The farm-house occupied by Mr. Samuel Berkey, on what is known as the "Harry Hosteller place, about two miles beyond Davidsville, Som erset County, was consumed by fire, with tbe creater part of its contents, about 1 o'clock on Thursday morning. Tbe fire originated in one of tbe upper rooms, in which was a defective Hue, and il is sup posed to have been smoldering lor at least six hours before tbe flames broke out. The odor ot smoke was distinctly noticeable when the family sat down to supper, but although a thoioiigh search was made throughout tbe bouse no traces of tire could be discovered. The family retired at the usual hour, wilh the exception of the district school teacher, who was boarding at the house, and one ol tbe older boys, who departed about six or seven o clock to attend a spell ing bee. On their return, about 11 o'clock. they again smelled smoke as soon as they entered the house, but failed to discover the cause, and went to bed without any apprehension of danger. One ot the mem beis of ibe family was awakened bet wit n 12 aud 1 o'clock by the cracking of the fire, and. finding the sleeping apartment filled with smoke, hastened lo the various rooms and awakened the occupants. Tbey all succeeded in making their escape, but were unable lo remove anything from the upper rooms. A tew articles on the lower floor were saved. Only two of the neighbors, John Lair and Jonathan Yoder, came to tbe assist ance of the lamil v. Others living within a quarter of a mile of the bouse did not know ot the fire until the next morning. There was no insurance oa tbe house. It was owned by Mr. George Gardner. The family were at last accounts slopping with Mr. Benjamin Blough, about a mile dis tant from their former home.

Probably in tbe whole compass of the living church, there was no one more high- lv entitled to be known as a "mother in Israel" than the venerable woman who bas just gone to ber reward. For long years, iu ber own immediate church and neighborhood, she was simply the idol ot all who knew ber. To fittingly set forth ber admirable qualities ot mind and heart is almost beyond the capacity of tongue or lien. -Mild and gentle in disposition, with out weakness, earnest without intolerance, charitable without ostentation, and in eve rything dutiful without thought of ap plause, there seemed to lie here such a heavenly combination as only can show forth bow noble our human nature may become. Wben a life like this, extended away down to the extremes! limits, and all radi ant with deeds of kindness, goes out to re appear only the more brightly in the eter nal borne, it is indeed tilling that some words be said to exalt its virtues and com memorate its worth. To be lovely in life and beautiful in death fills up the measure of the soul's best aspiration, and these grand characteristics, like the fragrance of flowers, will cling in perpetual remem brance to her honored name. The grief of bereavement now covers as with a nail many a heart that knew and loved her ; but through it all the light of God's mercy breaks gradually, to give tbeni assurance that the calm and beauti ful slumber ot the tomb is onlv the entrance to a life which shall be the fullness of joy. Cincinnati Chrittian Utandurd. A Polish author writes to a friend in this country concerning Modjeska: "She can not be replaced, not only on the boards. but in the hearts of the iieople. We are exceptionally situated. We can give little gold and Utile tame to our brave workers. but we take quite a different interest in them from that taken by Western nations. How niany deep regret are daily express ed in arsaw since she left : llow. lively an interest was taken in Los Angelos while she resided there 1 Why, the children all know more about il since ber exile, than they do about parts of their own country." Interesting glimpses ol this romantic life of Modjeska and her husband on a Califor nia rancheria, with an account ol her pre vious history, and a comparative criticism of ber acting, will be given in a paper in the forthcoming (March) Scribser. With tbe narrative will appeal three portraits of Modjeska ; one in propria pertona, aftef the (minting by Carol us puran, presented by Paris lUldeman, Esq., to the Philadel phia Academy ot the Fine Arts ; a second as Juliet, from the large photograph by Scholl, and a third as CUopilra, a charac ter in which she baa not yet appeared in America, but which is said to l one of ber strongest iropcnxinations.

This sovereign remedy is compounded from the favorite recipe of an illustrious physician and chemist, who for many years used it wilh the most complete suc cess in bis extensive private practice. He bad long been profoundly impressed with the wonderlul virtue ot the pisnt Uore- hound, in union with the eleanrinq and healing properties of Tar, extracted from the life principle ol the forest tree Abie Balsamea, or Balm of Gilead.

We refer to lhat most remardable compound, Dr. Morris' Syrup of Tar, Wild Cherry and Hore bound, lor coughs, colds, blood spitting, weak lungs, croup, whooping cough, asth ma, bronchitis, and all diseases of tbe lungs and throat Probably no similar preparation ever before so quickly found its way into public favor as this. Its sale in our community is simply enormous. Those who have been disappointed in oth er to called remedies, are socially invited to try this. Be sure to get the genuine Dr. Morris' Syrup of Tar, Wild Cherry and Horehound. There are imitations in tbe market Look out for them. Trial size 2.5 cents. Large sizes 50 cts. and One Dollar. A very few doses will relieve, and a lit tle perseverance will cure. For sale by G. W. Benford, Somerset, and Mountain & Co., Confluence. Also Agents for Prof. Parker's Pleasant Worm Syrup, which is perfectly safe. Extremely palatable. No physic required. Costs 25 cents. Try it A Remarkable Result.

I was completely discour aged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitter and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have seen a sick day since, and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop miters tor less than one doiur's visit will cost I know it A W 0RK1N6M AN.

Am was expected tbe speech of Gen. Bragg on Souibern war claims bas led to some very sharp sod witty speeches ia reply. Those of Oen. Chalmers, Hooker, and Singleton, all of Mississippi being particularly noticeable. Mr. Chalmers intimated that Gen. Bragg was really a Re publican aad that be secured his elec tion only by magqaeradioir in tbe li on's ekia of Democracy, and be ad vised bim not tj open bis mouth too wide lest bis voice nvgbt betray bim. Air. Mngleton s speech was con fined mainly to an enumeration of tbe president's cabinet officers and mili tary leaders that tbe South, prolific of Statesmen, bad furnished to tbe bigb places of the nation. From bis count it appears tbere were seven presidents, beginning 'with Washing ton, and ending with Taj lor; tbat out of 136 cabinet officers tbe South bad furnished C7, and tbat everj bat tle before tbe late war bad been fought under Southern leaders, and finally tbat no foot of territory except Alaska bad been acquired under oth er tban Southern presidents. Wbat all tbis bad to do with Southern claims is something that bas not yet been found out A new patent bill l as passed tbe Senate, but will not, it is thought, pass tbe House without material amendment. While tie bill contains some needed improvements in the patent laws, it makes changes about which tbere will bo diversity of opin ion. Tbe clause imposing a tax on pat ents, is in a bigb degree objectionable, since it will not only deter inventors from having their devices patented. but will force many poor inventors to forfeit rights to really meritorious in ventions, wbtcb, owing to tbeir lack of means, tbey have not been able to bring before tbe public, or place upon tbe market. The precedence of tbe United States ia the invention cf la bor saving, and money saving, and comfort giving devices, in all tbe arts and manufactures; a precedence at tested by tbe unparalleled number ot over 200,000 patents issued to inven tors, bas been achieved not more by the genius of the American inventor, inherited from his mother necessity, tban the liberal and fostering protec tion of our patent laws. Unlike the other Departments ot tbe Government tbat are conducted at great and di rect cost to tbe people; the Patent Bureau not only sustains itself, it briDgs a large yearly revenue to tbe coffers of the public treasury. Tbe gam that tbe inventor is required to pay on application for a patent, and the larger sum tbat be must pay wben bis pateut is granted, with tbe revenue from caveats and appeals supports a large corps of patent cfEce examiners and other officials and also brings a yearly surplus to the U. S. Treasury. Notwithstanding the fact that tbe f aluries of principal Examin ers tf the Patent ofiice have remained stationary since 1813 (except a re. duction of $100 last year) while those of other officials have been increased from twenty to two hundred per cent, it is now proposed to reduce the sal ary $100. Wby tbe principal em ployees of the only self supporting, solvent, and dividend paying institu tion in possession of the government should be singled out for a reduction of expenses is a question which only tbe genius of a member cf congress can solve. Tbe office of principal ex aminer was established in 1848, and was clashed with tbe higher grades. United Slates district judges then re ceived an average of $2,000, the as sistant postmaster-general and prin cipal examiners $2,500. Since then the salaries of district judges have been increased $3,750, and that of as sistant postmaster-general to $3,500, while tbat of examiner bas actually been reduced. These positions de mand a very high order of attain ments, both legal and scientific. Ex aminers must be familiar with one of tbe most difficult branches of the law. Tbere are few judges on tbe bench who have to pass upon questions of greater importance, where more learn ing or a sounder judgement are re quired. It is in tbeir power to great ly hamper and harass manufacturing industries, and, on the other hand, to subject inventors of valuable improve ments to years of tedious and expen sive litigation. Since 1843, when the salary was $2,500, tbe labors and re sponsibilities of the examiner have greatly increased. At that time bis action was merely advisory to the commissioner. Now be acts in an independent judicial capacity. Then each principal examiner examined 407 applications for patents. In 1877 be passed upon 153 applications. Then tbe field to be gone over in making an examination was infinitely r mailer. Tbere were, tben about 25, 000 patents. To-day there are 350, 000. Tbe publications have largely increased. A9 it is the examiner's duty to ascertain whether au Inven tion bas been previously patented or described in any publication, and to apply all the testa ot patentability es tablished by tae courts, some idea of the vast scope and labor of tbe ex amination is conveyed by the figures given- Up to 1363 tbe salary of principal examiner was nearly tual to tbat of a congressman C.
