A sap affair occured in Green county on
Saturday last, by which two persons, a moth
er and son, lost their lives. A party of
boys were bathing in Ten Mile creek, when
Mrs, Sarah Phillips, wife of Wm. Phillips
a carpenter of Hookstown, went down and
called out her son, a lad of ten years. Ho
came out and stood on the bank a moment,
when for so mo cause he fell into the water.
One of the boys caught him as he rose the
second time, and would have succeeded in
getting him ashore, but at this moment Mrs.
Phillips jumped into the creek, and by her
frantic- endeavors to save her son, broke the
boy's hold, and the little felhw went down
for the last time. William Frakcs plunged
in and succeeded in getting Mrs. Phillips
out of the water, but beforo assistance came
she was dead. Brookville Republican.
Drowned. On Friday, the 10th inst,
Denis O'Brien oud two other men, whose
names we have not learned, were running
logs on the cast branch of the Clarion, above
Wilruarth. After completing their, day's
vorkthey started for Wilniarth. They
had gone but a short difctauce when O'Brien
complained of his boots hurting his feet
and sit down on a log and drew them off
while the other two walked on. O'Brien's
absense that night was considered trifling
as it was supposed that he had missed his
way and would come home in the morning.
On Saturday his body was found in the
creek under a saw-log which covered a por
tion of it. The deceased was bo
'tweco forty and fifty years old and leaves
a wife and several children.

formed to the mill race and by keeping
the building constantly wet and, the carpets
saturated, the building was saved and the
fire checked. It appeared for some time
that no human aid could save it, but a change
in the wind aided wonderfully and the
building is not injured.
This is the first fire of any extent that ever
occured in this place, and it has been very
. . A.
severe. The carpenters work ,g upon the
buildings of Holes and Walker lost all their
tools, and the loss is very hard upon them,

amount could be got out of the building,
except from the dry goods part in the front
of the store. Their Boot & Shoe and
Clothing department up stairs could not
be reached and everything there was con
sumed. The front part of the building up

loss is estimated at about two S-,000, not a

their lot a hard one. Mr. Heard
was doing a very successful business which
is stopped by the loss af all his tools, stock
and ready made work which he had on
and. We understand that ho proposes
to pu up a temporary building and com
mence business again as soon as possible.
Mr. Kime s loss is tho most severe of
ny other sufferer. He is turned out
f house, homo and business and with the
fire of Wednesday morning goes his hard
nd honest earnings for the five pat years.
llo has the warmest, deepest sympathy of
tho whole community. The finn of Powo!l
& Kime have been doing a most thrning
and successful business since they enlarged
their store, and by integrity, honesty and
good faith toward every one, hud won the
entire confidence of the communitv. Thev
propose, wo are informed, to start again as
soon a3 possible, and we sincerely hope
that more than their former success will
attend them. The oricin of tho fire at
this time is not known. Whether it was
prompted by malace or not wo cannot say ;
if it was, the law provides no sufficient pen
ally for tho offence, and if tho wholo pen
alty provided by the law is inflicted the of
fender then goes uuwhipped of justice.
The act prompted by malace towards any
one is a heartless, cruel, desperate thing; by
such an act a wholo community suffers, and
the poorest and least able to bear it, are
always iu such cases, the greatest sufferers.

Mr. Editor : Through your kindness,
we desire to express our heartfelt
thanks to the people of Ridgway men,
women and boys as well as to strangers
who happened to be here at the time, for
their heroio efforts to save our property
from the flames, on the morning of the 15th
instant. Our loss, though heavy, would
have been much greater bad it not been
for such efficient assistance. We shall
treasure up in our heart of hearts these
acts of kindness as long as we are permit
ted to !ivo.

DEMOREST'S MONTHLY,
a magazine of practical utility in the. house, a
mirror of the fashions, and a literary conser
vator of surpassing interest and artistio excel
ence, acknowledged to be the modern parlor
magazine of America.
Ihc engraving, 28x32 inches, is from tke or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The Pie-Nie on the
fourth of July.'
The painting took a whole year, and is con
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lillie M. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer ; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. Nonebut
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general ef
fect is very fino and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
nute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass
ed proof of their genius.
ineiwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work;
or art evor engraved ln America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $10 each, are to ba
given as a premium to each subscriber to
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY MAGZINE.
Yearly subscriptions only Three Dollars, and
ten cents (which is to be sent with the sub
scription), for the postage on the engraving
(which will be mailed securely done up on a
roller.
This is certainly tho largest, most liberal
and splendid premium ever offered to single
subscribers by rny publisher, and affords an
easy and economical way for any one to secure
an elceant work of art, a Parlor Picture that
is only next to a piano in the way of ornamen
tation, and a perpetual reminder of a day
which ought to to be cherished and held in re
membranee by every true American.
The reception of this magnificent picture
will take every one by surprise, and we do not
venture anything in saying that $10 will not
procure another that combines so much of in
terest and beauty.
Specimens of the Magazine, with circulars,
giving full particulars, will be sent to any giv.
en address, post free on receipt of 15 cents.
