Friend MaOa Thursday night last oc
curred one of the most terrific fires that ever
happened in this city. The large and com
modious freighfc car ehop belonging the Pa.
R. R. Co. a building erected in the form of
an L, one wing being about 600 feet and the
ether about 400 feet long by some 75 or 80
feet wide was set on fire by some fiend in
human shape, between the hours of ll and
12 o'clock on the night in question, aDd with
its conteuts was totally destroyed. At the
time of the fire there were in the shop twelve
or fifteen new cars, worth son.e eight hun
dred or a thousand dollars each, besides seven
other cars laden with merchandise, bacon,
lard, leather, coal and sand. These cart"
and all thtrv contained. tnnrr.f,r miih
lumber, tools and machinery contained in
the building, were also consumed, whilesev
eral buildings adjaceut, belonging to other
parties, were moro or lesa ininr TI.e
Compauy'a loss is estimated t Sinn nnn
They haveofiVred a reward of $1,000 for the
arrest ot the miscreant who communicated
the fire, and the city authorities have offered
an additional reward of 500 for the arrest
aurt couvictiou of any one guilty of incendi-
oiioiu wiuiin me corporate limits. As u
usual on such occasions here, there was con
siderable pilfering and stealing going on in
ukuci pana oi. tne city wniie tne tire was
one iaay .osi a valuable eewing
machine, and Feveral others who hud not ta-
.i..t. L I.J I . a ..
aen tbe precaution to secure their doors
found themselves minus bams, bread, butter
and other articles on the following morning.
Tha fire department, as usual, were prompt
ly on the scene, aud worked with a will and
determination worthy of all praise. The
citizens in the vicinity of the conflagration
are iu a great measure indebted to the brave
and gallant firemen for the preservation of
their properties.
On Thursday evening soma one of the
light-fingTed gentry effected an entrance by
the back way hit . the sewiog room of Mrs.
M'Ciellan, but finding thero was little, of
value excepting portions of a dress pattern
lying around loose, he confiscated it and a
considerable quantity of dress trimmings,
besides a small sum of money which he found
in a drawer, andthon made his exit by the
way he had enterd.
Tbe last "Aitoona Vindicator," by wy of
mu.-eineut, no doubt, pitches into the City
Council with a perfect looseness, for not being
us Democratic as he could desire. I think the
editor is presuming too fur on the gullibility of
nis reiuers a lie imagines lor a moment that
tbe tloic he gave them last'weck will be swal
lowed as good Democratic doctrine. It i3 true
the majority ot the Council are L'tmocrats, but
they are none the less men of integrity and in
dependence who know their rights and their
iluties, and dare maintain the one :i:id perform
the otber without fear, favor or afleciioa. When
aworn into office they were to know nt.- p-rtv or
sect, cr do aught else incompatible with the
best interests of the entire city. 1 heir first J
duty was to elect a Solicitor, aud for this poi j
lion two legal gentlemen were riatnrd. Oue of j
the e was known to the majority of Council
as a man of enlarged views and great legal
abilities. The oilier ra iy be his peer in all re
spects, but he was not so well known. - Conse
quently the one that wrs knowu to he corupe
tent was chosen to lid the position. And that
this was iij;ht even the "Vindicator" inau
should be wilting to admit, as his own c;ts will
illu.-t.-atc. lie has a suit in Court, aud has
the right to select au attorney to plead his
cause. Which would Le employ, one known
to be competent, or one of whom nothing was
known? The City Solicitor is not a party
man, so far as I know, lie has not identified
himselt with any party, and few men possess a
better lcs;al record or more gentlemauly attri
bufes. That tho present incumbent ia a demo
crat and a gentleman is beyond question, but
that is no reason why the "Vindicator'' man
should lash hinnelf intu a fury over the fact
that the Couucil has saw fit to stop the pay of
an incompetent officii 1. Nor does it argue very
much lor his intelligence when he says that
some of the "best mindi" iu the city doubt that
the Council has the power to stop the pay of
of an oilicer. Any man with common sense
who has ever read the charter cannot for a mo
tueut doubt that Council possesses that very
power, liut the "Vindicator," with streaming
eyes and accents wild, exclaims that the city
is in tbe hands of the Philistines or Republf
cur.s. Rather a left-handed compliment to his
Honor the Mayor, who has general supervision
over all our municipal aflYira. The Council,
being the first elected under the city chart er,
had much to coutend with', but I thii:k they
have done a great deal towaros bringing ordtr
out of chaos. It is possible, however, th.it they
have not nor could not do on vhing that would
meet the approbation of the 'Vindicator" mn.
I could nevarihcle, if the oc vision required it,
show much good that the present Council has
accomplished, and if future Councils pursue the
same commendablo course tho progress aud
prosperity of our new city will be ensured.
Tbe inueudoes of the "Vindicator" contain
other flings which I thall pais by for .he pre
sert. It certainly afford me no pleasure to
lind lnult iu ny way with the Democratic or
gan of the ciiy, aud I trust shall never have
occasiou to do so agaiu.
Quite a ecnaatloii was created among the
loilists" here by a communication in the Phil
adc'.uhia Sunday Mercury over the non de plume
of "Allen." Oh! Lord, "but it did cause a rat
tling ainrmg the dry bones. Bowie knives aud
pistols were greatly in vogue with those who
were hurt. The "culled aemineu" who bad
their names associated with the white traeh
were not a little indignant at the insult.

" ' BI PETBPIIUM T. HiSBT.JS. :
Mister UJitur I he been a read in' ov
lecktshures made by sientifik men on Pri
meval Flora and- fanna, and on Primeval
Kemisiry, but tbe subjeckt of primeval poli
ticks remains ontonched yet. So I guess I
had orto touch that ere sul'jckt jest a leetle.
Sientifik men prove that the world onto
which we live u a hundred thousand years
old. They prove this by the compound eye
in the irilnAUe, an animal found deown onto
tho pala-ozaic formashun. That ere animal
was made tew see. for it has eyes ; therefor
ther must ov bin light. It's a-water animal;
therefor ther must ov bin clear water. It's
a hundred thousand years old ; therefor ther
mast ov bin water and light a hundred thou
sand years ago. , .
Now we drop the Jilosofy and take up the
politicks. Tho wcrd iriboite means three
fold, so that this animal no dont was a. paster
! and jAder. hit so, we can trace pasters and
I folders back onto the eekond geological for
mashun. This ez the first instance on rekord
ov pasters and -folders, but the remains is
very noomems. '
The uext instance ot paster and folder ez
found onto the beaver, which Las a fiat ta!e
maid on ptirpos to paste and to fold. - They
wcr noomerus tew, and" built many dams,
for which reason it ez rekoned that they wer
a crewel wicked rase. Both - these speches
ia now extinckt, except tbe beaver, but an
other speches has sprung up at Ilarrisburg
that ar akin to the old tribolite, which ez
misteriously prooved. Etaminin' ov ther
eyes, they are found tew.be made fur light,
and tho' not a water animal, 3'et examinin'
ov the retina ov ther eyes it i found that
greenbacks ez disticetly reflected. They ar
noomerus tew, and breed fast, like the old
tribolile. Whether this speches breeds in
Landiies old mill-dam, on Paxton creek, ez
a good questshun for antiquarians. Our Le
gislature shood investigate th matter, as
they seem to breed very noomerusly. No
doubt thousands ev years alter this sura ge
ologist will dig up the orgauic remains ov
these; pesky critters, aud spekulate onto ther
origin. Ef ther eyes ar as good as the eye
ov the pala-czoic tribolile no dout the green
back will still be visible onto ther eyes. Gen.
Grant, not bein' a sientifik min, is mvm on
this subjekt, but ho thinks with Gov. Geary

Dear Freeman Local news is still scarce
The weather has been warm and mild up to
the 2 4 tli inst. Tbe snow is pretty well gone
and the streams are all open.
Parke's new Opera Uouse has received the
finishing touches, and is now a model if ele.
ganco and comfoit. It is very commodious
aud is other w iso admirably adapted to the
purpose for which it has been fitted up. it
will be occupied for a brief period, commen
cing on Monday night next, by a theatrical
troupe from Pittsburgh.
The Cambria Iron Company is about
changing its title to the Cambria Iron, Coal
6nd Steel Company. There will be an in
crease of capital stock some say to 6ix mil
lions of dollars. More territory will be
bought up, and tho "machine" will no
doubt be run strong.
Tho weather has been so favorable that
stone masons are busily engaged in putting
up the foundations of houses, and many new
buildings are progressing." Painters are en
gaged on outside work, and carpenters are
framing- tenements. There certainly will
be a cold spell yet, and will likely be early
in February.
.The spring elections will soon bs at hand,
but little interest is now taken in local elec
tions.
There have teen several exhibitions and
musical entertainments in the Union Hall
and other places, but not of an extraordina
ry character.
The- chicken pox are prevailing in some
localities otherwise the general health is
good. The soft weather may occasion sick
ness. There will be an eclipse on the evening
of the 27th inst. If the weather ehould be
clear, the moon will be seen partially ob
scured, commencing at about 7 o'clock.
I have nothing more to note just at pres
ent and being unwell will ask your indul
gence, next week. MacSjiakb, Jr.
Is Drmand. Considerable inquiry is being
made just now for tenement houes by many
of those who do not own the roofs that shelter
them. There should be more houses erected
in our town, and if our neighbor down the road
don't succeed in removing the centre of the
county to its extrene circumference, we hope
to see many new buildings put up the coming
summer. And those who make these improve
ments will do well to remember that George
Uuntley has all kind of building hardware, as
well as paints, which he will sell very cheap in
order to encourage improvemerts of this kind.
Auy one who needs any article in bis line may
reit assured that no dealer cau undersell him.
Kctirsi. If everybody will keep a sharp
look out mid h stiir upper lip they will be apt
to see an eclipse of the moon at an' early hour
this (Wednesday) evening, and if they then go
to Shoemaker & Co's cheap cash store they will
Fee a stock of merchandise tbat cannot be
eclipsed in quantity, quality, or cheapness of
price, by any similar nssortment this side of
tbe moon s eclipse. There is no moonshine
about this latter statement, however, as all can
learn who pay the Messrs. Shoemaker a visit.
Still Maintained. The reputation earned
by A. U. Faller for keeping the largest aud
most lucious oysters eer brought to Ebcns
burg is still maintained by that geulleman.
If you wish to indu'ge in the finest bivalves,
the choicest confections, nuts, iruits, etc., the
freshest ale or beer, or any other palatable del
icacy, you can be accommodated at a moder
ate price by Mr. Faller.
Wi understand onr friend, M- L. Oat man, of
this place, is dointr tbe largest Flour trade done
in Eb3'uurg . lie keeps on hand at all times
the choicest brands oi Flour, and sells at a
shorter profit than any dealer in this vicinity.
The choicest Groceries of all kinds will also
be found at Mr. Oatman's establishment, and
can be bought at tbe most reasonable rates. .
Still Enocgh. If any body supposes that
Vallie Barker has not enough ot goods of all
kinds to supply every body who wants o buy
the bes. of merchandise at the very lowest fig
ures, a visit to his exunsive establishment will
soon dispel tbe doubt. He keeps up au ample
stock and keeps bis prices down very low.

HABITUAL COST1VENESS OR CON
STIPATION, From this.afiicf ion arises
uny of tho ailings of mankind. In our eve.
ry day .1V of life we hear people complain
of nervon? and sw.u Headache, Biliousness, In
activity of the i Liver. Listlcaauess. De
bility, los9 of Appetite, Cholic v-sni) want cf
sleep at night, and drowsiness through tiv
Ger.eially the cause of all this train of difficul
ties can be traced to costiveness or constipation
of the bowels, and a remedy for this compWnt
is what is required; but among the multiplicity
of catharic remedies how shall they choose?
We all know that cattarics, after thorough ac
lion on the bowels, leave them in perhaps a
worse constipated state than before the remedy
was taken. This, however, is not the the case
with Roback's Ulood Pills. They act mildly,
yet most effectively, n the liver, causing that
organ to throw off the accumulated morbid
matter, leaving the stomacn ana bowels in am
perfectly healthy aud natural state and not
const ipatcd. .
Those afflicted In this way would do well,
after the treatment above indicated, to have
Roback's Stomach Bitters where they could
take a dose alter each meal; they would aid
digestion and strengthen the stomach.
How to Kill a Town. The Dubuque
Herald gives tho following receipt fur knock
ing a town stiff aud dead, which we think is
so applicable to our own town that we trans
fer it to our columns : "If you wish to kill
off a town, put up no more buildings thau
you are obliged to occupy yourself. If you
should happen to have an empty building,
and any oue should want to rent, ask about
three times its actual value. Look at every
newcomer with a scowl. Turn a cold shoulder
to every business man or mechaniceeking
a home among you. Go abroad tor wares
rather than purchase of your own merchants
or manufacturers at the same prices. Refuse
to advertise, so that persons at a distance
will not 6 lppose any business is being done
in your town. ' A prompt and clos! obser
vance of these rules will ruin auy town in
two years."

wherever introduced,, has led to the manu

being palmed upon the public as superior

compete with it, while they fall very far

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.
AND
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
This great enterpise is approaching com pie-.
tra i wiih.ii rapidity that astonishes the world.'
Over fifteen (15 (J) miles have been built by
two (2) powerful-companies: the Union Pa
cific Railroad,- beginning arOmaha, building
wct, and the Central Pacific Railroad, begin
ning at Sacramento, and building east, until
'he two roads sh 11 meet. Less than two hun
dred -and fifty miles 'remain to be built. Tbe
greter part of the interval ia now graded,. and
it is reasonably expected that the tbrouch
connection bet wee Saa Francisco and Kew
York wi;l be completed by July I.
As the amount of Government aid given to
eicu ia dependent upon the length of road each
shall build, both companies are prompted to
great efforts to secure the coi.strai.tiou and
control of what, when completed, will bo one
aud tbe only grand Rai'road Line connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific couii.
tr.ellundred and Teu Million Dollars (?I10
0G0.0UU,) in money have already been expend
ed by the two powerful companies engngeJ iu
this great enierpri.-e, and they will speedily
complete the por.ion yet to be built. When
the United States Government found it neces
sary to secure the construction of the Pacific
Railroad, to develop and protect its own infer
est. it gave tho companies, author'zed to build
it such aicp! aid as should render its speedy
completion beyond a doubt. The Government
uiJ may be Lrielly summed up as follows:
. rirst. The light of way and all necessary
timber, i stone lrona public domain.
Second. It nj--wr 4 Qoul.:oa of 12 800 acres
of land to tho mile, wm.,ben the road is
completed, will amount to twe.- tv f n-tiKon
(23.U0'J,0JI) acres, and all ot It'within twe,
(20) miles of the raiiroa l.
'liiird. It loans the companies fiftv million
doll.irs ($50,000,0 Jl), for whiuh it takes a
Econd lien.
The Government haa already loaned the
Union Pacific Railroad twenty four million
and fifty -eight thousand dollars v$24.0.'nS,lO )
and to the Central Pacific Railroad sve:it eii
million six hundred and forty eight thousand
dollars ($l,64t?,000), amounting in' all to
fortv-one milliou seven hundred and six thous
and'dollurs ($41,706,000)
Tbe companies are termltted to wsue their
own Firit Mortage Bonds to the same amount
as they receive from the United States, aad no
more. The companies have sold to permanent
investors about (t4t ,01)0,000) fotty million
dollars of their First Mortgago Bonds. The
companies have already paid in (including net
e uning.-not divided, grants from State of Cali
fornia, snd Sacramento city and Sun Francisco.)
upwards of i $25,(0J,U00) tweuty-nv million
dollars of capital stock.
WHAT IS TIIERE YET TO BE DONE ?
In con idering this question It must bo re
meaibered tint ad the romaitiing iron to finish
the road is coatracteJ fur, and the largest por
tion paid for and now delivered on the line of
the Uniou Pacific Railroad aud the Central Pa
cific Railroad, aud that tbe grading is almost
fii.isbed.
WHAT RESOURCES II AVE TI1C COM
PANIES TO FINISH THE ROAD ? .
First. They will recciae frui the G.jvern
nieut hr tbe r-jad progresses ubout $D,i.0O,0d0
anditional.
Second Thev can iaue their own First
Moiltfage Bonds for about 49,01.0. 0U0 addi
tional.
Third. T' e companies now hold almost all
the lar.-l they have up to this time received
from the Govornmeut; upon the cooi.letinn of
the road they will hare received in ail 23,'iOD,.
000 acres, which Rt$l.I0 per acre wou'J be
wor-.h ?31 50'J.OU'J.
In addition to the above the net can ingR of
the roads and additional capital, if necessary
could be called i:i to Cuish the road.
W AY B US I NESS A C T UAL EARNI NO 3 .
No one has ever cif resrei a doubt that us

TO PK EDICT FOR THE OiiEAT PA

We would give the following .facts acilved
from Shipping Lists, Insurance Companies,
Railroads, and general information:

nama with California and
China. 53 120.0C0 "

Here we have two hundred and thirty thous
and tons carrie 1 westward, and experience
has shown that iu the last few years the re
turn -passengers from Culilontia have beeu
neatly as numerous as those sro:ng.
HOW MANY PASSENGERS are TIIERE?
We msike the following estimate.
1 10 Steamships, both ways, TO.t'Od (act'l for '68)
200 Ves-els, - " ' - 4.0(H) estimat'd

Present price (averaging half the C03ta of

4G0.0U0 tons,' rated at 51 per cubic fo . . .
10.640.0WO
$33.01,000
Basing calculations upon the above figures,
without allowing tor the large increase of bus
iuess, wbieh can safely be looked for, then es
timate the running expeuscs nt one half and
we have a net income of $16 20.0i)0; which;
alter paying the interest on the Firet Mort

Government, would leave a net annual income
of 00",Ut0 over and above all expenses and
