Supt, During the burning of tho Iioum of J.G.Crouso,Es(r .ou Monday after noon, Jacob bteiuinger, living on the adjoining farm, made a very narrow escape from death. He pvas on the roof battling witu tne names when ho felt it sinking and jumied nor did ho leave the roof any (too soon, lor is naa just landed on ground when it car iu. During the storm of Tuesday af tornoon tho largo tent belonging to Samuel Dowen, erected at tho east cud of Main street for the use of the Ladies Aid Society of tho Reformed church for tho purpose of holding a festival was blown down. Nearly everything had been removed before tho storm camo upon it. Tho dam ago to tent is very slight. Mai Drresc of Kansas, and D.ivid Ranch, wife and daughter of Leba non, have been circulating among Snyder county relatives for the past week', renewing old acquaintances and forming new ones. Mr. Dreese has not been hero sinco ho left about thirteen years ago, at which tiino he was a small boy and has now grown to full manhood and finds many changes on tho phty-grouud of his childhood. Tho Port Royal Time says : Rev. A. II. Spaugler, pastor of tho First English Lutheran Church of Brad dock, Pa., agreeably surprised his Port Royal friends by suddenly dropping in on them last Wednes day evening aud wns accorded a hearty greeting at the hands of his many friends here. He was looking remarkably well and his tine appear- auce was a subject of remark, lie and his family like their new home very much. Dr. A. M. Smith of Adamsburg, who has just returned from an ex tended tour through tho western Statos, called on us yeterday and reported the Snyder county people in nnd about Newton, Kansas, happy and contented, with prospects for a good harvest. Ou his w ay east ho stopped nt Chicago to seo the fair, and w hile it is not yet complete, says it is almost beyond description. The reports circulated about the extor tionate rates charged by tho hotels nnd fair management he says is all bosh. There are plenty of places where goo.l accommodations can be had at Sjfl.5'1 per day, and for the small sum of thirty cents one can go by boat to the grounds and return, n distance of from live to eilit miles necordingto the location of the visi tor, while the fare by rail is lower still. Ho further stated that the general admission of fifty cents en titled tho visitor to seo ull tho exloh its. This of course d jo not include tho side shows, w hich are o,uito nu- lid lodging, they now charga from melons, but even these can be e'LUeu to fifteen dollors per day for tor a sin all ice.

This is the spirit in which Chicago must strike the traveler as ho ap proaches the city, smells the smoke from the thousand of munufaetor i"s, hear tho hum of business and Sees its eiidhs ru.-.h of hum inity which like Tennyson's book seems to "go ui forever." I came here im pressed with the idea that Chicago was tho Sod' mi of America, that the only way to get away ulive and with a penny iu your pocket was to have one hand on your purse and the other tm your revolver. To say t lint I have been happily disapointed is putting it mildly. I havo been in Chicago probably a dozen times in former years and I llnd it no differ ent from what I had always found it before until I approached Jackson Park where the dark lines of men, women and children remind one very much of a colony of ants invading a hollow log. Of course tho compar ison may be odious to compare tho World's Exposition to a hollow log but you would not think so if you were hero with Ilio to-d.iy. It is just as well tUt the truth bo told, for I erao here to find out how to see the TjKttt for the least money and tell it to you trial you might benefit by my experience, and if I were to nil vise nuy one to come now I would most llagrautly violate the contidenco in which I hope I am held at home. Iu order that you may tho better understand what I mean I will say that there is not a single building ou the ground that I have visited iu which you do not hear the sound of the carpenter's saw and hammer and scraping of the plasterer's trowel. The disappointment this causes is better appreciated when you ivuiem. ber that the World's Pair buildings cover 1. acres of ground, and the extent of your disappointment may bo better appreciated than describ ed to find yourself walking half a mile to get into a building und then be confronted at the door with a pine board nailed across it with the words "no admittance." But, per haps you hud read of this particular building and are anxious to see its interior, and you press your face against the window only to find the inside of tho pane so splashed with whitewash that you can't see twenty feet ahead of you. I make partic ular note of this fact so that none of you may bo so badly disappointed as I havo been by coming no early, for there is no possibility of the ex hibits being placed in order before tho end of June. You may thiuk I am "talking through my hat," but wait aud see. I have also found Chicago far dif ferent from what I expected iu the way of prices for provisions. To tho render of our New York and Philadelphia papers it would appear as if it required a mint of money to live iu Chicago for a day. This is true to some extent here as it is any where else, for the "fool and his luonwy aroeasly parted ;' but there is no necessity for any one spending more money hero now than it was a year ago this 1 st U of May. Good lodging can bo had nt tt lollar a day near the grounds nud good meals right on the grounds for '0 cents, and I am of the opinion tbatboiuoof the hotels will go beg giug for guests before the season is over. On the other hand there are plenty of places where extortion, or iu other words, high handed rob bery is practiced. For instance nt tho Auditorium Hotel, where I paid J.5o a day last year for boardiug 1 lodging uloue, while their bar foes aro away up in G. as for instance, I was invited to indulge iu n glass of ginger ale at the Auditorium cafe last night and it nearly took our breath nway wlem my friend plank ed down 50 cent for the fl tine and received no change iu return. But there are plenty of fools w ho think it great to live at a pi tee where such high prices are paid. Yiu have n a l about the 50 cents per cup of eotV.-e some of the New York reporters paid mi the ground. I don't b Hi e a word of it, and the only reason I can a ;siieiu fur such gross misrepresentations is that some of our eastern cities are jeal ous of Chicag ) and are trvimr to injuro the World's Fair. We can hardly believe that a eitv like New- York would lay the put of the country village croaker because it "wasn't in it," but it really does ap pear as if sueli wai the case. I have purchased a number of artielesou the ground an 1 I paid the same t r them there that I would have been obliged to pay anywhere else, u: coffee (lirst cl.isi) lo eeiils, s in l witches 5 cents, California naval oranges 5 cents, aoples and good ones at that i 5 cents, b.aiiannas two for five, and so on. 1 tin I theg i uds very obliging, and nothing to cause displeasure has happened in lnv sight iu our two days' visit on tho ground. It would afford mo pleasure to de scribe the interior of some of the buildings but if I were to try it the visitor one month hence would not recognize it from the description, except perhaps iu the general out line, b'uee I will confine myself to the r'e of one building and a section i '.LZ '.. Pennsylvania State building for one and tho Art gallery as the other. Pennsylvania was not the first to sign the Declaration of Independ ence, but for once it has g -tteil there and with both feet, for it his the prettiest State building .u the ground. There are other buildings that h iV" cost probably twice th money but there is not a neater building among them, and yet it is not of modern design, for ii is an almost eviet reproduction of the -l I State House in Philadelphia. Inl ine hatelv within- its portals stands the "Old Liberty Btll." This pre cious souvenir of our country s lib erty is guarded by two stalwart po. liceUlell who ke p a C "!:: t u.t w.it.'h owr it and do not v.-n a!: cv ., Olle tO tollcll it. It is O'l" of the chief attractions of the fair, a:i I I venture to say that fewer people .j invay without seeing it thin any other single object on the croun I. The building affords genuine hopi tality, for on its exteusive balcony will be fouud several hundred chairs win-re the weary may find rest. The other building I referred to is the Art building alvut one third of which is thrown open to visitors, audit would require sevtral whole days to go through this section alone and do it justice, but I am ii (raid if some of you were here you would bo impressed with thj Ivluf that the only justice tint could bo done to this exhibit would bo to lock it up or label it " For Men Only," as tho extremely modest will find themselves with nature ou every hand clothed only iu her girbof modesty which is a touch of the ar tist's brush hero or a chip of tho sculptor's chisel there to give tho picture or statue iikre intensity. They cill these pictures clissic, I presume they are, but it you wcro to tako a picture from sonic of these and scud thoiu through the I. S. mails you would be scut to tho peni tentiary as fast as steam coul I carry you. One thing ituprossod iuo in particular aud that w as that tho men havo nearly all developed into great admirer of tho classic, for they aro scon to stand aud g uo with wondcr ladou eye at these uudruped figure., w hile tho women, v ho seem uofc to havo the classic so well developed, turn up their nose as they cist a busty glauco v vor their houkler in the directiau of tho spoechle but itupassiouate figuiv. Thus it will bo seou that what ono adaiiiv au- other dislikes, and one of the great est mistakes people can make iu coining to this fair is to enter the ground with a crowd of associates and try nnd keep together. They will hardly I for any length of time, and if they do it will be be cause they pav more attention to themselves in trying to keep togeth er than they did to the exhibits.
