EXTENSIVE CONFEDERATION IN ST.
JOSEPH.
Over $1,000 00 Worth Of Property De-
stroyed-- Men Injured, &C., &c.

From the ST. Joseph Union, Oct. 8.
About 8 o'clock last evening the alarm
bells sounded for FIRE, and hurrying out we
found that Penick & Loving's drug store,
on Second street, was on fire, it having
caught, so report says, from the explosion
of coil oil or naptha in the cellar, and was
soon mass of flames, which in few min
utes communicated itself TO II. B. Kechum's
wholesale queensware establishment, next
enveloping that building in flames of the
fiery monster. An immense crowd hurried
TO the scene OF the conhagraion, and as the
whole square seem doomed 10 destruction,
proceeded to remove the goods from the
various establishments, and orders were
issued to tear down n number OF frame
buildings SO as to prevent The spread of the
fire, while water was briskly thrown upon
others. As good luck would have it there
was no wind blowing, and the flames were
confined TO the two stores, which were large
brick buildings running back to The alley,
and it was only by the herculean efforts Of
a number OF citizens that the large livery
stable of DR.. Baltimore and the block adj
jacent were saved by hanging wet blankets
before the doors and windows.
AS the fire engine was useless, buckets
were brought into requisilion and used to
good effect, while many exerted themselves
manfully in tearing down The frame houses
between the burning stores and the EN-
pire. As far as we can learn the loss will
fall heaviest upon H. B. Ketchum and
Ponick & Loving, as both of their establish
ments had heavy stocks Of goods on hand.
BY the perseverance and active cXertions
of those present much was saved. The
buildings, we understand, were owned by
the parties who occupied them, and were
insured. As far as we could learn, the
losses will be as follows II. B. Ketchum,
loss about $4,000, nearly covered by in.
surance; Penick & Loving, $4,000, heav.
lily insured; H. S, SIMMONS, Jewelry; j.
w. Fraley, Timer and Copper Smith; M.
MCGEE, Sadder; Robinson & Rush, Dol
lar Store; Princess Saloon; Messrs. Eek
hard, Gun Store; Lutz & Co., Colorado
Bakery; l.. w. Wenz, Shoe Store; ]. w.
Horr s. Co., Grocers; C. Kessler, Variety
Store, and Isaac Edwards Jeweller, will all
lose considerable by the removal of good,
all of whom we presume are covered by
insurance.
During the excitement O number Of per
sons were injured, among them the por
ter OF Peuick & Lovings, who was badly
burned; Dan O'ToOle, one of the member
of the firm, had his hand very badly
cut; William Lilly was struck by DO,
and his thigh mashed, and several other
severely injured, one having his leg broke
another his arm, while the smoke in thu
Drug store was so dense as to cause sew
eral persons to faint, aud they had 10 b
carried out of the building.

Terrible Trag dy in Randolph County
Ill-Forty Persons Poisoned.

We hear of an awful tragedy that trans
pired last week in the town of Shiloh,
Randolph. county, Ill. 1t appears that two
physicians, Drs. Campbell and Minner, Of
that place, recently sent to the drug store
of A. A. Anderson, in Chester, for q
quantity oil calomel. In one day, the medi-
cine was administered to forty patients
when it was discovered that with the cal.
omel there was mixed corrosive sublimate
a violent poison, All OF the patients were
taken with alarming symptoms, and in the
cases Of seven OF them the result had proved
fatal at the date of our adviccs, and it was
feared that the others would not survive
Among those whose death ensued were a
family named MelIinger, consisting of man
wife and child. A sister Of DR.. Campbell
an intelligent and interesting young lady.
died i'll few hours after having taken the
dose prescribed by her brother.
The calomel containing the poison was
put up in the ordinary way, aud had no.
been tempered with after leaving the store
of Wholesale druggist in. St. Louis, by
whom it was imported from England. The
presence of corrosive subimate was prob.
ably due to oulpable carelessness, rather
than design, at the laboratory Of the manu-.
tao,urer, If this hypothesis is correct, il
is terrifying to think of the possible conso.
quences in other parts Of the county,

FIDELITY.

After the execution of Sabinius, the
Roman general, who suffered death for his
attachment to the family Of Germanicus,
his body was exposed upon the preclpice
Of The Germone, as warning 10 all who
should dare TO befriend the house Of Ger
mnnicus. No friend had courage 10 APP
proach the body; one friend only remained
true--hs faithful dog. For three days the
faithful animal continued 10 watch the body.
His pathetic howlings awakened the sym
pathy Of every heart. Food was brought
him, and he was kindly encouraged TO eat /;
but on taking the bread, instead Of obsying
the impulse of hunger, he fondly laid it on
his masters mouth, and renewed his la
mentations, but did not quit the body. The
corpse was at length thrown INTO the Tiber,
and the generous creature leaped into the
water after it, and clasped it between his
paws, vainly endeavoring to prevent it from
sinking.

Afe destroyer, could change the rationale
of its effects.
Liquor is the only thing that God ever
made-no, God necer made il, for it can
not be found in anything living or organ

condition. Alcohol is the only thing
that Diabotis ever fabricated, which ply
sicians have ever supposed to have such
contradictory relations to that crowning
work of the Divine Architect, the being
created little lower than the angels.
Having said this much about liquor as
medicine, | would argue whether useful
as amedicine or not, (the former never can
admit, for my mind is as clear on this point,
as the MONDAY sun. As beverage it is a
nasty, debasing vice, and demands the
execration of every lover of his race. 1t
is practice that the very beasts disre-

Gods universe, that will get drunk and
not be ashamed Of it and he seems to
delight in it.
What farmer would tolerate a drunken
beast, or even moderate drinking ami

to have drunken men, drunken women
and childreu, without having the beasts
that perish, drink. 1t is said of apes and
monkeys, hogs aud dogs, that, if through
some indiscretion, they would become
drunk after the manner of men, they
never showed any disposition to repeat
the experiment; but man, the higher an

For long time he would not appear
