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

—Many papers are in error in stat
ing that the conscription bill has been
amended by act of Congress. 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.
