Last Friday afternoon, 16th inst., our citizens were startled by the ulara of fire, which proved to be in the new house owned by N. J3. Watterson, situated at the west end of Centre street. In a few minutes the house with nearly all the contents was entirely consumed. The fire originated in a defective flue, end smoke was first discovered emerging Irom the roof. The loss will reach 81000 with an insurance of $500. Mr. Watfc:w had only just got his house ready to plaster, and on the day of the fire had new spoutiug put up, and to see property thus vanish into a heap of nslics was, indeed, sorrowful. At one time the house owned by Clins. Burns aud now occupied by C. H. McCauley was thought to be in imminent danger, hut through the exertions of the bucket- brigade who worked manfully the further r Tigress of the flames was stayed. At the time the fire was first discovered had there been a ladder, of sufficient length to have reached the roof, at hand, the houso might have been saved with little effort. Of course there are always many if's in oase of a fire, but, of one thing we are certain Ridgway, needs some way of controling fires aside from the primeval bucket-brigade. Although every precautionary measure may be taken to guard against fires, still fires do occur and would it not bo a wise plan to take steps toward getting a fire engine now, rather than wait until the eiperl ence of fire has taught us another sad lesson? Scribneh roa June. Among the striking features of Scribnera for Juni are N. P. Langford's entertaining and splendidly-illustrated account of "The Ascent of Mount Hayden;" a new pioture and biography of Bret Harte; illustiated papers on Cornell University and "Our fostal-iJar eervice; a cu rious and important paper by Genl. Walker, superintendent of the late Census, on the relative increase, by births, of the "American InsU and American Germans; "A beance with Foster the Spiritualist," and an article by Prof. Wise, the well-known aeronaut, in opposition to the received theory of the tides. An interesting account of a visit to the Pope is given, and there are two capital short stories, "Capt. Luce's Enemy," by James T. McKay; and "An Old-Fashioned Story," by Marian Stookton; besides the continuation of Dr. Holland's "Arthur Boonincastle," in which the hero has a New Year's ex perience. Br. Holland, in "Topics of the Time," discusses "The Atlantio Dis aster and its Lessons;" and " Conscience in Criticism." In the "Old Cabinet" there are half a dozen sonnets; "Home and Society" and Etchings are more than usually full, and in "Culture and Progress" there are, beside the book reviews, articles on "The William Morris Window" and other art matters. The "Great South" series will be com menced in the July number of Scrib ncr's. A oynioal oritio says that Daguerre's invention has always been a foe to grapio art. Man Killed. On Friday last, as a Swede was walking along the P. & E. track, in the yard at St. Mary's, an east bound freight train came upon him un perceived, knocking him down across the track and completely severing his bead from the body. The bottle of "local option" be had in bis pocket was uninjured. Cameron Herald, 15th inst. Kills d on tub Railroad. Felix Carlow, son of Sylvester Carlow, of War ren, was killed on the P. & E. road last Friday, at Cumraing's siding this side of Kane. He was a fireman on a train approaching the station. A train stood on the siding which be is supposed to have mistaken for a train on the track coming in colision. He accordingly stepped to the side and cither jumped or was thrown off and so badly injured that he soon after died. He was a steady, deserving young man and a mem ber of tho Irish-American Benevolent Association which organization attended his funeral in a body last Sunday at 2 o'clock, P. M. He was 19 years and 9 months old. Warren Mail, 20 inst. Square Timber. The entire stock of old and new square timber has beea thrown upon the market thus early this season. White pine and oak has been in fair demand at reasonable prices ! medium grades selling at Marietta, for 15 to 13 cents pet foot for pine, and 22 to 25 cents for oak, while choice large, has sold as high as 20 to 23 cents for pine and 26 to 28 for oak. Hemlock, however, has been very much depressed square timber selling as low- as 11 cents, wbile joists and scantlings have sold for $10 and $11 per M., which is below actual cost and ruinous to that particular branch of trade. Pine boards, however have been bringing fair remunerative prices, say from $21 to $23 per M. as in quality. Emporium Independent. The Destroyer Destroyed. The citizens of Bloom township have been greatly anooyed for several years past by a huge black bear, which has in fested the neighborhood, destroying their bees and sheep and opening their apple holes and caveaand robbing spring houses. Numerous efforts were made to capture the beast, but he always eluded his assailants, who after a day's hunt would return home with one or two dogs less than they started out with in the morning. The dogs would frequently come in contact with bruin who would emhrace the opportunity to crush the life out of every dog he could get his paws on. At length, after niany efforts to capture tho beast, on Monday a week, while a fourteen-year-old boy, son of John Bilger, was passing through a laurel thicket, looking for pheasants, he heard the brush snapping and cracking a little ways off to the left, and getting his old "fusee" ready to draw a bead on anything that might turn up, to his as tonishment Mr. Bear elevated his suout and frout parts upon a large log. There was no chance to run and but little time for debate. The boy blazed uway, the ball striking the beast between the eyes, passing up through the brain ioto the neck, and before the boy could reload his piece, bruin fell over dead, whereat all Bloom township rejoicsa and (he boy i.s quite a hero, and every twelve year old wishes he wis that boy. The beast weighed between 350 and 400 pouuds and was covered outside aud inside with white fat, in some places three inches thick. He was as "fat as butter" and no mistake. It is evident honey, eream, mutton, apples, corn and in fact every thing he destroyed sat well on his stomach. Clearfield Republican, 14th inst. Suicide. Dr. Holland has a "Topic" in ScrIbner's for May, on the recent discussion of suicide, from which we quote the closing paragraph : If a man is nothing but an animal, if this life is all there is of his existence, and the question simply concerns the amount of comfort to be got out of it in this transient world, why, let him do as he likes with himself and his friends ; but he who regards the present scene as only the foreground of an infinite spirit ual featuie, through which, if one tread faithfully the prescribed passages of pain as well as pleasure, he shall find himself in higher pathways, as a consequence, at the last, we say he will take lifo whether it be convenient or inconvenient and hold it as the gift of God, inalienable by any rersonbf infirmity or suffering, or hopeless disease, or cost to other life through necessary ministry. The doo trines of Prof. Newman and Mr, Tolle niache are uncertain doctrines. They oarry us back into barbarism back into the darkness in which children killed parents that became a burden to them, and mothers strangled infants that could only inherit their own sufferings. It is an infamous criticism of the divine wis dom, an insult to Providence, an assault upon the safeguards of society, and a reflection upon human nature ana aes tiny. from which all Christian manhood recoils as from the touch of a serpent. A trip to Europe is now-a days far less expensive than to California. Issues of Scrip. At the last ses sion of Congress the Bauking and Cur rency Committee presented a bill in rcf ference to the issue of bills of credit by States, cities and railroad corporations, to pass as money. In one or two Southern States they have a scrip that represents money, it is receivable lor taxes ana payable for salaries. It passes current, but in some places at a discount, It evades all laws. The cities of Selraa. Macon and others have issued small bills, payable as a bank would redeem its money. There is nothing in the laws, as they are interpreted here, prohibiting New York, Philadelphia, other cities, or any railroad company from doing the same. But a bank in Alabuna under took, under a State charter, to issue notes, and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, under the act intended to tax out of existence the circulation of State banks, has determined to collect ten per cent, tax upon these issues. This, in the opinion of many able lawyers, is an illegal decision, any law being, they assert, unconstitutional that places so high a tax on currency as to be prohib itory in its effect. But the Bauking and Curreney Committee was not culled, its bill failed to pass, and there does not appear to be any check on Stares issuing bills of credit, or on corporations, except bands, issuing small notes and shinplas ters. Pittsburgh Telegraph. Chief Justicks of United States. The following is a list, in their order, of the Chief Justices of the United States: 1. John Jay. 2. John Rut ledge (nominated, and presided for one term, but not 'confirmed). 3. Win. Cushing (nominated and eonSrmed, but never presided). 4. Oliver Ellsworth. 5. John Marshall. 6. Roger Brooke Taoey. 7. Salmon Portlaud Chase. John Jay died in 1820, at the ago of 84; John Rutledgc in 1800, at the age of 61; William Gushing iu 1810, at the ago of 77; Oliver Ellsworth in 1807, at tbe age of 56; John Marshall in 183G, at the age of 81; Roger B. Taoey in 1S64, at the age of 87, and Salmon P. Chase in 1873, at the age of 65. Jury Reform. A modification of the jury system has not many friends iu the Constitutional Couvention. On Monday that body not only voted down a proposition that three-fourths of a jury in civil proceedings may find a verdict after such a proper period of delibera tion as may be required by law, but also a section allowing the right of trial by jury to be waived by parties in all civil proceedings. The Coaveution displayed more conservatism in treating this ques tion than it had on any that had pre viously come before it. The vote may be taken as an indication that the bar of the State is against any change in the jury system, for threc-lourths of the members of the Convention are lawyers. Pittsburgh Telegraph, 17th inst. The fact that the Liberals and Demo crats are anxious to form new coalitions for this year's campaign in this State, is the evideuce that the Republicans will sweep everything before them, like a tornado, in October. The First Thousand Dollars.- The first thousand dollars that a young man earns and saves, over and above his expenses in earning it, will ordinarily stamp upon his mind and character two of the most important conditions of suc cess industry and economy. It is far better for him that he should earn tho first thousand dollars, than that they should have been given hitn. If he earns it, he knows what it is worth, since it represents to him a very considerable amount of effort. If he saves it while earning a much larger sum, he acquires thereby a habit of economy. Neither of these could be taught by a mere gift. On the whole, it is no disadvantage for a young man lo begin poor. Most persons who become rich in this country were once poor, aud in their poverty they gained habits from the stern necessities of their condition; which in the end resulted in richos. Those who are born with silver spoons in their mouths, aud spend their early years in idleness and prodigality, seldom amount to much as men in the particular business of life. An enthusiastic reformer has appear ed at Osage, Iowa, and hopes to recon struct woman, by abolishing corsets. The lunatic has actually drawn up a petition to the city council, asking that these female fixings bo banished from the toilet. His argument is that corsets are a drawback in raising infants, endanger the lives of woman, and thereby cause much unhappinass and misery. The man is no doubt correct, but all the city councils and Legislatures in the country will not prevent a woman from wearing what she likes. Ascertaining the hog value of a Congressman seems to be the entertain ing occupation of the western newspapers. An Indiana journal estimates that it will require, 17,000 hogs, 8,740,000 pounds of pork, to pay the salaries of Congressmen from that State, and seems to doubt that the investment is a good one. Another journal in the same State thinks the hog value of one Congressman equal to about 1,000 porkers, provided they are good fat ones. Why the hog should be taken as a standard of value is not known, yet it must be admitted it is not altogether inappropriate. Lamp Explosion. A' lamp filled with kerosene oil exploded in the gro eery store of M. Detrel, Parade street, betweet 13th aad 14th streets, on Friday night, and although consid erable exoitoment and fear was mani fested for a time, the flames were luckily extinguished before muh loss was sus tained. Mr. Detzel has been using the Dan forth burping fluid in his store, but after its sale has been interdicted by the fire test law, he fell back upon kerosene, and the explosion occurred the very first night on which its use was oommenced. The lamp was suspended in a back room, the flame was turned down, and as some persons were talking in the front part of the store, they were started by report which sounded like that of gun. Upon going into the room flames were discovered shooting up from three or four kegs in which was some straw, which were sitting beneath the lamp. Mr. Messner, the olerk, with great presence of mind, seized a sack of eoffee, by a well directed aim, extinguished the flume. Erie Gazette, 15th inst. President 3 rant is fifty-one years old. Secator Sherman is'saidtobe worth $2,000,000. Contentment is natural wealth; luxury, artificial poverty. Instruotion ends in the school room, but education ends only with life.
