DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HASHI-BURC. —On
last Tuesday night about 10 o'clock, a des
tructive and fearful lire broke out in Harris
burg, doing much damage, and causing a
great deal of excitement. The fire origina
ted in a stable belonging to Mc'Gowen's Ho
tel; and spread with such rapidity, that the
flames could not be checked, and the ad
joining buildings wore all enveloped before
the firemen could bring their streams to bear
upon them The fire kept on spreading un
til it reached the Presbyterian Church, which
was entirely consumed. A thrilling and
grand sight was presented in the burning of
the church, but appalling to many a heart
who witnessed it. It is impossible to ascer
tain the loss, as a great dual of property was
destroyed.
!u the midst of the busy scene, and in
constant danger of the buildings, lay the
corpse of a child—the sadness of whose
household presents a sombre conlrast to the
scene without. Several persons during the
fire tverc injured.
THE FORKS HOTEL. —This well known and
popular house is now conducted by ROBERT
HAGENBUCII, successorof James Freeze. Esq.
The worthy and gentlemanly landlord is
giving the house a thorough "over hauling"
—painting the brick and penciling the same,
also re-papering the rooms, with considera
ble expense attending it.
The proprietor having had a considerable
experience in hotel keeping, the public may
rest assured of receiving accomodations of
the best kind, and his eatables and drinkables
will bo of the very best quality. A more
pleasant place for the traveller to spend a
few days can't handily be found in this sec
tion than the "FORKS." Ilis stables and
sheds nro in a good condition; with an at
tentive hostler.
NEW BOOT AND SHOE ESTABLISHMENT. —Mr
John Neyhard desires to give the ladies
and gentlemen of Bloomsburg and vicinity,
an opportunity of getting boots and shoes
manufactured with special reference to their
superior judgment and good taste. As a
workman, Mr. N. stands foremost in the
ranks. We certainly never wore better,
easier and prettier boots than those manu
factured by Mr. Neyhard. He is just
commencing on his own responsibility,
in the new enterprise, of establishing a
shoe-hop, therefore he respectfully solicits a
liberal share of your patronage. Give him
a trial, customers, and we'll voucl) for the
fc'r, 1 •'
GIFT ENTERPRISES. —We learn that the
Mayor of New York, has broken up the
gift concern of C. E. TODD & Co., and placed
a man named Hall under ¥IOOO bail to an
swer. It appears that Hall was lite owner
of the enterprise and hired two girls named
C. E. and Mary Todd to answer his letters.
They were also arrested, but were dischar- j
ged. Hall was arrested after having been
at the post office for letters, about two hun
dred of which he had then received. These
letters were opened by the Mayor arid con
tained ¥3OO in money. It is presumed that
Hall's receipts were over C-1500 per week.
RT Quite ai) exciting scene occurred nt
Philadelphia on Thursday. A fire took place
in Eighth Street, and after it had made con
siderable headway, it was ascertained that
an old woman and a young girl were in the
fifth story of the building. The excitement
became great and the scene was thrilling.
It was not exactly known in what part of the
story they were, and there were no ladders
present. At length two police officers brave
ly determined to rush in through the fire
and rescue them, if possible. They were
warned that tliey would be suffocated, but
regardless of all, they tied handkerchiefs
around their mouths, dashed through the
flame, and succeeded in finding the woman
end chihl whom they lifted in their arms and
retraced their way into the streets amiu the
cheers of the crowd.
NSWAPAPER CHANGE. —Wo see 'it stated
that the Luzn-ne Union establishment was
disposed of by Sheriff Sale to H. B. Wright,
Esu . and E. S. Goodrich, Esq., has taken
the editorial charge oi the paper, irrr. au.nt
rich, we learn, is a gentleman and a scholar,
possessing talent and energy requisite to
afford his readers an instructive and inter
esting journal. May he meet with success,
politically and pecuniary.
ET We have a little lator news from Salt
Lake. It is of a belligerant character. The
Mormons were bnsy casting and
manufacturing gunpowder. BrifiHflMk
busy stirring up tho Saints to resist
troops.
" BOBEB."— There are a particular net of;
"bows" which Infest this locality who de
semi to be hit off through the columns of . a
Sewspaper. It is thib class of people that
il ways come in late to meetings, lectures,
.etc. This unfortunate class of people make
it a point never, by the nearest accident, to
be "up to time." Invariably, too, they wear
heavy boots, walk as if the place was made
to be stamped upon, and slam the doors
witn a most unmistakeable energy. As a
general thing they continue to come in, in
the very midst of the most eloquent pas
sages or the most melting'symphony, when
theware sure to attract the attention of the
nuance, and divide the honors fvjth the
accredited hero of the exercises. They,
sometimes, consider it a reproach to sit
near the door, but must needs steer under
full sail towards tho "highest seat in the
synagogue." They are never satisfied mere
ly to come in, but must herald their advent
Jby a grand flourish of trumpets. This spec
j imen of a "bore" is a very aggravating one,
i and tries people's patience sadly.
I Another class of "bores" are those who
I keep up a continual coughing and spitting
in churches and lecture halls. Besides be
ing annoying to the preacher and congre
gation, it certainly shows a want of good
I breeding.
Not long ago, whilst listening to a very
able discourse Irorrf one of our most cmi-
I nent divines, our interest was considerably
abated in several of the finest parts of the
I sermon by the actions of eu couple of the
fair sex, who sat opposite to us. They com
menced to give a coughs and
cleaning of their throats, which put the
surrounding part of the congregation on
"nettles" during the whole of the discourse.
We felt much provoked, and wished the
young ladies far enough in "Jericho."
On these points mentioned, all ws have
to say is, that no real lady or gentleman
would be guilty of such manifest readiness,
and it too generally comes from a class of
[ which better things are expected.
| The different.classes of "bores" to whom
the above article has reference will please
, make a note.
if We clip the following paragraphs
from the Pottsvillo Register, of April 3rd,
upon the subject ol Good Friday and F.aster:
"Yesterday occurred this solemn festival,
commemorating, as it does, the crucifixion
of Jesus, "the Second Man," and "the Lord
from Heaven." At Rome, it is observed in
the service of the Tencbrae —a ceremonial
representing the entombment of the Saviour.
Cross-buns are used on this day in England,
and, we think, on the Continent, in imita
tion of ecclesiastical eulogia , or consecrated
loaves, formerly bestowed in tho church as
alms, or given to those who, from any im
pediment, could not receive the host. The
French substitute holy for good in designa
ting "Good Friday;-" the Germans cali it
"Stiller Freitag," or "Char Freitag," the
latter signification being derived from the
old word "charen," signifying to do penance
or suffer.
Easter Sunday follows Good Friday. The
term Easter is derived troin the Saxon word
signifying rising. The Jews it seems cele
brated the Passover, in conformity with the
directions given to Moses, on 'the 1 4th day
of the month Nisan, being a lunar month, of
which the 14th day eilher falls on, or next
following, the day of the vernal equinox.
Our Lord's crucifixion occurred oil Friday;
the resurrection, therefore, took place on the
first day of the next week, which from Ihenco
is denominated the Lord's Day. The prim
itive Christians, in their de-ire to celebrate
the anniversary, fell into two different sys
tems.
MURDER BV TWO BOYS. —A terrible affair
occurred at Littleton Station, on the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, on Sunday night,
21st of February. Mrs. Manly, a widow
woman, resided there with her two sons and
kept a grocery. An improper intimacy be
tween her and a man in the neighborhood
had been suspected. On Sunday the boys
went away to be gone all night, but hap
pened lo return unexpected in the night, and
found this man in bed with their mother.— |
Enraged, they fell upon him and killed him.
The boys both oscaped, the one taking the
Eastern train and the other coming West.
One of them was only ten and the other fif
teen years old. The man was slabbed three i
times through the heart, and is supposed to !
have died almost instantly. Tho boys had
frequently warned him to discontinue his
visits to the house, threatening to kill him if
he did not. *|
SHADE TREES. —Now is the time to set out '
shade and other trees. Our town is a little j
behind in this respect. A little more pride
should be made manifest in planting shade i
trees in front of the houses, both for the \
appearance and comfort they afford on a .
hot summer day. There is a good deal of
room for this kind of improvement.
Otr SATURDAY night last a fire broke out!
in one of the buildings contiguous to the
Wyoming Seminary. It originated in the
upper story, and is supposed to be the work
of an incendiary. It was fortunately dis
covered immediately and extinguished with
out doing much damage.
OUR TRIBNU Baltzer Leacock, has establish
ed a fish market at the "American House,"
where the citizens of this place and vicin
ity can be accommodated daily with a su
perior quality of fish of different kinds.—
The principle fish at his stand are Salmon,
Pike, Shad, Bock-fish, Halibut, and other
species of fish, which he will sell cheap by
the piece or pound. Customers will do well
by calling upon him iu the early part of the
eajr ij-sa. - vury ready sale and will go.
ty The "STAB" is pretty well crowded
this week with advertisements, therefore
excluding from its columns much interest
ing matter which wo had intended to pub
lish in this number. Our readers will please
bear with us a little in this respect, and we
shall endeavor to present to them a little
more news in the future.

A CAM TO TBE imiC.
The public? wai apprised thiuugn the col
umns of the "Columbia Democrat" some
time in the fall of 185T, of my neglect and
heartless disposition exercised torrnrds a
poor orphan girl, that I had brought from
the Schuylkill County Pqgr House ; all of
which was pictured off by the machine that
is tho embodiment of all political light and
knowledge, in his own estimation, and from
whom a moral lecture of duties would, to
say tho lcast'of it, come witli very bail grace,
especially to those that know tho man. I
I bad not intended to notico this attempt to
slander and traduce my chamcter, as pre
sented in the columns of the "Columbia
Democrat," had it not been lor the indus
trious, slanderous tongues who hake since
endeavored to keep up and increase in
magnitude the crime first intimated by the
"Columbia Democrat," all .of which is a
base falsehood and a cruel attempt to trad use
and slander rue and my family. For the
[ satisfaction of those who are extremely
curious, I append to this Communication
from the Alms House of Schuylkill county,
under date of March 22d 1858, the follow
ing letter:—
Schuylkill Co. Alms House, March 22, 1858.
Mr. JOSEPH R. VANDERSLICE, Dear Sir :
Yours of the 16th insl. has been
received, and in reply you are informed that
Ann Zechman still remains in tbe Alms
House, her health has been good since you
brought her hero.

SHERIFF'S INTERPLEADER ACT —This im
portent law, hitherto in force in Philadelphia
and Luzerne counties only, has been ex
tended recently by act of assembly to the
entire State. It is modeled after a. British
statute of William IV, and has proved a
most salutary law. It effects its object in a
much mote direct, au.l satisfactory manner
than could be attained under the old practice-
Its application is this:
The Sheriff, of any county, levys upon
real or personal estate, as the property of a
defendant in an execution, a third party
steps in, and notifies the officer of bis title
to. the property, and protests against the
sale.
Heretofore, except in the counties above
named, the Sheriff, after being indemnified
by the Plaintiff, had usually proceeded
with the sale, and the third parly's only
method ol obtaining redress, was by a tedi
ous and expensive action against him for
trespass.
Under the new act, that officer, in all
cases where the title of property ur.der levy
is disputed, may ask the proper court for a
Rule on the Plaintiff and claimant, directing
them to appear, to try, and have decidbd
the question as to the title of tho property.
It is a short method of riding our courts of
extended litigation, and a wholesome safe
guard against the machinations of defraud
ing debtors.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD AB'RANGEMKNTS. —Wo
hear of a new Rarlroad connection of much
interest to travelers, and calculated to facil-
I litate the transmission of the mails. The
j Superintendents of the Williamsport and
} Elrnlra, €ata\vissa, WiDsanispon and Erie,
j Sunbury and Erie, and Northern Ceutrial
i Railroads, met in the first named town on
| Tuesday, 16th inst., lor the purpose of corn
i pleling arrangements for a through coniiec
j tion of these important routes. It is expect
ed that by the first of June a railway will be.
I ready for travel between Sunbury and Har
| risburg. The mails from the South for the
' West can then be taken up at Harrisburg
i and conveyed over the connected roads to
I Elmira, whence they may be despatched
[ ever the New York and Erie railroad. At
1 present the mails for the West are taken to
! New York, and thence sent over the Erie
j road. The gain of time by the now nrrauge-
I ment will be upwards of ten hours. It is
supposed that many travelers will prefer this
route, as it leads through some of the mo-t
i magnificent scenery to be found in the Uui
i ted States.
WHY COUSINS SHOULD NOT MARRY. —In the
annual report of the Superintendent of the
Kentucky Institution for the Deaf and Dumb,
we find the following conclusive argument
against the marriage of cousins.
"From ten to twelve per cent, of deaf
mutes are the children of cousins. It is
greately to be regretted that tits law forbid
ding the marriage of first cousins did not
pass the recent Legislature. These mar
riages are a violation of a law of nature, as
is evidenced by the afilictions visited in al
most every case upon their offspring in deaf
ness, biit.uness and idiocy; and ought to be
a violation of human laws also. The Com
monwealth has the clear right to protect it
self against these ill-starred matches, whose
offspring it has to sustain, too frequently tor
life. It may be hoped that this important
subject will not escape the action of our leg- j
islators many years longer. It is confidently
believed that by forbidding marriages of
this kind and by any proper attention and
care of infants laboring under the disease
started, the number of deaf mutes in the
community might be diminished one half in
a generation.
TWENTY YEAR'S SENTENCE OP A WOMAN.—
Iluldah Morrison, the wretch who set fire to
the Ashtabula County, Ohio, Infirmatory,
by the burning of which seven persons lost
their lives, pleaded guilty to the indictment,
and was sentenced to the Ponitentiary for
twenty years.
POST OFFICE APPOINTMENT. —The Post
Master General on Thursday last appointed
DANIEL HESS, Post mas er at Lime Ridge;
vice, C. W. Low, resigned. Mr. Hess is a
sound democrat, and will no doubt make a
good officer. The Post Office is also remov
ed from the Half-way House, to Centrevillo.
On last Saturday evening, by some
slight accident happening the vehicle to
which a couple of horses belonging to Mr.
NOAH S. PRENTISS, were attached, they
became frightened and unmanageable—and.
made good their escape. They ran from
near our office to Scott town, a short dis
tance, when one came in collision with a
telegraph post, hurling itaell considerable.
The other one escaped uninjured. The dri
vers were left comfortably seated in the
carriage some distance behind, 'all right.' {

The Black Republican Surrdaitmio.
I There seems to b a good deal more in
the Montgomery amendmerit titan the Black
Republicans bargained lor. The dullest of
them begin to discover that there is a cat in
the meal-tub. It is a "sell" oi the woret sort
—a genuine First of April aflair.
The House bill provides that in the elec
tions to be held under it in Kansas, those res
idents shall vote who are qualified to do so
under the existing Territorial laws. The
by these laws are
a six in the Territory m.d
certain test truths—among these, one in
which the voter is required to swear that lie
will support the Constitution and laws of the
United States, the fugitive slave law inclu
ded, and that ho has not interposed to
obstruct the execution of this particular law.
Such is the effect ol one of the provisions of
the Montgomery amendment. It is certainly
odd to see the Black Republican party re
quiring a test of fidelity to the Constitution
and the laws of the United States, especially
i to the fugitive-slave law, and a solemn ab
negation of having interfered to obstruct the
execution of the fugitive slave law. We say
this provision is a novel one to be inserted
in a Black Republican measure.
Tbe Federal Constitution provides that
"new Slales maybe admitted by the Congress
into the Union but the House bill improves
upon that provision. While requiring the
voters in Xtqjsts to support the Constitution
ot the United States, the House itself takes
the liberty of aiming that instrument in a
radical parliculat; for their bill provides
that the President, by and with the advice
and consent of the border ruffians and aid
emigrants in the Territory, shall admit Kan
sas into the Union by his own proclamation.
Now, the President iB a trustworthy man,
and may be implicitly confided in to do all
that an honest man ought to do in any mat
ter or emergency, public or private. We are
sure he would not violate the trust reposed
in him by the Black Republicans ol the
House in the least particular. But yet we
doubt whether even he ought to be empow
ered with the discretion.of violating the
Constitution of the United States. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty. "The one
man power" is an everlasting bugaboo with
tlio "outs." Wy> had, therefore, better stick
to the trust even Mr. Bu
chanan. The act would be imprudent in
itself; the precedent would be very danger
ous.
We will suppose a case that might hap
pen, in order to expose another difficulty
into which this House bill might drag the
Black Republicans. What if, with the army
'now in Kansas under the President's orders
with the "ruffians" hovering in swarms on
the Missouri border, and "fraud" stalking
sovereign and supreme over the Territory—
what if, by the united means of these three
dread agencies, a vole should be obtained
favorable to the Lecompton Constitution; or,
failing this, what if by these three powerful
means a pro-slavery Constitution, and this
Constitution should be carried by the poten
tial agencies alluded to—and what if, in ei
ther of these events, the President should
admit Kansas fiat of his own procla
mation afc a JR'ate ff.tu itie fSitunHere
would be a rare' kettle of fish prepared by
the Black Republicans themselves in this
House bill of theirs. The Herald's declara
tion would be realized, and Mr. Giddings
would discover that he had at last "swal
lowed a nigger" in his old age. The Black
Republicans would find that their big oaths
—worse than those which the army swore
in Flanders—by which they pledged them
selves before heaven and earth that they
would never, directly or iudirectly, vote for
admitting a slave Slate into the Union—were
all broken into flinders.
IT Winter, which strips the leaves from
around us, makes us see the distant regions
they formerly consealed; so does old age
rob us of our enjoyments, only to enlarge
the prospect of eternity before us.
