"I THANK YOU sIR!'-tlow very. agreeable are
these words when addressed 10 an individual
who has deserved them. How cheering to the
spirits How friendly to the feelings Of a gen.
erous heart! There is a pleasure at all times
in rendering piece Of service-and whep we
receive in return, an expression: or even a look
of ,h:akfulness, it is cheering to the soul. /
recollect TO have heard ola poor cabinet-maker,
who was thanked, yes, virtually thanked, out Of
beautiful mahogany table. He had taken it
to the Parson--( and who could. he so we'll quail
fled to return Monks.) The table was admired
i, was praised-the workmanship extolIed.
Che parson thanked him-he thanked him
kindly -the lady thanked. him-the daughter
thanked him-and they all thanked him; and
when the cabinet-maker was afterwards inter
rogated by his wife as to the price he got for
his table-"O, my DEAR" said he,"I could not
charge the parson any thing for it--he thanked
me so kindly-and his lady-and his daughter
they all-they thanked me SO kindly-that'
-I-really could not charge them any thing
for the table "
How often does poor editor have cause to
envy the cabinet maker. Plenty ofta6es to make
blu no pav and no thanks. Tim TUisf steps up
with vas, importance-"Mr. Editor, will you be
so good as to give notice in your next paper
tha, certain town officers will be elected on

he looked for happiness only at home; there he
expected supply for all his wants, and he was
of course not disposed to spend any thing abroad
in pursuit of what he thought every reasonable
man ought 10 look for in the bosom OF bis own

YET ANOTHER FIRE

PETERSBURG, July 2l.-Our unfortunate Bo-
rough would 10 be devoted 10 desrrrction
In our last Tuesdays paper, we gave our readers
| an account OF a conflagration which commenced
IN rear OF Sycamore Street just 4 large portion
OF our Citizens were about TO engage in the fune
raj services and ceremonies appointed TO be per
formed at Blanford Church, in respect and honor
of the memory OF The departed worthless, jefferson
and fdGps, by which about twenty buildings were
destroyed and now we have 10 perform the I'M
pleasant task OF announcing another similar &C
currence, by which a still greater loss of property
has been sustained. On Tuesday morning, about
half past O'Clock, fire broke out in arrange of
Wooden Buildings opposite West-Il Ware
house on Walnut Street, generally known by the
name of .4HiSon'S Ro,D. These Houses were
erected Immediately after the great fire of 1915.
were putup in haste for the accommodation of the
sufferers by that memorable calamity, and Ina wing
been built Of ccIabustble materials, a, the time in
a very dry state, the flames spread both North and
South with extraordinary velocity In less than
an hour, notwithstanding every effort was made to
suppress the fue, the whole range was reduced to
ashes and at the one extremity communicating 10
the elegant Mansion belonging 10 the estate OF
NJ. AIaben. dec. Occupied by Mr.. Be- j. Jones, !
that beautiful building shared the fate of lis
more huBI lie neighbors. In the other direction the
houses OF Mrs. Mary Pbepoe caught in rapid sue
cession ; then Mr.. p. Lyrch's Livery Stable
and continuing south along Valfcr's Rolo, every
