ager of this concern does not aim at fancy
prices in selling these articles. He pur-
chases them of the manufacturers and
publishers in large quantities, thereby
getting them very low, which enables
him to sell them at very low figure
and still make small proft-tAe aim of
all human labors But not only does he
sell them very low; lie throws in
rich present with every article
purchased. The goods sold at this
house are of the best quality,
and when required he gives afull guaran-

assortment. The goods are so various
in style and price as to accommodate the

bear in mind, who buy, present is Civ

with purchasers, and rich presents are
constantly being taken away by the peo-

GREAT FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
over 1000 Barrels of Oil Destroyed.
40 DWELLING HOUSES BURNED.
Men, Women aud Children Roasted Alive,
GREAT Loss OF LIFE,

PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 8.-The fire here this
morning originated in Backburn's shed for
storing refined oil. Two thousand barrels
were destroyed. 1t was insured mostly in
New York. Forty dwellings, mostly three
stories, were burned. The oil that escaped
from burning barrels poured into the 9th
street and down into Federal, filling the en-
tire street with lake of fire and igniting the
houses on both sides of 9th street for two
squares, and carrying devastation into Wash.
ington, Ellsworth and Federal streets. Both
above and below 9th street fully five squares
of houses had they been placed in row were
on fire at once. The scene was one to make
the sternest heart fail. Men, women and
children were literally roasted alive in the
streets. Captain Joseph II. Ware who occu+
pied dwelling in the vicinity Of the confag-
ration, with his wife, five daughters, and two
relatives, met wi tn a sad and unfortunate oc-
currence. They all succeeded in getting in~
to the street from the house, Just after they
left their beds, but amournfully to relate,
found themselves in river of fire. The fam
lily became scattered. Mrs. Ware had her
youngest child, beautiful little girl in her
arms, and was endeavoring TO save her. She
fell, when herself and little child, and
another daughter about Is years old, were
burned in the street, and their bodies were
so horribly mutilated that they can only be
identified by the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding them. Captain Ware and his two
sons escaped but three daughters are missing.
Six bodies in all have been recovered. Three
Of them have been recognized as belonging to
the Ware family. Another of the bodies
is supposed to be that of James Gibbons
There is also the body of a boy not yet re-
cognized, and that of fireman. 1t is thought
that there are several other persons who
perished, and that there are stiA bodies un-
der the ruins.

The Late Murder.

-NNN~
We learn that an officer charged with war
rant for the arrest of the murderer of Isaac
Sickler, found him in the custody of the Pro-
vost Marshal at Scranton, and on presenting
his warrant to said military .functonary and
requiring him to surrender tie offender up
to the civil authorities for trial and punish
ment; the Constable was cooly informed
that the prisoner was held in military custo,
dy, awaiting he orders of Mr.. Provost Mar
shal Gen. Fry; and the Constable. was cblg-
ei to return without his prisoner.
So it goes. When our citizens are delib-
erately shot down like dogs in the streets,
without the shadow of excuse, from mere
devilish wantonness, the "loyal" murderers,
may be captured, and tried if his High Nigh
tiness, the Provost Marshal General will
deign to consent to permit thelaw of the land
to have its cauase. Otherwise, rot.
We do not know whether the heartless
monster who perpetrated this most. cold
blooded and wanton murder is to be screened
from punishment by Mr.. Fry, and his. subor-
dlnates or not. As the murderer's victim was
only 1ohite man, it is pos sible that the
claims ofjustice will be ignored and defied
We understandsthat the associates, il not
accompliees, Of "BW Larkins" the murderer
are staggering about the streets of Scranson,
where they all reside, claiming to be entirely
blameless and free from censure in the mat:
ter. Their names, as we have learned them,
are, Provost Marshal, N. F. Palmer, A, God
frey and Brtton Irwin.
This qnartette of beauties, seeing their
victim fall, pierced through the heart by
shot, from one of their number, coolly drove
on and left him weltering in, and staining the
snow with his life blood-away from his
house and family with none present but
two mere children. one OF them his own son
Ii they are regarded in the community. where
they reside, as honorable, humane and chris
tan gentlemen. God save US from such a
community Men who are guilty of such
heartlesSness such wanton indifference to
human life aud who exhibit su ch a destitu.
tlon OF the common instincts of humanity
should henceforth be marked as Infamous
wretchcs, and however high they may claim
to stand in their own estima ton, they sho'd
be avoided by all right thinking, christian
men.

Thomas B, Jayne,

At the request numerous readers we To
day, publish an official order of Gen. Fost er.
IN reference to the conduct of certain officers
Of the SD Regt. in the late disastrous attack
on Ft. Johnston. While its publication is
due to Col, Hoyt and to his brave compan-
ions who were either killed wounded or ta
Ken prisoners we might have withheld
it from the public, had it not
been for the course pursued by Mr.. Jayne
and his friends in the matter. In the Repub
ltcdn, few weeks since, we saw published
what purported to be preamble and resolu
tIons, highly laudatory of Mr.. Jayne. No
reference was made to this order or to apy
order for his dismissal from the army, neither
OF which was then generally known. Indeed
it seemed to be an entirely un called for and
gratuitous beslavering with praise of man
whose bravery and "Loyalty" had not been
Impugned. This claim 10 "Loyalty," patriot.
ism and bravery, set up by Mr.. Jayne, it
seems under the circumstances TO be inbound
ed. Among those who are represented to
bdfC SAnibllcu TIE WDlL6 Ieatnef-DaVeu
the part of "peace sneaks"-to use Tommy's
own expressive term, we find first and fore-
most the name OF Thomas B. jayne Tomy's
grotwh was too rapid, to be natural or endu-
ring. We always feared he would experience
collapse. A few years of quiet secusion
from public life. aud official position, (shoul-
der straps, should be carefully kept out of
sight of the patient,) with continuous doses
of hoe-corn, dig-taters, Plow, and such like
mild remedies with an occasional sermon
from the "old man." on the evanescent, un-
substantial character of human greatness and
glory,will doubtless bring down this "Jonah's
gourd" Of man, to his proper dimensions !;
and securel him his proper place in the
great web and woof of human existence
The order referred to, we take from the
Palmetto Herald, published under the auspi.
ces Of the army, at Port Royal S, G. dated
Nov. 10 1864.
