THE SASEII3. LOCAL AFFAIRS FIRE — Five Stables ami Three Horses Burnt. —A dangerous fire broke out on Saturday evening, a little after six o'clock, which for over an hour threat ened the destruction of East Market street, as well as South Main, but by the untiring zeal of the firemen and citizcnsgenerally,it was confined to the block of stables connected togethei in which it originated. Fortunately it was damp, with but little wind. The stables destroyed were owned and oc cupied as follows: E. L. Benedict, occupied by R. 11. Williams, Cashier Mifflin county Bank; Hon.S. S. Woods, purchased by R. W. Patton, and occu pied by Abner Thompson; John A. Sterett, occupied by Mrs. Elliott; Ephraim Banks, Esq; and Judge Ritz. The tire originated in the stable occu pied by Abner Thompson, who lost three fine horses. Every exertion was made by several persons who got in when the alarm was given, but some time elapsed before the door was got open, and then the fire bad made such headway that the poor animals had to be left to their fate. Mr. Russell's sta ble was saved, being of brick and the roof protected bv fire walls, but as can be seen by the charred door made an extraordinary excape. On the western end a space intervened between Ritz's and McCormick's stables, and on the safety of the latter depended- a long line of stables on both sides of the alley, as well as the houses on Main street. A line was formed of' citizens, who for an hour and a half carried water in buckets, and thus preserved it. Some of the b'hoys got on the roof of this stable, others were perched on the most exposed back-buildings, others again with hose, hooks and lad ders, not only endured a scorching heat, but all worked as if they owned every dollar at stake ! This is a trait in the character of our laborers—we might almost add most of our loafers —which commends itself to men of property, and ought in all proper in stances induce them to be openhanded with their means. The principal scene of excitement however was in the block from Bly myer's to Russell's corner. The fear ful certainty that if the wind raised (a natural cause from the effects of fires) human efforts would hardly avail to save the buildings, caused many a heart to throb with pain; but though the sparks were carried into windows and on roofs, those on the watch readily extinguished them as they fell, and the air was not strong enough to do more than scorch some of the premises. Mr. Russell's back building once caught fire, as did Ritz's, but both were speedily got under. The origin of the fire is not known, and opinions are divided as to its cause. Matches are now so indiscriminately carried, often loosely in pockets and therefore easily lost, so that one might be ignited by treading on it. or the nibbling of a mouse or rat might do the same. The only tiling that seems to favor the idea of incendiarism is the fact that the fire when discovered was mainly in the loft. The property destroyed was proba bly worth about 82.000, a small amount of which was insured. THE DRAFT. —Several public meet ings were held last week for the pur po e of devising some ways and means to raise bounties for volunteers, and the council, in obedi nee to petitions signed by a majority of the taxpayers, agreed that if the money was furnished they would disburse it, and as soon as 1 'gaiized assume it as a borough debt. o o A balance sufficient to make up the bounty to S2OO was subscribed, but as is often the case on juries, one or two wiseacres have fifty or a hundred stub born men to deal with who will not listen to reason. Thus, so far nothing lias been accomplished—those who owjht to sign the note or notes wrig gling out under all kinds of paltry pre texts. It is a pity such fellows can not be left out in the cold to be draft ed. The additional call for 200,000 men will increase our quota considera bly, so that if anything is to be done a more liberal spirit must pervade the masses than has yet been shown. Really poor men liable to draft cannot be expected, and ought not to be asked, to do much; but others who have means, and who in a scrape or a pinch can easily raise from SSO to SSOO, must lay aside the miser and play the part of men, or it is all nonsense to talk of raising a bounty. Are there not, for instance, a hundred men in Lowistown willing to plank down CIO) each, or fifty who will give 8200 each? This with 35000 Iroin the borough would definitely settle the matter, and place us out ot the woods in any eontingen cy* A few years hence it will be of no moment whether our heirs have a few hundred more or less—perhaps the less the better for them—and why then squirm and wriggle about a few dollars? ACTION, quick and decided action is wanting. The meeting last evening determined to persevere in the matter, and the Council will this morning probably decide to receive from taxpayers such sum as each may consider proper to pay on account of taxation, for which receipts or certificates will be issued. oca-We would again remind all per sons enlisting and crediting themselves to other counties, that they forfeit all claim on the relief fund of Mifflin county by doing so. The slightest reflection will show a poor man of family that he will leave his wife and children better off with 3100, 850, or even without a local bounty here, than by going into another county and get ting two hundred. THE WEATHER. —Wednesday clear and frosty in morning, remainder of day pleasant. Thursday cloudless sky and genial air. Friday no clouds, ha zy, not cold. Saturday drizzling all day, rain in the evening. Sunday cloudy all day with a light wind. Mon day morning rain, not cold. Yesterday being "ground hog da}*," and partly cloudy and partly sunshine, according to the old saying we will have good, had and indifferent weather in the next six weeks. This morning the ground is covered with snow. 2V.n old man named Jacob Swisher, aged about 70 years, was found dead in bed on Wednesday morn ing last. He had prayed in the Meth odist Church on the previous evening. teg-Just opened at E. Swain's Fancy Store, one of the largest ami best select ed assortments of Perfumery, Extr; ets and Toilet Articles ever ottered for sale in this town. Any lady or gentleman who wishes a genuine article of that kind will find just the thing they want. Some weeks ago we notified our read ers that Swain's was the place to find the best assortment of French and American Stationery to be met with this side of our eastern cities, and now we will inform the young folks who delight in paying their respects to each other at this season of the year, that they will find some of the handsomest Valentines ever seen. Just give him a call and satisfy yourselves of •he truth of what we say. Don t forge! the place—between Blymyer's and Ritz's stores, East Market street, south side. 3 Granville Association.

Amend ments have passed the Senate, but not the Liouse. Thirty-five Jobs were printed at the Gazette office during January. Some were long numbers, so that it required over lO.OuU impressions to do them, in one instance our little press printed 100 cards in jioe minutes. —The Harrisburg Telegraph last week appeared in a new dress, and throughout presentsa neat appearance. It is an excellent paper, has the latest news received here, and deserves an extensive i-upport. 85 per annum, in advance for Daily; 31,0U for Weekly, three copies for 84, ten copies for Slo. —Gen. Longstreet lately complained to Gen. Foster, under a flag of truce, that the President's proclamation of amnesty was circulated among his troops in hand bill form, and suggest ed that an offer to treat ought to be made to him; whereupon Gen. Foster sent him 2uo copies with a request that he would circulate them himself. For R if, Vice Roaches, Ants, bru flolhs la Fu.g, Uoolrns, &c,, Insects oil Plants, Fools. Animals, &.
