Bot it is bu'.J that tou wish to kcrt the rso
ni of Ebduilarg. No, not J. So far as I am
prtoail; concerned, these people hare treat
ed m with ublfrm kindaesa and .courtesy, and
1 will not hart tbm. Extiact Irom the speech
of Abraham Kopelin, Siq., at the Jctmatowa
meeting.
It was Tery kiad acd coralderate, but
very hypocritical, on the part cf Mr.
Kopelin to thus publicly announce that
he would not hurt the people cf ELerfburg.
In view of hit disclaimer of 8ny hostile
intentions towards our people, it is fnir to
presume that the people of this "ubeolete
village," will now breathe freer and deep
er ; and in their name, therefore, we ten
der him their most profound feelings of
consideration and respect. His counter
feit magnanimity has relieTe-J our "pec-pie"
from a great impending calamity, and for
this we know that their hearts yearn to
ward "Fathir Abraham" with the most
enlarged feelings of gratitude, as well as
reverence. Although he is one of the
principal actors in the play known as
The Removal Farce" and although be is
doing his "level best" to promote the suc
cess of that contemptible outrage, we
wish him distinctly to understand, that
when he seriously undertakes to uhurt the
people of Ebensburg" he is going into a
very lacge field of young corn with a very
small and diminutive hoe.
The Attorney General of the United
States, E. R. Hoar, resigned bis office
cd day last week, and Grant" has ap
pointed as his successor a man from Geor
gia by the name of Auos T. Acrekman.
The old question ngain arises, as it did
when the Radical leaders were bewildered
and dumbfounded at the appointment of
Eorie, Kobison and Belknap as Cubinet
It seems that b was burn in New Hamp
shire that at an early age he removed
to Georgia studied law with John Mc
Fbehson 13 tu pi f.n, at one time a Whig
Senator of the United States was a rebel
sympathizer during the war served on the
military staff of Gen. Toombs and that
his political disabilities as a Southern sym
pathizer were removed by an act of Con
gress duriuc th session of 18G8-9. This
Is Acklrman's hittory in brief. ;"
As a Democrat we care nothing about
Grant's appointments, singular and in
comprehensible as they have been. The
President himself is admitted by his own
political friends to be the weakest and
most unintellectual man who has everoc
copied the Presidential chair. His whole
aim and purpose Bee ma to have been from
the outeet of his administration to have
no man in bis cabinet who possessed more
claims to statesmanship than himself, and
in this stroke of policy he Las been re
ruorknbly successful. In this view of
Grant and his cabinet there has been
full and complete accord on his part, and
in what is well known in political circles
as the fitness of things," it cannot be
denied that the ' 'Second Washington" has
achieved immortal success.
The different nominating conventions
representing -'the party of great moral
Ueas," met in Philadelphia on yesterday
week, to select candidates for Congress, as
well as for the Legislature and the various
city offices. The Radical press of that
city being the judges of what took placo,
the proceedings were eminently disgrace
ful to the party of "progress and decency.'
Although no person was killed outright,
several good and truly loyal men were
severely wounded in the general terror and
rowdyism that prevailed in the various
conventions. It was calculated to reminc
one of the pugilistic scenes and the fierce
encounters of a genuine, old fashioned
Donnybrook fair. It is the first time that
"American citizens of African descent'
took part in the delegate elections, as wcl
as in the nominating conventions of that
luicnsciy loyai municipality. What is
likely to be the practical effect of this
new political element, which has been in
trodaced into the Radical party under the
operation of the fifteenth amendment, is
clearly foreshadowed in the following ex
tract from an article in the Inquirer, a
leading Republican journal. It is the
handwriting on the wall and ia as easily
read and interpreted as that of old on a
memorable occasion :
"There should have bean a lesson for
these tricksters in the result of the late elec
tion contest for Mayor and other munlcina
officers. Just now that lesson is forcotton.
because since then several thousand colored
rctem have been added to the Kepablican
party, this addition, the coavcntiomsts
believed, would again permit then to foi6t
upon tbe comroun'.ty a horde of party hacks.
In this, hwveT, they have made a mistake.
The organiAtion ia net as strong to-day,
notwithstanding the reinforcements it has
received from the fifteenth amendment, as
it was at the time of the Majoral election.
It is estimated there are between five and sii
thousand colored voters in Philadelphia, and
tbat at least fonr thousand of these will vote
the Eepublican ticket at the October elec
tion. Both these estimates may be correct
but at a fcheff there must be considered the
lost (f thcusandt cf whits ConservcUivet,
nohctt atfiliatiant with the parly were never

hare made it their business to know, that

Jebnsfswo on tbe Rampage.
On last -Saturday week, a public meeting
was held in Johnstown, on what is called,
by way of farksque, "Court House
Fquare," for the purpose of enabling cer
tain gentlemen of that city of the two
rivers to relieve themselves of their super
abundant wrath against the people of
tbensburg, and to throw off a vast and
astonishing quantity of rant and twaddle
on the question of the removal of the coun
ty seat. The array of orators on the in
teresting occasion was quite formidable,
as well in cumbers as in intellectual
strength and personal end political influx
ecce. We have no. doubt that after each
of the speakers had apoken hia Utile piece,
and had been safely delivered of "thoughts
that breathe and words tbat burn," he
felt in love with himself and arrived at the
conclusion that the meeting was a "big
thing' that the new juil would be num
bered among (he things that were to have
been and that "Court House Square" is
a Jixed J'act.
Prominent among the list of speak crs
was A. Kopelin Esq , and while all the
addresses will afford first-class light read
ing on a rainy day, the following choice
extract from that gentleman's effort is
peculiarly refreshing :
'Standing in the bv-waT of progress, your
opponents don't seem to tee the notice, 'Look.
out for the locomotive. (Jan t tney Fee that
'tis commercial and not geographical centres
which control the forces impelling tbe machi
nery of society. IIow absurd that a lady of
seventy should be forced by an ancient organ
ization of society to travel thirty miles with
two witnesses op the Allegheny Mountains to
prove, tb k&k, the fact that her dear husband
was dead, and gave her enough to live on out
of their joint earnings until she should die ; or
that one of you, having bought a lot in some
humble spot for a lowly home, for twenty -five
dollars, should Le forced to go to the same
place to record your tide at an (if you treat or
retreat) average expense of five dollars. Sup
pose you have personal dilnculties with your
neighbors ? Won't it cost you less time and
money to have all that settled at home ? Why
carry these matters some thirty ml.es awnj to
have them adjudicated-"
Suppose that this "lady of seventy" re
sided in the eastern portion of Chest cr
White townships, or in the northern part
of Susquehamtu township, and that she
should be forced by a medtm "organize
tion of society" to travel, not "thirty milt s
with two witness" to prove her bus
band's will, but be compelled to go to
Johnstown, a distance of nearly s'xty
miles, for the very same purpose, what
would Mr. Kopelin say to the absurdity
of that proposition I The rule will work
both ways. The same thing might be
said in reference to recording a deed or
mortgage, or to the trial of a cause in
court, which Mr. K. thinks ought to be
"settled at home." If thiB convenient
arrangement could be effected, then it fol
lows, according to his new fangled ideas,
that there ought to be not only a Register
and Recorder's office but also a Court
House in every township in the county,
in order tbat all these legal matters might
be "eettled at home." His superlative
nonsense being admitted, forces him to
the other preposterous conclusion. How
ever warmly Mr. K. may be. wedded to
the removal humbug, he enjoys the repu
tation of having at least a fair share of
common sense ; but when he is compelled
to resort to such puerile arguments as are
contained in the foregoing paragraph, he
confesses the utter rottenness of the cause
he advocates aud presumes largely on the
credulity of those who listened to and
wore possibly delighted with his palaver.
At the primary elections which were
held last week in Fayette and Westmore
land counties, Henkt D. Foster was
declared to be the choice of the Democrat
ic party for Congress. Indiana county
will of course concur in his nomination,
thus placing Gen. Foster again before
the people of the district for their suffrages.
It is a great pity that John Covode has
retired from the contest. Some of the
Radicals in the district, doubt Covode's
sincerity in declining to be a candidate
and affect to believe that "Oily Gam-
mon is '-fixlnrr thinorq in nrAar tn onfnr

can only hope that this surmise may prove
to be correct. A political demagogue of
the very first water, will then be finally

that knows bim now will, after the 4th of
next March, know him no more forever.

Greeley on Wbltlemore.
Wmttemoke, unabashed and with bra
zen face, has made his appearance at
Washington, endorsed by a majority of
eight thousand of his negro constituents.
He has not yet presented his credentials,
but is enJeavoring to find out what are
the chances for his admission. Judging
from the outspoken utterances of some of
the leading Radical members of Congress,
as welt an the decided tone of several
prominent Republican journals, bis pros
pects do not seem to be at all encouraging.
His fit habitation would be a prison, in
stead of occupying a seat amongst men
who claim to be high-minded and honora
ble. -
In the following truthful and scathing
article, Horace Greeley does full and am
ple justice to the subject, and at the same
time pays a well deserved compliment to
the Democratic members of the House
for their course in reference to the dis
graceful business of corruptly bartering
away cadetships :
Cokgkess, ob the Pixitentiaxt? A man
is presently to offer himself at the bar of the
House for readmwnort, concerning whom this
same House recently adopted this resolution :
RTsoivtD, That B. Y. Whitteraore, late
member from the 1st District of fcouth Caro
lina, did mike appointment! to the military
Academy at West Point and the Kavul Acad
emy at Annapolis in violation of law, and that
his conduct in the premises has been euch as
to show him unworthy of a seat in the House
of Representatives, and i therefore condemn
ed as conduct unworthy of the Representative
of the people.
Is this corrupt man, who was unworthy of a
scat three months ago, to be Readmitted as
woithy now? We bear that he has been tele
graphing to hit friend and counsel. Gen Butler,
the nt of his triumphant re election; that be
confidently expects to be admitted without dis
pute; that reputable members are deploring it
in a helpless sort of way, and going about
dolefully asking each other, "How can .we
preveut it?"
Really we do not know. The House is made
the sole judge as to the qualification of its
members. Once it Eeems to have had pretty
decided Lotions concerning the qualifications
of Mr. B. F. "WLittemoro. It grew less deci
ded in some similar cates; finally it disgraced
ittelf by permitting Mr. Butler of Tennessee
to remain, albeit as guilty as 'Whittemore lam
self ; now, perhaps, it may think Mr. Wbiite
more possessed ot all the qualifications required
for its present standard. It is the Fole judge.
But we can assure members that the time
is at hand when a larger body of voters will
be called to sit in judgment. Thus far the
Democrats have promptly spurned and enst
out every member ol then partv iound ruiltv
of this cadetsbip infamy. We assumed great
virtue at the outset ; then we lurnish able
counsel for the Congressional cadet merchants;
next we excused one because he hid been an
unu8Urtltv active Republican, and after that
the whole business btcke down. We tell
gentlemem that we have hud fully as much of
ihi sort of thing as we can stand. We utterly
and vehemently protest against assuming any
ti.ore party responsibilities in Lieu all ot the
carpet-bag Concresrmen. Here la a man no
toriously guilty of shameful and criminal acts
If the United States authorities have not al
ready neglected their duty in the case, he
would have been admitted to the penitentiary
of South Carolina, ju-t about the time he is
approaching the bar of the House to take afresh
upon his perjured lips the oath of office. The
law of Congress explicitly provides that if any
member ol Congress stiaJi, turcct.'y Or mui
rectly, receive any" pecuniary or other valua
ble consideration for procming any office or
place utider the Government, he shall be liable
to indictment for misdemeanor in the United
Stales Court, and upon conviction shall pay a
fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars, and
be imprisoned in the penitentiary for a term
not exceeding two years, and be thereafter dis
qualified from holding any effice of honor,
profit, or trust, under the Government of the
United States.
The House has "resolved that he has done
theee things: it has itself prescribed this pen
alty for the doing of these thir.gs; it now asks
whether, ignoring the guilt, and defying its
own law, it shall readmit Mr. Whittemore
perhaps that he may vote for the repeal of the
odious law!
We have consistently urged Universal Suf
frage and Universal Amnesty as the true solu
tion for the problem presented at the close of
the war by the conquered South. Wo have
never held that Negro Suffrage, coupled with
Disfranchisement of Whites, afforded such a
solution. We point now to its disgraceful
workings in the ense of this man Whittemore,
and ask "Honorable" members Whittemore
himself is soon to show an admiring world
what this high title, "Honorable" means
to consider the result and draw their own con
clusions. x
P. S. Since the foregoing article was
put in type, the proceedings in the House
on last Tuesday, show that Whittrmore
was refused his seat by a vote of 57 in
hia favor to 84 against him.
Death of Jekojie N. Honapaijte.
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, who died
yesterday iu Baltimore, was nephew to
the First Emperor Napoleon, being the
son of hia brother, Jeiome Bonaparte, by
his marriage, at Baltimore, Maryland,
with an American lady, Miss Patterson.
This marriage was invalidated in France,
on the plea that Jerome was a minor
when he contracted it. But the Pope,
although much urged to do so, refused to
dissolve or impugn the obligations of the
religious ceremony, solemnized by eccles-
iastics of the Roman Catholic Church.
Nevertheless, Jerome married a German
Princess, and among his children by thai
union is the present Prince Napoleon.
I here is, therefore, a rather dubious ques
I." . .
uon ot tegmmacy in this Prince's case :
r r . . c . . . -
tut n ma imuuf b nri marriage was in tuil
force at the time of the second, it was in
valid. Some years ago, when this Prince
Napoleon was "assuming an attitude of
hostility to President, now Emperor. Lou
is Napoleon, he sent to this country for
the son of Mr.. Jerome Bonaparte, and
placed him in the French army. This
was siginfiennt of an intention to recognizo
the Baltimore family and stigmatize the
Prince Napoleon with illegitimacy. He
was, it is thought, very powerfully affec
ted by this demonstration, and proved
more tractable to his cousin's wishes.
The lady whose attractions produced all
this trouble is still living in Baltimore,
having long preserved the beauty that
made the young French midshipman
brave the anger of his powerful brother
then First Consul. But on Jerome's re
turn to France, he soon yielded his nre-
forence for his American wife, married
another, and was made Kinf of West
phalia. He lived to see his nephew as-
cend the throne, and died a Prince of the
new Empire. He was an insignificant
character of whom we never heard any

II? TOC LIOXS DE.V,
An Appalling? and Horrible Occurrence
rnrw or Rbinwn'g Circna 3In
Si iHert and Fonr Shockingly
Lacerated by Wild Beaatt.
From the Mlddletown (Missouri) Banner.
Upon starting from Cincinnati for the
season, tie management of James Robin
son's circus and animal show determined
to produce something novel in the way of
a band chariot, and conceived the idea of
mounting the band upon the collossal den
of performing Numidian lions, and which
would form one of the principal and most
imposing features of the show. 1
Although repeatedly warned by Pro- !
fessor Sexton that he deemed the cages I
insecure and dangerous in the extreme,
the managers still persisted in compelling
the band to ride npon it. Nothing, how
ever, occurred until the fatal morning of
the 12ih.
The band took their -places and the pro
cession commenced to move amid the
shouts of the multitude of rustics who bad
assembled to witness the grand pageant
and hear the enlivening strains of music.
Not a thought of danger was entertained
by any one, but the awful catastrophe was
about to occur.
As the driver endeavored to make a
turn in the streets the leaders became en
tangled and threw the entire team into
confusion, and he lost control of them and
becoming frightened they broke into a
violent run. Upon the opposite side of
the street the fore-wheel of the cage came
in contact with a large rock with such
force as to cause the braces and stanchions
which supported the roof to give way,
thereby precipitating the entire band into
the awtut pit below.
For on instant the vast crowd were
paralyzed with fear, but for a moment
only, and then arose euch a shriek of
agony as was never heard before. The
awful groans of terror and agony which
arose from the poor victims who were be
ing torn, lacerated by the frightful mon
sters below, was heart-rending and sick
ening to a terrible degree.
Every moment some one of the band
would extricate themselves from the debris
and leap over the sides of the cage to the
ground with a wild spring and faint away
upon striking the earth, so great was their
terror. But human nature could not
stand and see men literally devoured be
fore their very eyes, for there were willing
hearts and strong arms ready to render
every assistance necessary to rescue the
unfortunate victims of this shocking ca
lamity. A hardware store which happened to
stand opposite was invaded by tho request
of the noble-hearted proprietor, and pitch
forks, crowbars and long bars of iron, and
in fact every available weapon was brought
into rrquision. The side doors of the
ca;;e were quickly torn from their fasten
ings, and then a horrible sight was pre
sented to view. Mingled among the bril
liant uniforms of the poor unfortunates
lay lef, arms, torn from their sockets
and half devoured, while the sav:ige brutes
glared ferociously with their sickly green
colored eyes upon tLe petrified crowd,
Professor Charles White arrived at this
moment and gave orders in regard to ex
tricating the dead and wounded be well
knowing it would be a difficult and dan
gerous undertaking to remove them from
the infuriated monsters.
Stationing men with forks and bars at
every available point, be sprang fearlessly
into the den amid the monsters, and com
menced raising the wounded, and passing
them upon the outside to their friends.
He had succeeded in removing the wound
ed, and was proceeding to gather up the
remains of the lifeless, when the mam
moth lion, known to showmen as old
Nero, sprang with a frightful ronr upon
his keeper, fastening his teeth and claws
in his neck and shoulders, lacerating him
in a horrible manner. Professor White
made three herculenn efforts to thake the
monster off, but without avail," and gave
orders to lire upon him.
The contents of four of Colt's r.avys
iramediatelj' poured into the carcass of the
ferocious animal, and he fell dead ; and
the brave little man, notwithstanding the
fearful manner in w hich he was wounded,
never left the cage until every vestage of
the dead were carefully gathered together
and placed upon a sheet, preparatory for
burial. It was found that three of the
ten were killed outright, and four others
terribly lacerated. The names of the
killed are August Schoer, Conrad Freiz
and Charjes Greiner. Coffins were pro
cured and an immediate funeral deter
mined upon, as the bodies were so fright
fully lorn and lacerated as to be unrecog
nizable to their most intimate friends.
Tho lions are the same ones which
nearly cost Prof. Charles White his life
two years ago, while traveling with the
Thayer & Isoyes party, and were known
to be a dangerous cage of animals. Every
attention is being given to the sufferers by
the kind and hospitable citizens of Middle
town, and at last accounts they were all
pronounced out of denger.
Another Stoky on Whittkmore.
"Z," the special Washington correspond,
ent of the Baltimore Gaettte, tells the fol
lowing :
Another story on Whittemore, the ca
detship pedler, has leaked out, and can
be vouched for to the letter. Some time
before Whittemore resigned to avoid being
kicked out of the House,- there was a
charitable fetiival of some sort, and tickets
of admission were sent to eachmember of
Congress. Whittemore evidently thought
he was the only person thus honored, and
going over to a neighbor, he endeavored
to strike up a trade. Said Whittemore.
producing his ticket, "Every member is
expected to take one of these tickets and
hand over $5 ; I've got just this one left,
and will let you have it." The member
addressed bad a ticket in his pocket, but
said nothing, beyond declining to pur
chase. Then Whittemore tried another
member, with no better result. How
many 'more be may have approached is
not known.

An Attempted Octraob Upoh a j
White Woman by a Neoeo. The ac- j
counts of the terrible outrages committed
on white women by negroes, which we
read in the newspapers from day to day,
from all parts of the country, are about
to be realized in oar very midst, with all
their attending horrors. On Sunday even
ing, the 5th inst., Michael Grim, who
resides with his father-in-law, Peter
Smith, on the Baltimore Turnpike, in
Yoik township, three miles south of this
borough, left bis wife alone m the house,
while b called to see a neighbor, and
during his absence a negro man entered
the dwelling, and finding his lady alone
and unprotected, took hold of her and at
tempted to commit an outrage upon her
person. But she being a woman of great
courage, seized an iron poker used at the
stove, and struck the villain a tremendous
blow across the forehead, which had the
effect of frustrating his design. He be
came enraged, and in return struck the
lady over the head with a cane, inflicting
a severe wound. She then took hold'of
the rope attached to the dinner bell, and
rang it to alarm the neighbors, when he
made a hasty retreat, and has not since
been seen. The lady, as may be supposed,
bad become so exhausted and frightened
that she was unable to halloo. She had
a portion of her clothing torn from her
person in the scuffle, when she struck him
with the poker. Had she not been gifted
with a courage and presence of mind that
few women are possessed of, the black
scoundrel would have accomplished his
hellish purpose. She describes the negro
as being of medium height, rather stout,
and probably thirty or thirty-five years of
age, and pretty dark in color. Had the
enraged populace of that vicinity overta
ken the fiend, when the facts became
known, he would doubtless, have been
lynched upon the spot, a reward which
his conduct would so richly have deserved.

More Than the National Dkbt.
The value of the land given by Congress
on Saturday to the 'Central Branch of
the Union Pacific Railroad" was a belt of
land fifty-miles wide and three hundred
mile9 long, or about as large as the terri
tory of New Jersey, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Delaware, and Florida, in one
lump. It is given "solid," too. Here
tofore alternate tecfions have been given
on the plea that the odd sections were re
served for settlers and would be so much
increased in value by railroads as to make
each one of them worth what bjth put to
gether were before. Now even that fal
lacy is ignoicd. The whole is given
away. What was given away on Satur
day would more thun pay the national
debt, to liquidate which in driblets the
Administration maintains war taxes. The
loudest advocates for this measure were
those superfine loyalists, Messrs. Howard
and Ilarland. The land given away be
longed to the people, and, as said would
more than pay the national debt. Tho

which it were undoubtedly bought, and
the time will not be long before some of
the rogues, by falling out, will enable
honest men to write every man's price out
against every man's no me w ho parceled
out the public domain in-this manner.
Yet owing to this kind of legislation, ow
ing to the selling of votes to corporations,
taxes ate. kept up to war rates, twelve
States are shackled, and we are asked to
endorse an Administration which squan
ders more than the sum total of the na
tional indtbtedness on a single bill.
A Sad Case An Insane Man in a
Small Room for over Ten Years. Com
plaint having been made at the Central
Station that an insane man, named John
Ilerriges, aged about thiity year?, was
kept confined in a small room, at the
northeast corner of Fourth and Lombard
streets, a detective visited the place yes
terday. The house at Fourth and Lom
bard is owned, it is said, by Joseph Her
riges, a brother of the insane man, and
who keeps a cigar store. The detective
found John Herriges in a small bed room,
about 8 by 10 feet, without clothing, ex
cept a loose sack or frock of coarse linen.
The room was in a most filthy condition,
tho walls and floor being covered with
dirt. The insane man was also very dirty,
and presented a most wretched appear
ance. The officer fook him and his broth
er to the Central station, where a hearing
was had before Alderman Kerr.
It was stated by some of the parties
present that John had been confined in
the room where he was found for the past
ten or fifteen years. The brother, Joseph
said that he had taken care of him for
several years, but could not tell the exact
number of years, and that his insanity
was caused by a fall. John is very quiet,
obeying promptly all orders given him. -Drs.
Edward Mayers and T. S. Betes,'
who were present, pronounced John in
sane, and the Alderman ordered him to be
removed to the Almshouse. Joseph, his
brother, was held in 5,000 bail to an
swer the charge of maintaining a nuisance
and cruelty to his brother. PhiL Ledger.
On Saturday the Rt. Rev. T. Mullen,
who was formerly pastor of St. Peter's
Catholic Church, Allegheny, but now
Bishop of the Diocese of Erie, arrived in
the xiy from Rome, and received a most
cordial welcome from the hands of the
clergy and the many warm friends of the
different religous denominations which he
has hero. The reverend gentleman's corns
ing was entirely unexpected, and few in
his own diocese know at this moment of
his arrival in this country, and in this city.
Bishop Mullen visited Ireland on bis way

rick, living next door, interfered, where

upon Lacy and stabbed him several times,
inflicting wounds from which he cannot re
cover. The Meriden fCr.) Republican has this
story: "On Tuesday evening a drunken
man crept into Mr. S. B. Morgan's" stables,
and lay dowu to sleep off the effect of hia
deep potatioiis in the horse's bed of clean
straw. He went iu at about 6 o'clock. At
9 o'clock some one entered the stable to see
"if the horse wa9 littered down for the night,
and found that the drunkard was lying at
full length beneath the horse's belly. The
sagacious animal had backed out 'as far
as he could, and stood with legs distended
to avoid hurting the inebriated sleeper be
neath him. The man was dragged from his
perilous position, and restored to his friends.
It is lucky for him that the horse had more
intelligence than himself."

minutes an excited multitude of men, women
and children were in the streets. Upon
lookmg up a thin curl of amoke was seen rias
ing from the steeple. A local alarm was
given and several fire compaoiea went to
the spot, but their services were not needed
Men went up in the steepla and discovered
a small smouldering fire, which was extin
guished by a bucket of water. How the fire
got there is a mystery. Had It smouldered
for an hour later tbe magnificent structure
would probably have been destroyed per
haps involving a low of life, as service", wss
to be held in the church in about half an
hour. The church was entuely destroyed
by firo near tho close of 1861.
