Diunr LOC. Ls.--Josh Billings' latest
opinion : " A man that offers five dollars to
sit hit, must be a phool."
The circus which was t , ) haye been here
last Thursday, w as seized in Lancaster, for
a debt of $l5OO, payment was made, circus
released, and is now in Philadelphia, reor
ganizing, for a tour of sixty days. Dan.
Gardner will retain the management.
—lt was at first supposed that the failure
of the arrival of the circus was due to the
neglect of several of the Committee. The
Committee on the elephant had been chang
ed, and the new appointee was not fully in
structed. Other members were equally as
derelict in the discharge of their duties.
Since then it is reported, that inns much us
the Sheriff interfered with the arrange
ments at Lancaster, and " Young Grier's

Tun 1 - Ltzn. —The Intelligenccr on the au
thority of Lancaster savants, says that the
peculiar haziness of the atmosphere for the
lust few days, which has extended over
such a wide surface of the country is caused
by the great tires in Canada, where thous
ands of acres of timber have been burning
since last week. The smoky, dry and heat
ed state of the atmosphere, and the general
direction of the wind, would seem to render
this opinion plausible, apart from the fact
asserted by some persons that their eyes
and nostrils have been sensibly affected by
the smoke for the past few days.
How TO nr•. NOITODY.—It is easy to be

just a little beer, or some other drink. In
the meantime play dominoes, checkers, or
something else to kill time, so that you
will be sure not to read any useful book.
If you read, let it be the dime novels of the
day. Thus go on keeping your stomach
full and your head empty, and yourself
playing time-killing gullies, mid in a few
years you'll be nobody, unless (as is quite
likely) you sh ,uld turn out a drunkard or

STEAtunmyr ExyLosios.---On last Sunday
afternoon about four o'clock the old steam
and ferry boat belonging to the Tide
Water Canal company, and used for towing
boats on the Susquehanna River, between
this place and Wrightsville, blew up as
she wa , , leaving the Wrightsville wharf.
A number of boys were on the stern at
the time, but escaped without serious inju

about the head and thee. The Steersman,
Theodore Eby sustained a serious injury
from the coneussiLn and fall, but will re-

The stern of the boat was blown to pieces,
and What remained of it sunk rapidly to the
bottom, alongside the wharf. The boat
was rotten, and made no resist ince to the
force of the stream. Tho boiler was old and
almost rusted tit rou,h, so that only a little
more than the usual pressure of steam ex
ploded it.
EDITOR or TrtE CoLumma Spy :—A copy
of your paper of the 6th inst. has just reach
ed me containing a piece entitled " The
Cotton Mather Hoax." The charge against
myself of a desire to create "a new tide of
enmity against the people of New Eng
land,' must be amusing to such of your
readers as know me personally, inasmuch
its I have long been persistently, and, S be
lieve, without the offi,et of a single counter
charge, accused of undue partiality l'or the
Yankees and their principles. But this is
a matter of no consegnence.
As the author of the criticism has not
deigned to distinguish very clearly between
his own original observations and the re
marks of his authority, The Independent, I
am somewhutat a loss to know whether the
strictures on the orthography of the letter
attributed to Cotton Mather are his own or
those of the New York editor. Bat it is ex
ceedingly unlikely that either the one or
the other possesses that minute and accu
rate acquaintance with the gradual and
often almost imperceptible changes in En
glish orthogra, by which would entitle him
to pronounce so magisterialey on the points
he discusses. lam very sure that the edit
or of The Independent does not. Any one
at all familiar with these changes knows
that they aro subject to great variety, even
among contemporaneous authors. The
proper name Penn was spelled both as it is
now spelled and iu two other ways, viz:
Pen and rell72C; as for the name "scampe,"l
doubt extremely whether either your cor
respondent on the editor of The Independent
can tell you just when, or by whom it was
first used. These sweeping assertions con
eerning the minutia: 01 language are very
ridiculous, and are never made by writers
who have weighed the difficulties of the
case, if we except here and there an author
like Macauley,the universality of whose lit
erary knowledge gives him an undoubted
right to do so. The verb to scantpc was
used in the reign of Queen Anne,—to show
just when the noun was first coined would,
1 fancv be un undertiuting too difficult for
your correspondent,iiithout much previous
research. But enough on this point.
As for the spirit which animated the Pu
ritazis, it is simply preposterous to deity the
probability of such an net as is proposed in
the letter. These very same Puritans did
sell Cassandra Southwick, a member of a
distinguished Quaker family still existin ,.,
in Boston, its a slave to the West Indies. IT,
is hardly likely that men who did not scru
ple to sell a young and innocent girl into
bondage among a strut age people would have
been slow to prove that "Godliness was great
gain" by turning the crew of the Welcome
to the same pious use. And I, mvself.saw,a
few years ago,a large el tn standing in Boston
Common, on which these suing Puritans
hanged Mary Dyer, an exemplary Quaker,
for the crime of dissent from their own big
oted views. So much for the "internal ev
idence" of till part of the question.
In conclusion I may say that,notwithstand
your correspondent's confident assertion to
the contrary, the thought that the letter
might be a forgery had crossed my mind.
But there was no intrinsic improbability
of its authenticity; mid as the Italians have
it, "Se non e vero e hen trovato,"—if it is
not true, it is well conceived.
If this discussion should lead to a little
independent investigation in the premises
among your readers, it will not be, to me,
at least, a matter of regret that it has oc
curred. 11. W. 0.

York county has 17,000,000 tons of steel

ore.

Our public schools of this borough will

On Monday last. the York County Steel
Work commenced the business of rolling
out rails, which attracted consicierable
at
tention. and quite a crowd of lookers on.
These tine works are visited by crowds of
people. citizens as well as strangers.
On Monday the 15th inst, Horace Greeley
whose name is known throughout the civi
lized world as the greatest of living journal
ists, paid our borough and county a brier
visit, on his retut n from a flying trip to the
State of 'Virginia. While in town, lie stop
ped at the National House, where he was
called upon by a number of our prominent
citizens, and in the evening, previous to
his departure for home, the Worth Infantry
Band, accompanied by a large concourse of
people, assembled in front of hotel and
treated him to a most delightful serenade.
In response to the enthusiastic calls of the
multitude, Mr. Greeley made his appear
ance upon the steps, and delivered a short
address which was repeatedly cheered and
applauded. His subject was home protec
tion and the interests of Penns.ylvanta,gen
ei idly, and he was listened to with the most
proton ii attention, and his doctrines ap
proved of by men of till parties present.
He referred to his residence in the State of
Massachusetts, at ono time where her mer
chants being largely interested in shipping
business. were opposed to the protective
policy. When prominent Statesmen orPonn
sylvania were advocating a protective tariff

pen and voice, with those of Haynes, Cal

free trade were then the darling topics of
Southern Statesmen and their interests
seemed to lie linked together and identical.
Ile represented Pennsylvania as foremost
in advocating the protective policy, irre
spective of party, and referred to the sever
al tariff acts which had been passed, and in
which her Senators and Rept esentatives
had taken a decided stand. The manufac
turing interests of Pennsylvania, were in
separably connected with the protective
policy. Without it they could not prosper

employment to our people and business to
our business men, and the wealth and rev
enue arising therefrom should go to enrich

Mr. Greeley spoke for the space of twenty
or twenty-live minutes, and was listened to
with the most intense int.-rest. The speech
was plain, forcible, honest and straight-for
ward, cud was understood by all within
the sound of his voice. After ire had con
cluded, it was favorably eotninented upon
by Democrats as well as Republicans, and

The Masonic Encampment.
Wane CAT FALLs, Aug. 22, 1870.
The Masonic encampment at Wild Cat
Falls, on the west bank of the Susquehanna,
about 5 miles abd'o Columbia, and 1/ miles
above Marietta during Aug. 19th, 20th, 21st
and 22nd, was the most pleasant affair over
held in the State. Early preparations had
been made by a Committee of the Colum
bia, York and Marietta Lodges, so that by
the 19th inst., everything was in readiness
for instituting " with due form and ceremo
ny" the first Lodge of Refreihment ever
encamped here.
The place selected, was the site of the
old, " Engle Saw Mill" at the mouth of
Wild Cat Itun, just under the Falls,—a
spot now dearer than ever, for its mystic
associations. The place is rich in natural
beauty, not excelled anywhere. A bold
majestic bluff, all green with nature's rich
est foliage, looks down on the (here) quiet.
but romantic Susquehanna rising almost
perpendicularly from the edge of the river
to the height of three hundred feet, inter
rupted hero and there only by deep ravines
and natural water courses, it at once strikes
the eye of the traveler with awe and grand
eur.
From the old mill, now practically a
ruin, we follow the bright, sparkling wa
ters of Wild Cat Run, up the cool, shaded
ravine, and over the broken rocks, now
washed smooth by the ever rolling, tumb
ling waters, which have been for unknown
ages dashing on towards old ocean. Sud
denly a miniature falls a /a Niagara,charms
us with its surpassing beauty. Here right
over the foaming element, seats were con
structed, and amid the melody of waters,
song and story invited the weary traveler
to welcome rest. (here we refreshed our
selves.) Up and on we go, till we reach the
crowning cascade, the very intensity of
beauty—Niagara typified. The sparkling
rill, the projecting rocks, the song of the
birds and the murmur of waters comming
ling, contribute to make it one of the most
beautiful spots along the Susquehanna. As
we gazed on the rim: ness of the scene, we
recalled to mind these words of the boot:
I can pass days
Stretched in the shade of those old cedar trees,
Watching the sunshine like a blessing fall,
The breeze like music, wander mg o'er the
bough.,
Each trec a natural harp,—each different leaf
A different note, ',lent in one Vast thanksgw-
It was a happy choice when our Masonic
friends located their camp here.
The Committee of arrangements consist
ing of Messrs. W. 11. Engle, S. S. Childs, A.
J. Kauffman, A. M. Rambo, A. H. Glatz, J.
C. Stoner, C. A. Schtellner, A. N. Green and
M. M. Strickler, worked hard to make the
arrangements complete. Flooring was put
in the old mill, and a large banquet-hall
improvised. with kitchen at the west end;
to the right of the kitchen a dressing room
was added, provided with all the conveni
ences of modern hotels; at the southwest
corner a bath-house was erected with
cold and warm baths; the latter was sup
plied from the family tea kettle, on the stove
just above. The plateau surrounding the
mill was covered with large markee tents,
for the accommodation of the guests. At
the front parlor, next to the banqueting
room, was a desk, provided with pen, ink
and register, in which every visiting Ma
son recorded his name, residence, lodge,
chapter, commandery and council. The
verandah on the north side was provided
with cane and spring bottomed chairs, camp
chairs and news-stand, upon which we
found the daily papers of New York, Phil
adelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, and the
Columbia SPY. The ceiling of the mill, or
at least the place where it ought to have
been, was decorated with Chinese lanterns,
and above all at full mast, were the dear
old Stars and Stripes. Three row, and one
sail boat dotted the river, to carry visitors
to and fro.
Visiting Masons came in from all sections
during Friday and Saturday morning.
The evening trains, and G A. M., Sunday
train' brought scores from a distance.
From the register we gathered the names
of the following, and we have doubtless
omitted many, who came alter our list was
made up.

The time between meals was spent in fish
ing, boating, making scientific explorations
and the other amusements, games, music,
etc., usual upon such occasions.
The arrangements were very complete,
and meals were served with promptness,
and regularity. Great credit is due to the
working members of the Committee,
Messrs. A. J. Kauffman, M. M. Strickler,
A. K. Rambo, A. H. Glutz, W. H. Eagle
S. S. Childs. The camp broke up on Mon
day noon, and at 5 o'clock everything was
removed to Marietta, the tents shipped to
Harrisburg, and a receipt taken therefor.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of
the camp, and the visitors only regretted
that the "Lodge of Refreshment" did *not
continuo longer. They parted with the
grand old scenery around Wild Cat with
great reluctance, their memories indelibly
stamped with the happy associations of the
place.
Incidents: Many and happy are the inci
dents connected with the few days stay in
the wilds of the Falls. Almost every spot,
almost every niche in the massy, rocky
walls, bad a part in the " day's doings."
Reveille was usually sounded at 4 o'clock
in the morning, and though the bugle
" waked not the weary sleepers," sounds
just as sweet and quite as effective called
the camp to " arms." At these sounds all
nature was astir, and so were the Harris
burg chickens, which S. S. C. offered a wil
ling sacrifice fur his Masonic friends. It
was a legitimate transaction, however, the
Telegraph local to the contrary notwith
standing.
A Masonic quartette consisting o f Messrs.
Cleppers,Kauffman and Strickler furnished
the music for camp, and right well did they
perform their part. They tendered grace
ful serenades to the grand officers, but were
not very choice as to the time of night se
lected for the musical " grand rounds."
Brother IV. of Lancaster, having been
voted champion of jollity and gastronomy,
was presented with the champion belt with
the inscription "The .13eit of Wild Cat
Falls." Tue belt is not quite large enough
to encircle the jolly NV., but where it came
from, and how it was obtained, is stilt a
mystery. That's what we thought!
During the stay there, several of the gen
tlemen made scion title excursions along
Wild Cat, the locality being rice in geolog
ical and butaincal woe -Mrs. Lire fish,
nearly round, marked by hoop-like rings
were discovered, which bathed the skill
and learning of the most celebrated natur
alists in the party. They were all captured,
but their species and their zoology is un
known,—one of the mysteries of Wild Cat.
A boat light concluded the sports of the
camp, consisting of a miniature naval
engagement bet veer the French ant Prus
sians. The attack of `•the French man-of
war" was too ntieh for the little " Dem
cher," and after being boarded, the latter
capitulated.
Thus closed one of the first affairs of the
kind ever meld in the State, and the most
ple.tsant throughout, that we have ever at
tended. May it be repeated often.

A NEW PnnAsE.—lt is known that every
community has its particular phrase or ex
pression peculiar to the locality, or expres
sive of the customs and occupations of the
people. Dickens' works teem with them.
So does Rip Van Winkle, the great morel
drama, produced here at the recent benefit!
Since then we hear in almost ever quarter
the singular expression: "fit give you five
dollars if you'll hit me." In somo locali
ties the sum is reduced to eleven cents and
a half.
The saying derives its origin from tho of
fer made by our neighbor's Runner, to the
editor of this paper, at the railroad depot
on last Saturday evening. We declined
the offer, as he can have the job done
cheaper elsewhere.
FEMALE SELECT SCHOOL.—The Misses
Chamberlin, we are pleased to notice, will
open a select school for young ladies, in
Smith's Building, No. 137 Locust street,
on the Ist of September. Their card appears
on the first page of to-day's paper. As
there announced, they propose only to take
a limited number of pupils and adapt the
coursexif training so as to make it most thor
ough and comprehensive, and will bend all
their energies to make the enterprise a SlLO
cess.
-
From what we have learned, this school
has been started at the solicitation of some
el our citizens, who are anxious to provide
just such instruction Tor their daughters.
The Misses Chamberlin come with the most
flattering recommendations, and sponta
neous testimonials. They are ladies of the
finest culture and taste, and are well qual
ified to supply a want so long felt. It' prop
erly encouraged, which wo trust they will
be, their enterprise \vill be made a perma
nent feature of Columbia. We cordially
commend the undertaking to our citizens,
as in every way worthy 01 their liberal
support.—h})y, July 23.
A \Vim BAND.—Our town was visited
on Tuesday by an ins: rumental quartette,
consisting of one man_ lie played a Ifurdy
Gurdy, drum, cymbals and the Pastoral or
Pan reed ,all ;none time, producing some of
the popular airs—" Shoo Fly," "Dixie" and
" Yankee Doodle." The Pan reed Leine;
historical and full of mythological mean
ing, is deserving of more than passing no
tice.
The reed, the instrument which our mu
sic men played with his mouth, derives its
name front having been used by "Pan,"
the heathen God of all shepherds. He was
formed in the similitude of nature. He is
described as " Lord of all the hills and
dates;" Servius says ho "has a pipe of sev
en reeds, on account of the harmony of the
heavens, in which there are seven sounds,
producing music not to be excelled by that
of the bird, which among the leaves of the
flowery spring, laments, pouring forth her
moan, a sweet sounding lay.•'
Thus to-day in the streets of Columbia,
we listened to the music credited as belong
ing to the Gods of ancient Mythology.
" THE MODEST EICHIT."—Last - Tuesday
evening, the Franklin House Dining Hull
was the scene of much mirth and quiet so
cial pleasure._ The gentlemen who sit at
table number I,—the associates of Jab.
Graybill for the last twelve months, bud
prepared a collation, and had procured a
little surprise for him. They were eight in
number,—self-styled " The Modest Eight'',

the evening; H. W. Thornton, master or

other invited guests, Messrs. Geo. and Har

in the festivities. At nine o'clock the party
took seats at the table when all was silence,
J. W. Yocum, rose, and in a brief speech,
and on behalf of " Tho Modest Eight," pre
sented Mr. Graybill with :t solid gold
Knight Templar's mark, as a token of the
appreciation in which he was held by his
gentleman friends. Mr. G. in responding,
referred to the pleasant associations of the
past year, the ninny happy hours spent in
the society of his friends, and the pride
with which he would ever wear the rich
gift, V. Inch had just been presented.

We note with pleasure the favorable re
sponse of the _Eolians, and our citizens
must certainly give these young gentleman
great et edit for the liberal spirit which they
manifest. Not quite two months ago the
;Erni:tits gave a parlor concert in the Hall,
at •:;hick the nlttsiillance was small, and the
proceeds just large enough to meet expen
ses and nothing lett. By their concert
they intended to realize enough to liqui
date a small debt. But for borne reason the
People did not properly encourage them,
and the result was 11S above stated.
We trust that the spirit manifested in the
above teply will insure for them better ben
efits in the future.
THAT BEN ny IT— Mr. r 0 El nft S defense.
An exceed ingly tante article appears in the
ilerald of this week, defending Mr. Young
against the charge which we made last
week—that ofehtaining money under mis
representation and gain-appropriating it to
keep an Itinerant troupe, pay hills previ
ously contractedoke.
WC Wele right in our statement. The
Agent of the Tumideronicons call at this
°thee just as we had the forms locked up,
and were ready to go to press, and desired
local notices. We set, other inaVer out of
the form, iind upon his representation that
the proceed-4 were for the widow, we gave
advertisement at half one rates; though had
we known the real object of the show, we
would ha\ e insisted on full pay. After
wards we met Mr. Young, the manager,
who cave t a seven complimentary tickets,
all of which we distributed among the seven
employees in this °nice. So far we were
connected with the show business,of which
our neighbor was chief manager.
In a tabular statement published, Mr.
Young admits the receipts to be $31.20, and
the ex pen,e:4 to have been $46,00. A balance
of $.5:20 remains unaccounted lor, which
should have been paid into the poor
widow's treasury,
It is t tt•ell 1:1111W11 rule of "benefits" that
only the legitimate and regular expenses of
the evening should be paid out of the gross
receipts. Upon this implied understanding
Mr. Young appealed to the public, bud
when he applied the receipts to another
purpose (that of entertaining sumptuously
for three days a hand of moving adventur
ers)he misappropriated the people's money.
one gentleman, Mr. Daily, alone sold 7G
tickets to the railroaders, sonic of whom,
though givittg theirmoney cheerfully ,eou ld
not well ilirOld it. Had they known that
they were paying their mites towards feed
ing a troupe for three days, they would not
hat o been so liberal, nor would Mr. Daily,
have acted as agent. All these it regulari-
ties rrtnnin to be explained, besides the
right of J 1 r. Young to take even the small
balance of the people's money lett, and do
nate it to the troupe for traveling expenses.
The whole thing looks " fishy," and if Mr.
Y. has failed to convince the people that he
has acted honorably, he must attach the
blame to its proper source i. c. the character
of the transaction.
Besides the failure to appropriate proper
ly the funds received,he says nothing about
the manner in which he used the mune of
Mrs. Redmond N. i ihout consulting her
This - was a personal offence,which we hope
will never occur again.
As we stated last week. the whole object
of the movement, was not so much for
charitable purposes, as to secure the pay
ment of bills previously contracted and
get the troupe out of town respectably—a
business in which we hope our neighbor
will never embark again.
—Our readers, and especially those in Co
lumbia, will remember thst we have con
stantly avoided these unpleasant controver
sies and we assure them that they are ex
ceedingly distasteful to us. lint there are
occusitlllS when deception, especially if
practised upon the public, amst be exposed
The course of the 11cr aid men in the past
has been such as to merit the severest re
bukes. II they profit by them and show a
disposition in the !inure to attend to their
own business more closely, we may pro
claim nit armistice.

Ss:arous AcetriENT.-- On Wednesday
afternoon, Josic Detwiler and Walter
Schwartz were thrown front a horse which
they were riding down Third street. The
horse was a quiet, trusted animal, per
fectly safe, and the little fellows were
in the habit of riding him around the
square. As they were going along Third
street, another small boy struck the horse
with a switch, which started him to run•
ning. The two riders fell on . , Josie Det
wiler sustaining a serious injury, produc
ing concussion of the brain. Ife was picked
up in an insensible condition, and carried
to a neighbor's house, when medical atten
dance was called in. He was soon restored
to consciousness, and is recovering.
His little companion was not inj nrod, ex
cept that ho sustained several cuts alien
the head,
DONATION PAICTY.—On Wednesday even
ing, after lectures, a large number of the
members of the Lutheran church called on
the pastor, Rev. G. M. Rhodes, to surprise
him with a number of presents, among
which were a lot of potatoes and other vege
tables, a half dozen cane-seated chairs, and
a beautiful ebony cane. The good people
met at Mrs. Thos. Welsh's, whence they
proceeded to the parsonage, with their sup
ply of good things. Upon their arrival the
usual congratulations of the evening were
exchanged, after which, Herbert Thomas
Esq. advanced, and on behalf of the ladies
and gentlemen present, presented the cane,
in a neat speech, of a few minute's length.
The pastor Mr. Rhodes replied in his usu
al happy style, thanking the donors for
their kindness and their entirely unexpect
ed, though none the less pleasant visit. He
referred to these social unions and the
pleasures connected with them as the ties
which unite pastor and people, and beget a
true christian spirit in a congregation.
The cane is a finely polished ebony,
brought from Cuba by Mr. E. T. Mellinger.
It is heavily mounted with a silver head,
and engraved neatly though very plainly.
It is a very desirable press t, and Mr.
Rhodes most heartily appreciated the do
nation.
After congratulations, &c., a table was
spread by the party,and fairly loaded down
with the cakes, peaches. and other delica
cies, including two cans of ice cream. The
evening passed pleasantly, and at 10 o'clock
the happy pastor and people parted.
Tate RI:AT STORM ox WEDNusmtv
Niontr.—One of the most terrible thunder
storms that ever visited this section passed
over Columbia, on Wednesday night.
About 11:30 o'clock there were indications
of its approach; massive black clouds hung
over head, and in the distant west, sharp
flashes of lightning were seen. The heat
was oppressive. Soon the dark canopy
over-spread, and then followed one of
the grandest electrical displays wo ever
witnessed. Lightning covered the black
heavens with a sheet of tire, through which
forked lightning, in the intensity of its
brightness was painfully brilliant. Flash
followed flash, peal on peal, till all nature
seemed convulsed. The rain commenced
falling in torrents, and windows and shut •
ters were closed against the storm.
When the storm was at its height, and to
add to the terror of the scene, the cry of
"fire, lire," rang through our streets. Fire
men were soon out with their apparatus.
What more could inspire with awe and fear
than the deafening peals, the vivid flashes,
shouts of the firemen and the bright reflec
tion of the burning buildings just outside
of town.
It was soon discovered that Truscott
Co's Oil Refinery was on fire. The light
ning had struck simultaneously toe Re
ceiving House, and the Crudo Oil House,
situated on either side of Third street, ex
tended. The theory of the course of the
current is that it struck a locust tree, at the
base of the hill, there divided,one part run
ning along an iron pipe, till it penetrated
the Receiving House; the other glancing
off, struck the House over the Crude oil
to
Both were ignited simultaneously. The
Receiving House contained three wooden
tanks, with about 50 bls. of distilled oil.
This whole structure, oil, oil tanks, and a
benzine tank were completely destroyed.
Only two or the crude oil tanks were de
stroyed, and though the third was only six
feet from the mass of fire, it was saved by
the noble efforts of the firemen. It became
so hot, and so much gas was gener
ated, that it several times raised the im
mense lid, the gas exploding and passing
off. This in itself is a remarkable fact.
A condenser laid from the still house to
the receiving was also partially destroyed.
The firm consisting of Saui'l. Truscott, J.
W. Stoney, and M. S. Shuman sustain a
heavy loss amounting to about $5OOO. There
was no insurance—the nremintn on such
risks being too heavy.
They expect to be ready to resume opera
tions in about two weeks, when they will
be pleased to receive the orders of their 01d
customers.
We are authorized on behalf of the firm to
publicly acknowledge the great services
rendered by the firemen, who saved much
of the movable property and kept on steady
and effective streams Irma a small creek:a t
the base oldie hill. Theydid nobly,and have
agfiin proven the efficiency of our fire de
partment.
Pu ring the storm .Tames Burrell's house
on Fourth street was struck, the current
tearing off the slate along the comb of
the roof.
On Front street the scene was grand—the
railroad tracks looking like long, snake
like lines of tire. Our people will long re
member the storm of Aug.:24th.
At Henry Kehler's the lightning struck
his house, passed into the cellar, not doing
serious damage. :Co lightning rod at that
end, the house being a long one. Three or
four trees around the building were also
struck. The church at Drytown was also
struck, but not burned. Cupola somewhat
damaged—no rod,
