It will be remembered that the building, last summer, was badly uaged by a storm, and the refitting was about completed, at the time above Marred to, when one of the painters, on going to his dinner, laid his lighted pipe! in a corner ef one of the pews, which took I fire and on his return found a large por tion ef the seat burned. But for this timely discovery the church might now be a heap of ashe*. Another lesson to teach us of th* danger ef being carelo** i with lighted pi pes.and cigars.

A report from Uarrisburg says that Or vis will be supported by the democrat* for speaker of the heuse. Since the above vras set, we leara that Mr. Orvis was nominated for Speaker by the democratic caucus. Tbe republicans contend for tbe election of a U. S. Senator, this session, in place of Scott, under the new Constitution, while the democrats asaert it balougs ta tha next session. President Grant has done one good thing, for which all democratic papers give hirn credit—he has appointed Caleb Cushing minister to Spain, in place of the fop Sickles. Then he has done a vary bad thing for which no democratic paper and not one half ef his ewn organs give him credit—this is tbe nomination of corrupt and unfit Williams to he chief-justice. The radical senate has not yet confirmed Williams, and tha country will rejoice if that body holds out in its refusal to do so.

During tbo pommbulntion* of bis party iboy bod on Opportunity of forming opin ion* as to tbo slaughter of tbo bison on tbo plain*. On tbo south fork of tbo Re publican tboy canto upon one spot where were counted 6,600 carcasses of buffalo from ssbicb tbo bides only bad been strip* pod. Tbo meat was not touched, and * left torot upon the plains. On a short dis tance further on hundreds utoro of ca ■* casset wore discovered and in fact the plains wore literally dotted with pulrify iag buffalo carcasses. On tbo Rickaree River, which lie* between the two forks of the Republican, the camp* of buffalo hunters were of frequent occurrenco. Mr. Lessig estimates that there are at least S,CCO hunters in camps aloog there wailing for the buffalo. lie cam# across one party [ of sixteen wbo stated that they killed 28,0(4) buffaloes during the past summer, the bide* of which only were utilised. If I sixteen hunters can kill Ibis number of animals, bow grtat must be the slaughter upon the broad ailcnt oftbe bison rsnge? Evidently millions of the animal* must bava beea killad duriag tba past summer alone. Mr. Leesig says there are no buf ( falos to be seen on the plains, except dead f on#*, and that bunt ae muck ae they may the sportsmen cannot s. present find any gama. Tae value oftbe hides has deteri orated considerably, owing to tha great . incraasa of tbe article in the market ( Heretofore tbey were worlb $3 delivered - at the railway stations, while new a die ' tinclion is made as to the sixe and paid for accordingly. The hides of bull* bring but fl, those of cows CO cents, and calves 40 cents. At these rstes even the hunters tsy it psys very well. But even at these low rate* the hunters will have to scratch to maka their grub. For Mr. Lessig says tha buffalo are nowhere to be found. They say they are wailing for tba buffaloes but tbey will have to wait for a long time. There are but few tobreed from, and, evan if tha animals are not completely annihi lated, it will be many yaars baforo tbey regain even a tithe of their tiumber* of the past two years, before the indiscriminate j slaughter began.
