Fird-Seurle, Hotel Burned.
Our community were startled on Sunday
morning last about 2,! ; ',' o'clock by the direful
alarm of fire from which we had been exempt
for a long time.
The flames were first discovered in the News
Office of Geo. on Public Avenue, two
doors above Searle's Hotel, kept by Charles M.
The r alarm was not given until the flames
were seen bursting out of the roof of the News
Mee, but in time to save all the effects of the
Express Office, which adjoined the hotel. Our
efficient firemen were upon the ground immedi
ately, but the fire spread so rapidly that before
their pipes could be brought to bear upon it
the Express Office and Hotel below, and Harvey
Stamp's grocery above, were being rapidly
enveloped in flames.
There was hut little sir stirring, which was in
deed very fortunate, for with a common wind
lila believed that no human agency could have
prevented the &sumo:ton of all the row of bpild
trigs on the west side of Public Avenue, our of.
nee being ineludtsi. It ~,on beetune apparent
that the hotel must burn, and busy hands were
at work removing the contents, while the fire
men, in connection with a bucket company,
underthe direction of Avery Frink, stuateoled
almost against hope in arresting its further pr.,
grew; beyond Harvey it Stamp's grocery. The
name efficient work was U done upon
the building west of the hotel 7 .ith the Nam ,
happy result, and almost as miraculous as it al,
pears to those who viewed the situation, 11.,
buildings were destroyed except the Hotel, Ea
press Office and News Office, all of which wet,.
owned by Leonard Searle,
The total loss is estimated at about $15,000.

Being one of the number who wa.s in immin
ent danger, we can truly say that bad it not been
for the very praiseworthy efforts of our efficient
fire department, we believe we should not be sit

An exchange says "Save all your newspa

makeapaste as for putting on wall paper, and
lay them down, one by one, pasting them till

another in the same way. When again dry get
some wall paper of a suitable color, and paste
all over it. When dry go over it again with a
good coat of varnish, and you hare a good cov

carpet, and look as well as oil cloth. This is
a cheap method of covering bedrooms that arc
not much used."

1 Explanatory.
Since the publieution, in the DRAIOCILAT of
lest week, of the report of the public meeting
relating to the Judiciary question, a dispute has
arisen among those participating in the meeting,
'as to the second resolution. The author of the
resolution, and others, think it was intended to
cover all the bills pending in the Legislature (or
any to be presented) in reference to additional
Judges and new places for bolding the courts.
I But several lawyers present at the meeting claim
that the 'subject of an additional Judge was not
properly under consideration, and that those
words in the resolution, as printed, were not
adopted or intended to be adopted, so fares they
!'understood. It is proper to here state, What
I was not known to the public, that several !aw
-1
, vets had signed a petition or letters in favor of
I the passae,c of an act to provide for an addition
! al Judge; hence they could not consistently op
pose it.
This card is published to explain that the
participants in the meeting differ as to its real
object. The reporting Secretary was not prts
ent during the discussion prior to the adoption
of the resolutions. and only citnsented to act as
reporter upon condition that the resolutions,
&c., should he furnished hint. He correctly •re•
ported what was reduced to writing and handed
to him, at is shown by the original draft of the
dhputed resolution which has been presented.

We have received the first issue of the Indus

in Philadelphia, at 1.38 South Light street, by
Wm. Y. Leader. We judge from the toneof its

in the interest of home industry and manufac

and handsomely printed quarto sheet and ..wr
heartily wish it the succc%s which it merits.
We have upon our table a copy of the Prae

Alt Amusing Experiment.
Procure four glass tumblers or common glazed
teacups, and having wiped them as dry as possi-
Ede. hold them over the tire to evaporate shy
moisture that may adhere to the surface, for if
there is the least moisture it makes a connection
and spoils the experiment. Place them upon
the floor in a square, about one toot apart. place
a piece of board upon the tumblers, and have a
per..on stand upon it. This person is now com
pletely insulated . , the glass being a non-conduct
or of ekericity. Now take a cetntuon rubber
comb, and has Mg wound a pier' of silk around
one end rd it, rub it briskly through the hair,
and draw the teeth pandlel to the insulated per
son's knuckhx, leaving a little spare between
the tomb and the person's hand. The result
will be a sharp, cracking noise, and if dark,
there will be Wren 3 sin - cession of sparks. Hr

The person is now charged with electricity, the

and there will be a loud snap, and the sparks

the charged person can place his knuckles in
proximity with the animal's nose, it will sud

for the purpose. Much amusement may be de
