STRANGE FATALITY.—Near the road be
'-'".011 Ltlloy and Canton, may be seen the foun
• 'ti-m for a barn, with a few sticks of blackened
d charred timbers lying about it. The history
ot l - ls foundation and the structure which was at
'•- .'ted to be placed upon it is a remarkable one.
' - proprietor of the barn wishing to remove it
j froia one side of the road to the other, invited
some of his neighbors to assist him. In taking the
timbers down, ono of the large beam 3 fell, instant
ly i dling one of the persons engaged. The job
*as then abandoned tor a few days, when it was
again resumed, and the barn was removed to the
afoundation fixed for it. Here another very se
rioxs accident occurred. A bright little boy—son
of the proprietor of the barn—was struck by a fall
tag timber and killed. The work was again sus
pended fur a few days, at the end of which time
t:-> work was commenced again, and completed.—
A strange fatality yet awaited the structure. No
- or had it been completed than it was struck
by lightning and entirely demolished. This occur
r> 1 .several years since, but the decaying walls and
tinibt rs have never been touched. They still re
man to remind the neighborhood of the sad tale
connected with them.
. M. (J. A.—The first lecture of the
course, before the Young Mens' Christian Associa
tion, was delivered by S. M. HEWLETT, Esq., of
Philadelphia. Although but partial notice of the
lecture was given, a very good audience was in at
tendance, and we do not exaggerate in the least,
when we say that no better lecture Las ever been
listened to in this place. Mr. 11. came here an ut
ter st; anger, and yet we venture the prediction
that hereafter his name will be sufficient to draw
uu audience equal to BEECIIER or CHAIXN. On
Thursday evening Mr. HEWLETT delivered u free
lecture on temperance by request of the Sons of
1 emperance. Long before the hour for the com
mencement of the lecture, the house was crowded
to overflowing. The lecturer spoke for two hours,
during which hardly a person in the house moved,
except as he moved them by his inimitable deline
ations. He is the most perfect impersonator we
ever listened .to. If addresses like his will not
arouse our people to action in the temperance
cause, we do not know what will. Many consider
him equal, if not superior to GOCGH.
One of the most profitable and suc
c sial meetings ever held in this village was that
of Friday night of last week. The Hall was filled
<.i(lowing with anxious and intelligent people.
hmr..ble speeches were npule by W. S. Lincoln
eur candidate for Congress, D. O. Hancock of
-Uego and Hon. G. A. Grow of Pennsylvania. Air.
II of course made the speech, leaving the oth
- '"U the iragments, but all were pungent, forei
* and of acknowledged candor. P. I. Hedges

FRUIT TREES.— The business of furnishing
Fruit Trees to the farmers of this County, has be
come a large and important one. Very properly
fanners are turning their attention to raising l'ruit
which from the high price it commands in market!
e m hai lly fail in coming years to prove profits
i Me. The experience of farmers in buying frui
trees from travelling agents, has not in all cases
been satisfactory, as they have been furnishec
with poor trees, the refuse of tho nursery, anc
those coming in such a condition as to be worth
less.
We had an opportunity last week of examining
a lot of fruit trees, from the Seneca Lake Highland
Nurseries, of which Col. E. C. FBOST is proprietor,
which were being delivered to the purchasers.—
They appeared to be ?he best stock of trees w
have ever seen, taken up and handled in the bc-si
possible manner, and delivered in fine order. Col.
FROST'S nursery has a high reputation, and he is
one of the most reliable and experienced Horticul
turists in the country.
EI.HIRA ITEMS.—The Elmira Oil Refinery
took fire on Wednesday morning last and was en
tirely consumed including 150 barrels of oil. Two
men were burned by this sudden and terrific con
flagration one of whom died in a few hours. The
lire was occasioned by an explosion in the Refin
ery, bu: the immediate cause of the explosion is
unknown. Loss about SO,OOO. No insurance.
As a Miss A\ ise, of Ilcming, Cayuga
county, N. Y., was crossing over an open sewer in
Elmira, last week," her hoops caught, and she fell,
headforemost, a distance of nine feet, cutting her
slightly, and otherwise bruising her.
— r iiie Elmira Advertiser says that Hie re
sults of the Pennsylvania el ction proves that no
man is certain of attaining a high position simply
because he isrti Cli/nur.
Hur.ng a recent fire in Elmira, some
scamp stole a pocket book, containing sllO, lrorn
between the beds he was carrying out,
—The Soldiers of the Southern-tier, met
in Mass -Meeting at Elmira, on the 25th ult., mak
ing tin greatest demonstration ever kuown in Che
mung County. The number of people present was
estimated at 15,000, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. Speaking was had from two different
stands in the park. Gov. CIBTIN was one of the
speakers. The Advertiser says that "such a turn
oiit of soldiers, true as steel to the Union, has not
been known since the war closed. They came an
imated by the old spirit, wearing their faded uni
forms, which had seen hard service before tho en
emy, donning their old army badges and renewing
their fraternity which they cherished when com
rades in arms. There can he no mistake of the re
sult, w hen at the sound of alarm, such a rallying
follows as causes quakings of fear and terrible tre
pidation among Northern Copperheads and Sontlr
ern rebels."
®SrTbe fust freight which t>: -• through
this place west about 2 P. il. came iu collision on
Tuesday last, with a two-horse wagon from Bur
lington, belonging to Hon. C. F. Nichols, demol
ishing the wagon but doing no oth -r inj try, t
frightening horses and driver amazingly. A team
had crossed the track ahead of the train and the
driver of this not being accustomed to the speed
of trains, thought he could do the same, but he
paid well for the experiment. The other team be
came frightened and ran some distance but did no
damage.— Waverly Ad.
BSi*. Hon. C. K. Coburn is expected to be
present at the annual meeting of the Teachers'
Association at East Siuithfield, Nov. oth and 10th.
Prof. Chas. 11. Verril, of Mansfield Normal School,

WRITTEN HALL, ANDREWS & Co. give

ORIENT BCSNIXG FURD.—This burning fiu
id which is manufactured in Elmira, N. Y., has
been extensively used in New York and New Eng
land for the past year, and gives universal satis
faction. It is the cheapest light in use, bums one
third longer than kerosene, and twice as long as
any other fluid manufactured, emitting no un
pleasant or offensive sin-, il,burning without smoke
or odor, and less injurious to the eyes than any
other light in use. It is absolutely non-explosive
and entirely safe.
The agent for Pennsylvania, Mr. H. W. MIIXEK,
is now at the Means House in this place, and will
exhibit the peculiar burning properties of this flu
id, and also show testimonials of the high favor
with which it i. regarded wherever used. House
keepers and dealers will do w ell to give him a cull.
