Fire. On Saturday morning last, about two
o'clock, an alarm of tire was sounded, aud mem
bers of the different lire companies hastened out
of their beds, and ran through a snow storm to
their engiue houses. Though no lire was visible
anywhere, they proceeded with their machines
through snow and mud towards the river, in
which direction the alarm had been given. The
Hook and Ladder Company in advance, through
Walnut street, aud the Washington steamer fol
lowing. The scene here was rather exciting at
the firemen trudged along with their beautiful
engines through the flying tuow flukes, their bulla
giving the dread alarm as they proceeded.
Many believ it to be a false alarm. When
near Front street the fire burst through the roof
of the buildiug owned by Lafayette Wynn, when
a yell from the foremau for double quick was
given, and the 'hoys,' with new euergy, hurried
forward. When .they arrived at the lire, the
Hook and La hler Company at once proceeded to
save the neighboring buildings, which were in
the most imtnirteut danger. Their ladders were
put up aud men ascended with buckets of water
to dash upou the sides of the buildings which
wire already scorched, and which would,
in a very short time, have resulted iu a confla
gration. The Washington Steuin Fire Company
next came on the ground, the uieu cluiost ex
hausted from dragging their heavy machine
through the enow aud mud. But having been
M to believe that it wa a alse alarm, their
steamer wat not fired up soon enough to do im
mediate service. The steamer No. 1 came on
the grouud about ten winutct afterwards, with
a full head of steam and horses attached. Dur
ing the intervening time the Hook and Ladder
men kept the fire from spreading by the use of a
few buckets. Had the fire got control, no doubt
a number of buildings would have been burned.
Both engines having taken their statiout at the
river, they commenced to force water Steamer
No. 1 throwing the first water upon the burning
building. The Washington about the tame lime
succeeded in throwing water upon the adjoiuiug,
buiidiug, thereby relieving the Hook and Ladder
men. With the tremendous force of water pro
duced by the two steamers, the fire wat oon put
out, and the ueigr.horiug buildings were savad.
The fire originated in the upper part of Lafay
ette Wyun's new house on Front ttreet, which
had been unoccupied for several weeks, and was
no doubt th; work of an incendiary. The upper
part of the building was entirely destroyed, and
a loss sustained of about 11.200, which we learn
is covered by insurance.
Tbe firemen deserve the highest praise for the
harmonious manner they worked toeether, and
their good management and control. Many of
the men were drenched with water, but noni
complained of their duty.
At the fire we refer to", we noticed several mat
ters which would aid greatly to the benefit of our
already efficient lire department. A peneral
fire alarm located iu the central part of the
town, to bring out a sufficient force of firemen,
to assist In getting iheir engines to firet, should
be established. Another, that the Hook and
Ladder Company should be supplied with three
or four doren leather buckets. The company is
composed of some of our most active aud daring j
young men, and as they are generally brought !
into service first, their execution would be of
telling effect, and where firet arc just breaking
oat could save large amount! of property from
destruction by fire and water. At this Ore we
noticed but about a half dozen buckets in use,
yet, with thit small number, ail who witnessed j
their operations, must acknowledge that they
were the means of saving the home of a poor
widow lady. Such occurrences may lake place
frequently, when, with the aid of buckets, pro
perty will be saved. The buckets w ill cost but
about one hundred dollars, and the company are
anxious to procure them, but are unable through
the want of meant. At most of our citizeus
taw for theinselvet the want of this important
addition to the fire department, we hope some
measure will be adopted to supply the need
Another Mi'kder is tub Coal Region. On
Sunday evening last Thomas Giibbint aud Joha
Keating, his lrother:in-law, who boarded with
Gribbin, went home at Excelsior station, be
between Shamokin and Mt. Carinel in a state of
intoxication. Wheu they arrived home tbey got
into a dispu, when Gribhins shot Keating who
died almos-t instantly. Gribhint' daughter made
information before Esquire M. L. Nalan who
committed him to prison for trial. Thit makes

OrR neighbor ol the Vail, having lately been
engaged in the fish busluees, tried to perpetrate a
joke on hit friends by publishing, on Wednesday
morning, an account of a ualural cariosity, in
the way of a catfish found in a hollow log, with
"two heads perfectly developed, and two tails."
But as it happened to be the first of April, there
were hut few who took the bait. Of course we
can't say that the editor imbibed beer on the ev
ening previous, aud dreamed to that effect. Br.t
then, everybody suspicioned "nigger" in the
wood pile.
Mill Hi rned. We leain that the large flour

that Geo. O. Bartlett hat removed his Photo

hat not gone further than Shamokin, and will
surely call to see him when visiting thai town.

Over Avaricious. Some time ago we no
ticed the extraordinary luck of two editor, re
sulting in a division of the contents of a hog
guessing bank. We are pleased to note another
streak of luck r.f one of the same brothers of the
quill. it appear, from recent reports, that
"Fred,' the colored porter of the Cleineut
House, has a heart as large as a bushel, and is
frequently induced to show it by bestowing gifts
on his most intimate and worthy friends.
Though a vooi-dyed Republican, his magnanimi
ty sometimes causes him to leave the path of
virtue for a few moments, when he niinules with
the Democracy. Under the influence of this ge
nerous nature, "Frtd," on last Tuesday, pur
chased a large shad, and preseuted it to a Demo
cratic editor, Lot a thousand miles from here,
for the purpot-e of giving the links of friendship j
an additional polish. No presentation speeches
were made, tut it was noticed that the editor
went through manv gesture, indicative of
thanks to his ebony friend, more easily under
stood by himself than the magnauimous "Fred."
On passing .he Clement House with his gift, the
fortunate editor stepped in to boast of his luck
aud his opjortunity to fill up his 'vc-ket.' While
sojouruing at the hotel for a few moments, a.go-!
verument official made an oftr for the shad
which was immediately accepted, as th-- editor I
could not withstand the temptation of the filthy j
lucre. The T.j cents were forked over, and a
the profit was considerable, the editor stood the
rounds, leaving out in the cold Lis colored fiieud
"Fred." With such n: amazing succession of
luck among some ol our editors, we may soou
look lor large improvement looming vp in the
vicinity of Sunbuiy. "Fred'
neither black spirit nor white
it hard on the "nigger."

Mr. frlitor Dear Sir :
Having noticed in the paper, the brief state
ment made by the good people of Elysburg, re
lative to their institution, and feeling a gu-at in
terest iu the welfare of that Invitation, we, the
undersigned, representing some of the student
formerly in attendance at tho Elysburg Acade
my, now in tte field of teaching, respectfully
write in c-udoi sing what has been said in the
staLeint'TIt referred to. A seuse of duty w hich
we owe to .Mr. Bartholomew, us a benefactor,
compels us to take this method of expressing to
him-lhe high regard we have for him personally,
and of 'acknowledging ourselves debtor to him
and the Igstiluliou of which he is the lioa.l.
We hava been referred to a evidence of the
success of the Institution ; whether we bear tes
timony to that fact or not Is a mutter left for
others to decide, but wo lo testify at to the tho
roughness and practicability of the course of
study pursued in tho Elysburg Academy. The
excellent discipline maintained in this Instil itiion.
and the thorough and practical training instilled j
can not but prove of untold value to students.
1 ho plan r instruction, so unique; and com- ;
preheiisive, so facile and free from the toil and '
and di udgerv of many school-, all contribute to j
make this liistitulion a desirable- one for young
nun and women to prepare for the active duties

It is a. live, practical, common sense school,
conducted by an able and skillful teacher, who
has tin-cause nt heart, mid whoso energy and
perseverance never tire in laboring for the spe--cial
interest and best welfare of his student.
We respectfully submit, the; above to the pub
lic, not ostentatiously, but as the utterance- of
our honest couvictiou of the character and work
ings of this Institution, Desiring lhat more of
our friends should participate in the privilege
we have enjoyed while in attendance at the Elys
burg Acade-my ; therefore, be it
iietolrtd. That we extend to all, eager to ob
tain a liberal education, and especially to those,
wishing to prepare for teaching, an earnest an. I
hearty invitation to become member of this
practical Institution, assuring them that they
will be doubly cotnpe -nsated for the time and
money expended, and l ledging ourselves that
they will be received with warm and hearty wel
come, and will soon be made to feel that they
are among friends.

Each branch of industry in fact claim a pari.

Of a generiHi public as merit demand.
So music's department can point, in her pride,
To men of true gen'ni", whose fume hit i;one

O'er hilU and lliroush valleys, in mansions and
and cots.
Well, dne are sneb. honors to KBtatty et- ..',
Who?e Golden Tongue organ Hands first in tbe

Excelling in sweetness and rlehness of tone.
Surpassing all oihcis, aud standing alone.
Its orth is acknowledged wherever it is known,
As all will bear witness, nud cheerfully one
For eqnal iu workmanship, beauty, design,
Or finish, they challenge the best in the line.
Where faces were gloomy, and hearts once were

What homes aie timr cheerful ves, happy anel

Continue thy missl.ui, thv seme 'Golden Tengue,'
Hath chains of enchantment for old and Tor
