ANOTHEB lERRLBLE FIEE IN
MIFFLIN.
The Business Part of our
Town Destroyed.
17 BUILDINGS IN RUINS.
DESTRUCTION of an ENTIRE
BLOCK.
X.O S S 870,000.
INSURANCE ABOUT $58,000.
Mifflintown has again been .the vio
tliu of a most destructivo fire. Twen
ty busiDens places and four dwelling
places ate in a mass of unouldering
ruius. The late fire did not sweep over
as extended a piece of ground as that
swept by the fire on the last night of
the veal ?187C, but if the wind had
blown as it did on that night, Mifflin,
doubtless, now would lie as does the
ruinou) work of last Saturday morning.
The alarm of fire was raised on last
Saturday morning about I o'clock, and
among those early at the sceue. of dis.
aster a number declare that they first
saw the flames issue from the Sentinel
office. There were a number of win
dows in tho aiain olee, through
which they shoulJ have been able to
ee ttio location of the fire from both
the alley and the street. There was
also a wiudow iu the back office open
ing into Mrs. Belford's yard. Others
early on the ground declare that nearly
t th d same time a fire was discovered
progressing in an alley or passage be.
tween stables north of the Senlinel of
fice. It is believed to have been the
work of an incendiary, but whether in
stigated by malice or love of gain is
known only to the wretch or wretches
who planned and executed it. It could
not hive been an accident if there were
two separate fires.
We were in the office long enough on
Friday evening to read four columns of
"proof," and left and locked the office
about 9 o'clock. There were only two
keys to our knowledge that would un
lock the lower door, the ouly entrance
door to the Sentinel office part of
the building. One of the keys
was in the possession of Mr. S. D.
IJatesholtx, foreman of ths Sentinel,
and the other in our own posses
sion. The lamp used that evening
was one of tl.e lamps that have
been in use in the office Eince we pur.
chased the Senlinel; we cannot think
that fire could Uive eecaped from it
without iiotice.
The ringing of bells aroused us from
our sleep, and by the timo we reached
th 5 scene of the conflagration the fire
had so far progressed that the Xeviti
building and the building next above
the Sentinel building toward Mrs. liel
ford's were all on fire. The horrible
wo:k of destruction went on and on,
id threatened the devourment of the
'whole town west of Main street. An
. Ifort was male to save Mrs. Uelford's
residence, but it proved a futile one,
for in spite of all the work bestowed on
it, it was burned. The course of fire
down Bridge street toward the river
was arrested at the "Parker house" at
the corner of Bridge and Water streets
by a desperate struggle. Men and
women worked there. The fire had
burued so rapidly aud with such an ap
palling effect that no efforts were made
to save the buildings on Main street
excepting at Mrs. Belford's residence,
until it had extended itself northward
to the. alley between the property of
Robert E. Parker and. the Littlcfield
hotel property. On the latter proper
ty there was a rally, and after a long
struggle it was placed out of danger
from the flames cn the opposite side of
the alley. If the fire had got into that
block, in all probability all of the town
west of Main street would have been
burned.

There may be, and, probably are,
a number of inaccuracies in the above
exhibit of the result of the fire, it
having been got up in a hurry, and
while the excitement arounsed by the
dreadful conflagration was still un
abated, and consequently definite fig
ures could not be obtained, yet, on the
whole it will be found not to be much
out of the way. From a careful es
timate of our owu of the property
destroyed and damaged, real and per
sonal, we are of the opinion that it
will not reach above $73,500, and the
insurance on same will reach about
$58,000. Distributed as follows :

Robert M'Meen, Esq., District At

room, in the Parker mansion house,
where he can be found for the present.
We shall ever remember those who
extended to us expressions of sympathy
for the disaster that overtook the Sen
tinel, and to those who, unsolicited, by
letter and otherwise, offered of their
means and help for a season. We make
a promise that if calamity should ever
sit at their door our persoual services
and means, as for as they go, will be
placed at their command.
The papers that were left in the
vault of the Juniata Valley Bank were
uninju-ed by the fire, as was evidenced
by the opening of the safe on Tuesday.
Water had, however, entered it. All
valuable papers bad been removed from
it before the fire reached that part of
the building.
We are greatly indebted to the Ed.
itors of the Democrat and Register aud
the Editor of the Republican for kind,
nesses exteuded to us since the fire.
We are in a measure on their boucty.
Our present quarters aie in the Repub
lican office.
Isaac Coffma.v, despatcher for the
Railroad Company, in coming across
the river bridge on last Saturday mgbt
about 11 o'clock, found two of the
plank thrown out of place. A person
in crossing in the l.ight, might have
dropped through into the river below.
F. Pierce He.ncu, a native of Tus
earora Valley aad a few years ago well
known to the young men of Mifflin,
has been appointed a cadet to West
Point, from the Eighth Congressional
District of Iowa.
TnE files of the Sentinel were de.
stroyed in the fire. Any person hav
ing a file of the paper from June, 1870,
to our last issue, will confer a favor by
writing or otherwise informing us of it.
The Senlinel this issue appears in a
new form. II w long it may keep its
present appearance we are not now pre.
pcred to say. It may continue as in
this issue for some time.
The ticket presented by the Repub
licans of this county is a strong one.
Our present unfortunate condition puts
it beyond our power to dc it justice
this week.
A portion of the Presbyterian grave.
yard has been cleanly mown, and there
by the traces of the foundation of the
old church are rendered plainly visible
Franciscus Hardware Co., have

have been unfortunate by the fire, are
in shape to wait on their custom again,
and with reduced prices in merchan

lady and gentlemjn assistants, they
hope to merit and receive a liberal share

Xot for Sale in Book or Netc$ Stores,
The A Mi nr. while Issued with all the reg
I ularity, h;m none of the temporary or time-
ly interest ehurrteteristie of ordinary pertod
! caN. It is an elegant misellany of pure,
i litilit, and frnuttul literature; and a collec
tion of pictures, the rarest specimens of ar-
tistic hki II, in black and white. AlthouKh
! e:i-Ii Biieceediiii number afford a fresh
1 pleasure to its friemls, the real value and
! lH-;iuty of The AUline will he mostappre
j ciated, after It hun hern bound up at the
close of the year. While other publication
inav claim superior cheapness, as com pa ret 1
t with rivals ot a similar class. The Aldine is
i a unique and original conception-alone and
; unapproaehed absolutely without compete
: tioii in price or character. The possessor of
a complete volume cannot duplicate tfcj
j quantity of tine paper and engravings .it
any other shape or uumler of volumes foi
ten times its cost ; and then, there are the

Art Department.
Notwithstanding the increase in the price
! of subscription last Knll. when The Aldine
assumed its present noble proportions and
' representative diameter, the edition waa
more than doubled during the past year ;
proving that the American publlcappreclate
! aud will support, a sineereeilort in .because
of Art. The publishers, anxioua to Justify
: the ready confidence thus demonstrated
i have exerted themselves to the utmost to
: develop and Improve the work ; and the
- plans tr the comiiiKyear, aft unfolded by the
monthly Issues, will astonish and delight
even the most Simguine friends of The Al-
dine.
The publishers are authorized to announce
I designs from many of the most eminent ax-
lists of Ameriea.
In addition The Aldine will produce ei
' amplest, the beet foreign masters, selected
I wim a view to the highest artistic success,
! and greatest general inu rest; avoiding such
: as have tteeome faniiiliar, through photo
graphs r copies of anp kind.
The quarterly tiuted plates, for 173 will
reproduce four of John SS. Levis' inimitable
: child-sketches, appropriate to the four sea
' sons. These plates, ajtpeurlng in the issues
, for January, April. July, and October, would
lie alone worth tile price ot a year's subscrlp
! ion.
; t The popular feature of a oopionsly illns
I t rated "Christmas" untnlarr will be con tin -:
tied.
To possess such a valuable epitome of the
art world, at a cost so trifling, will command
the subscriptions of thousand In every sec
; tbm of the vunlry ; but, as the useful news
' and attractions of The Aldine can be en-
hunced, in proportion to the numerical in
! crease of its supporters, the publisher pro
! pose to make 'asuruii-c double sure," by
the following unparalleled oiler of
; Premium Chromos for 1873.
Kvery subscriber to The Aldine, who pays
In advance for the year 173, will receive
i without additional charge a pair of beautl
f ful oil chromos, alter J. j. Hill, the eminent
! Knglih painter. The pictures, entitled "Th
' Village ltelle," ami "Crossing the Moore," .
are Hx3 inches are printed from '2b dinVr
i eut plates, requiring lii inipressionsand tint
. to perfect each picture. The same chromow
; arh sold for s-ia per pair. In the art stores.
j As it is the determination of its conductor
jo kc p Tbe Aldine out of the reach of coin
petition in every department, theehronnw
will le found correspondingly ahead of any
that can Im ottered by other periodicals.
I Kvery sulwenlcr will receive a certificate,

' nnteeing that the chromos delivered shall
le equal to the samples furnished the agent,
; yr the money will be refunded. Thedistri
' tuition id pictures of this grade, free to the
I subscri lera to a five dollar periodical, will
t mark an epoch in the history of Art; and,
: considering the unprecedented cheapness of
; the price of The Aldine itself, the marvel
; fails little short of a miracle, even to those
