If a se cond term was tendered him on a silver platter he wouldnottake it. THE.New York Tribune says: "The 'Republican party always did have a way of bossing its bosses." . Exactly : as was shown in 1872, when it bossed GREELEY and the rest of the bossing bosses. To.wssiND has retired from the WrifrrAKr.n investigation at Wept Point, not from any belief in the guilt of the col ored cadet, but.he feels his presence from tie first has been irritating and 'obnox ious to the officers . conducting the case, and discourtesy tith which be was treat ed has been extr mely unpleasant. A YOLIiC girl was tried , last week. at Lancaster charged with poisoning her step-motber's infant. She was acquitted, the evidence showing that 'in the same cupboard was - kept arsenic, corn starch, clear starch, and whitesugar.

In, plain words it says :--‘qici.can tap the purses ,of .thousands of patriotic friends;" A great inducement, while TILDEN can play that gamo much stronger.

Mr. CURTIN was defeated by .the defection of several of the Democrat ic menabers, who the Times styles:!"

Un til this action is approved by the other branch of the Legislature, ratified by a succeeding Legislature, and passed upon by a vote of the people, it is of no avail : but it is nevertheless something accom .plii,hed, and shows a remarkable change in public.opinion. ' • 'Env now-and-then we read the ac- Count of s,:nee vast estate in England, whose .countless millions have laid for years in the Bank of England, waiting fur the legal heirs. The last which has cometo our notice, is the JENNINGS Cs- We, which has interested all the JEN NINGS' in the country. It ls hardly need less to say that there is no money in the hands of any Court in England which is unclaimed, belonging to this estate. Ii Denuieratic org, , ans are to be believ ed, TILDEN is not a tit candidate for President if Republican Organs speak the truth, neither GRANT nor!IILAINv. nor EnNIAN Ore proper - nofniuees, and would only 'make defeat certain. This -indiscriminate and general mud-throwing is altogether too much in fashion. Isn't h barely possible that the "dish of crow " may he made too strong for digestion, and that seine of the mud thrown may stick after the nomination is made? V . INv.ED from any standpoint, the trou: lilb in Illinois is unfortunate; butit is ev ident that there was no course ()lien to "the GRANT Republicans , except that • adopted b them: : 'The refUsal to: recog isniie the rule which had been so long fol . lowcd in Cook County of allowing dis triets to name their delegates, was so pal pably wrong that resistance wasthe no eessity of the botr.

If we are tb cred- it the estimates put uut by the Rresiden tial clubs and bureaus, then" are to be at least three winners, and possibly four. But it is well understood that in all these prognos'ications the wish is father to the prophecy. .

'TIIE greater part'of the town of t Mil ton, Northumberland County, was de stroyed by fire Friday. The flames start ed in the car works at the Northern' end of the town, and swept from street to street until; the open country at its South ern, end was reached. The buildings de stroyed include all the hotels, all the churches, j two banks, the opera house, telegraph office, two newspaper' o ffi ces and all the stores except two.

Cnunctr,, , Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals, died suddenly, of apoplexy, - at his residence, in Albion, N. Y., Friday. He bad been slightly unwell for several days. Thurs day forenoon: while in the Orleanii Coun ty National Bank, hi was seized with a pain in his chest, and was driven home. He alighted and walked to his room with out assistance, but his physician was at once sqmmoned. When then doctor ar rived .Fudge Ctruncrt was in terrible pain. and before medicine could be administer ed, he - struggled a little, turned slightly purple; fell on his side atd expired. His death has given a great shock to the corn- , munity in which lie lived, for he was lov ed and esteemed by all.. IN December, 1878, an old wood-chop per named RABER, was murdered near Indiantown, Lebanon County, for the porpOse of securing a life insurance of several thousand dollars. Six persons were implicated, tried and convicted for the mur&r. One escaped the gallows on legal grounds—two were hung some time ago, and on, Thursday last• three others adorned the gallows tree at Lebanon. They were alJ—victim and murderers illiterate people, and the great wonder is that RARER'S life should have been insured by any reputable In surance Company for the large sum, the possession of which seems to hay? been the instigation and motive of the plot and caused the violent death of the poor, fee ble old man. Tilt; danger of the carelss handling of fire arms received a fresh illustration last week,' though we doubt if 'even these striking examples will suffice to prevent victims from being offered up.. At Balti more, some men were engaged in break ing uP ord shells,. when one was struck which exploded with terrific effect, in stantly killing six persons and wounding two others. An unknown German, who was a spectator, was literally blown to atoms. Portions of his lxxly were found in every - direction, and the largest part found was - an arm. At Philadelphia, a young man named PLATT, engaged in sky-larking with such innocent playthings as a gun and revolver, slipt and killed a friend named Wll.r.rAms. Of course be was sarry for it, as he didn't mean to do his friend any harm. DO INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCT ? One of the most remarkable and not most creditable features of the present contest for the Presidential nomination is the, altogether strange and demoralizing code of , ethics put forward as the new political dispen sWon. According to the political evangejs who are preaching the new gospel, instructions do not instruct, promises have no binding obligation, but both can be set aside as an idle mockery, to satisfy caprice, to gratify animosity, or promote private inter est. Respectable newspapers are daily announcing that delegates elect ed to the Chic ago Convention will set at defiance the instructions of the power which created them', will prove false to the implied if not expressed obligations which were part and par cel of their creation, and in violation of all the rules which control honor iable men, will traitorously do the thing they were chosen not to do. We look upon these demonstrations and declarations with regret, not con sidering whose prospects of advance ment may be affected by them, but because we believe the doctrine thus advocated and applauded strikes at the very root of political moiality and fair-dealing, and if encouraged and established would break up the Republican organization. This is no time for . discussing the necessity there is for organization and discipline in any party which merits or desires success. There arc certain preliminaries necessary, tvith- out which it is a helpless, boisterous mob, numerically strong, perhaps, but incapable of great . etfort, of ac complishing any good. results, unless controlled and directed in AI proper manner. This calls for leadership, and what it is now fashionable flip pantly to call " the machine." This acknowledged principle, has created the caucus and convention system, which are approved as the best known plan for crystallizing and expres4- ing the popular will. Grant that it may be defective, often perhaps abused, yet no one has• been able to devise a better system. Though all power is inherent in the people, yet 'we of Bradford County, delegate our power to the County Committee, who a f e understood to be invested with authority to appoint Committees of . \ - igilance, to call a County Con vention of delegates, whose action fairly expressed, should bind ()Very right:minded, sincere' Republican voter.- There never was, nor never can be entire unanimity in a politi cal party, where widely divergent in terests and manifold prejudices exist, but it is the duty of the minority to yield to the expressed will of the majority. If our County Convention eleas delegates to a State Conven tion and instructs thein to support for nomination . a certain candidate, shall oue of those delegates whore' sides in Athens or Canton, refuse to obey those instructions because be believes, or affects to believe, that the people of his distiict do not agree in sentiment with the express ed preference of the Convention ? No one, except in the blinding heat of an excited political controversy. would assert such a monstrous and dangerous doctrine. Yet there are respectable papers which_ are nouncing with great glee, and every mark of approbation, that delegates elected by the late State Convention, will disobey their instructions. That Convention, was called for the pur pose of electing Delegates to the Chicago Convention. It hid the un questioned right to instruct those del g ates to vote for the choice of the [Convention, and further to in struct, them to vote. ''as a unit. Whether or not that preference is in accordance with oar feelings, or was politic or proper, is not now matter of controversy. As there was anun- doubted power and right in the Con vention so to act, the assumption that a delegate created by that Con vention may set aside the instructions for any avowed reason, is false in theory, malicious in practice, and full of peril to the party: Honor. and fair. dealing are, as necessary in Tolitics as in the every day transactions of, life, and cannot be disrexardo — with )safety. The straight path of rectitude leads to the happiest results, even in political affair?. In our humble judgment, the delegate who accepted an aßpOintrnent at the hands of the State Convention, 'cannot do leas than carry out the instructions of that Convention, whatever may be his personal preferences, without for feiting the •good opinion of every fair-minded and 'honorable man, and without establishing, a principle which will inevitably lead to disaster. WE bare sometimes had our doubts about there being any such man as. Tu.- nEs. We have looked upon him as being a myth—an imaginary individual, made -use of to serve the purposes of the Demo cratic party. Lately, hoWever, there has been simile evidence that -there -is really a person of that name, actually living in the flesh, though the physical condition is a matter of controversy. Evil minded people there are, who assert that he is en feebled in Abody, though strong , in mind ; that ho is ifara!yzed to such an extent that he halts - in,his gait, one arm swings useless at his side, and his articulation is but a whisper. Against these malicious insinuations is now offered the evidence . of- his friend MOIAER, who. testifies that -the Sage is physically a Hercules, athlet ic, vigorous and sprightly, and capable like Atlas of bearing the world on :his broad shoulders. To make assurance doubly sure, to set . all doubts at rest, comes forward Editor WATTERSON, who had the great privilege of enjoying-tile so ciety of Timms, and feeding at hid boun, tiful board. lie does not make him sucli a-giant in strength, nor the. possessor oi such rugged health ; in fact ho admit* something of a lack 'Of robustness in he physique of the Sago, with a possibility of the debilitating efforts of a paralytic atMek. Still he has dined with him of ten, and has never seen him under the necessity of having his food cut by some otheryerson. It is gratifying to know that able to carve his chops. It would be very humiliating to the Ameri can citizen to acknowledge that the occu pant of the Presidential chair was placed at the tabln like an infant, with A bib around his neck, and his food cut and carried to his mouth by an attendant. THE following statement as to the I ibis delegation is from the Philadelphia Tinos, which would not be suspected of coloring it for GRANT. It is probably not far from the truth :—" The delegates to the Illinois Republican State Convention have new. been chosen in all but three small counties, which will not materially change the result. The' GRANT men claim more than 100 majority over the combined BLAINE and WASHBURN forces, outside of Cook county, which would give GRANT a clear majority with the entire anti , GuANT delegation from COok county admitted. The Chicago 17711811, strongly anti- GRANT, classifies the delegates omitting Cook county, as follows: GRANT 330, BLAINE 214, WASH nr.o; 47—giving GRANT a majority of (19 over all opposi tion. This estimate may be regarded as in no degree partial to GRANT, and it is safe to assume that the GRANT men, under the lead of LoGAN, will control the convention. They could throw out the entire anti-GRANT delegation from Cook county, but that would cause a bolt and , double conventions, With a contesting delegation to the National Convention, and it is not probable that ,it will be att tempted. They .will be more likely to. Obey the established usage of the party in Cook county by admitting the delegates as they would have been chosen by the several local districts, which would admit nearly an equal number for GRANT and WASURURN and about 20 for BLAINE, thus adding about 20 to the anti-GRANT side of the convention:, With the Cook delegation thus divided; thdGßANT,Ma jority overall would be about 50. EXTENSI%;E forest flies have' caused heavy losses, this month, by the destruc tion of valuable limber .and the burning of wells, houses and barns. In the Brad ford►oil district, towns, tanks and wells have been involved in a common destruc tion. The loss is estimated at over half a million of-dollars. In Northeastern Penn sylvania, forest fires' have raged with un usual and destructive violence. Millions of feet of lumber and thousands of acres ..of valuable timber have been consumed. The pine forests of Southern Now Jersey have been on fire in lleveral counties, and the flames have swept, over the country, burning the timber and destroying cran berry bogs and vineyards. Several towns have suffered, narrowly escaping total de struction. Fences, buildings, and barns in the path of the destroying element have been swept away. The losses are very heavy, and in many instances will cause suffering. It is said that more damage has been accomplished by the April and May fires, than by all the fires occurring during the past twenty years. .Tusn; have thus far been chosen 050 ont of the 750 delegates composing the Chicago .liational Republican Convention. Of these there are either by direct in struction or by personal preference 313 reported as supping General 911AfiT, 214 Senator BLAME, 72 Secretary Snza- XXII, 84 - Senator EDMUNDS, and 17 Mr. WA.BIIBURNE. In this enumeration the entire 58 -votes of Petmsylvania and 70 votes of New York are given to (hoard Guazrr. ,Them are to be added' to this calculation, 106 delegates as folknra rilidoia, 42; Minnesota, 10; Nebraska, 6 which were chosen in these States peter'. day ; Alabama, 10, elected to-day ; Lonis tans, 16, (May 24; Colorado, 6, (May 25); and Dakota, Idaho, and Wyoming each two. The majority necessary to nomi nate a President, is 379.. There have also been chosen 298 out of the 738 delegates composing the Cincin nati Natiorial DemocratioConvention, of whom 148 are reported as supporting Mr. TILDEN, 64 General DAwcoeic, 44 Sera tor TIICIIMAIO4 Senaior BAYARD, and the preferences of 28 are unknown. • The majority necessary to nominate a Presi dent, if the "two-thirds" rule is adhered to, is 492. TELE New York Tribune is now "get- Ling even" with General GRANT. The d isamintments and thwarted hopes of '72, which have ranked since that memorable campaign are now being gratified and re venged by daily attacks upon the Ex-, President. Failing to defeat him then, the Tribunelis now wreaking its venge ance by ind r Ulging daily in remarks and insinuationi4; which ; coming-from a pro fessedly Republican paper are ill.timed, to say the least. It is attempting - to do Under the guise of friendship to the par ty, what it failed to accomplish by open defection. The New York Times is engaged in' a similar disrepUtable work by assailing both SHERMAN' and BLAINE.: It is pub lishing malicious and Unfounded' attacks upon the Secretary of the Treasury, in volving. his official and Political character. Its hostility to BLAINE is Manifested by allusions to the Mulligan letters, to his 'Chinese speech, and to the "Little Rock Railroad," , witlr characteristic sneers about i` corruption." We have no pa tience with such professedly Republican ournals its are engaged in vituperating possible Presidential candidates, or en deavoring to convince people that they should not be voted for, and cannot be elected. A little more of this disposition ou the part of Republicans and it. would be a waste of time to hold the Chicago Convention. TILE New York Tribune is hotly engag ed in the defense of ROBERTSON, WOOD- . IN, -Bt. al., as against the charge of dis honor in violating the unit rule. The t'e fense is that the convention had no right to instruct district delegates, and, hence the bolt is luinorable - and rights This leaves several essential facts out !of the case. The _gentlemen referred to _were part and parcel of the convention that did the instructing, and WOODIN made a speech declaring the right and power of, the convention in doing so, and• affirming his intention to obey. The case, then, is as ffillows : Both these gentlemen, and all the bolters in the New York delega tion, were members of the State Conven tion, and joined in the very instructions they now bolt, from. That their course is honorable no sensible journal can af firm. TILE Philadelphia Times isn't happy because of the triumph of Yocum over CURTIN. It has many reasons to give why the unsatisfactory result was brought about. Part of the _defection," says a correspondent of that paper, "of the Southern Brigadiers was intended as a direct blow to RANDALL." And ALEX ANDER 11. STEPREI , III, "ex-Vico President of the late Confederacy," is, accused of ingratitutle in oliposing CURTIN, because the great War Governor interceded to have the arch traitor released from Old Capitol Prison in which he was imprison ed in 1865. Poo4:)r CU'RTIN'S political apo stasy has brought him no benefits, but has lost him the respect of his friends and gained him the contempt of his new associates. A SENSATION was created in the WHIT TAKER case at West Point, on Saturday, by the experts reporting that the letter of warning received by the colored cadet *as written by himself. Another expert made a still more important discovery, that the threatening note had been written on a slip of paper torn from the letter begun to the cadet's mother. The evidence thus adduced seems to be conclusive against _WHITTAKER. THE 31.. E. General Conference last week elected four new bishops—Revs. Drs.

When the bell at St. Peter's ChuDit, at Fifth street and Girard avenue, pealed forth the hour of 2 Thursday afternoon, between thirty and forty strangely-attired men and women emerged from the " Old Chair Factory " at Sixth and Oxford streets and quietly wended their way down the former-named thoroughfare. They were the privates of the Salvation Army, and their mission was that, of " raiding " the drinking saloons in the neighltirhood of Eleventh street and Girard avenue. About the same hour a squad oP Twelfth-district - police, under the command of Sergeant Brode, left the station, Tenth and Thomson streets, their mission being to raid anybody who at tempted to interfere with the salvation people. Arriving at their point of desti nation, the latter halted in front of the saloon of George W. Metzger, southeast corner of Eleventh street and Girard avenue. Mr. Metzger interposed no ob jection to the " army " entering his place, but tapped a couple extra kegs of beer. The ." army " entered, and several of the more active members took Up a position in the centre of the barroom, and began operations. Daring the three hours that followed religious sentiment beer llow&l,freely ; but the latter, it was apparent, made the deepest impression on a majority of those present. It was a big card for Metzger, and when the:ser vices concluded he invited the " army " to drop in jast as often as it was conven ient to the members. • When the Washington express arrived iri the West Philadelphia depot Wednes day monai4 )g, the dead body of an un known man was found onAhe top of one of the sleeping cars: On the side of his head was a deep gash, which had Svi dently been received While the train I Was pasiing under a bridge, which was "the cause of his death. The latest case of absentmindedness is reported in the papers. It is thiti of a well-dressed lady who rode down Chest !lnt street in a summer car. She had'a parasol in one hand and held a baby with the other. While gazing intently at a gentleman, with checkered pants and a 'red necktie her sun-shield slipped from her grasp and slid coolly down on - the track under the wheels. As the huge bind wheels rolled with a or-r-ack , over the doomed article, the mother dropped her infant on the seat beside her, and gazing wildly down upon the dusty street, shrieked, in terrified tones : "My child my ant !" The car stopped, an excited crowd ,quickly gatherer} , Wand, -kkini when the torn and broken parieol was picked up and exhibited the owner fainted awajr—torn mortificatiou—ind the -pea pie who had , collected to witness a pa thetic scene began to realize that the gayly-kin:BmA woman hid involuntarily sold them. A Nisw York pickpocket, named Jones with a dozen aliases, undertook to ply his vocation in this city. He was arrested on Tuesday while attempting to get away with a wallet containing $1,036, which a confederate had passed to him on a car at Eleventh! and Girard avenue, after taking it fiom the pocket of William Kneissel, a brewer. He was taken be fore the grind jury Wednesday morning and indicted, and then arraigned before Judge Thayer. Upon entering a plea of. guilty he was sentenced to two years in the Eastern Penitentiary. Some of the soldiers who enjoyed . the hospitalities of the Cooper Shop Refresh ment Saloon, in this city, have not for gotten those who were at the head of the establishment, and have expressed their lgratitude in a proper manner. Three thousand six hundred dollars were receiv ed from Boston last week, for the benefit of Mrs. Cooper, wife of William H. Coo per, who established that noted charity, and whose family is now reported to be in straightened circumstances. It is announced that six Peaee Com missioners, who brought harmony out of discord at the Harrisburg Democratic State Convention, are to meet in this city ou the 21st instant 4 to adjust the differ ences:between the two rival local Demo cratic organizations known as the Regu lar of the County organizations. The celebrated Whittaker will _case was decided on Thursday, by a verdict in f.tvor 'of the heirs, and against •the genu ineness of the will presented by Lawyer Dickerson. Thecase has attracted much atteutiOn from the amount of property involved, and the time occupied in the trial. In 1878, Robert Whittaker, a mi- - serly old millionaire, was killed while crossing the railroad track near Holmes burg. His heirs presented a will for pro bate, and William R. Dickerson, a lawyer formerly of this city, wrote from New York, advising the Register that he had . in his possession Whittaker's last. will and testament.: r After various hearings, an issue was joined in the Common Pleas and the trial commenced before a jury, January sth, and was concluded Thurs day, over one hundred and fifty witnesses being 'examined, and eight thousand 'printed pages of testimony taken. It is now expected that DickersOn and his as sociates will be prosecuted criminally. There was.a great outpouring of the • friendtor temperance at the Academy of Music on Thursday evening, to welcome and Icompliment Francis Murphy. The speakers were John Wanamaker, Henry Ward Beecher, and Francis Murphy. The appearance of the far- - fameci Plymouth preacher was hailed with the most up roarious demonstrations of applause. The clapping of hands continued for some time, during _which tho . robust orator gaz ed complacently upon the excited assem blage. There is a charm about Mr. Beecher's manner and matter in speaking • which delights an audience. His remarks were practical, with occasional sallies of wit, keeping his hearei:s in good humor from first to last. Miirphy spoke briefly, telling some ludicrous anecdotes, and end ing with a .glowing peroration which nearly carried him '" up in a balloon." The burthen W i th° speeches was toincul cafe the golden principle which has been the marrow of the Murphy movement— "charity toward all malice toward none." DESTRUCTION OF MILTON Over Six Hundred Buildings Burned. Two Thousand People Made Homeless A fire commenced in Milton, North timberland .Countv,: this State, on Friday morning at a few minutes before noon which desolated the vil lage. Hardly any part of the doom ed village escaped. Over six hundred buildings succumbed to the flames— many of them being stately Offices and extensive manufacturing estab lishments. Not a church building, save 'The Episcopalian and a small structure used by the colored people for religious service, is left standing out of nine ; only one hotel remains;, only two stores, a small grocery and a drug store, are Standing ; both banks arc gone, and: the Postotfice, th4.3lilionian and M'ependent print 'hie. offices also.. Si complete has' been the devastation that scarcely anything outside of the tolling mill, at the iciwer end of what was Milton, is left to make a show of business life. The fire broke out in the large ear shops of Murray, Dougal & Co., and a high wind prevailing at the time, the fire soon destroyed this monster establishment. The wind carried the fire in every direc tion, and soon spread over the en tire town, sweeping everything be fore it like a tornado. There was no use trying to stop its headway, for it rushed with resistless fury to every point, baffling all efforts to fight- it with ' the means at hand. People were compelled to fly for their lives, without time to save their valuable private property. By three o'clock everything from the depot to the canal and from the canal to the river was burned to' the ground. Out on the open ground. in the fields, graveyards, and along the river shore, are depoSited household goods saved from the flames ; and huddled. together in, little groups among this furniture were weeping , women and children homeless and desolate. Such a scene as this' presented is sel dom witnessed—almost a whple town of thirty-two to thirty-five ;hundred inhabitants with nailing to Shelter them from the chilly air ; The flames rose to a great height as they Kited upon the light frame buildings in their conrse, and devoured every thing combustible in an incredibly short space of time. The heat from the burning buildings was intense, and the frightened inhabitants fled in terror from the onward march of the dread destroyer. Many persons were unable to save all their effects, 'so rapid did the fire progress. Terror and consternation were depicted upon all countenances when it became evi dent that the fairest part of the town was doomed to destrUction, and as the sea of flame rose and fell like the angry waves of the sea, the cheeks of many persons. were blanched with fear at the appalling spectacle which greeted 'their eyes. Frantic people blinded with smoke and - burning embers rushed through the streets terror-stricken in every direction. Towering church steeples tottered like drunken men and dash ed themselves into the streets with a tremendous crash, adding horror to the situation. Heavy streams of water were of no avail. whatever, and the Bremen were compelled to retreat from ..almdst every ,position taken, and it was only after the destruction had been completed and there was no more. food for the insatiable monster to devour that its appetite was ap peased and the strife ended. 1 Heads of families who hid been in tt morning in comfortable circum stances looked upon the ruins of their property with tear-stained cheeks, and swollen, eyes, penniless and without a roof to cover the fortunate heads of , Ithediselves or families. One of the saddest affairs connect- ed with this fire was the burning of an aged man named Angeny. Ile was about seventy-five years old, and it is supposed he was suffocated by the awoke and fell aft& escaping from his house, as his charred re mains were found lying between two buildings back of Cox's hotel. It is impossible to say how much territory has been burned in acres. It is thought, however, that the space is larger than the great Chicago fire sgverat'years ago, and it is no exag geration to say that. the 'space burn ed over is not less than one mile in length by one-half mile in width; The following churches, some of whicii were, fine brick edificea fell victims to the flames. The Presby terian, Reformed, Methodist, Catho lic, Baptist, Lutheran and Evangeli cal. There are but two edificea sav ed, one being a small Episcopal and the other the African church. A small school house, one story high, is the only building of the kind left in the place. Every store with two ex ceptions ; every hotel and saloon save one have been swept, away. Steamers from the following ulaces were sent to help subdue the flames; Lewisburg, WatsonVide, Sunbury, Muncy, Williamsport, Dan Ville, and two railroad steamerstfrom Sunbury. It is estimated thatAhe loss by this fire ifiCabout one Million eight hun dred. thousand dollars. The insur ance is probably4ight hundfd thous and dollars, divided betwedn "yen ty-five to one hundred companies, MILTON, May 17.—The locattelief committee has issued an app .n al to the public, which says: After a careful personal insp4ction of the situation, we submit to the people of Pennsylvnia, and the be nevolent everywhere, the following statement of the extent of the losses, the condition of the l inhabitants, and aid that is necessary for Vat: proper relief of the town. the losses-;-The fire swept with total destruction in the brief space of. five hours an area of c:ine mile long and . a half a mile wide, compactly built, covering the entire business and. the best built pOrtion , of the town, and including with a very few and minor -exceptions all the Churches, stores,• banks and manufac tories, involving a loss of about $2,000,000; insured only to the ex tent of about $500,000, as nearly as we can ascertain. Second, the efindition—The immedi, ate necessities' of the inhabitants fort food ,have been - met by the prompt. and generouS contributions of pro-: visions from the surrounding country and towns near at. hand. Still more supplies of foofl will be necessary be fore the people can relieve them selves. Hundreds and hundreds of people—men, women and childrep— are houseless and penniless, having nothing left but the clothes on their backs. Third, The needs—At the present I time cont r ibutions of medical sup plies, clothing fur males and females,. of all ages, are much needed. In five short hours this beautiful and flourishing town has been laid in -astie , -.` The accumulation and es tablished business of ' generations have been' totally consumed. Those who arOse in the morning from the beds in elegant -and comfortable homes, as well as more humble dwel lings, found themselves at night without homes, without property and without business, or occupation. - Everybody is looking anxiously, into the dark and uncertain future; and while in one thought they bewail the loss of everything dear to them, in the next they are asking themselves how it will ever be possible for then' to retrieve their ruined fortunes. To the generous hearted public we would say that in our opinion, the mere supply of food, medicine and clothing'will come far short! 9f the measure of relief required of you. These are much needed and highly, appreciated by this stricken commu nity`. • If, howeVer, this prosperous town, with its enterprising and lAbor employing industries, is nut to sit in its ashes, desolate and , despairing, large contributions of money are mach needed to enable its people by their own industry, economy and en terprise to re-establish themselves. All yoiir contributions of money or whatever else, will go into the hands of reliable and discreetlnen and -be dispensed in the fairest:and most ef ficient miinner. All contributions. of money will be sent_. either to R. M. Frick, cashier cif the Milton National Bank, or John M. Caldwell, of the First National Bank ; all contribu tions of food And clothing will be sent to the. relief committee. Let your contributions be large and free. The committee would, be glad to have the above read in the, different churches,- and printed in the public, press every where. COUDERSPORT CONSUMED i pv, Ov r Forty Buildings Bur i ned.

One who suffered severely from the, fires in the ,Pennsylvinia forests' ear Ridgbury, 'last week, writes to the Elmira Free Press that the morning opened very fine, with a wind north west, that about nine o'clock in the morning had increased almost to a whirl-wind, keeping it up until noon. . At that hour a cloud Of. smoke sp.- peared in the west that seemed to be traveling as - fast as the wind could carry it. Beneatir the smoke were flames of fire that swept everything before them". They went thiough an old wood lot of some two hundred acres as a man ' would swing his . ,scythe in some tall timothy„ and reached the cleared land of WON mick, Gonzales and' Tubbs. They jumped across this place about thirty rods in width and caught in the woods of H. H. Marcellus: They were '-certainly going there before the wind at the rate of at least sixty miles an' hdur. They went through a choice timberlot of Marcellus's and reached a fallow of about six acres that had recently been cut there. Here, our correspondent says, he saw the larg est flames that - ever his eye rested . upon. The whole six ;acres' seemed -one vast sheet of fire, the flames be, ,ing twenty feet thick at least. Here too, the - burning mass seem ed to he' struck by the whirl-wind, and flames, timber, burning chunks, coals and ashes -flew, about in the air for hundreds of rods as though there was a conflict, in the elements. - The inhabitants living in houses far re moved from the conflagration, bad to stand for hours over their buildings, with water at hand to keep them from taking fire. Right in the face of the wind the flames crossed over to a timber lot owned by Mr. Owens, devouring everything they came in' contact with, and continuing their fierce attack e as long as there was anything for them to feed upon. In that afternoon, in less thhnixhours, Marcellas and Owens lost- by fire more than $2,000 worth of choice pine, oak,' chestnut; and henalock i timber. , . 'gem Abnertistutents. CHAS.
