LICBEOS", April 27,1572. 1 ( T'e dwelling house of Isaac Brock | took fire on the afternoon of Friday last' and was totally destroyed together with adjoining outbuildings. The house was ' occupied at tlie time by two families, father and son. The men were absent from home. Tlie fire originated in the roof, or between tlie ceiling and roof. ■ and when discovered had made so much progress that it was beyond the control of the women, one of Whom gave the ! alarm and tlie other went to getting tilings out of the house. By the almost superhuman efforts of someof the neigh bors tlie most of the goods in tlie lower rooms were saved; nothing saved in the ' 1 upi>er rooms. L. R.

We an- informed that a graded school will, before long be in operation in the ! borough of Leu isville. We noticed, s uae time ago. the donation of the Aca demy building and grounds to the School Board of the borougli for the purposes of such a school. Tlie stockiiolders of . i that institution, many of whom are pro ; ierty owners in the village and will be tax<-d for the support of the graded school, are deserving of great praise for the public spirit manifested by this act. After the establishment of tlie Aca demy there, Lew;sville was, for many years, an important educational centre; of tlie County, but for the last few years tiiat institution lias not been in opera tion, and the result is seriously felt in the preparation of young persons for teachers in ti.e common schools. Tuc ojieuing of a graded school under the school law of tlie state will give the • place more than its old-time imjiortanct i in educational matters. I.#rgf t'rop. Messrs.
