Fire at Meshoppcn.--The new Carriage Shop of R. J. Halloo!;, at Mcshoppen. with a large amount of made up work, stock and tools and materials stored therein was entirely destroyed by fire on Mon day morning, last, The fire originated from the bursting of a Keroina oil lamp which one of tho hands was lighting, about 4 o'clock in the morning. The lamp-lighter was seriously burned, but with great presence of uiiu 1, saved himself from death by recklessly rolling in a p>ool of muddy water near by. The loss to Mr. lloileck amounts to about SSOOO, about half of which is covered by insurance. Juan I'once De Leon--a visionary of the olden time, is sail to have spent his life, in a vain search after that fabulous spring, whoso waters were reported to restore health, youth and beauty to all who drank ol them In his old age, he found, not the spring—but that he has wasted the Spring and Summer of his life, in purouit of a mere phantom of the imagination. The DeLeons are not all dead. But they can avoid the deep sorrow and disappointment of the old Mr. Leon, by repairing to the Soda-foun now in full operation at Dr. Ilhoad's new- drug-store, where such a pleasant and health-giving beverage is dispensed, as docs not make make you "Think of your head in the morning." The Horse, and other livo stock ; By Robert Jennings, Veterinary Surgeon, author of "Ilorse Training Made Easy," a work of upwards of 1200 pages, boucl in leather, is now being sold to sub scribers Ly Mr. S. L, Howell, agent To every prac tical sensible man it is worth acsrt-Joad of thetrashy books purchased by same. Every farmer at should havo a copy-—to whom it would prove an invaluable hand-book. The work treats of the history an 1 varieties of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Ac, and their diseases, their crossings anl breeding an! tho best method for their feeding and general management, intended as a complete guile to tanners and others Rafti in this place, up to Sunday last, is said by those wh • hive kcj a record of it, to have occurred within every twenty-fjar hours for forty three days consecutively. This period will be long remembered and spoken of by all as the "rainy season." In duration it exceeded, by three days the famous flood of Noah's time. We are not aware however that anybody had laid fhe founda tionsjof an ark. It was thought no doult, as by the sinners in the olien time, that it wouldn't be much of a shower after all, or that the new canal boat now about finished by Mr. Flickner, would carry all those who wou'd havo through tickets for tho excursion. T!io ditF reneo ii: "ho amount of rain between this and-Noah's fl ud, has probably saved some folks in these parts, from some pretty tall wa ding—if not front a baptism by total immersion. The Public Schools at this place we learn, will be opened on Monday next. Tho directors have secured the services as principal teacher of Mr, Thompson Bo.Ho, who 13 recommended by our Coun ty Superintending and others acquainted with him, as a very competent an I etii ;ent teacher. As as sistants, and for the primary departments, Miss Sarah White anl Miss E. Overfield, are engaged--. With these teachers, utile-- their capacities for the positions havo been grossly over estimated, all that will be required to afford us good schools for the season, is a hearty support and co-operation in the work on the part of parents' pupils. Without this, the best of teachers and schools will fail to do all that could and should be done. The Teach ers should, at least, fin Ino unncseesary obstacles in their way; for to those who go about their work with an honest, earnest will to do their whole duty thereii. always enough to keep their heads, handsi and hearts fully employed. A Few Mure few— say ten or a doz en, of those persons of whom some one, long ago as serted ;• they wore "not all dead," were found to be alive, and around sa cireu3 day. A suiootli-faeed, curly-haire-l, Peter-Funk and sharper, on that eventful day, with a horse and open buggy drove at hea lleng spool into the very center of town, stopped, an l rising up, in a loud voice, like one crying in the wilderness, announced to the as tonished '-natives," the abounding fact that he "wasn't after stamps"—didn't want money—had more of the filthy stuff than he knew what to do with —was going to give some to the people of this poverty-stricken town—so help him Juhny Bull!" He then proceeded to sell to the first comer a genuine 81 0, Greenback for s!', —Then 85, for $4- then one dollar bills for seventy- five cents ; and when be got down to the ragged stamps ho scattered them to the winds and thoy fell like a slower of blessings on the heads of his g-iping auditors ? assuring them at the same time in Lis most emphatic tones, that he wasn t drunk nor crazy, Lut that he understood his ' biz. ' All right so t iir . Then came massive gold lockets worth as he sai J SlO, which be sold for 45 aid returned the money to the lucky purchaser—All right yet. alben cauie solid gold rings for 82. each and the money returne Ito the taker—All right, again. Sharper at this point in the game—started up his horse a few feet and threatened to leave the town, but repenting of this harsh resolution stopped The flats followed and were again around him as thick at—boys and girls aroucl a school house. He again proceeded to sell lockets—at 85. each, which were greedily taken--the takers supposing that they would get back their tnoney, as before. After xuak-< ing a dozen or more persons supremely happy with this delusion—and their glittering prizes, Mr. Funk started up again, just a little, to get his borse out of the rush , and having done so turned around with bat in hand, a bland smile upon his face, and ith sundry graceful bows, bade bis genorous patrons an affectionate good-bye ! Patting whip to his hone, he dissappeared from the straining eyes of the "spoonies" like the baseless fabric ot a dream ; who to console themselves had, each, a brass trinket, worth at least, fifteen a vacant place in in their pockets for a to. tWI, Their countenances indicated that the ideas that; "111 is not gold that glitters, " and that "The fools were not all dead," had jast found a foothold in their unsophisticated noddles. They retired from the scene, wiser, if not better men, Married BILLINGS—QUICK—In Scranton. Pa., on Thurs. day, May 23d 1867, by Rev. B. D. Sturdevant, Mr. H. F.

Ar cher, now Postmaster at Fairfield, Somerset Co., Me , was attacked with spitting of blood, cough, weakness of Lungs, and general debility, so much so that our family physician declared him to have a "SEATED CONSUMPTION." He was under medical treatment for a number of months but received no benefit from it. At length, from the solicitation of himself and others I was induced to purchase one bottle of WIS TAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, which ben efitted him so much lobtained annother bottle,which in a short time restored him to his usual state of health.
