NEWARK, OBIo, June % 1913,
hasten to inform you that the rePose OF our
cuiet town was broken this morning BY the M
usual and unwelcome cry OF Fire" Our clt!-
zens turned out with great alaerity, and much
sensation was caused from the fact, that the
flames proceeded from the extensive four story
BRICK building in the centre Of the town, known
as Pql.sGde Ro,c, beng at once the most costly
structure and the greatest ornament of the place.
For half IN hour fears were entertained that the
whole r0u must fall before the devouring clement
but owing TO the laudabe exertions of the only
cngine company in the place, and the citizens
generally, who acted with great spirit and perse-
verance. Notwithstanding the rain poured down
in torrents most OF the tne,) the fire was got un-
der way after having destroyed the north end OF
the building, which was occupied by stores, law
Offices, &c The damage is roughly estimated at
from $1,000 to S50G0 B. B. TAILOR, Esquire,
the present Loco Foco candidate for Congress
from this District, has lost the whole of his va
luabc law library, which constituted his principal
stock in trade. Much commisseraton is felt for
him on account of his many commendable quail
ties as a man. Yours, in haste, J. c.
METEOROLOGICAL correspondent, writing from
Newark, informs Us that the method of curing
this dreadful disease, which we published a few
davs since. was published in our papers about fif-
teen wears ago as beng practced among some OF
our Western Indians. 1t was stated in one of
our Western papers that, as a number OF people
were returning from the est-heds, several Of
them were bitten by mad fox. They were all
put in one house, the physician OF the village and
an Indian doctor were sent for. Five Of them
were taken under his care by the Indian, and two
children by the regular physician, who exactcd
promise from the Indian that nothing should be
done by him in the absence Of the other. They
both met at the house daily, at which time the
Indian was observed to examine the mouths Of
his patients. and at last to open small pustules
under their tongues with long instrument SINH
lar to darning. What kind of a wash
was used is not recolIected, or any of the other
particulars, farther than that all his patients got
well. and both of the physicians died.
