ING to the WILDS OF CLEARFIELD ! Huntingdon County True to Her Ancient Faith "We Have met the Enemy and They are Ours !" LET THE BUNTING FLY ! Tho Democracy Gone Where the Woodbine Twineth---Everything is Lovely and the Goose Hangs High ! The State has gone Republican by about 20,000 ! It is reported that we have gain ed two Senators, one in Luzerne and the other in Cumberland, and six members.— If this is as reported, the work in the State is complete. Dean is elected Presi dent Judge by from 1200 to 1800. The entire county ticket is elected in majorities ranging from 250 to 800. Lane beats Africa handsomely, and everything is lovely. Republicans, you have done a good work ! Hurrah ! THE HUNTINGDON COUNTY AG RICULTURAL FAIR. The sensation of last week was the Huntingdon County Agricultural Fair.— Thousands of • persons visited it and were pleased and edified. It commenced on Tuesday morning, in a light sprinkle of rain, which lasted for an hour or two, and then ceased, and continued until Friday evening. The weather during Wednesday and Thursday was splendid, and the town and the surrounding country poured into the fair ground until it was almost a com pact mass of human beings. The yo•_ng and the old, the gay and the morose, the farmer and the mechanic, all found that which was "pleasant in their sight" and enjoyed the occasion splendidly. It was the first opportunity that we have had of, meeting, in a body, a large number of the citizens of this county, and we were pleas ed with our experience. The large num ber of robust ladies and portly gentlemen were in fine contrast W thn lelicate and nervous creatures which are generally to be seen on such occasions. We have, within the past few years, seen so many delicate women that we began to despair for the race, but since we have attended the Fair we are satisfied that Huntingdon county presents as fine specimens of healthy females as ever cur grand-mothers -were. We have changed our views on this subject. Unmarried young men wilt make a note of this: . The exhibition was the finest that we have ever seen at a County Fair, and re flects great credit upon the exhibitors and superintendents of the various departments; in fact in the departments of fruit and vegetables, we have never seen a State Fair that has exhibited better and larger quantities. The department of fruit, es pecially apples, won universal praise. We found a number cf varieties with which we were unacquainted, but all were of the largest and beet quallity. The soil where these fine specimens were grown certainly must be splendidly adapted to fruit cul ture. We learned that the finest speci mens were raised in the sandy hills that surround Huntingdon, if this is so, it would be well for the people living in these ridges to turn their attention to rais ing fruit much more extensively than they do. They are convenient to market and it always commands a ready sale. And this is also true in regard to potatoes. The specimens upon exhibition were very fine —the largest we ever saw. The object of Fairs is to aseertein what particular thing can be produced in the best paying quan tities. This being the case, the exhibition of fruits and vegetable indicate that they will pay better than any other of the usual products, and, if we are right in this, far mers should turn their attention in this direction immediately. Fruits and vege tables can be consigned to Commission Merchants in the east, who can sell them for the highest price the market will af ford, at a very reasonable expense. We would repeat that farmers should carefully observe that to which their• soil is best adapted, and take advantage of the infor mation thus acquired. All the other departments of the Fair were well filled and gained the encomiums of all the appreciative. The order on the ground was admirable. Too much praise cannot be given the officers for their zeal and efforts to make it a success. They complain, however, that not a few purcha sers ,of family tickets sold them out to other parties, who used, or endeavored to use them, thus perpetrating a fraud upon the Society. We are requested not to give names, but in the future, if this thing should be repeated, they intend to make an example. Everything pertaining to it passed off quietly, and we have no doubt tams• next. year's Fair is to be held hun dreds of new exhibitors will be found to enter the lists who have heretofore refused to participate. tft. We have only space to say that the Fire . Fiend has been arrested in Chi cago, edd that the people are responding to the cry for help from all sections of the Union.

THE TARIFF ON PIG IRON Now that the "Bureau of Statistics," at Washington, has compiled and published a book containing the rates of duties under the several Tariffs from 1798 to 1870, the opponents of a protective tariff can no long er say. with safety from exposure, as they have hitherto been doing, that the tariff on pig iron is higher than it ever was pre vious to 1861 The tariff is lower on pig iron to-day, than at any time previous, within fifty years, with perhaps an excep tion of three years. Here are the differ ent tariffs, as given on the official authority of the Statistical Bureau: EDITOR Tariff of 1816, duty $lO.OO per ton.

On Wednesday last, while some men were engaged in erecting a large frame shed for Mr. Elrod Johnson, in Lop'hen na township, Westmoreland county, and when they were about putting the plate in its place the whole frame gave way and fell to the ground, carrying with it some fifteen or twenty men who were on it. Sev eral of the men were badly injured, but none fatally. Mr. Frank Byers, near West Lebanon, Indiana county, met with a fatal accident on Saturday last. It appears that on the morning above mentioned, Mr, Byers, in company with a little son, aged four years, started to the woods to get some grapes.— They shortly found a vine on a very high tree and Mr. B. ascended some forty-five feet, and in moving about slipped off a limb and fell to the ground, and expired soon after. The house of Mr. Adam Sipe, of Lan caster township, Butler county, was broken into and robbed of fifty dollars a few days ago, and Mr. Sipe and his wjfe, both aged persons, brutally abused. They had retired and were in bad when the burglars enter ed by forcing open a door with a rail. The old man was struck in the face and stun ned, and the old lady, in their attempt to smother and quiet her with a bolster, was also severely scratched and turn on her face and neck. THE_ FIRE FIEND Mau a Boot of Flamo! Several Blocks of the City Destroyed ! Destruction of Lumber and Coal Yards ! CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—The most terrible conflagration that ever occurred in this city broke out about an hour and a half ago, and having already swept over six entire blocks, is still raging with almost unabated fury. The fire started in a large planing mill situated between Clinton, Canal, Van Buren and Jackson streets. The wind was blowing very fresh, and the flames spread with almost indescribable rapidity, and in a few moments the entire structure was a mass of fire. The immedi ate vicinity is built up mainly with small wooden tenement houses and two-story frame buildings, occupied as groceries, saloons, &e. The inmates of many of these houses were startled from their slum bers, and had barely time to rush from the houses in scanty attire, leaving their household goods to destruction. In sever al instances children were hastily wrapped in blankets and quilts to break the force of their fall and were thrown from second story windows to the ground. When the alarm sounded for the fire, another of considerable magnitude was burning on Wells street, near Adams. Several engines were necessarily kept at work all the time. The rest of the engines in the city were soon on the ground, but before they arrived the fire had spread over so large an area and was so rapidly spreading, that all efforts seemed of little avail. Between Canal street and the river were several lumber yards, which are entirely destroyed. At this hour the fire hall made a clean sweep from Vanßuren north two Weeks to Adams, and west to Clinton, three blocks from the river. The warves between Van Buren and Jackson are burning, and the woodwork of the western approach to the Adams street bridge is destroyed. A large coal yard, containing thousands of tons of soft coal, and situated between the tracks of the Chicago and Alton anti Itittsburg ant} Fort Wayne Railroad tracks and the river, is on fire and burning furiously. The im mense grain elevator of Vincent, Nelson & Co., one of the finest in the city, is near ly adjoining, and though intended to be fire-proof, there seams to be little doubt but that it will he destroyed, as the intense heat to which it is subjected will crack the slate with which it is covered—both roof and sides. It contains many thousand bushels of grain of all kinds. The depot of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi cago, A.lton and St. Louis Railroads, is situated north of Adams and between Canal and the river. One of the build ings, a light wooden structure, and occu pied as an express office, was in flames at midnight and is undoubtedly destroyed. . . The' scenes in the vicinity of the confla gration are indescriable. Half the popu lation of the city seems gathered there. Tugs on the river are engaged in towing to places of safety the vessels moored in the neighborhood, while locomotives are hastily pulling oat the great number of cars standing on the track in the path of the flames. At this writing it is impossible to give an estimato of the losses, but they are al ready very large, and the #re appears to be scarcely checked. So far as could be as eertained when our reporter left the scene of fire ' no lives are known to be lost, yet it will be miraculous if such should prove to bp the case. _ _ . LATER:I;2O N.—The fire is appar ently raging fiercly, as over a t)lock pf buildings on the north side of vat ? Buren street, which it was thought an hour ago would be saved, are now wrapped in flames. The elevator is safe so fkr, and the fire seems to be spreading South and West. The blazing buildings light the streets one-half mile away, so that one can easily see to read. The entire fire department are now on the ground and making almost superhu man efforts to sta the fl ames. Losses will pro bably already rtin Into millions; and the end is not yet. CHICAGO, October B.—About one o'clock this morning, shortly after send ing the last dispatch detailing the pro gress of the fire in the western division, the flames were arrested and under com plete control of the fire department, an 4 am now enabled to give a more intelligent and greatly modified estimate of their de vasting effects. The space burned over embraces four blocks, bounded on the north by Adams street, on the west by Clinton, on the south by Van Buren and on the east by the Chicago river. Some four or five buildings within the limits named remain uninjured, among them Vincent, Nelsen 4 Co.'s grain ware house, one of the lirgeist in the pity, whieh eseap, ed without any serious damage. This is duo to the fact that piles of anthracite coal lay between the burning buildings and the elevator, and by the continual ap plication of large quantities of water on the coal piles they were prevented from burning. The grounds burned over were covered over with lumber yards, coal yards, wood yards, a planing mill box factory, vinegar factory, &c., and a large number of dwell ings and saloons, of the poorer classes. A close eptireate of the entire loss places it at from $250,000 to $300,000, with probably one-half that insurance. The fire had its origin in Lull &Holme's I plaining mill, on Canal street, near Van Buren, and as the wind was fresh from the South, the flames spread North quite rap idly, and thence East, and within the space of 4 half an hour the whole district named was all ablase, and by nne o'clopk, or within two hours after the fire com menced the work was ended. The following are the leading sufferers by the fire : On Canal street, as stated, the fire originated in Lull & Holmes planing mill, loss $3O, 000, with au insur ance of about $12,000. In the rear of the mill, was Forties box factory, loss $3OOO insured one lialf; the next following are the Excelsior Viegar works beonging to J. Waigle, loss $12,000. Next come the Racine House, loss small ; and then fol lowed the Union Wagon works, loss $17,- 000, insurance $6,000. John Sheuff & Son's, lumber yard, loss $65,000, insur ance $35,000. Chapin & Foss, Shingle factory, loss $50,000, insurance $12,500. B. Hobrook's coal yard, loss $36,000 in surance $23,000. Wilmington Coal Company, loss $30,000 insurance $20,000. Blacksmith shop of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company, loss $4,000. . On Clinton street, with but a single ex ception, the buildings destroyed were of thnpoorer class, and owned by IJall, Lan der & Randall, Ron. B. C. Farwell and A. Watson. The most serious loss on this street was that of Baltzer & Co., wagon makers, who suffer about $B,OOO loss, with only a light insuyanee, , . On Jackson, ten houses owped by A. Sanson Watson, and occupied by twenty families, who lost all they had. The bal ance of the losses on this street embraced dwelling houses and shops numberingfrom fifty-one to sixty-seven. The total loss gn this street will not probably exceed $20,. 000, with not over one-fourth insured. On Van Buren street only three or four houses were burned, and they were of small value. The iron viaduct leading to the Adams street bridge was damage to the extent of one thousand dollars, and the track of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, and Chicago and St. Louis Railroads, which run right through the burnt district, were damaged probably to the extent of $2,000 or $3,000. The saddest result of this fire was the burning to death of Mrs. Marga ret Hadley, living on the north side of Jackson street, who being suddenly sur rounded by the flames, was unable to es cape. Her remains were burned to cinder, and were found this morning in the place where she was last seen, in her house. It is impossible to learn the exact amount of insurance and the names of the companies that are victims. The entire insurance will probably fall below one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, proba bly two-thirds of the amount in Chicago offices. Among the outside companies which suffer are the Teutonia and Hiber nia, of Cleveland; Buffalo Western and the Buffalo Fire and Marine ; Alps, of Erie ; Andes, of Cincinnati ; Pacific and Union, of San Francisco; Knickerbocker, Republic, and Firemans, of New York; Lycoming, of Philadelphia._ ° Csicitiio, October 8: 11:30 P.M.—The fire to-night in the first division is now raging with unabated fury. It commenc ed near Taylor street, between Delevan and Jefferson, and is spreading in every direction, and covers at least ibur blocks at this hour, and it still seems beyond con trol, Two ,en Caught in the Oct of Firing Rouses on the West Side—=They are mediately Jiang. Two men caught in the act of firing houses on the west side were arrested im mediately and hung to the lamp post, one on Twelfth street near the river, and the other three miles away, on Clayborne ave nue, on the north side. This summary action has checked the thrice murderers. St. Louis and other cities have apparent ly restored eonfidence. The Cincinnati train arrived this morning with four en gines, three from this city, and one from Dayton. They were seventeen hours on the way, having to change the route twice, and finally came via Piqua and Logans port. .cater from UhicaO—Spread of the Fire —The Mouth Divisioit iTh Ruins, OFIICAGO, Oct. 1.0.-3forning.—The aw ful fire still rages. Thus far, the south division is swept nearly clean from the river to the lake, and to the north of Har rison street. The north division is in ruins for a distance of nearly two mites. The west division is also terribly devasta ted. 4. strong wind is now raging, and the whole city is in danger of total des. , truction. Several churches on Wabash avenue and elsewhere have been destroyed, and the last of the great hotels, the Palmer house, has been consumed. The extensive dry goods houses of Field, Lester k Co„ Far well & Co., Hamlin & Co., and, in fact, every store of any note in the south divi sion is gone. The suffering among the thousands of homeless people is intense, and it is feared that many will starve un less further prompt relief is rendered. Chicago is utierly ruined. Thousand* are leaving the city by every available convey ance. Good .News—The Fire Out. ST. LOUIS, Oct I.o.—Te!egraphic 'com munication was opened with Chicago this morning. A he — avy rain fell there last niFht, and the fires are extinguished. firompt 071,1 Liberal Action of the Penn. sylvania Railroad Coni:pany: We take pleasure in making public the fact that the Pennsylvania railroad com pel)), telegraphed the Mayor of Chicago eerly on Moriday . morniug that their agents at St. Louis, Cincinnati, Colum bus, I'ittsburgh, and all intermediate points, would furnish free transportation to Chicago for all donations of supplies for the sufferers from the fire. The Mayor has also been telegraphed that all dona tions of supplies from Philadelphia, Bal timore, New York, and intermediate points, would be shipped free by the Pennsylva nia railroad company. Qrigin of the Fire. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—A special dis patch from Chicago says: Fire proof buildings burned like tinder, especially the banks, not one of which remains. Few business houses saved even their papers, The whole population was busy :11l eigkt, and the streets are now like a bivouaek with sleeping ulen. The loss of life is impossible to estimate. The shipping ordered into the North branch of the river was sent adrift into Lake Michi gan. Many vessels were burned. All business is suspended, and must remain so for the present. Tremendous efforts were made to save the Tribune and Post, as well as the City Ilall and Government buildings. Nothing remains but blacken ed stores and crackling 9indors. No pa, pers can be published until type comes from elsewhere, as the type foundries are also burned. 'The origin of the fire was in a stable where a woman took a kerosene lamp at milking time. A large number of the fire men were killed, and all did their duty nobly; but streams of water to the burning blocks wore like fountain jets against the awful heat of the conflagration. The new hotel, eight or nine stories high, just com pleted, sent up pyramids of solid flame, making the water of Like Michigan ruby oolored for miles, the burning bridges along the river swinging a graceful arch of fire from shore to shore. The burning ships sailed in crimson waters. All the churches in South Division, the Convent of Mercy, all the Railroad buildings and front man sions on Michigan and Wabash avenues are gone. European Correspondence, LONDONDERRY, IRELAND, Sept, 1, 1871, DEAR JounNAL :—I now send you my last letter from Europe, but may write you once more from New York, if, in the providence of God, I am permitted to reach there. Thus far He has been my helper, and I shall still trust in Him. Since my last to you from Belfast, we spent a day in that city, made some pur phases in linen goods, and then took a look through the pity, Belfast is situated on the river Lagan, near where it flows into the bay known as Belfast Lough; this port is 130 miles from Glasgow and 150 miles from Liv erpool. This city has made more progress in improvements than any other city in Ireland ; it numbered only 37,000 in 1821 and now it numbers 170,000. The general appearance of the city is that of a clean, thrifty business place, apd the business streets are wide and have fine, substantial, four story buildings on them. The new custom house and poet effice are in one building; it is one of the finest structures, built of fine Glasgow stone, the style, of architecture is Italian; the edifice occupies three sides of a quadrangle, with a large court yard inside, and is approached by aflight of steps on the fourth side. The Presbyterian meeting house is the band somest chapel belonging to the denomination in the city; a flight of tn enty steps leads to a handsome portico composed of ten (lonic tol e times, over which rises an elaborate balus trade; the internal decorations are quite in keeping with the exterior of the chapel, and cost sixty thousand dollars. There are twen ty Presbyterian congregations, ten Episcopa lians, five Catholics, and three Unitarians in ihe pity. In the census of 1861 the Belfast Piocese showed the largest preponderance of rotestants in Ireland, there being 75 per cent. to 25 per cent of Catholics, while about 50 per cent of the former belong to the Presbyterians. There are other fine cathedrals, churches and other public buildings in the city. The flax mills and linen ware houses will naturally attract the visitor, especially those on Donegol Square. In Ireland the first spin ning factory was established in 1806, and con sisted only of 212 spindles; in 1844 there were forty one mills, containing 280,000 spindles ; in 1850 the numbcr increased to seventy-three mills and 390,000 spindles ; and in 1860 there eighty-one mills, having some 500,000 spin. dies in operation, employing some 50,000 hands, and representing a capital of some twenty millions of dollars. The York street spinning company, (employing about 2,000 hands), has five thousand dollars worth of flax on hand. They cover about thirty acres of ground generally in bleaching. The quan tity of flax cultivated has been greatly on the increase. In 1847 there were 58,312 acres sown, each acre yielding about five cwt. of clean scutched fibre, and altogether worth three and a ha - A' millions of dollars, while in 1863 the estimated value of flax grown was forty-five millions. At the annual meeting of the Society for the growth of the cultivation of flax in 1863, the chairman stated that a re turn which he had procured from a friend of his, and by refering to it, that on the produc tion of an acre of ground under flax—a days' labor of sixty females and fifty-three males, or one hundred and thirteen persons in all, em ployed on it from the time it is pulled to the time it goes to the mill ; and from a return made to the Government he found that 175,- 000 acres were under flax for the year 1870; and that on an estimate just made, that this breadth of flax would give a years' employ ment to 60,000 persons, the wages of whom would amount to five millions of dollars ; this calculation was made of the scotch mills then used ; bat if they were to use the hand scutch ing, there would be a great many more hands employed. We left Belfast for Londonderry, distant some ninety-five miles. The country lying between Belfast and Londonderry is far ahead of the southern portion ; the land lies level and rich, and in a good state of cultivation. We saw as fine wheat and oats standing as you will see anywhere in Pennsslvania• The improvements on their farms are better by far than in the southern part of the state. The potato crop through this section is suffering equally as much as in other parts of the island. And, as usual, for the last three months, the farmers are still cutting grain ; but they are far behind the age of improvement in the way of cutting their harvest; you will see some cutting with a mowing sythe, the handle eight feet long, others reaping the old-fashioned way, and the women cutting the grain off with a sickel and then picking it up afterwards, belieye I only saw one grain reaper in all my travels, from south to north, in all Ireland. We passed several fine large towns on our journey to Derry. Ballamanna is a large man ufacturing place of linen goods; also the town of Coalraine, on the river Ball, at or near its mouth, where it enters into the Atlantic Ocean. We put up at the Jury hotel, in Londonder ry, the finest hotel in the city. Mr. Jury runs three large hotels, one here at this place, the inipepiab in Belfast, and the Bhelbourne house in Dublin, where he resides. Londonderry is situated on the magnificent river Foyle, near where it flows into the lake of the same name, which more than half surrounds the hill on which the city is built. The city was fortifi ed by walls, and are still standing, forming a fine prominade. An abbey, for regular can ons of the Augustine order was founded here in 64q. all abbey for Cistercian Nuns leas founded. And in 1214 a Dominick Friary was built by Dominick. There are two line bridges across the river, one of iron and the other of wood; the last named was built by. an American at a cost of eighty thousand dol lars ; it is ten hundred and seventy feet long. The siege of Derry has often been painted and described ; the Beige lasted one hundred and five days. It is said that two thousand three hundred of the eitisens died of famine ; it was. in the year This morning I had my attention drawn to an Irish family moving ; they had their house, ten by fourteen feet square, on a wagon, and the wife was cooking their breakfast as the wagon was moving through the street, and some of the children driving their cows, goats and donkeys behind them. Anil now, - as we williake passage at this place, in a day or two, in the same steamer (Anglia) which brought us over so nicely, you, Mr. Editor, with the rest of our friends, would like to know how we were pleased with our tour, as well as our opinion as to which was the .most beautiful country I traveled through. In reply, I would say the countries were all niee, the cities were all line, the rig era were all noble and the people were all kind and sociable. conclusion; Ihave endeavoia to give you and your kind readers a rough and irregular sketch of my travels and scenery in Europe. And as lam about going aboard the steamer for the land of my nativity, the (man, try I love the mast, it seems as if /were stand= Lug, like Bunyan's pilgrim, just waiting for my summons. All behind seems forgotten, and the glory on the other side engages the whole bout, If spared with a safe passage to New York you may have a concluding letter from me. Yours truly, w. B. L. Mississippi Correspondence JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 30, 1871 Peen JOURNAL :,-.E(4Ting reed statements made in several of the leading papers publish ed in the north asserting the existence of Yel low Fever in Jackson, I crave the privilege of a small portion of your valuable columns, for the purpose of stat.ng that such statements are fortunately false, though less fortunately with some foundation, as a disease with symp toms somewhat similar to that of Yellow Fever Appeared in this city about ten days ago, at, laPkillK several persons, four or fite cases of which'proved fa al, One case occurred in the camp of the U. S. troops, statinoed near this city, and terminated fatally. The unfortunate victim being the Commanding Officer of the camp, Capt. James Kelly, 16th Infantry ; an officer beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. The disease has entirely abated at this time, no new cases having been reported during the last few days. Although I have said the symp toms assimilated somewhat with thqse of the much dreaded "Yellqw Jack," the leading physicians here pronounce it nothing more than a grave form of the typAo-malaria fever, which is prevalent, though to a much less de gree every season in this climate. The pres ent visit of this disease is ascribed to a sad change of weather we have lately experienced. Great consternation existed among the terrified inhabitants of this city during the prevalence of the hegus Yellow' Jack; and a general exodus northward ensued. Business was neglected, stores closed, and nothing thought of but an escape from the dreaded epidemic. Each train northward was "cram med" to overflowing with the terror-stricken "chivalry" and their families, while the un fortunates (7) who could not muster the "need ful" tried tq put On a hold face, and look hopeful, but the wistful glances cast toward the departing trains plainly told their thoughts were rolling in some less obnoxious clinmte than that in which "circumstance over which they had no control" doomed them to stay. The most frightened portion of the citizens were of "African descent," though, as Per as I can learn, without the least cause, it bong eq established fact that they are proof against the disease. For the cause thereof, your read ers are humbly referred to science. Yesterday and to day the citizens have boon returning to their homes, considerably chop fallen, of course, while the stay-at-homes are correspondingly jubilant, and put on a know ing, patronizing air, and contemptously re mark, "they knew it," (of course they did), •'couldn't sc-re them," "oh no," "catch them running away for nothing." We hope all Yellow Fever visits to Jackson may prove as harmless and brief as the late so-called one, but for the present and of the subject quantum aupcit. Partingeo.
