Knufftuan received news on Friday that the private residence of lna parents, in Asherton, Northumberland Co., was entirely destroyed by Ore on Thursday forenoon, and he took the afternoon train to hasten home and render all the assistance possible in such circumstances. The building was a three story brick bouse, nearly new,and had been elegantly furnished from top to bottom. Of the goods in the upper two stories nothing couhl lie saved. The contents of the lbst story were by al most superhuman efforts gotten out of the building. Mr. Kaufftnau Sr. and family were for the time being home less and were compelled to use the hos pitality of their neighbors. It is sup posed that the fire originated trom a beating pipe on one of the upper floors. Mr. Kauffman carried insurance on the building and furniture, but is still a heavy loser.

If. G.Roveß. ) K. C. Bur MO ART , V Com. GKP. B. HilHEs, \ —There is considerable discussion as to the practicability ot taking the turn pike off the bauds of the company which controls the same at present, and change it into township roads. We ho'd that the proposition Is a good one. Townships and boroughs are surely able and willing to keep the turnpike rrotrt m aw ueoeut eotvntmn ns tnetr own roads are generally k*pt and it would naturally tie to their own and the taxpayers' interest to do the work as cheaply as possible. We fail to see a reasonable cause why turnpikes should be in the bands of a few men, who form a company for the apparent purpose of speculating with the enter prise. The public roads are for the ac cotnodation of the people and the i>eo ple we think would be fully able to manage the repairs and work on such roads. Our Smith Town correspondent has a few words to say on the subject this week. The columns of the JOUR NAL will as heretofore be open for a fair and decent discussion of the subject. LECTURE AT MILMIF.IM.—A lectuie will IK 1 delivered in the Lutheran church in Millheim, by Rev. Chas. T. Steck, of Rellefonte, on Saturday eve ning, December 3id, iss". Mr. Steck, whose fame as an orator is wide-spread, will on this occasion lecture on "Gilded Success" and it is said by those who have heard him speak on tins subject that it is equal to any of his superior discourses. The admission will be 25 arid 15 cents, and the proceeds are for the benefit of the new Lutheran church, in course of erection at Coburn. All who would enjoy a rare literary treat and who are interested in church work should come and hear the lecture. The following are a few of the many notices commenting upon Mr. Steck's lectures and will show conclusively that he is one (if the most popular speakers on the platform : "Mr. Steck's oratory is superb, and Ins lecture equal to h sdelivery."— (Jen. F. Magoun, J). 1)., Preset loxca College. 4, 11e stands pre-eminent in merit, while he captivates our hearts and makes us better men."— Rev. I). Hull, D. D., Pastor Fresh. Ch., Indiana, Pa.

HALL'S There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be fncurcble. For a pieat many years Doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies,and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires a con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cuie now on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the hlood and mucus surfaces of ttie system. They offer one hundred dol lars for any case it falls to cure. Send tor ciicular and testimonials. Addresr, F. J.

The brick work of tin* new church was oomph-ted on Tuesday last and contractor Meyjitley and Ids men left for homo. The amount of brick used in the church was Iti'.t.tKHt. Mr. Mechtley and Ids men did a neat and Hiilistanllal Job and we understand the committee were perfectly satisfied. We hope the lecture which is to be deliv ered in the Lutheran church at Millln-iin on the evening of Dec. 3rd will be well at tended as Rev. Steek comes highly recom mended and ids subject, "Gilded Success," is well spoken of. Besides,the proceeds are for a good cans**, the building of a new church, in which ail should lend a helping hand. The creek is frozen over alstve the dam, a sure reminder of winter. To-morrow, Thanksgi vilig, and a general slaughter on the turkey \\ ill Is- in order. We should all Ist very thankful for the many blessings we are daily enjoying and while we art* well and enjoy life we should reineudier there are others in this broad laud who through sickness and otherwise are actually in want, and we should eu deavor to make at least some one happy on this our thanksgiving day. Wui. Kcrstett-.-r and wife moved to George's Valley on Tuesday last. A great amount of poultry is being ship ped from tlds station to the Eastern mar kets. On Saturday last a party of railroad offi cials from Philadelphia passed over tin* road on an inspection tour ; they stopped lu-re about 15 minutes.

VALK. GREEXIIKIAR. Again that skunk of society has gotten in liic work here. A certain jierson in this neighborhood is low and incuti enough to jsist anonymous letters at telegraph jsilcs and other prominent places. The letters slander respectable jieople shamefully and connect names in a disgraceful manner. All agree that lynching would not be too much for the perpetrator of such vile ac tions. • Due of our Ninirods is in trouble. 11c thought to shoot a wild duck, but it turned out to be a tame one.

Mrs. Anna Frank, of Millheiin, has been visiting at her son's (J. H. Frank) resi deuce for the past three weeks. Mrs. Ney, of Aaronsburg, the twin sister of Mrs. Frank, is also visiting in our midst. A numlier of our folks slaughtered their porkers last week ami as many follow suit this week. The hog cholera hurries up the butchering season this year. W. F. Smith traded a five month-old colt on a dog, three weeks old. The trading was done with Millheim's young horse jockey, F. Albright. Who was quashed ? William N must have some attrac tion at the white house. And lie don't want others to la- in the dark alsmt it either, for he never returns until broad day light. . Miss Lizzie Bierly, of Madisonhurg, is assisting her sister Alice, in this place, in her work. Since nearly all our farmers are obliged to haul water from the public watering place it strikes us that tlie fence is about 6 or ff feet out over tlie line. When a man lias liU team at tlie trough for the purpose of loading water, a job which occupies from one to two hours, it is iuqiossihle for a big wagon to pass. The sujiervisors should see to this matter at once. The question whether or not we will have turnpike monopoly any longer has arisen in fin- minds of the people, and it is a ques tion which bears discussion every time. We for owe agree with our friend who started the subject in last week's JOCRNAL. Turn pikes prove a nuisance to our people here, in as much as we must pay heavy road taxes and still have to pay exliorhifaut toll when we wish to go away. Smith Town and Millheim jieople, whether they want to go to Aaronsburg or to l'cnn Hall, or to the railroad station, or to Brnshvaliey, must pay a heayy toll, and all the while have their full share of road taxes to pay. Now If the turnpike running east and west were a township road, l'cnn township could and would have it iu better condition than it is now. That is. l'cnn township would do it's share with £lO or slsexpense a year,averag ing from 5 to 10 cts. outlay for each taxpay er. And that would do away with the toll gates and give a man a chance to drive a long without having to stop every few miles to satisfy the demands of the hungry turn pike company. So much for this time. Hope to hear from others. J I'M HO. MADISON HURG. Miss Maggie Reiber, of Buffalo X Loads, Ciiion county, is si>ending the week with Miss Annie Fiedler. For some reason work on the fence around the Lutheran church has lee stopped. Miss Ellen Swartz, of Millheiin, spent last week at Mr. Henry Fiedler's. Wm. A.
