Meetings ;tre held every Salur
,viv evening, the exercises consisting
i i nut at Debates, Essay*, and Dec
lamations fbe ladies do not attend as
they once did. The question for dis
cus-i 'ii next Saturday evening is espe
eialiy interesting to the fair sex, via:

MEAT —George Kneehurii, at Col.
Butler's old stand, lontinces to supply
tiir public witli beef, pork, vual, innt
tai, sausage, pudding, &e., Hume or all
of tvhieli is almost constantly' kept on
bund. His purchases of stock are Al
ways made with judgment, and we
know he spares neither time nor labor
to please his customers.
FIRES. —Between 12 and 1 o'elo k
on Monday morning the back biHldi.tg
•of the dwelling on the farm near tow .
owned by heirs of Andrew Parker.de
ceased, of Miffiintown, occupied by
fVm Graham, was discovered to be, on
tire. A brother in-law sleeping it the!
h uis • .a e ihe alum, and the fan -
ily and those that galliered to the scene
Mui-eeded in getting out nearly all the
jiersowiJ property. The night was
very inclement, ami streets and pave
ments > slippery as to render locomo
tion extiviuely dangerous. Had some
one I>eea so thoughtful as to use well
shod horses for taking down the sue- !
uou and hose, the front building, which j
was of brick, could no doubt have been
sired, as there was an abundance of
water about one hundred yurds off
As it was the whole building was de
stroyed, slowly burning lot several
hours. The night being calm, and rain
failing part of the time, saved the large
barn and outbuildings. The back
biiildiug caught fire some years ago on
the 4th of July in daylight, but was
extinguished before much injury had
been done, and we have no dor-bt both
were caused by some defect in the
building near the chimney, where both i
broke out. There was we believe no j
insurance on the building.
The Saw Mill in Minehart's Gap, we j
hear it reported, burnt down on fhur -
day night last.
■SoKUiiUM.—The cultivation of this !
j
saccharine plant last year was erin- •
neatly successful, and in many instan
res a pi in. o quality of molasses was j
made but little interior to the best syr- j
Hps, wnich sold readily at el o p-. i !
gat' ai. Up the river a consiuerat'ie
quantity was made, and in the vaile)
the machinery owned by Joel Zook and
others we have heard it sairl manufac
tured about 2300 gallons of molasses
from cane raised in that neighborhood,
five acres put out by Mr. Z. produced
tiearly but) gallons, realizing a profit
tar above anything else in the fanning
way. fliese facts show that Pennsyl
vania can readily free itself from ail j
dependence on the .South and est in j
dies for that article of general con- '
sumption—thai every farmer, ijanti an j
acre or two, can raise more Hum lie
can consume—and that even at oo ct>. !
per gallou it would be as protitutbe as i
wheat at $1 per bushel. The time is j
not distant when manufactories of aor- '
giium wiii bo as numerous tnrougii the
• uinlry as distilleries were of old, and
the sooner every farmer initiates him
twit into its culture, the better.
SuuiiEN DEATH. —John Carney, resi
ding on the i>heutelter place near tow n j
was found dead in his bed on .Sunday J
Turning last, lie had attended Mrs.
Henderson's sale the day before, up |
patently in as good health as usual.
81 he entertainment .given in the j
town Hall on Friday evening last by ;
sundry scholars ol the Presbyterian I
•Sabbath School, was a grand success
1 he young ladies must certainly have'
credit tor the manner in which their
tableaux were gotten up—one especial
ly > " Worshipping at the shrine of Ma !
donna"— elicited rounds of applause '
and acclamations of delight. The pro- j
feeds amounted to S3o.
