on Thursday morninc a tire broke out in the base
ment of the Mouse 01 m-iu-, unci nini
manufactory. As all the entrances to the apart
ment, were found securely lucked, the origin of the
t,re was at first enveloped in mystery. Through the
exertions or Mr. McKecver, the eillcieut Superinten
dent facts were elicited winch fastened thepulltof
the a'ffair upon two desperate you up scamps, William
Curdy and Henry Davis by name. The former Is IS
years of ajte and has been an inmate of the Itefuue
for two years. The latter is HI years or a(re, aud has
been in the establishment tor three years. Both were
notoriouf, before thev were thus disposed or. as pro
fessional sneak thieves, ami were committed to the
House of Kel'uce after being: convicted of larceny in
the Court r ' 'uarter Sessions.
"The evidence neainst th5 two Culprit was so
strone that Curdy, who had been the ringleader in
the attempt to iire the bulldiiiff, has made a full con
fession. Their object was to effect an escape from
the institution durinir the confusion which they
hoped would result lroin a eonilaniation ; and in
order that they mlnht not be thrown upon the world
without funds for a start in life, enrdy a few days
uro relieved the watchman of Ills timepiece, since
recovered, from the sale of which he hoped to realize
cnouph for immediate wants. ,,,..
tin Wednesday eveniiiK ' urdy concealed himself
in the basement, Just as the workmen were about
closlHK the place. He then secured a key to one of
the doors, which he: knew he would lind in the coat
pocket of one or the men. After the basement had
been locked up he let liimsell out, by one or the wm
,iu intendiiur to ell'ect an entrance dunn' the
oviininir. This he found impossible, and uccord-
niKlV hail to postpone It until morninir. Aliout
6 o'clock, when the inmates of the lefup;e wen;
uhimr towards the wash-house, Curdy slipped
awav entered the basement, and kindled a lire in
ti.re,. nieces. He then reloc.ked the place, communi
cated the facts to Davis, and disposed of the stolen
key bv throwing It into the drain. The basement
ws lilted with hair, Mexican (truss, and wood, used
in the inanuracture of brushes, uud burned readily,

to ttie Amontan public. Its high qualities were uIbiohi

so rapidly that I lie manulaoturer with great difficulty kept

tors, ilii-clniming uny utlciupt to estaolisb new system of

to declare, without fear of succewful oontnuhction, that
they have produced a remedy against infectious, organic,
malarious, epidemic, scrofulous, or inflammatory diboaes,

t l.oroughly tested, and is always fauccessf ul. it in tho mreat
Hygienic compound, and searches out diseased lu-tlon iu

As a remedy in caces of Chnlnra it never fails, if used in

as directed. As a remedy against Cholera Morbus and

A WORD TO THK LADIES.
The use of the Zingari Bitters will give to yon that soft,
semi-transparent ucuiploxtuu which nature fully intended
thut you should have for it is nature's own powder and
paint combined. Ity purifying the blood, stimulating Ilia
pignientaty cells ot the dermis or true skin, and imparting
health and life throughout the entire system, it gives that
Biuooth oleuinesa and boauty to the completion so much to
be desired, removing all rouglmess, olotuhoa, freckles,
pimples, and that yellow, sickiy look so common in our
days; and what is even better tiiau this, it cures every spe
cies ut irregularities and disease.

THE MOST REMARKABLE CURE KNOWN TO
MEDICAL SCIENCE.
This may certify that about four years ago I waa at
tai l-ed with what seemed a very obscure affliction. 1 felt
not really sick, but continually suffered of a general un
easiness and peculiar pains in my legs. After cuftering ia
tills way tor several months, sores commenced to break
out, anil soon not lesB than lourteen uuhoalthy ulcers wera
established, and their scioiuloua character fully shown.
Fvtty one suid (including several physicians) that tine
was the worst case of Hcrofula they ever saw, aud my
chuices for recovery were regarded aa very poor. I ain
sure nothing I used did 1110 any good. I spent all the
money 1 could raise with doctor and for patent medi
cines, but was not in the least beneutcd. 1 was. about
year ago, induced to use the ZIMiAKI Bl iTrOKN, and
was ci uipletely cured by lean Hum four bottles. Any ona
who may be incredulous can see me at the Iron City
HoUl, corner of Walut and Railroad streets, Hsrnsburg,
and see the scare for themselves. I do not believe that
more wondei till cure of this monstrous disease waa ever
effected by any medicine, and I confidently boheve that
almost every case of this complaint will yield to turn
extiaordinary preparation. My general health is now
excellent, aud my appetite regulany good, i must have
