Fire in RitchietoNyn.

Fire in RitchietowH.
There was an alarm of fire yesterday
at about half-past twelve o'clock. For
the first time in "long length of Pc
RODS" there was a foundation for the
alarm. A fire broke out IL the stable Of
Mr.. Henry Hahn, who lives on Fourth
street, South Wheeling. The stable of
Mr.. Hahn was entirely consumed, as was
also. stable adjoining, belonging to
Mr.. Charles Seek. The house of Mr..
John L. Hobbs, Fourth street, about one
square above the Chase of conf agra
tion," took fire from sparks, but was
soon xtinguished. The steam fire en-
CINE was on hand, but was of no earthly
account because she had not hose
eaough to make connection to the
river.
1t was very fortunate that the fire oc-
Cured when it did. Men were at
their dinners, and at the tap of the bell,
all caught their buckets and ran to the
fire. Every we'll in the vicinity was, in
a short space of time, most effectually
"dried up" after which the water was
carried from the river in buckets. Lines
were formed, and the buckets passed
from one to the other, until they reached
their destination. 1t was very fortu-
nate that wind was not stirring; for
had stiff breeze been blowing, half of
Ritchietown would have been lain in
ashes. One hog, belonging to Mr.. Seek,
which was in his stable, was burned so
completely that "grease spot" mark
eth not the place where he lay!
This fire will, we hope, prove profit
BILE lesson. In Ritchietown there is moth
ing to prevent the spread of fire, nor
nothing to quench what confagration
may occur, except bucketful of water
and that must be brought from the
river.
The engine at the glass house of
Hobbs, Barnes & Co., in Ritchietown,
was on hand, and supplied itself with
water from a pond in the vicinity, but
the engine soon became unavailing, as
the suction" Immediately filed up
with mud.

The state sabbath School Conven.
ton.
In accordance with an announcement
made yesterday morning, a meeting
of the friends of Sabbath Schools was
held last evening at the rooms of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
The report of the committee, fixing
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Novem-
Der LIST, I'd and Sd, as the time for hold
ing the State Sabbath School Conven-
tion in this city, was unanimously
adopted, and a committee of one from
each denomination was appointed to
make all necessary arrangements. The
committee was instructed to endeavor
to induce DR.. Vincent, of the NJ. E..
Church, to postpone his contemplated
visit to this city until the time fixed
for holding the Convention. The meet
ing last night was largely attended,
and the best of feeling prevailed.
We learn that the committee will at
an early day issue the call converting
the Convention, and inviting delegates
to come up from every town, village,
city and county in the State. We are
sanguine of the success of the enter
prise, and are confident it will be more
glorious gathering than was the Ohio
County Sabbath School Convention last
year. This will be the first State
Sabbath School Convention ever
held in this State, and as Wheeling
has been honored with it, we hope the
friends of the cause will vie with each
other in their efforts to make the affair
success. We know the delegates who
may come up from the interior of the
State will be greeted warmly and en-
tertained with the usual hospitality ex-
tended by the good people of Wheeling.

self.Mensuring Can.

selEHIensuring Can. .gH
We witnessed, on yesterday, the
practical operation of this ingenious in
vention. 1t is the original production
of Messrs. Ankle & Greer, in Bridgeport,
Ohio. 1t consists of large can, hold
ing some forty gallons or more, and SO
arranged that the upper portion (about
three-fourtbs) holds the liquid, and the
lower portion contains the machinery
for measuring. In front of the 10 yer
portion of the can is sliding guage
which is regulated by faucet which
allows the liquid to pass from the up
per to the lower portion of the can, and
which liquid causes the finger of
the gauge to move upwards-thus in
dicating the amount to be measured.
This finger psn he stopped at any point
desired-whether by the quart or gal
lon.
We witnessed several trials and in
each case the quantity was exact. One
very economical feature of this opera
ton is that it does not require any fun
mel to draw any liquid in jug or can,
and every drop that may escape from
the can is conducted back into the lower
portion and is pumped back into the
upper portion of the same. Take it all
in all We consider it an ingenious and
labor-saving machine AID recommend
it to all who may be engaged in the
sale of any or all kinds Of liquids.

A poison of any conceivable descrip-

been swallowed Intentionally or by ac-
cident, may be rendered almost instan-

gills of sweet oil. An individual with
a very strong constitution should take
twice the quantity. This oil will neu-

Whether the Sporting Times is lewd
