dreadful calamity i'll that city:

houls of twelve aid one O'Clock, q ire
broke out in the cabinet manufactory OF
Mr.. Prange, situated upon the block OF
ground between Tenth and Broadway,
and Augelrodt and Mallihkrodt streets.
This fire was attended with a fearful loss
of human life, 10 less than seven men
having .rished. There were three bdild-
ines. one used as a machine shop and
general repository Of articles intended
for manufacturing, another for finishing
and the third as a boarding
house where most Of the employees eat
and lodged. 10 certain clue is known
as to the origin of the fire, but 1t Is sup,
posed to have originated in the second
story of the boarding house, which was
in close contact with the other buildings,
a space of only a few feet Intervening
between them. The unfortunate mel
who persisted slept in the boarding
house building, in the second story, the
access to which was by a pair Of stairs
upon the outside or north n OF the
building, which was o in flames 'ano

retreat cut off, they went into the at
tic story Of the building, where they
were suffocated by the smoke, and, in
the wild and dreadful circumstances that
surrounded them, clinging to each other,
all persisted. DULY one body was taken
from the wreck yesterday afternoon, and
that was a crispy, charred mass, with
burnt and mangled bones p~rotruding,
that Mortified the sight. Other portions
of skeletons and cooked pieces Of human
flesh were thrown up by the workmen in
the few minutes we were present, that
were sickening to behold.
The brick walls of the house that the
poor men were confined in tumbled in
and crushed them in the ruins. From
the best information we could gather,
there we're ten employees sleeping in the
building, and the seven who ware burned
were named John Mueller, VIM. Giese-
ker. Hermann ObenLaus, Hermann AL
bert, Henry Remment and two brothers
by the name of Henelman.
Three of the parties escaped; one,
whose name we did not learn, through
the door and flames while the steps were
still on fire; and another by the name
OF Henry Relman, passed through a
trap-door in the attick story, where his
companions we're, but were SO confused
and suffocated by the smoke that they
were unable to follow him, and went
down with the building; he, however.
made his escape. Another man by the
name of Henry ToPpleton, managed to
get to a window at the north end of the
hnildino thronch which he nIun oed and
fell upon a rail fence, which dislocated
one of his limbs and injured him in
other ways quite severely.
Since writing the above, we under
stand that the mangled remains of four
dead bodies have been taken out of the
ruins, aud that the workmen were still
engaged, assisted by the efficient efforts
of the citizens in the neighborhood and
the Mound Fire Company, who had their
apparatus uron the ground.

Editor Ashland Union : SIR :

Editor Ashland Union {: SIR AS you
appear to be laboring with c~ommendable zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and pc
cuniary welfareS. permit US to call Their atten
ton to the fact that we have Just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
nv one who will favor us with a call will find 1t
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles OF
every style, variety and quality of Ladies'
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear.
together with Il large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Queensware, Groceries, DC.
Having changed our mode of doing business,
it will be proper for US to state, for the salts
faction CT our old customers, briefly, our rea
sons for so doing. Our first great object is tc
sell goods CHEAP. To do this we must have the
money TO buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid The losses of bad debts and q long wind
ed customers we wish TO save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
2 doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do lst, because we shall have the monrp
10 buy our goods, which will save us 10 per
cent, 2nd, because we shall save the expense
cf one Clerk Sd, we will save s per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered, we
thinkit safe to say that it will make {: differ-
ence of at least ID rrr cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves Of the advantages of this sys-
TEN. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods. of course care but little about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap forrea-
dy pay can find a stock Of goods which for va
riety, styles and low pricas,shas mover been
cqualcd in the County,, BY calling IN their
friends and wcll-wishers,
