The vault has been, without oception, largely to their advantage Indeed; a largo and successful business can hardly be' con ducted now witlfont frequent 'comniu nication with' the'idblie 'through • oral adiertisonients. _OE course it is our inteiest=to say so—but= is it' any the less the truth because we say it? Do not'liVe businessmen knoiv it and prove it in their own . experience ? An advertisement is certainly. a general inyitation•from a manufacturer or tra der to the public to give him a call, and the small outlay which it involves cannot possibly be any groat con sideration to a: business man. An ari vertisemon t judiciously worded, and inserted in the journal that will give it the greatest direct circulation to those whom it is intended, will assur edly pay. Advertising columns are sometimes compared (rather irreverent ly perhaps) to Jacob's ladder, reaching from the eiteth of aCspolidency, to the heaven of success. There is • much truth in the comparison, as ad- Mit who have tested the utility 'of ma king known their business in the dew's papers. MEI A dwelling house in Juniata town ship, occupied by Harrison Speck, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning last, about 10 o'clock, together with the most valuable contents. The fam ily had gbno to a neighbor's a short time before. The fire originated from a stove pipe passing through the roof. Mr. Speck's loss is not less than five hundred dollars. ANOTHER —The house of John B. Shonefelt, in Cromwell township, this county, was totally consumed by fire on last Friday afternoon. lts con tents were partially saved. 'The fire originated in the garret from the stove pipe. Loss $2OOO. No insurance. —Two fires in ono week, entailing a loss of MOO, und•b oth the result of running store pipes through the roof, should be a sufficient warning •to ail others to dispense with them at once and erect brick flues. It is a fact that nearly all the fires that have occurred in the rural districts in our county were occasioned by stove pipes. We hope we have chronicled the last. Let none fancy themselves secure because they have escaped so long, for there is great danger in stove pipes. • Huntingdon County.
