his character and forming principles of action which
subsequently regulated and controlled his intercourse with
his fellowmen Honesty of heart and nexibity of pur
pose blended with genial sociaty characterized the man.
Avoiding both from taste and principle all those unfortunate
fashionable Irregularities which but too often wreck the
young entered upon the responsibilities of manhood with
that prudence and with that pure morality which enabled
him. occupying the position that he did, to be useful in
cety blessing to those to whom he united by ties
these prospects, he is suddenly called to die mysterious

lie down IN death yet ne murmered not but when the an

vpknOwn Minerva Block, and the Third Presbyterian
Church. are among the buildings totally destroyed
The fire NAV be said to have fairly spent itself without
resistance for it burned until it reached walls which Of

Our celebration of the Atlantic Telegraph has been
an expensive to Rochester and has been attended by
a calamity long to be remembered. On Monday night
when the message was received the bells rung and
a Jubilee followed mpromptu. The french and clt-

greater in consequence. Last evening the formal cee
bration took place. in which all participated and soon
afepretiring the alarm of fire was sounded and the
dreadful confagration began. Again the firemen and
citizens lily prepared to meet it, and the fire did
its worst.
The fire originated soon after eleven o'clock in the
livery stable Of Heavey McAnally Minerva alley.
The flames quickly spread to the eastward northWard
and westward. The Third Presbyterian Church on
Main street speedily took and destroyed without
drop of water being thrown upon it. So was the brick
block the corner of Stone street. ownedby Mr. Butts
The fire could go farther east for want of material
but the hreesory brick block next to the church on
the west owned by John F. Bush, was already fire,
and was consumed The large block next, west of Mi

caught fire, but for time there hope that it
might be saved.
This hope was soon disspated but as it was separated
by brick wall from Minerva Block, it was thought the
latter might be saved Here, too all were disappointed
the fire fingered for awhile at the wall, but when it
passed. it rushed wildly to the work of devastation and
after laying this fine block in ruins it passed southwark
along st. Paul street. till it had destroyed some fifteen
stores.

The WAY of women

Few of our dry goods friends will fail to recognize thu
following familiar picture:
She stood beside the counter,
The day he'll ne 'er forget;
She thought the muslin dearer
Than any she'd seen yet;
He watched her playful fingers
The silks and satns toss
The clerks looked quite uneasy
And nodded at the boss.
SHOW velvet ribbon
Barege and satin turk
She said. /" I want to purchase"
Then gave the goods jerk
The clerk was all obedience,
He travelled q on his shape
At length with hesitation,
She bought yard of tape
