PuFEING.

We have been considerably amused al
he statements made by writer's from die
Jance who have visited the new iron works
IN this place, wnhin a lew weeks past. 1t
seems as if they have attempted to out vie
each other in telling the greatest sio.y, and
keeping as far from the truth as possible,
,nd rendering themselves ridiculous, by
'howing their ignorance Of what actually
belongs to furnace establishment, or tc
'ay the least, by their embe lishments A
case in point, our attention was called lc
IN article in the last Muncy Lnminary, ir
which the editor speaks of there being oyel
: thousand 10 as Of castings used in ,ht
erection of the Bloomsburg Furnaces,
when there mas no. been 10 exceed on,
hundred and fifty tons, used in all lhei
pipes, flinders; wheels; &c. The company
our any member Of the Company, do no
require any exreneous putting, 10 bring
their works into notice. They are satisfied
in having them puff themselves, which
they will shortly do, as they are to be pu
in blast, in very few days, and If orr
brother chips from abroad, will only keel
cool until then, we will give them correc
description Of the premises, and such ;
one as neither the able manager, Col. Pax

having 60 abroad, ard scanned by the busi-
ness men Of the country.

GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.

New York has fallen again, we regre, TO
say, into the line of grea, connagrauons.
Within few years the catalogue of terrific
burnings oE our side of the Atlantic has in
cluded New York, Phiadelphia, Noble,
Wilmington. Fiusburg and Quebec-and
now The name OF New York is added 10 the
list for the second time.
A fire broke ou, between three and four
O'Clock on Saturday morning last, in New
street-a narrow passage between Broad
street and Broadway, extending from Wall
street TO Besver-and spreading with fear
ful iapidity among the densely built edifces
Of that neighborhood, and was not exln-
guished until abou, one O'Clock in the at-
iernooo, destroying upwards of 200 build
|ings. Estimated loss in buildings and
merchandise, six millions, sbou. four mil
lions ale covered by insurance.
The following is the estimate made Of the
whole number Of buidings destroyed by
lthe fire.

THE NEW YORK FIRE.

The terrible fire in New York on Sat
urdsy morning, Of which full parlcu
lars will be found in another colu mn, has
produced much sympathy aud concern
10 this city. The calamity, though no'
so extensive as the great fire Of 1888, Is
s,IIl severe one, and the losses OF prop
erly great. The number Of houses de-
slroyed is about three huod, ed; The loss
IS estimated al about five millions Of dol.
lars. The people o! that CITY are pos,
sessed of two elements of character, en-.
|ergy aud perseverance, which rise su.
peror to every affection and enable them
10 recover from disasters which would
nope lessly PROSTATE many other cities
With this spirit in operation, joined to
he active sympathy OF sisters cities,
New York VIII soon be placed IN "a
good condition as ever
Every year is distinguished by some
|pecullarlty, some inclden, which marks
it as al epoch The year lS45 wall be
known as The year OF great iires. There
never was a period OF single year
which has been mail ksd On this side OF
the Atlantic by SO many fires Of dis
as,rous character, sometimes DESTROYING
he best part OF large and popnlous CT
ties. They commenced W April las,
with The great fire in Pltlsbnrg, which
DESTROYED 1900 houses, and have spread
10 Quebec on The Nerlh, destroying TWO
thirds of that city, to Matanzls and Bar
bsdoes in The West Indies, and leaving
traces of its desu ucliye course at varl

PROPOSALS FOR ISSUING
The North Carolina Standard,
sEMI-wEEKLY


FLNHE undersigned proposes to publish the North
L Carolina Standard after the FIRST of February,
lS46, twice week. Many Democrats, in various
aartets of the State, desire this, ami it is believed
it can be done, if exertons arc made in its behalf
among the democratic party generally. The inn
portance of such an issue is, it seems TO the under
signed, too apparent to require arguments in its
favor. A scmi-wc.,kly paper ought surely TO be
sustained by the great democratic party Of the
State, "a party which casts 40 600 votes espc-
cially as the Federasts have fsro Semi-weeklies,
in addition to t,co papers to our in the State.
Think Of this, democrats, and of the influence
which such publications must inevitably exert
upon the public mind.
/. The Weekly Standard will be published as here
tofore, and, the undersigned fatters himself will
be much more interesting and valuable than il l.
at present. 1t will contain at least eight columns
more of reading matter than it does no,c.
+ TERNs-The semi-weeky Standard will be
published at Four Dollars, it paid within the first
three months, or Five Dollars, if payment he delay.
ell beyond that period and the weekly STANDARD
at Three Dollars per anEum. payable 10 advance.
Both the Weekly and semi-Weekiy will be
printed at the present size. on fine paper ard with
new type. Subscriptions to both papers are mos'
respectfully and earnestly solicited; and suhscri-
bers to the present paper. who are willing to take
the semi Weekly instead of the Weekly. Will please
infoEm the undersigned Of the fact, by letter Oh
otherwise. on or before the eth Of January. 1916
