Line, ad “lulatraiorof Emanuel Line, deceased, dll oiler ul public hide, on Thursday, ‘eveiui er —3d, IS7I, al Ilia lute residence r f the deceased, in Ibis borough, a largo patlety ot household and kitchen fund pure, together with several buggies and |*Dtlug Wagons, a lot of carpeting, &c. A Barn Burned.’—On :-aturday lust, about noun, (lit?.splendid barn of William M. Watts, E*q , in Upper Allen town ship, was entirely consumed by fire, to gether with all its contents. The tiro is supposed to have originated in the threshing machine, am! when it was first discovered on the floor, beneath the machine, was about the size of a half bushel measure. One of the .woikimm culled for a bag to smother it, ami doubt less could have done so; but no bag was at hand, and in another moment, u blast of wind swept through the barn floor, and (he heap of straw at the end of the separator was in tluues. Then all hope of saving the building was at onco aban doned. The men had hardly time to save themselves, A wagon, partially loaded with grain, i.; the barn floor, was in flames before It could be removed. All the livestock was saved, butall the othe*' contents of the! barn were, consumed, consisting of 500 bushola'of barley, 1,000 bushels of com a mow of hay, and a large quantity of wheat, Mu-shed and unthresh* ed. Quito a number of smaller buildings, adjoining the burn, were saved: This Was a new frame,barn, th/eo stories high, apd. was one of the best structures of the -kind i be heavy, but we presume it is at least partially covered by insurance. This Is the thlid fire, from a similar cause, which has occurred iu this county within the' last three or fouryears, and it Is a matter of sufficient importance to demand a careful investigation by .machinists and others. Of coiiive, If a machine is kept perfectly clean, so that- the oil can reach the sockets of the various shafts, the danger from fire will be greatly dimin* ishfcd; but even- then, fire may be com iminicatcd to thesimw by a stone passing Ihrough the iron spikes of the cylinder. The main difficulty bus been, iu all these cases, that no means were at hand for the prompt extinguishment of fire. A. small lank, filled with water, and.an or dinuiy force pump, worked by the same pi wer that drives the threshing machine, would have saved either of these barns, for the wutei could have been turned on the moment the fire was discovered, and . when it could have been extinguished with little effort. Such a fixture as this would add but ’little additional cost to machine, and unless some preventive of fire is provided, farmers will be justified in throwing these separators out of their barns. The Law Library.—An act of assem bly, passed, two or three years ago, pro vided for establishing a law library in this place. Each member of the bar pays an annual fee for its maintenance; and all tines imposed by the court and all recognizances. forfeited are appropriated to (ho same purpose. Recently the county commissioners have fitted up one of the rear rooms In the second story of the Court House, .as a library. The walls have been papered with plain light-blue paper, with a glided cornice, the fl >or is carpeted wiih a pretty .’carpet of green and oak, and around the walls have been built several handsome and commodious book cases, beneath which a v e a series of drawers for the use of members of the bar, each of whom will be provided with a separate drawer, un der lock and key, for the safe keeping of such hooks and papers as he may need during Ibe sessions of tbe court; chairs ami a convenient table have also been mtfwided. A considerable portion of the /library fund has already been invested, and on Saturday last, several shelves were tilled with law hooka, principally reports and digests from other States - such books us the student of law cannot readily gain access to. This is a move in the right dhectlon, and we hope to see it successfully curried out. Tho public spirit and liberality of our county com missh ners, in tiffs matter, cannot be ton highly commended. A public law libra ry, and a suitable room for its accommo dation, have been recognized as the great want of our bar and court for many years. New F.E. Bishop.— At Harrisburg, on Friday hist, Rev. M.

Rhrinor, residing about a mile from Meohanlo*- burg, were seriously poisoned while eat ing supper. For a time, (he family seemed to he in great danger, and Dr. Lefever, who had been summoned, de sired other medical aid. The opinion of tlie physicians was that the family hod been poisoned by arsenic or tartar emetic, though in what manne* it got Into tho food is a mystery, as none was known to be around the premises. Military.— Twelve rnl'itnry compan ies participated in a review at Harrisburg on Thursday, the 21 Inst.; three from Lebanon county, one from Cumberland, one from Middletown, and seven from Harrisburg.

Columns of light of considerable size and brilliancy shot up fiom the horizon, and presented a grand and beautiful sight. If every subscriber on our list would exert himself to send us one or two new cash subscribers, what a handsome gift it would be, and how easily each one eould do so, if he only would.

How many unhappy marriages are contracted merely because so many of our young girls are taught by their mam mas to believe that marriage is the moat desirable thing in life, and old maldenlsm the most detestable. Influenced by such pernicious teachings, many gir’s, dread ing tho possibility of their becoming old guilds, plunge into matrimony. The 'coming year, 1872, will be leap year. Those interested will make a not© of this fact. In that year, according to an old-time custom, tho ceremony of popping the, question ” reverts to the ladles; so, boys, all of you who do not wish to he captured In tho meshes of the matrimonial tolls had better steer clear of the fair sex doling that period, for when such an oil-important question is left to the girls, it is a sure “pop.” Days Getting Shorter. —The days are getting shorter—perceptibly so, not only by the .ordinary course oi nature, but the cool mornings make sleeping so exceedingly comfortable that nearly ev ery person feels disposed to Jose half an hour in a snooze. “Blessed be the man that invented sleep," saysßancho Putiza, for ills o glorious institution; and blessed be the man, say we, that invented cool mornings,-for they enable us to take a decoction of sleep that is worth thous ands more than the dirty worm which the early bird is supposed to catch.

Employers, as a general tiling, are not fools. They readily detect who of their employees manifest an interest in their business and join heart and hand with them in endeavors to render it prosper ous.

They are properly served. Boys, if you wou’d be successful In life cast aside all these unworthy subterfuges. They can piove detrimental to your in terests only.

Duties op Supervisors Defined.— In a n ighborimr coutily, sortie Limeugo, a citizen was injured while crossing a bridge, his horses, and wagon were pre cipitated into the waifer, killing a very valuable horse, crushing the wagon, and' destroying a large quantity of wheat. To recover damages, an action was In stituted against the townships in which the bridge was situated, It was shown that the bridge was rotten, and that, if the ordinary tests had been used by the supervisors, the defects could easily have been detected. Under this evidence the court charged that the townships were, liable, and the question of negligence be in£ referred to the jury, It found for the plaintiff. On a writ of error, the Su preme Court affirmed the judgment ol the Common Pleas, and delivered on opinion defining the Mahiiies and duties of supervisors. Its substance is embraced in the following points, and we would ask for them the careful attention of township supervisors in particular, and ail citizens In general : 1. Bridges are treated as the portions of the highways which cross (hem, and are to be rnaintain.ed and kept In repair by the Supervisor* of the township 2. The neglect of the Supervisors to keep Hi m iu repair, subjects them to a personal liability ; but does not lessen the primary liability of the township to those who sutler injury from their ue gect. 3. What is negligence must depend upon the peculiar clrcumManees of each case, and question for the jury. 4. Great danger demands higher vigi lance and mure effectual means to so6urs su/ely. -5. Applying Jhese principles ,here it, may be asked, what, structure more im portant iu view of the safety of life and property cun he well imagined than such a bridge as this, having a span of filiy two feet above Ihe stream, whose water is middle deep. The accident llseif fs ev idence of its important character. The plumiiff’s wagon was overturned iu the fall, the body cruahe I, the load of wheat fell underneath it into the stream, and one of the horses was killed ; “a bridge looks fair (ill it breaks down—it is not like a pit which yon can see and avoid/’ In practice, it is used up to th * last mo ment. Hence such a structure demands constant vigilance to guard and preserve it. Therefore when the bridge is ohf hav ing stood tor the length of time the lim bers composii g It,are occustomed. to Ju-t, and when it may he rt awn ably expected that decay has set in, ills intelligent to omit all proper precautions to ascertain Us true com 111 lon. Nor will mere ap pearances In mich a case excuse tin neg lect. Iris a mutter of c umnon knowl edge that Invisible defects may, under such circumstances, probably doexialL— ihut either wet or dry rot may have set in and uot visible, and therefore should he fought for. But no ouo o( ordinary intelligence would think ol seeking tor aii unsound ami lh\ inline defect by mere ly inspecting ibesurlaceof the wood.— This being the case,it is clearly the duty of thd supervisors, having thus reason to believe that defects may exist to call in to UieU assislunee those whoso skill will enable them to ascertain the true state of Die structure, and determine the question of its safety. Without doing this much at least,their dhty to the public is not performed; uot to do it, is therefore negligence, and this is the point on which the cnee went to the jury. There is tbeieiore no error in the submission. An Old Lady Buhnkd to Death.— Tlio Bedford County Press says ; “ Our neighborhood was the scene of another Had accident on laat Thursday. George and Hannah Long, a very aged couple, resided in a small house near the Juniata Crossings.

To supplement the' asvlul fires in Michigan ami Wis consin, ami the fearful Chicago confla gration, now comes the account of the total loss of a large’ fleet of whaling •vessels among ‘the icebergs of the Arctic Ocean. Most of the ships be longed to the enterprising , little city of New,Bedford, and the financial loss entailed upon that community—nearly every member of which is directly in terested in the whaling business—is almost as severe and crushing as (hai which befell the merchants of Chicago. In the calamity which has befallen New Bedford, no Joss of lifo was fortu nately entailed, and though the people are ill able to bear the destruction at one fell swoop of their immense whal ing fleet, they are with tru j American cheerfulness, elasticity and pluck, now preparing to fit out vessels to take the place bf those lost. While no homes have been laid in ashes, and there are no needy women and children to pro vide for, the men of New Bedford de serve none the less the hearty sympathy of the country in their misfortune.— Many persons in humblecircurn-tances have lost thuir all ly this extensive shipwreck, and oven some of the opu lent vessel owners may be. forced to succumb to the blow which has so very unexpectedly fallen upon their hitherto prosperous business. Indeed, the year 1871 will be memor able in history as the year of disasters. There have been more collisions of steamers, railroad trains, ve you sill! neck, or hunches caused by rheumatic pains?
