Finn.—Fire was discovered in the
flooring of ' the hall way of the county
jail, on Thursday morning last, at about
live o'clock. The fire was undoubtedly
communicated to the flooring by a rot of
rubbish that:bad accumulated on top of
the large heater . in the basement, and
which had been ignited by its heat. The
hall and eells of the prisoners were dense
ly filled with smoke and several of the
prisuuers were so lnearly suffocated that
they could scarcely walk when removed i
from their cells, l'he prisoners %Tem con;
fined in the dwell( g pail of the bnilding
while the flames were being extitiguishd.
The, fire department was promptly on
Land and put out the fire before much
damage was done. The loss is covered
by insurance.

The series of meetings which have been
held in the M. E. church in this place for
the last three weeks, are being drawn to
a close. They have been largely attended
from the commencement., Under the la
bors of the poster, Rev. .J. It. Angle, and
the 'Playing Band."—Messrs. A. G. Bax
ter, --4.3t1y Ballard, I). G. Smith, A. R.
Smith, Edward Partridge, and L Ballard,
the work has been carried forward to a
great success. During the progress of
the_ meetings, the people of our borough
and for miles away, scorned actuated by
a spirit of earnestness which soon began
to tell in the conversion of many, both
old.and young. Each night now converts
were added to the list, and the number
has reached, we are told, about two hun
dred at present writing. The earnest,
faithful work done by the -"Praying
Band," not only in the church, but in
their visits from house to house, has en
deared thtm to the hearts -of our well
thinking people. They leave for their
homes to-day, bearing with them the
kindest wishes of all.
The County Musical Alliance held a
four days session in our place the past
week, ending on Friday night with a
concert. The session was conducted by
Professor H. R. • Palmer, of Now York,
who ably sustained his -reputation as a
first-class teacher. Had ;the programme
been s handed us we would have given it
entire ts but suffice to say that the attend.
anco was large, and the concert a rich
treat to' lovers of music, and 'reflected
great crebit on the participants. Each
piece was well executed, and the entire
class present showed thorough drill. The
pianist, Miss - Bridgewan,
of Penn Yan,
presided at the piano during the session,
and acquitted herself so Well that a vote
of thanks was tendered her at the close,
as also to Professor \ Palmer. The t.lti
zens generally were , kindly. remembered
for their generous hospitality to the at
tendants.
The piano for the occa sion was furnish.
ed by E. S. Keeler, and kept'in tune by

Old men are not always wise, neither
do gray hairs always bring knowledge. I
am three-score and fifteen, with little or
no education, but I have my eyes and
ears, which I have always triul to use to
the best advantage. I live on the -plain
at the loot of the moats wonderful little
hill in the State. 801120 years ago there
'was an act passed by the State Legisla
ture making provisions for a geological
survey of -the State. After the appoint
ment of the engineers I received a letter
from a friend in Towanda, saying ho
would come up and bring with him those
scientific gentlemen. I have seen none
of them. If there has been any survey,
Ido not know it. I never supposed the
little hill to contain any valuable minerals,
but there - are many things about it I
would like to have explained geologically.
I am no geologist, but with your permis
sion, in a future number, I will try to set
forth some of the curiosities of this little
_mound.
The first blow struck in the South Val
ley was in October 1818, by Hoyt Ballard;
and William McKean, in the shape:l,er a
shunting cabin. It soon attracted a set of
squatters, whose solo object was to make
shingles, and they lived from hind to
mouth, so they made but little imprint*.
ment. About the year 1836, the people
from Sugar Creek began to - buy out those
poss_asions, and clear oft farms, and now
we do not consider ourselves behind any
of the older settkiments, especially in
butter and wheat ; as for corn and pork,
we think we take the rag.
• In the matter of schools' we are not
ashamed of our young folks, although we
have not seen a County Superintendent
for a; long time.
Our school in Pine Grove district began
well, but our teacher took a violent cold,
and probably has taught his last sehool,
(his name was Guile).
Our lumber facilities are good. We
have a good steam mill, owned by, Mrs.
Dickinson, and run by.daines Sawyer.
-Albert, Prnyme, who sprained ,his ankle
very badly some six weeks since, is able
to be about again.
Our apples (what few there was) have
all rotted. -
Mr. John V. Beard, the first perma
nent, settler here, aged nearly 70. married
Mrs. Locale swain, aged 3i, iu December
last. -
Our grist mill facilities are abundant
and good. B. L. Rockwell & Son have
one of the best establishments in the coun
ty. Their mill has three run of stones, . a
double saw mill, shingle and lath mill.
If I should write again I will try to be

The large amount of property left by
Stephen - Girard, to the city of Philadel
phia, in trust for several different chari
ties, and which has greatly increased in
value, Until it now amounts to several
millions of dollars, has been claimed . by
persons who pretend to be his heirs, and
who seek to set aside his will, but so far un
successfully. Lately Judge Ludlow deci
ded a case in eqUity against the heirs,
who have taken an appeal to the Supreme
Court. The man whl dies and leaves a
large estate, is a friend to the lawyers.
An'investigation has been going on for
several days at the Girard House, before
Master • and - Examiner Sweitzer, in the
case of certain oil' refining companies
against the Pennsylvania and other rail
road companies, pipe lines, &c., with ref

Machinery Hall was sold at auction on
Saturday list, by order of the city author.
Wes. Tbe sale did not attract much at
tention and the first bid was but $2500.
It was finally run up to $24,000, at which
pike it was knocked down to the firm of
W. C. Allison & Co., the car builders.
The building cost to erect $034,867 48.
A large number of abandoned exhibits
were also sold, to persons who seemed
deairons of getting &souvenir of the Cen
tennial. Tho Japanese Baiar, a quaint
structure, north of the main • building,
which your readers will remember as the
place where the Japs sold their peculiar

was a fine specimen of Japanese carpen

ing, all the joining- being done by match
ing or dovetailing, all the material baying
been wrought in Japan, and brought

Quite a:flurry was created in politiCal
circles by the announcement of' the up,
pointment of General Hartrauft,' as Post
master, Governor Pollock, as Naval pfi
cer, and .Colonel Snowden, at Superinten
dent of the Mint. This programme ex
plains the coquetting of Colonel Snowden,
with the offer of the Directorship of the
Mints, and his hesitancy in accepting the
proffered honor, which wouldbave neces
sitated his removal from this city. The
post in which he has been placed, is more
to his taste, and one for which le is pe
culiarly fitted. Governor Ilartranft will
make an efficient and popalar postmaster
should ho conclude to. accept—though
there are many of his friends who think
that from Governor to Postmaster is too
niu3h of a descent. Gov. Pollock's -many
friends will be glad - -to learn . that the
transfer from the Mint to the Naval Office
places him in an office much more desira
ble than his present position. Some of
the papers speak of the retirement of the
present Naval Officer, Heistand,.ae a re
moval. Such is not the case. His term
expired March Ist, and he ha's net sought
nor expected a reappointment. The prop
er care of his daily newspaper—the Lan
caster Enquirer—now one of the most in
fluential and prosperous papers in the
State. imperatively deminded all his time.
No man in the State has more and warm
er friends than Jack Heistand, and we
are certain the patrons of his paper and
'the party will be the gainers, from the
fact that he can give- to his editorial la
bors his undivided 'attention...
The Mayor is continuing his raid on the
low variety theatres, with vigor and good
results. jOn Saturday night a vile place
called Ezioch's Varieties was raided, and
about two hundred persons arrested and
brought to the central station. The mot
ley crowd 'comprised perfoimerk and
boys and women. The proprietor was
-held in $lOOO bail, and the others in nom
inal sums, , for future good behavior, and
in default were all locked np for the'
night. The wily Fox, who has eluded
the police fin some time, by doubling and
turning, and throwing off the scent, was
finally captured last week in Montgomery
County, brought into court and placed
under heavy bonds.
NeCards.—The Union League Club
has been agitated from basement to attic
by the question of card playing. A por
tion of the members desired the Privi
lege of a social game of euchre or old
sledge or mugging, to while away the'
leisure hours, but the staid andraroper fo
gies of the concern, fearing that the
youngsters might be tempted ocoasionally
to put up aAnarter "ante," have always
strenuously opposed the wicker - Inno
vation. So it was determined to take a
vote upon the momentous question.. The
result was adverse to the card-playing
party, and the League will never know
the mysteries of "draw poker" and "sev
en np." . •
