at about 2 o'clock. The entire crop of this
season, excepting one field ot wheat was
destroyed, together with seven head of

supposed was set on fire, and had just been
built, as a fire bad destroyed the burn on

A NEW FEATCRE. —An important
change has been made by the Legislature
in the granting of letters of administra
tion. Hereafter all executors or parties
applying to the Register for letters of ad
ministration must make an affidavit before
that officer, setting forth as nearly as pos
sible the day and hour of tho decedent's
death, before letters will be granted. It
will be well enough, therefore, for parties
applying for letters of administration lo
bear this fact in iniad and ascertain the
precise hour when death occurred.
— A CORRECTION —We among many
others of the newspaper fraternity were
led into error fh stating some time since
that an important change bad been made
in tbc defining the rigli's of landlords and
tenants, which purported to. be "an act ex
empting property from levy and sale on
the executions and distress for rent, etc.,"
virtually repealing the S3CO exemption
law of 1849. Such a bill was before tbe
legi-laturc, but was not passed last winter,
as slated, and as the ; üblicalion may lead
to misapprehAision and difficulty, we
tuake the correction for the benefit of
all wbom it may concern. The law re

of rye, 3,(00 bushels of other grain, and
about 100 barrels of prime flour, all of

Postoffice which occupied a portion of the
the building Hagerty's mill was one of
the in si widely known in Central Penn

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

we have not had a Senator for many years . true, that
we are the central county in the distm t . but are the*#
sufficient grounds upon which to accept a man of In
ferior ability. Until wo present a person as well, or
better, qualified than ary other section of the district,
we don't deserve the nomination, and I am con&dent
that Centre County Democrats are patriotic enough
not to desire It.
There la one point that I would esiwn iallr urge uimn '
the Democrats of the County, which In the peat boa
been too little Inflated upon, viz let the County Con
rent lon. not the candidate* select the conferee* The
latter plan her "been tried about frequently enough In
prore it* Inefficiency. We should send men to meet
the other counties who will be the repn-srnUtlve* of
the democracy of the county, and not of a particular
individual,-- men who in raaea M emergency, will
hare power to act for the beat lntereats of the party
We bare sent wwdrn men to conferee meetings too
long for our own good . and, perhaps. If we took some
different plan in this direction, we would not foreier
be complaining of not baring had such and such an
office for yearn. The new plan will be equally fair for
the candidates, aa we could Instruct them if that were
necessary • ai d there can be little doubt that It would
be much fairer for the party at large.
Another matter that I would urge upon th* town
ahlp* is to send their best men as delegates, and not
to load tbern down with instructions. Select good men,
of sound judgment, who have tbo best interests of the
part j at heart, and there will be no occaalon to Instruct
them for every office from Congressman down to Audi
tor. You need have no fears that such men will fall to
do that which will best promote the welfare of the
whole party And unless you do sllow them some free
dom of action, you might as well send wooden men for
all the good they can do. Recent events In the party's
history have, 1 think, fully impressed us with the In
expediency of this wholesale instruction business , snd
it is an open question whether the party would not be
benefitted by amending our rules in this particular
After the third ballot instructions should not b bind
ing , and if the best men were always chosen as dele
gat* there would be no necessity for any instructions,
as the abuse* to which they ore subject for more than
couateroalsnce the benefits accruing from them.
I hope the Democrats of the county will consider
these suggestion*!, and. If they find them well-founded,
act upon them. We have been in power so long that
we are apt to be careless in regard to our internal or
ganization We have relieved the county from the
embarrassments into which it had been plunged by
republican pilferers and plunderers ; now let us spare
no efforts to preserve what we have achieved.

Our Soniitorul District.
MR Kt>n Oß A person from your
township, last week wrote it letter to out
paper, '.He Berivhtcr, in which he advo
cates propositions, in which tunny demo
crats of this taction cannot concur,* al
though soma things he saya are un<|uc*-|
tionnldy true. 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

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. The writ aide of Wabash
avenue i* now in full blase, which Lake*
many a llately building in ila course and
which olfered u haven of refuge in the
winter of 1871.
The tire i* jutl immediately in rear of
the First Baptist church and should that
tructure go downthe tire will have a clear
sweep to the northward and eastward
and the exposition .buildit g will in all
likelihood be the final prey of the fire, and
as that is immediately on the lake shore
there will be nothing for the fire to teed
upon, provided we have the good fortune
not Jo have a change in tho wind.
The roar of the advancing furnace has
the sound of cur old calamity and noth
ing short of final plunge into Lake Michi
gan w ill (jucncb it. 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. M. —As expected, tho fire swept in
to and over the elegant First Baptist
church on Wabash avenue.
A it was very evident)frcm about half
past MX o'clock that our post office build
ing win doomed, the mail* were at once
removed. Alien minutes past eight o'-
clock (he building caught tire, and by
half-past eight it was a mass of flames.
The wind hy eight o'rlock had almost
died away, which assisted our tiro depart
ment greatly iti becoming master of the
situation.
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
