At two o'clock this morning a Are broke out in a bakery on Sherman street, and the flames spreading rapidly almost the en tire buslnesa portion of the city waa consumed. The fire spread with auch wonderful rapidity that any attempt at saving anything would have been useless. All along its course terrific explosions of gunpowder, petroleum, liquor, &o., were of frequent occurrence. Buildings were blown into atoms. The hook and ladder apparatus and hoBe carriage were the first things to burn, leaving but a few feet of worthless hose with which to battle with the devouring elements. The new water works were tried for the first time yesterday, and this morning they were put to their full ca pacity, with little Buccesa in subduing the flamea on account of the scarcity of water. The hlllsldea were almost a solid sheet of flames. Hundreds of peo ple escaped with only their night' clothes. Every team within seven milea of the city was called into Bervice to help save what could be got out. There are prob ably about two thousand people who are homeleqp and many destitute. About 123 buildings and 00 or 00 dwelling houses were destroyed, and while it is utterly impossible to get any definite figures regarding the loss, well posted business men place it at from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. The fire is still burning, but its material is exhausted and there is no danger of its spreading unless there is an unfavorable change in the wind. Women 8wlndled. Mrs. Sarah Hall, a widow, has live d on her farm, near Greenville, Pa., for many years. Her only companion was a maiden sister. The sisters came from Wales, and have for years been prepar ing to return to that country. Three weeks ago a stranger stopped at their house and asked for a drink. He engag ed in conversation with the widow and her sister. Upon learning that they were of Welsh origin he gave his name as James Morgan, and said that he waa also Welsh. He had come to this coun try in search of a nephew. Being unable to find him, he waa making arrangements to go back to Wales, aa soon as possible. It was soon agreed that he should accompany them, and he volunteered to assist them in selling their property. Within a week there after he aold the produce on the farm, .the machinery, stock, &o., for $500 cash, and, being unable to find a purchaser for the farm, he leased it, taking the first payment of $100. On Saturday a week Morgan said he must go to Mercer to attend 'to some legal business in relation to the lease. He took Mrs. Hall's horse and carriage, which she was keeping until her departure, having a purchaser ready to take it at $200 when the day arrived. Morgan has not been heard from by the sisters since. A Thirty-Five Dollar Goat. On ThurBday of last week Harmon Detrich, a well-known butcher of Mid dleport, Schuylkill, county, gave his wife $35 in Philadelphia and Beading railroad scrip to put away for safe-keeping. Mrs. Detrich bo runa the story aa told by the Pottsville "Journal," put the scrip in an up-stalre closet, and went away without shutting the door. Short ly afterwards a pet goat which had the freedom of the house, wandered up stairs and made a meti off the scrip. Mrs. Detrich only arrived in time to Bee the last note disappearing into the goat'a mouth. Then there waa weeping and walling in the house of Detrich. When Harmon returned and learned the facta of the case, he killed the goat and made a careful post mortem examination of its internal arrangements'. The scrip wm found, but It had been m thor oughly masticated that it is valueless, and the Heading railroad la thirty-five dollars ahead. Queer Way to Kill Doge. An exchange aays; "Last week Charles BIgelow, of Flndly, O., had twenty. three sheep killed. On Wednesday mornlog the dogs made a raid on hla flock and killed forty more; but tlfls time the dogs were caught in the act by Mr. BIgelow, and he demolished two of them with great satisfaction and some pro fanity." Both of these things are strange things to kill dog with. How a Tramp Was Suited. A tramp got a ault of new clothes out of the Sidney, O., authorltiea In a very original way. He committed some slight ofTence, for which he was put in jail. Aa aoon aa he waa behind the bara he deliberately took off his clothes and cut every dud Into shreda including hla boots. Of course a new suit had to be purchased for htm so that he could appear for trlul, and he got one. Mr. Learn Takes a Lesson. Win. Learn, of Little Traverse, Mich., p ut the butt end of his gun barrel into a fire to loosen'the breech pin. A charge of powder in the gun loosened itself about that time and put a quantity of buckshot into Mr. Learn. This will probably learn him a lesson about fire arms. The youth who killed the girl he loved because she would not marry him turns up this time in Bucyrus, O. She went to a neighbors to elude him, but he followed her, and being refused for the third or fourth time, he shot her dead. Then he went and hanged him self. It is a pity he had not hanged himself first. SSTAta funeral at Delhi, N. Y., all the mourners were dressed in white, in obedience to the request of the dead man. He had abhorred black, as being expressive and significant of anything but a happy ending of this life, as well as lost hopes for the future. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. WAsmitoTQN, D. C.,Bept., 24 1679." Every report that comes from abroad gives a gloomy picture to the affairs of laboring and business men. From nearly every Bectlon of this country the reports are exactly opposite. Sec'y E warts, in addition to the geueral inquiries sent out from the State Department to consuls and other offloers aa to the wages of laboring men throughout the world, and to which so many interesting replies were received and published lately, has made a successful effort to gather information as to busiuess affairi abroad. The result of a oompa rison ot business abroad with buslnesa at home la very gratifying. ..,'. Gen'l Grant's reception la San Fraucisco has been simply magnificent. There are plenty of indications that be will meet .the same welcome wherever be may go. Peo ple will be wrong in giving a political com plexion to the cordiality of the people. The General may or may not have an official future, but certainly nothing baa occurred since hla arrival which seemed to be inspired by bis political admirers. ' There is activity about all the publio buildings of this, tbe peoples national .city. Tbe Departments are getting their several reports ready for the printer, the legislative and judicial buildings are being cleaned, repaired and altered, to make ready for Congress and the Courts, aud everything seems to be in a fair state of preparation for the coming. season, except tbe Index .to the Congressional Record for the extra session. Of course this produces a crop of allegation as to the reason and motives of the delay. It ia said by Rebubllcans that the index is kept back for the purpose of preventing the Reoord from being used in tbe current canvass aa freoly as it would be if the Index had been completed earlier. The matter ia not very important to the publio, but the swift charges against the manag ing men of the two parties are instructive as showing how ready polititians are to find fault with each other. When Congress assembles an effort will be made to extend our postal and commer cial faoiltiee by Gov't aid. A partial plan failed ' last year, through prejudice and misunderstanding, but tbe plan will be enlarged bo as to reach all interests and extend our communications to all foreign markets, in order to increase the demand for our products. South America is a rioh market for all our surplus, manufactured or natural, but tbe trouble is that England has such a monopoly that private enter prise cannot compete with it. The English merchants have bad tbe benefit of Govern ment aid, and ours cannot be expectod to succeed against auch odds unless some legislation is granted them. We buy largely in South America aud pay $38, 000,000 cash per year for ooffee alone, while wo do not sell oue sixth of that amount of all our goods. In faot, most of our goods have to be sold through British agents and carried by British ships, thus giving foreigners the largest part of profit accruing from our own labor and enter prise. This is an Injustice to our artisans and our capitalists alike and ought to be iVmedled. Omve.

Mr. Buckel, of East Sngluaw, has board ed a big watch dog several yoars, but the other night, when burglars took $300 or $000 worth of things from Mr. Bucket's house, all that dog did about it, was to move around so that the robbers would not step on him. Three weeks ago a son of Robert Gib son, In Fairfield, Grundy county, Iowa, was kicked on the side of the head by a horse.
