FIRE AT FRANKLIN.
On Sunday evening, a I unit seven
o'clock, the old Kinnear Hotel stand,
owned by Mm, James M. Bredin, and
occupied by tlie grocery store of V.
A. Cooper and millinery store of Miss
McICenzie, was discovered to lie on
liie. The flames sprea I rapidly, and
but very few goods wore saved from
the milinery store, while Mr. Cooper
succeeded in getting out ahnut one
third of his st;ck of groceries. The
firemen were promptly on hand, and
worked so energetically as to confine
the flames to the first floor, no dam
age being done to the second story, ex
cept that done by water.
.Mr. Cooper's loss is estimated at f fi,
030, with full insurance; Miss Mc
Kenzie's loss, fl.fiOO, covered by insur
ance; damage to building about fl,
500, fully insured.
The second story of the building
was occupied by families, who succeed
ed in removing most of their furniture.
The frame portion of the block, oc
cupied by Murks & ISloominjrdale,
clotlrcrs, and fHoo of Dunn & Me
Kissik, Attorneys at L-.iw, was emptied
of its contents. A portion of the
poods in UI mini's Boot A Shoe Store,
and in Winsor Bros. & Co's. ware
house, were carried into the street, in
anticipation of the rapid spread of
the flames. The heavy brick wall be
tween the store of Miss McKenzie and
ti e frame portion of the building, oc
cupied by the above named establish
ments, undoubtedly preveutel a more
serious conflagration.
Thj following losses were experienc
ed by parties in removing goods:
Bio ingd.tle & Marks, clothing
tore, loss, S-HIO ; insured.
Duun A McKisskk, law off.ee, loss
8100.
D. McVav, household goods, loss
8100.
H. Darrab, household goods, loss
250.
'ihe fallowing are the Insurance
Companies, as fur as could be ascer
tained :
Union, San Francisco, $2,000; Fire
man's Fund, of San Francism, 82,
000 ; Home Columbus, O., 8750; Lan
caster, Pa., 8750. The ctiuse of the
fire is uuk noun.
At the time the alarm was first
sounded, the congregations of the sev
eral churches had assembled, and ser
vices were about commencing, but in
a few moments the pastors were left
without hearers, and no services were
held except in the Methodist, Episco
pal and Evangelical Chun-lies, where
the congregations reassembled alter
the fire was extinguished. Citizen.
We clip the following items from
the Warreu Ledger:
On Monday nioruing, at Spring
Creek Station, a man named (j. Ii.
Dustin, while in the woods felling trees,
a tree in falling broke off some limbs ;
and while looking up to witness the
result, one of the falling limb- struck
him on the left of the center of his
head, and at last accounts he was ii. a
critical condition. Mr. Du.tin for
merly lived in Warren tiud is about
sixty five years old.
Lumbering seems to be a precarious
business, und working in the woods
dangerous to life. Serious accidents
are frequently reported and sometimes
fatal ones. Mr. Arthur Lnucks s ti nf
J. I. Loucks of this place, was caught
between a stick of timber and a tree
one day last week, while wcrking a
few miles from town. We understand
his injuries are so bad as to confine
him to the house the rest of the win
ter. On Monday morning last at about
five o'clock, a fire broke out in Tidioute
near the Tidioute biidge, and destroy
ed several buildings. Among the still
ferers were Olen & Gilhllen, Ii. Rams
dell and F. MclJotinel.all blacksmiths.
Their losses were quite heavy, all hav
ing recently put up new buildings for
t .eir work ami all will stocked with
iron. Tidioute acknowledged itself
indebted to Green's water works in
having the fire stopped where it was
A subscription was handed uround on
Monday for the be.iefii of the losers,
nnd quite a large amount subscribed.
It is believed all will resume busiuccs
nt an early day.
A man in Spring Creek township
vaccinated himself in both anus one
or two weeks since, mill soon took to
his bed, and died within two days. It
was believed in making the marks on
his arm he touched a vein, und having
ihe erysipelas, it drove t to his vitals
which cat Scil his death us stuled His
ranio was Joliu Armitage, and Was
about fifty years of ago An incident
transpired nt his funeral worth relat
ing. Mr. Thus. Watt, of Sugar (Jrove,
a relutive, uttended Mr. Armitage's
funeral. On returning home a couple
of p r.-ons run their horses, overset Mr.
Watt's sleigh, kil.ed the horse and
injnried Mr. Watts in a serious nn n
tier, though not dangerously. Nichols
attempted to run past mm Wright and
Wright thought he couldn't do it, and
heme thrt uecid'-nt. We learn that
Mr. Watt settled the matter on the
parlies paying him one hundred and
fell dollars.

We clip the following items from
the Clari in Democrat:
Mr. Joseph Giivcr, of Limestone
township has sold liis farm for 81.000
to James Pointer, Esq., of Forest
county. Mr. Unyer, intends moving
to Michigan,' nml' will have a public
snle of bis stock, fanning implements
and Household luruiture ou the lUili

There appears to be a very cencral
dissatisfaction anions the lumbermen
of the lower Clarion, with the manner
the Clarion Iliver Navigation Compa
ny is managing business on the stream.
They assert that much of the work
done is an injury, and more damage
results to rafts than before the compa
ny touched the channel.
At a meeting of stockholders of the
t st National Bank of Clarion, held
at the banking house, on the 9th inst.,
the following board of officers were
chosea for the ensuing year: Samuel
Wilson, President ; Jucob Black, YLe
President ; Sam'l Wilson, Jacob Black.
John K. Stratum, I. Brennemnn,
Laufiiian, Samuel Frampton, und (5.
W. Arnold, Directors; 0. W. Arnold,
Cashier; F. M. Arnold, Teller. The
bank is well managed and in a flourish
ing condition,"
The stockholders of The Discount
and Deposit Bank, of Clarion, met in
their banking bouse o.i the first day
of January, at Clarion, nud elected
the following Directors for theensuiug
year: James Campbell, Theo. S. Wil
son, James B. Km x, D. B. Curll,
Amos W. Cornell, W B. dull, and
T. B. Barber. This bank is already
doing a good business, and a3 the
stockholders are individonlly liable,
the institution is a safe one for depos
itors, although not incorporated.
We take the following items from
the Elk Iiemocrat :
Although most all our exchanges
speak of small pox being in their
midst, Kidgway is entirely exempt
from this dread disease. e as yet,

case has made its appearance iu our

dieted for manslaughter. He was ad
milted to bail in the sum of $1,000 lor
his appearance at the next term of
Court.
Owing to the want of a fall run of
lumber, has caused a great scarcity of
money in this and trurrouuding coun
ties, the like oth which has never before
been known. Our business meu were
never so badly in need of money us at
the present time.
On Saturday last a well known
personage, w ho keeps a small place on
Spring strtet, took a turkey from
Shank's stwre without so much as "by
your leave, sir," and started up the
street. The clerk followed him to bis
place nnd told h in he wanted pay for
the turkey which he hud taken. The
line old gentleman told him to bring
in his hill. The clerk went back to the
store and made out a bill for fourteen
pounds nud a quarter of turkey, nt
one dollar per pound. The bill was
promptly mid. The old fellow was
evidently trying to "bull" the poultry
market. For the sake of his family
not for his own--we supprtss the name
