, and in fact the only way, as the Red Book issues are all for mail circulation. The present volume is replete with political statistics and condensed data, not on ly as the latest Presidential, State and Congressional elections in this State, but relating as well to elections since admission into the Uiion. It would be difficult to imagine a more complete showing of past results in the State, or a more neatly put together aud printed little book. Madisonburg Scraps.
