ANOTHER CONF1AGRAT1oN,
) Properly Destroyed to Amount Of $3.50, 900.

A 1t half past five o'clock yesterday morning,
Ere was discovered in the lower story Of the
Steam Carpentery and Flooring Mills of
Messrs. Hinkle & Guild, on Front street,
West of Smith. The alarm was Immediately
given, and the Fire Department arrived on the
ground with their usual promptness, but the
building being filled from cellar to roof with
material it was impossible to save
anything. Messrs. Hinkle & Guild had on
hand an immense amount of work, great
portion Of which were orders from abroad:
among them was an order for DR.. E. i. Lob
DELI of Louisiana for flooring and other build
ing material, to the amount of one thousand
dollars. The building was five stories high,
and was by far the largest of the kind in the
city, Itcontained great quantity of valuable
machinery, which together with the building
and stock, is entirely destroyed. Mr.. Guild
informs our reporter that the loss will not fall
short of one hundred thousand dollars, and
that the firm had not single dollar of insur-
ance.
Messrs. H. & g., in addition to their Floor
ing Mills, were largely engaged in the manu-
featuring of Ice Chests, Packing Boxes, and
Portable Frame Houses. The fourth story Of
their establishment was occupied as a work
shop by Mr.. S. j. John, Cabinet Maker on
Fourth street, between Main and Sycamore.
He lost lot of unfinished furniture amount
ing in value to twenty thousand dollars. This
is the second time within two years that Mr.,
John has suffered largely from fire. Adjoin.
ing Messrs. II. & G.'s Mills, were the Black
smithing and Pattern Making shop of Bird
Holibird & Co., and frame dwelling owned
by Mr.. j. Smith, which were also destroyed
Messrs B. H. & Co.'s loss is about $500, and
Mr.. Smiths about $500. No insurance OF
either. @ sslaa tx
Various speculations exist in regard to the
origin of the fire. Some think that it was occa
stoned from the Journals" having become heat-
ed, and others that it is the work Of an incen
diary. The engines, at noon yesterday. were
istill at work, and the firemen were engaged ir
pulling down that portion of the walls which
remained standing. The Waterman in the
employ of the firm, had left the Mills but :
few minutes before the fire was discovered.

Mufder---Horrible Details.

On Monday; the 9th inst, notorious char
acter, Hugh Corrigan, was committed to the
Pittsburgh jail, on charge of having murdered
his wife, in Derry township, Allegheny coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, and burning her body to con-
ceal his crime. r,5
The Greengburg Argus says that Corrigan
has had two wives, sometimes both living with
him, and sometimes only one In his drunken
fits he would frequently drive them both away.
At the May Quarter Sessions the missing wife
had him indicted for assault and battery with
intent to kill. The cause was continued at
his instance until the August TERM when the
prosecutrix failing to appear, her recognizance
was forfeited.
In the meantime they were living together,
at times, as man and wife, The last seen of
this woman was ON Saturday evening, the
Both of Sebtember. In the early part of last
week large fire was observed in stone
quarry in the corner of field, about forty
rods from his dwelling-house and the air be-
ing filled with strong odor, it was supposed
by the neighbors to proceed from some dead
beast that, as they thought, he was burning
|Corrigan was frequently observed to be stirring
up the fire, and supplying it with wood of too
good a quality to be consumed without somo
object. Some of the neighbors passing his
burning, that filled the air with such strong
smell. He got angry, and told them it was
none of business, and ordered them off his
land, or he would prosecute them for trespass
They left. On Thursday morning neighbor
went to the woods with his gun, and attracted
by the smell proceeding from the fire as he was
passing took pole and commenced separat-
ing the wood. While doing so he threw out a
human skull entire---eye-sockets, nose, mouth,
jaw and teeth. He took the skull to neigh
boring house, and on exhibiting it, the lady
of the house exclaimed, "My God! that is Mary
Corrigan's faces' Assistance was procured,
and on further examination great many hui
man bones, considerably charred, were found
in the fire. The accused was then arrested.
IS. Several years ago, former wife of Corrigan,
as we learn, mysteriously disappeared. He
gave out that she had run off and taken all his
money with her. He afterward said that she
had gone back to the old country; and subse-
quently, that he had got word of her death.
This wife had some children TO him-at one
time twins, both girls. When they We're
several years old, the mother was absent for
some days and on her return he told her one
of the twins had sickened and died, and was
buried in the gardena0z ov&aa

The state Election.

We have not taken the trouble to publish
the election returns from many counties in
this State for the simple reason that but few
ifany persons take an interest in knowing how
the different counties have been voting to fill
petty Offices involving no principle and de-
termining no principle. The Democrats were
as thoroughly organized as though National
principles were to be settled, and men were to
be elected to settle those principles Willard
and other leaders had been travelling over the
State preaching organization in every county
while the county and township little big
men responded, at once pronounced the coun-
try in great danger, grew crazy on the subject
Of Know Nothingism, and went hard to work
getting more offices. The opposition re-
manned almost perfectly quiet, holding back
their energies for the great fight of 1856, and
seeing nothing in these county elections upon
which to draw farmers and mechanics and
working men of all kinds from their labor, to
throw them into whirl of politics. They
saw and felt there were no great principles in
volved in this election, so the great mass Of
them remained at home, just as they did in
this county. FED 4
Democracy has nothing to crow over in hay-
ing been victorious in the majority of these
little county elections. The Americans and
Republicans showed them last Fall, they had
majority Of $1,000 to call out whenever the
occasion might demand. Next year will Offer
that occasion. and we promise this foul and
corrupt Old Line Democracy, that in a battle
Of principles, they will be made to feel The
peoples condemnation just as strongly as they
did last year. Probably not much more thar

Great Peach Crop.

The, Ohio State Journal notices the peach
crop Of Mr.. Loughry, whose farm is on the Ohio
river IN Adams county. Ten years ago he
set out eleven acres of the choicest varieties
of thespeach, the orchard being on the top of
a. high hill, overlooking the river. The. Jour
nal says: ss-
We learn from him that his eleven acres of
peaches this year will bring him the substan-
tial sum five thousand dollars, or nearly five
hundred dollars per acre. At the present
time, whenthe ordinary peaches are selling for
twenty five cents and upwards in Cincinnati
his peaches readily bring two dollars per
bushel. The present season has been very
prolific and his peaches have been exceeding
ly fine and large. - 44A
| Mr.. Loughry stated to us the manner he
treated his fruit When the peaches had ar
rived at the size of hickory nut he employ
ed alarge force, and put in one hundred and
eighty-fve days work in picking off the excess
of fruit Probably more than three-fourths OF
! the fruit then on the trees was carefully re-
moved. Each limb was taken by the hand,
and where within space of eighteen inches
there would be twenty five peaches, but five
of the fairest enes would be left to r;pen. By
carefully removing all but the choicest speci-
mems, and throwing all Of the vigor of the
trees into them, the peaches have ripened
early, and are remarkable for size and excel
lent quality. @E 1919
Mr.. Loughry says his trees are now full Of
vigor. He keeps them trimmed in; and annu-
ally removes about one-half of the wood that
lis formed. He uses compost, and omits no.
thing to bringing them to perfection. His net
profit from these eleven acres this year will be
3 between three and four thousand dollars
He is about extending his grounds, and will
put out fifteen acres in peaches and quantity
lin pears, apples, &c. His example in the fruit
line is worthy the imitation of others. These
peaches are sent by steamboat ito Cincinnati
and from that point are sent by railroad te
cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit and other place.

FEMALE EQuEsTRIANs AT THE New YORK
FAIR.-Fourteen ladies entered the ring
Two ladies, Mrs. Conover and Mrs. Childs,
made the first trial, and started like ladies, but
came out like jockeys, The reporter of the
N, Y. Times says:
Before they had completed their first round,
both horses were at their topmost speed, and
the ladies plying their whips as energetically
as regular jockeys. They passed the entrance
to the Judges stand neck and neck, both
horses we'll down to their work, both riders
lashing their horses Sides and spectators cheer

Conoyer, about half length ahead as they
turned upon the home stretch. Mr. Childs
lay back, and gained the inside, when urging
Der horse to greater speed, she crept slowly
up to Mrs. Conover, and they passed the en-
trance the second time nose and nose. The
excitement was now as great as ever Fashion
and Peytona created on the Union Course
The corder was that they should ride twice
around the course, and then come in. Col
Hathaway called out to them to come to the
stand as they passed the entrance; but their
blood was up. and away they dashed for an
other round Even bets were now offered on
Mrs. Childs, with some takers; but before they
reached their first turn, her horse broke, and
Mrs. Conoyer again took the lead and keptit
home. As they entered the stand the specta-
tors took off their hats and gave them three
cheers. sA1A TN Is VIA

Importance to Farmers


The Monitour, the official paper of France
announces that there is a partial failure of crops
in that country, and that it will be necessary
to import an immense amount of breadstuffs:
that all eyes are turned upon America, and
that we are to have for another Year a free
corn trade with France. The London Times
says that in France and most of the countries
of Southern and Central Europe the late har-
vest has been far below the average. The
harvest has also been short in the North of
Europe, and the productive. grain regions of
the South East are shut up by the war
America, therefore, is the only resource. We
quote from the Tines as follows:
But the American harvest has been splen-
did; an unusual great breadth of land has
been under wheat this year, and the crops
have been successfully got in The available
surplus of wheat is estimated at about 5000
O00quarters from the United States and Can
ada-a quantity which is more than sufficient
to cover twice the alleged deficiency in France.
OF this quantity it is stated that about half
will be shipped for Europe between the LIST of
September and LIST of May; and we have rea-
son to believe that very large orders have
already been Transmitted to the other side OF
the Atlantic for the French market. g4sssssse
