The dwelling house on the farm of Jeremiah Kline, iu lirushvalley. about 6 | miles east of tiii? place, was entirely des troyed by Ere en last Saturday morning, atom I o'clock Nothing of much account wa- -aved, except a bureau and contents, an ß day o clock, sewing machine, large cherry dinning table, and scarcely any of their clothing. The house was occu pied bv Mr. Levi Long, tenant on the Sarin, and as he had taken particular pre cautions against tire the evening before, he cannot account for it otherwise than that it originated from the chimney. Mr. Long had no insurance upon his per sona! property, and the loss is a severe one for him. DISASTROUS FIRK.-We regret to learn that the extensive flouring mill of Ilagerty A Stewart at Union Furnace, near Spruce Creek, or? tho Pennsylvania railroad, i:i Huntingdon county, together with all its contents wus totally destroyed by Cre to weeks ago. There was stored in the mill at the time some 0.000 bu-hels of w l.cat. l.ftO bushels of corn. 1,000 bushels of rye, 3,(00 bushels of other grain, and about 100 barrels of prime flour, all of which were burned, together with the books of the mill and the Union Furnace Postoffice which occupied a portion of the the building Hagerty's mill was one of the in si widely known in Central Penn sylvania, the flour manufactured there being of the best quality and eagerly sought after by ail good housekeepers. In addition to the burning of the mtll and its contents, a pig-sty was consumed and se ven hogs burned to death. There was no insurance on the mill property consequent ly it is a total 10.-s, the insurance havjng run out about a year ago The loss will fall heavily upon Mr. Hagerty who was the sole owner of the mill. Tho total loss will roach $20.000. Mr. llMgerty formerly resided at Janesville, in this county, and is well known to many ot our citizens, who deeply sympathize with him in his less. for th Reporter.

After speaking of the sit ttatien and treatiucut of our county in her former Senatorial relation*, h say* "We never could get another nontina tion in the old district, a* the counltet alonjt the line of the Juniata \alle> com bitted against us. We are now fortunately i in a new district, cut ft" troui all our old t associate*, in wlnch Centre county i> tlie Central county, not only geographically, but alto in political Important* wclkm fore liave a reatonable hope of faring hit ler in our now district." In order to appreciate the ludicrcu>ia of the conclusion which the writer ilrawf from these premise*, namely, that Mr Meek should be nominated lor the Senate, it is necessary to remember who is enti tled to the blame or credit of making these districts From time immemorial, prior to 1804, Centre was connected with Clin ton, Lycoming and other counties on the West Branch for .Senatorial purpose* In order to overslaugh the democratic major ilies in these counties, the Republican ma jority in the Legislature of let>4 broke up these ancient senatorial relation*, by put ting Lycoming with Cnion and Snyder, C.inton with Fotter, McKcan, Catueron and Tioga, and Centre with Blair, Hun tington, Mitßiti, Juniatta and Ferry, against the protest of our reprcsctitalix e. C r Alexander. Ne democrat was respon sible for this, a* it was done by our etie mirs in order to swamp the democracy ot Central Pennsylvania. The result * not what the republicans expected. John Wails. John B Beck and A H Dill were respectively elected senator in the l.ycom lug district- all democrats. In the unna tural double district in which we were placed, our candidates in 1h64, Messrs. Christy and Walters were elected, but counted out by the soldier vote. lit I!W7 our candidates, Shugert and Mvlntyre were elected and returned, but Mr. Sbu gert was turned out of his seat by a packed and perjured committee of the Senate. Iu 1870 our candidates Fetrican and Crawford were elected by such large majorities that they were not interfered w tth. Those re sults convinced the republicans that they could not so gerrymander the state as to prevent the democrats of the central coun ties from electing a senator, and they therefore in the apportionment of 1871 con ceded us a democratic district. Knowing that the apportionment would be made by the legislature elected in the fall of 1870, our people were anxious to have an experienced and competent repre sentative, who would be able to secure us fair and proper districts. The friends of Mr Meek urged his nomination on this ground. Ho had already served two years in tho House, and his admirers claimed that he pos-es-cd more ability, tact and influence than any of hU then competitors Principally because ot these claims he was nominated and elected, and if he did not or could not control the making of our own senatorial district, his constituents were deceived a* to his capacity and influence. He was in the minority it is true, but as the district was to be democratic, the majority had but little interest in the quotion of what counties should compose it, and I atn told that in such cases the representa tives of the minority, if they are men of standing and influence, are permitted to arrange tho districts concedes! to them lo suit themselves. Probably trtry one of Mr. Meek t constituents at that time, de sired to have Centre county severed from 1 the unnatural, unsatisfactory and unpleas ant connection in which she had been placed in 1864. Mr Meet knew that no aspirant for senatorial honors in the coun- ty except himself, affilliated with the de mocracy of the Juniatta Valley, and therefore that no Centre county candidate could be nominated in the Senatorial con ference. unless he himself wa presented by this county. Acting upon this belief, disregarding the withes of all his constitu ents, and looking only to bis own future advancement, he connected us in a sena torial district with Huntingdon, Mifflin and Juniata, throe counties from which our people unanimously wished to be de tached. 1 .-ay he formed the district, fur lam willing to concede the capacity and influence claimed for him by his fiiends. Neither do I complaiu that be in this in stance acted for his own good instead of representing the interest of his cen-titu ents. This seems to be natural, and in iiime degree the common failing of all our representatives. In accordance with Mr Meet's plans found in 1871, ho was a can didate tor Senator last year, and having no opposition carried th> county unani mously, but was defeated in conference by a providential interference. His friend Gen. James Burns, upon whom he relied to manipulate the Juniata Valley, wa in tho early part of the canvass struck down by paralysis, and being thus inca pacitated to take tho field in person, his own county of Miffiin was carried by his enemy "Honest Joe Waream," who de feated Meek in conference. Thus was again illustrated the proposition of anoth er ;Burns--"thc Ibest laid plans of mice and men gang alt Kglee." That Centrttcuunty now occupies a cen tral and commanding position in demo-i cratic senatorial and congressional dis tricts is due to the efforts of our last repre sentative, Judge Orvis. Ido not think, however, that he is entitled to much credit for this, for though he may havo no scna loiialor cor.gre-.ional aspirations, these districts were made in connection with the judicial district, which was undoubt edly designed to furnish him with a nice place for the'next ten years. He will bo lucky if his calculations do not turn to ashes as Mick's did. The principal point, however, in the let- t< r of your citizen, from whicli I, in cum min with many drinocra's of thin locality, dis*ent, is contained in the latter part of the communication. In speaking of Mr. Meek'* services during the wnr, (not as u substitute broker) he say*:—"lt i true there wero others in Centre county as brave and true a* he, but owing to Mr. Week's position as the editor of the party organ, he occupied the point of personal danger, atid the drmorratir party ran nrtrr pay him the debt of gratitude and eon)i denee, that it hit due''—ergo, be should not only be nominated for tho senate now, at the sacrifice of an experienced states man like lion W. A. Wallace, but should be kept in office as long as he wishes to be, which, if we are to judge of tho future by the past seven years, would be perpetual ly ! A gamut all such übrurd nonienie, 1 for one enter my solemn protest. No man i ever did more than his duly to the demo-! critic parly; and the party consequently I owes no "debt of irratitudo" or otherwise, j to any one, in the sense that would entitle! that one to be (riven an office us a reward far party services. This doctrine oi the| claims of individuals upon parties, is the curse of modern politics. In consequence of it, offices originally designed for the public good have been prostituted to mere personal ends. Incapacity, infidelity and 1 venality have become the characteristics of too many public officers, in place of capacity, honesty and integrity, the stand ard set up by the founder of our party. Every one who believes in democratic principlesshouldvote for competent candi dates who will carry them out, and who ever possesses the ability should advocate these principles with voice and pen. Whoever neglects or refuses to do this much comes short of his obligations to the state, and he who does this much, only does his duty Htid is entitled to no other compensation than the privilege of living under a good government wisely adminis tered. The democratic party of Centre county is not indebted to Meek, Orvis or Alcxan der, mul none of them should bo noni'im trd to any i rtli'n upon miy idea i l' grati tude for parly .ervices It'lho people are satisfied that they <>r any of tl.oin aroint lor qualified to discharge the duties of any office than other persons in Out district asking it, lot him or thorn ho nominated for tho public good, but not for his or then own benefit.

KKS.NCU. (HICAGO Another Great (onflaifration SEVERAL SQUARES BURNED. Large Amount of Property Pc*tr ired Chicago, July 14th, 7P. M Another conflagration i* raging in the heart of this city. The.fire slatted about half pas! tour this afternoon in tome small frame houses near Fourth avenue and Polk street It was first blown southward by a stiff breeze but the wind soon shifted and by sunset it blew a gale from the south, sending the fire toward the centre part of the ci!y. At half past sit o clock the flames had maJ< almost a clear sweep up to the corner of Third avenue and Polk street, burning up the houses ot thousands of people. At above corner the fire department com menced the process of blowing up builJ ings with gun powder, but the buildings experimented with were small wooden affairs and the process would only hav< the effect of making a quicker blaze of them. The wind ii blowing very fresh from about the southwest. The tire > now on the verge of the fire line of ear big tire at Harrison street.

Our streets within a mile of the conflagration are crowded with teams of i very description loaded to their utmost capacity with hou < held goods, al though storekeepers who are so fortunate as to secure it team are endeavoring to save their most valuable stock. Wherever a vacant space north of the fire can he found, it is at once filled with goods of all descriptions and varieties. Men, women and children are doing all they can to save their little all and bring 1 it to some place of safety. The principal lines of the Western l'ni-1 on telegraph company running east through State street, have all been burn ed but some forty wires. But as the lines' on Canal street arc out of possible danger! there will be no interruption of the tele graph communication The fire has bur/it over so fur aboutj half a utile in length and some four block in width, und although explosions of gun powder is still heard every little while, there is but little hopes of staying the fire short of the limits given above. lOr.

THE AREA BURNTOVER The Timos makes the following estimate of losses, which will bo found to be pretty nearly correct: The area burnt over cov ers fifteen squares, taking bits and half blocks here and there lumping the whole. The burnt aren is about hulf a mile long and a little less in width, and embraced the tumble-down shanties and palatial avenue residences. Clurk street—Loss $80,000; Fourth avenue, $176,000; Third avenue, $230,000; Stato street, 91,800,000; Wabash avenue, $1,700,000; Michigan av enue, $160,100; Taylor street, $60,000; Polk street, $60,000; Congress street, $76,- 000; Van Duron street, $50,000; the court house between Wabash avenue and State street, 160,000; total $4,026,000.
