He was just in the act of reading his bible be fore retiring for the night, when by some means or other the lamp fell to the floor, was broken and the oil began to burn. Mr. S. 'P. Burns ar rived on the scene and tried to smoth er the flame with a pillow, while at the same time Henry was causing the oil to spread and burn more fiercely by throwing on water.' Chauncey A. Keeley passing that way, saw the blaze and ran into the room and as sisted to outen the fire by means of a piece of carpet.-' Had this relief not come to Henry's aid there is not much doubt but that the house would luvc burned down while he himself would most likely have been seriously, it not fatally, burned. Inbune. .; i Fire at Northumberland. The Northumberland correspond ent to the Sunbury t?m Monday of this week says : Alxuit 4 o'chx-k Monday morning a fire alarm was sounded by the whistles ut VanAlleu's iron works which aroused our people, when it was found that a lire was burning in Colt't store room, occupied by Harry 11. liarter as a general store. Ihe tire company was quickly ut work and played a steady stream on Un building. The smoke was so dense that it was iniMssillo to tell at which part of the building the fire was, so that the contents of the room was saturated with water. The fire was the result of a robU'ry. The window iu the rear of the store had Ix'cn ptied open and muslins, shoes and other goods were found iu an ad joining yard and in rear of lot and it is thought the robbers carelessly threw matches and fired the build ing which frightened them away lx forc they could carry away all of the booty. The fire was first dis covered by John E. ('oil, who gave the alarm. The building is owned by John T. Colt and with the loss of shelving and counters the loss will Ixialxml $700, fully insured. The stock of Mr. Harlerwas insur ed for $2000 which will cover his loss. Mr. liarter will cx-ciipy the room next to Fisher's Imrbcr shop until the former room can Ik- repair ed for his occupancy. The p.ompt arrival of the Hire laddies is greatly appreciated by the assured. EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID. ( );;r neighlxiring town of Milllin biirg has an epidemic of typhoid lever.
