FIRE. —About 3 o'clock this morning the
frame building between EVANS & IIIL
DRETII'B and' TURNER & CORDON'S was
discovered to be on tire. The building was
occupied by Mrs. SWEET, as a millinery
store, and \V. I). RIDGWAY, as a lunch room.
The origin of the tire seems to he shrouded in
a good deal of mystery. The second story of
the building was occupied by Mr. RIDGWAY
as a dwelling.' He says he awoke to iind the
room full of smoke and tire, and he and his
family barely escaped.
It is quite probable that the fire caught in
the upper part of the building.
Air. RIDGWAY lost all his household goods
and clothing.
The goods hi the stores were all removed,
together with counters, &c.
Tne building was owned by HENRY
STREETER, Esq.
Mr. RIDGWAY'S loss on furniture is 8
insured for §4OO, Loss on stock $ ; in
sured for §4OO.
Mrs. SWEET'S loss from damage to goods is
considerable, but is probably covered by in
surance.

j bed, at his residence on Alain street. He re
tired Wednesday well as usual, lie being a
" i late riser his family did not call him until
i noon Thursday. At this time his sister. Airs.
' j CRAWFORD, went I<> his room and called;
receiving no answer she immediately became
1 ! alarmed. She -found his room was locked,
' and the key in the door. Climbing out on the
veranda she opened the shutters and dUeover
, ed his body lying on the bed. Her cries soon
brought others to her assistance. A key was
procured and the room entered. He must
| have been dead some hours, for his bodv was
1 cold and stiff. The cause of his death is not
known, hut it was probably disease of the
heart. His death falls heavily upon his fuini
p j lv and a large circle of friends.

IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC
, TORS AND TAX PAYERS—The fol
-1 lowing decision of the Superintendent of

tax-payers as well as directors, as violation
of the law upon the subject will deprive di -
| trie's of tlx; State appropriation, and snbject
Directors to severe penalties:

Ilarrisburg. Pa., Dec. 1, lsTtt. j
There is hut one time in tlx* year when di
rectors can adopt a new series of text books
| for tlx- schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
j electing teachers and the opening of the
; schools. Section 23, Act of Mi y 1. 1554, saw
" That innnediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state.
| and before the opening of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall he a meeting of the
diroctors or controllers and teachers of each
district: at which meeting the directors or
| controllers shall decide upon a series of school
hooks, in the different, branches to he taught
i during the en-uiug school year; which hooks,
ami no other, shall he used in the school- of
1 the district during said period."
Such is the law, with this exception, that
hooks cannot now he changed more frequent
ly than once in three years.
