That waa trying to cover it, dimples and all; A fat little hand pushing sturdily up, And catching the drops in its mite of a cup1; A frolicsorrie baby that didn't complain Though mamma and he were out in the rain. The ferry-boat jerked itself into the slip, And down came the shower, a pelt aud a drip; The pretty young ladies were mute with despair, Tor tho rain would just leave them with "nothing to wear;" "While the dainty young gentlemen stared at the skies With a feeling quit mildly expressed by surprise; But 'twas fua to the baby, and once and again He laughed his delight at the beautiful rain. There were women with bundles and men with cigars; There were newsboys around both the 'bus es aud cars; There were crowds going up, there were crowds going down, And faster the deluge poured over the town; Umbrellas were useless at home in the hall, And baby was fortunate, wrapped iu a shawl; He tugged at it bravely, with struggle aud strain It hindered his seeing enough of the rain. 0 baby ! you darling, so merry and sweet, 1 followed you up the long hill of the street; I'd nothing to fear, for my hat was not new, And so I had leisure to trifle with you, And throw you my kisses, aud thiuk what a joy That dear little mamma must find such a boy; An armful to carry, a weight on her shoul der, But day by day growing a tiny bit older; Her pride and her comfort. She didn't complain As she bore you so cheerily homo in tho rain. Once there, how she'd loosen that magical pin That had fastened so precious a prisoner in. And golden curls tumbled and cap all awry, And rumpled aud crumpled, but happy and dry, "MVotild set you once more on the two little feet, Restless and rosy, and cunning and fleet, And laugh as you told her again and again, "How nithe it wath, mamma, eutdere iu do wain!" r,.VA,:-- "'' Just issue. eow. : or ' il ri" ii . i J ' 'ssueei, exposing a..

GEO. W. OATMAN, Auditor Ebensburar, Oct. 17, 1873.-31. WILLIAM KITTELL, Attorney nt-Vnir. Ebenstiurjr, Pa. Office in Col or.mv1" Bow, CtTitre set;t. I t!0.-tf.l An Ittcitletii of the Chicago Fire. The wind had again risen to a hurricane. All around was a storm of firebrands, as though the flakes in a snow-storm had been turned to flame. Great sheets of bla zing felt-roofing were driven ovothead. Everywhere timbers and masonry were falling; walls a half square in length came down with the thunder's crash, aud in such quick succession that the noise ceased to be noticed. Thousands of frantic people were pushing wildly in every direction. The crowds seemed bewildered, lost, fren zied. And what wonder? The world seemed to bo burning up, the heavens to be molting; a star looked like a speck" of blood, so that the whole caDopy of heaven when visible seemed blood-spattered. As the doctor was gazing at the terrible spec tacle the cry ran from mouth to mouth that all the bridges across the west branch of the river were burned. There were thou sands of spectators from tho "West Divi sion who had come over to witness the melting away of the South Side business palaces. If the bridges were burned, there remained but one avenue by which they could reach their homes. There were cries of "the tunnel! the tunnel!" a panic tuid a grand rush, in which everybody was borne westward toward Washington street tunnel. Dr. Lively found himself forced iuto the tunnel. It was crowded with two streams of wildly excited people moving iu opposite directions. One was rushing to the rescue of property on the South Side or to see the fire the other, to get away from it. Most of these latter were carrying articles of furniture and bales of goods, or they wero wheeling loaded bar rows. Everybody was crowding and push ing. Our doctor had made his way thro' about one-third of the tunnel whon sud denly every light went out. The great gasometer of the South Sido gas-works had exploded. lie was under the river, in the bowels of the earth, in the midst of that wild crowd of humanity, and in utter darkness. "There will be a panic," he thought: "all the weak will be overrun and trampled to death. God help them and help us all!" Then there came to him a flash of inspiration: "Keep to the right!" be shouted, "to the right!" "Keep to the right!" repeated an abetting voice. "To the right!" "Keep to the right!" "Right! Right!" The blessed words ran along from one end of the dark way to the other. Then a hush seemed to fall on the lips as as though the hearts were at prayer, and the two streams moved along like proces sions through the dark valley of the shadow of death. Facing about, Dr. Lively squeezed his wav through a dense throng cn North "Water Btreet bridgo till he gained the North Division. Here he sat down on the steps of a warehouse to take breath and look back on the scene he had left. Tho fire had reached the river, which reflected the lurid horror above, and seemed a stream of molten metal, or a current of glowing j lava poured from some wide- rend in the earth. Struggling human creatures in . the blazing, hissing, sputtering waters realized Dante's imaginings of tortured, writhing souls on tho red floor of hell. Tired and faint, Dr. Lively pressed on to the north. He was not long in learning that the fire was already raging in ths doomed North Division, and that the water-works were disabled. Reaching the house of his friend; trhere his family had taken refuge, he found them all informed of the peril to the North Side, and getting ready to move. His friend decided tb take refugo on the prairies. "There we can keep up the race," he said. "I am going where I can get water," said Dr. Lively ; "it's the only thing under heaven that this fire-fiend won't eat. There isn't a suburb but may be burned. I'm going toward tho lake." So he took pos session of his wife and boy and started for Lincoln Park. There were lights iu all the houses, and eager, swift-moving fig ures wore seen through the doors and win dows; everywhere people were getting their things into the streets. Shortly after, the flames, it was noticed, were beginning to pale. A weird kind of light began to creep over burning house, blazing street and ruined walL The day was dawning. With a kind of bewildered feeling our friends watched tho coming on of the strange, ghostly morning, and saw the pale, sickly, shamefaced sun come up out of tho lake. It was ten o'clock before they reach ed the old cemetery south of Lincoln Park. Hundreds had already arrived there with their belongings representing every article that pertains to modern civilization. Par ties were momently coming in with more loads. Here our friends halted. Mrs. Lively dropped down in a fugitive rocking chair, thinking what a comfort it would be to go off into a faint. But without a pillow or salts or camphor It was a luxury in which she did not daro to indulge, tho' she had a physician at hand. Right in front of her she noticed a besmutched, red-eyed woman who had something fa miliar iu her appearance. "Why, it's my self !" she said to her husband, pointing to a large pi a to mirror leaning against an old headstone. "Yea," said the doctor smiling, "we all look like sweeps." Napoloon seated himself on a grave and opened his lunch-basket. "Did anybody ever?" ciicd the mother, "This boy brought his basket through. There's nothing in all tho world except something to eat that he would have devo ted himself t iu this way." "Nothing could have proved more oppor tune," said the father. Then they ate their breakfast, sharing it with a iittle girl who was crying for her father, and with a lady who was carrying a handsome dress bonnet by the ribbons, and who in turn shared her portion, with her poodle dog. They Offered a idice of cake to a sad old gentleman sitting on an inverted pail with hands clasped above a gold headed cane, and his chin resting on them. He shook his head without speak ing, and wont on gazing in a dreary, ab stracted way into the air, as though oblivi ous of everything around him. "Though I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there," lie said in a slow-measured solilo quy. His lips began to quiver and the tears to stream down his furrowed face. Dn Lively heard, and wiped his eyes on the back of his hand: he had nothing else to roceive the quick tears. J ust then a hearse with nodding black plumes came by loaded with boxes and bundles, on which were perched A woman aud five children, the three youngest crowing and laughing iu uncouscieus glee at their strange circurh stanees. This was followed by two bug gies hitched together, both packed with women and children drawn by a siugle horse, astride of which was a lame man; "What is it, madame ?' said Dr. Lively to a woman who waa wringing her hands and crying piteously. "Why, you see," sho said between her sobs, "mo and Johnny made our livin' a- sellin' pop-corn; and last night we had a bushel popped ready for the Monday's trade; and now it'B all gone: we've lost everything all that beautiful corn: there wasn't a single scorched grain." "But think what others have lost their beautiful homes and all their business, " She suddenly ceased crying, and turning upon him, said sharply, "We lost all wo had: did they lose any more'n they had?" A young man came pressing through the crowd, desperately clutching .1 picture in a handsome gilt frame. Through the smoke and smutch which stained the canvas was scon a gray-haired, saintly woman's head. ' "Tho picture of his mother" thought ! the doctor with a swelling about his heart. "I saved dese," said a jolly-faced Ger man, extending his two hands; "and dey is all I had when I come from de Fader land to Chicago. And saved you nothin' ?" The mau appealod to had about him three children and a pale delicate woman. "I saved these," he said with a gesture that was an embrace. "All the baby-faces we left hanging on the walla in the home where they were born." Then the bearded lip quiverod and the lids were dropped over tho brimming eyes. The mother looked up with clear, uufalter- i ing features, and with a light grateful al most joyous, in her fine eyes, ana said softly, "But all the real faces we'vs brought along." Then one of the little girls took up the story: "Oh, mother, Tommy's picture will be burned, and we can never get another. Tommy's dead you know," she explained. The mother's eyes grew misty, and so did tho Gcriran's and the doctor's, and many others. There they were in that old deserted cemetery, a company of strangers, not one of whom had ever seen the other's face before, exchanging their confidence and mingling their tears. All day long the fugitives poured into this strange encampment, and by night they numbered 30,000. There was shout ing, swearing, laughing, weeping, wailing. There was palid8tupe fact ion, sullen si lence, and faces of black despair very kind of face except the happy variety. Tho air was thick with frightful stories of arson; of men hanging to lamp posts; of incendiaries hurled headlong Into the fires they had kindled; of riot, mobs and law lessness. There was scarcely a suburb that was not reported to be burning np, and prairie fires were said to be raging. The fate of Sodom was believed to havo overtaken Chicago and her dependent suburbs. "There's no safety here," said Mrs. Live ly nervously as the flames approached the cemetery. "Do let's get out of this horrid place. What in the world do you want to stay here for ?" "My dear," replied the doctor with a twinkle, "I don't want to stay hcr. Wo are not certainly safe, but I don't know of any place where our chances would bo any better." "Let's go down to tho beach, get on a propeller and go out into the lake." "But, my dear, 'The Sands' and the lake shore are already thronged. It is said that people wero lying in the lake, and others standing up to their necks in water women with children in their arms. The propellers have doubtless taken off fugi tives to their entire capacity." In the mcantimo the fire came on.

Mr. Harbiaon had just pushed back, and was looking under the lounge for his boots. Mrs. Harbison sat at the table, holding the infant Harbison, and mechan ically wonking her forefinger in its mouth. Suddenly she paused in the motion, threw the astonished child on its back, turned as white as a sheet, pried open its mouth, and immediately gasped, "Ephraim!" Mr. Harbison, who was on his knees with his head under the lounge, at once came forth, rapping his head 6harply on tho side of the louugo as he did so, and getting on his feet inquired what was the matter. "O, Ephrairaj" said she, the tears rolling down her cheeks and the smiles coursing up. "Why, what is itj Armethca?" said the astonished Mr. Harbison, smartly rubbing his head where it had come in contact with the lounge. "Baby ' sho gasped. Mr. Harbison turned pale, and commenced to sweat. "Baby has baby has got a tooth l" "No I" screamed Mr. Harbison, spreading his legs apart, dropping his chin, and staring at the struggling heir with all his might. "I tell you it is" persisted Mrs. Harbison, with a slight evidence of hysteria. "O, O, it can't bo,V protested Mr. Harbison, preparing to swear if it wasn't. "Com here and see for yourself," said Mrs. Harbison. "Open it's 'ittta mousy wousy for it's own muzzer. That's a toody woody ; that's a blessed 'ittle 'urap o' sugar." Thus conjured the heir open ed its mouth sufficiently for tho author of its being to thrust in his finger, and that gentleman having convinced himself by the most indubitable evidence that a tooth was there, immediately kicked his hat across the room, buried his fist in the lounge, and declared with much feeling and vehemence that he could lick the in dividual who would dare to intimate that he was not the happiest man on the face of the earth. Then he gave Mrs. Harbi son a boarty smack on the mouth, and snatched up the heir, while that lady rushed tremblingly forth after Mrs. Sim mons, who lived next door. In a moment Mrs. Simmons came tearing in as if she had been shot out by a gun, and right behind her came Mrs. H. at a speed that indicated she had been ejected from two guns. Mrs. Siratnous at once snatched the heir from tho arms of Mr. IL and hurried it to the window, where she made a care ful and critical examination of its mouth, while Mrs. H. held its head, and tried to still the throbbing8 of her heart, and Mr. II. danced up and down aad snapped his fingers to show how calm he was. It hav ing been ascertained by Mrs. Simmons that the tooth was a sound one, and also that the strangest hopes for its futnro could be entertained on account of its com ing in the new of the moon,- Mrs. Harbison got out the necessary material, aud Mr. Harbison at once proceeded to write seven different letters to as many persons, un folding to them the event of the morning, and inviting them to come on as 60011 as possible.

James S. Brisbin gives' the follow ing sketch of the exploits of a noted fron tiersman. Tho incidents were related to tho General by Mr. Belden, the famous hunter, trapper, and guide of tho Plains : I was one of the first men in 1858 to ar rive at Pike's Peak. I came up from the Missouri with a friend of my father's, and we stopped at Denver, or rather, I should say, where Denver now is, for the cit was then composed of a few grog shops and shantlea. In one of tho mining camps I became acquaintedwith a fellow they called Bruiser Sam. Ho was a powerful manj and sometimes drank a great deal, but was always good ttmpered and kind hearted. The miners were a rough set in those days, and delighted in tho most brutal of sports. Prize fighting was one of their pastimes, aud at this Bruiser Sam excelled no man in all the camps being able td 6tand up long before him. His feats of strength were prodigious. Often would he take a barrel of liquor by the chimes, and knock ing out the bung, lift it up and drink from the holc5 as easily as if it was a small keg. Then he would stand on a box twelve inch es high and lift 180 pounds with his teeth. Ho could pick up a three-bushel bag of flour with hTs month, and carry it a rod. One day a saloon keeper offended Sam, and to havo revenge he went out into the street, and, shouldering a large work horse, car ried it into the saloon, leaving tho enraged , barkeeper to get it out aud down the steps i as best he could. At another time he car ried a rock Into the store and dropped it through the lloor. A HERCULES. Sam's 6kin was as white and smobUi as a girl's ; but all over his arms, shoulders, and broad chest were bunches of knotty muscles as large as one's fist. He was a well-built and fine look iug man, his waist being remarkably small, his hips broad, the legs well set, and feet small. Onco his face was handsome, but whisky had bleared tho eyes, and the nose was pimpled and red ; still, Sam was a gooa-iooking man, and, wheu dressed up in a new buckskin suit with yellow fringe, and his long-, brown hair combed out in curls about his neck, ho was a picture of an athletic frontiers man. However, Sam was far,t degonerating into a loafer ; he had left off work and gone to living by his strength, just as thou sands of men live by their wits in great cities. Any one would, pay Sam's liquor to seo him lift a barrel . by the ends and drink from the bung hole ; aud occasion ally, by way of variety, he would shoulder a horse or a mule for a class of rum. Dissipation told rapidly on "Tho Man of oteel, as he was called, and when I saw him in the spring ho had delirium tremens, and it took five men to hold him. His frame was wasted away, the knots of sinews were gone, his chest drawn in, and the skin of his body scft. A BOUT WITH A PRIZE FIGHTER; It Was about this time an old English man named Jones arrived at the mines, and hearing of Sam, expressed a desire to stie him. Old Jones was a well-known prize fighter, but of late years had given up tho ring himself and turned trainer. Sam's fame excited the envy of old Jbnes, and ho 110 sooner saw him than he offered to fight Sam. The miners wero astonished and tried to dissuade Jones from his pur pose, but nothing would do but he must iiavo a bout with Sam. So the day was set. Sam was sick on tho mornintf of the fight and looked badly enough, but bets ran two to one on "lhe Man or Steel," against the Englishman. Tlino was called and the Englishman bounded into tho ring, while Sam came up slowly, and looked languid and feeble ; but at the very first pass ho hit John Bull between the eyes, aud no amoiint of springing and bathing Could induce him to stand upon his legs again that day. It was feared Sam had broken the Englishman's skull, but he got about in a day or two, and soon afterward both he and Sam disappeared from tho sa loons. The barkeepers were astonished. Sam did not come around any mora for his grog, and no one could imagine where he bad gone or what he wasjat. Foul play was beginning t be suspected, when it leaked out that Sam was in training, and that the Englishman was his trainer. After old Jones got that awful lick from Sam's brawny fist, he gave him uo peace Until ho agreed to go into training and accompany the Englishman to England, there to fight the giants of the prize ting. Jones had not much money, but at his instigation a man named Dunham camo over with plen ty of cash, and as soon as Dunham came Jones quit, and tho new Englishman be came his trainer. A NICE if AN TO TR.tfN. I saw Sam once whilo ho was in train ing, and he looked well ; the knots were on his arms again, and tho great chest round and firm, lie had bcn at his gum balls, sand bags and dumb bells about six weeks when, one morning, he got mad about something, knockd both Dunham and old Jones down, and made his escape from his keepers into the street. Stopping at the saloons and- taking several drinks, he did not forget it was his hour for train ing, and amused himself by knocking down every stout looking fellow he met. Final ly, after the Sheriff and half tho town had been whipped, Sam was captured and put into jail : but here a new aifficultv nro sented itself, for the jail was not a strong one, and Sam swore that he would instant ly tear it down if they did not let him out, On promising that he would go straight to his IodcnnirK. the door was oncned. and Sam kept his word, for ho went directly homo and retired to bed. This outbreak was so unlike Sam's natural disposition that every oho was at a loss to account for it; and, soon afterward, another ebullition of nassion occurrintr, Tho Man of bteel trainers abandoned him in disgust, ,and took themselves off Last, each carrying with him. as a Dartinsr irift from 5am, a pair of black eyes and a swollen noso. GOING FOR A GRIZZLY BEAR. At this time a numborof shoulder-hitters and desperadoes arrived at the mine'!', and gave Sam some trouble; but he finally con quered them all, and as tho last fellow got ficked lie exclaimed : "Well, if you can lick me you can't lick a grizzly learr' Sam swore he could Hck agrizzlv boar, id that single-handed, aluuv - Tuiu ngbt one b ne. There wm a grizzly in the camp that ad been caught by the miners when a cub, and raised by th&m. The bear was now nearly full grown, and altho' a great powerful brttte, was quite tame and harm' less. It was not long before some wretch es had arranged a fight between the dumb beast nnd Bruiser Sam. and tho day was set, Tn bear was to be chained to a treo by tho neck, and Sam was to fight him for one hour with his naked fists. Sam again tvent into training, with Jim Peyton for his trainer, and long before the da." f the fight Peyton reported that his pupil was iu splendid condition; and "would As soon fight as go a fishing." The day came, and with it a reat crowd. The bets were three to ono on Sam; and many really beliovod ho would whip the boar. Poor Bruin a great, shaggy-coated fellow was tied to a stake by a chain twelve feet long, and was as good tempered as could be, standing on his hind legs, and scampering about with delight at the sight of so many people. Perhaps there was as littlo Of the real beast in J3ruin as therm, was iu many of the two-legged animals who came to see biri fight. The keepers of the boar began teasing and poking him with sharp poles and irons, and although ho took it quite coolly at first, lis after a whilo growled fiercely and tugged at his chain. Sam now appeared with his keep er, Peyton, and was received with loud cheers by tho human animals who wished to sco a man and a beast fight. TnE FIGHT. . Stepping into tho 1 incr; Sam prepared for battle, stripping off all Lis clothing; except his boots, pants and drawers. His broad chest contrasted strangely with the shaggy coat of the beast, as the two combatants stood glaring at eacli other. The intelli gent auunal seemed to understand the sit uation in a moment- and, Taisins on his legs, walked toward Sam, who tried to hit htm between the eyes, hoping to break his skull ; but, fail ins in this, ho stepped to one side, aud giving the bear a powerful blow,knocked uim down. Cheer aftri'Icbeer greeted Sam as ho stepped from the ring, and the msn who had bet On the bear real ly bean to fear they would lose their mon ey, rive minutes were allowed between the rounds, and the baiters poked the beast vigorously all the tiaic; so that when Sam came up again he was iu a towering passion. The moment. Sam crossed tho riiir the bear recognized him and bounded the full longth of the chain. So great Was the rage of the beast that tho people drew back in horror, and even Sam grew pale. Again the bear leaped forward, and taking I11S chain in his paws, attempted to break it. l or a tiu.o it resisted all his efforts, but as length snapped in twairi; and the affright ed people dashed terror-stricken from the plain. TnE End. The bear dashed upoii Sam, who bravely stood his ground, and actually succeeded in felling the beast to the earth, but in do ing so lost his balance, and before he could escape the bear caught him with one claw, and hitting him on the face with the other, broke tho poor fellow's jaw. Still Sam foright on with his jaw hanging upon his breast and blood spirting from a dozen wounds. It was terrible ; but, of course, the beat won, kuocking Sam down finally and tearing open his chest with its sharp claws. By this time the people had got guns and returned to the field, where they fired volley after volloy into poor Bruin vihtil ho lay quite, still ; and Sam was dead too, and they took hp his body and the car cass of the bear and buried them both. And thus ended Bruiser Sam and his grizzly-bear fight, which was perhaps the only prize beat fight ever fought in the world. A Strange StcJrt. A North German paper rscently contained an advertisement addressed to the he.irs of Catharine Speling and her daughter Dorothy, both of whom died violent deaths in Amsterdam in 18o2. Connedted with the .death of these two women tho following is related :.T The wid ow, Catharine Speljng, and her daughter Dorothy, were joint "possessors of dia monds, money and bonds worth $150,000, and occupied a house by themselves on llarjand St., Amsterdam. One day in the summer of 1S52 a placard appeared on theii' door saying they had gVho to tho country Six weeks rolled around, and still the pla card remained on the door. Tho suspicions of tho police were aroused by the long ab sence of the women, and thejious was entered. The placard was found to be a fearful deception : "the lnxlies of the two women were found on the floor, thoir dia monds missinc and no clue to tho murder er and thief discovered.. In July last tho honso was torn down and in its destruction camo to light a circumstance equaling In horror tho discovery of tho assassination of the two lone women. Between tho house taken down and tho adjoining ono was a spaco of about a foot, and confined In this narrow cell was found the skeleton of a man, caught midway between the top and bottom, and on the ground beneath him were found the diamonds, the bonds and the money of the two murdered- Wo men.
