THE MAN PoTATo.-A curiosity. in the
sweet potato line, is now in possession of Capt.
William Laski, of the Prince George Restau-

the perfect shape of man, with the exception
of developed features, though the crown
proportioned head, compared with the body.
The legs and arms are distinctly connected,
and If dressed in a suit Of linen, the potato

FYre On Uffiinmsporf.

A few minutes before II o'clock on
Saturday night, three persons discoy-
cred fame in the barn Of Mr.. Bar
rett, and, as soon as possible, made an
effort to quench il, but failed The
cry Of fire was raised, and promptly
responded 70 by fremen and citizens.
Owing, however, 10 the want Of water,
the flames rapidly spread from one
structure TO another, until no less than
six barns aud the Mulberry street
NJ. Z. Church became food for the de-
vouring element
The barns were mostly filed with
49, -nn grnIn, invnrrinfr runSitirr aiiss
loss beyond the frame work. Mr..
Barrett lost q horse. The church
might have been saved IL proper
supply Of water could have reached it
as il was, however, the gallant FIRE
men could only witnessits destruction.
From window to roof, from roof to
steeple, il spread with frightfll speed,
enveloping the noble edi6ce in a
bright sheet, which gave light far and
near. The bell tolled a solemn funeral
chant, until the heat drove tho men
from the rope. 1t was a grand and
imposing sight, causing one almost to
forget the sad results il cost.
The upholstery, chairs, etc, were
all saved by interested friends, and a
sympathizing community. The cost
Of the church was upwards Of go, 900,
and the loss, including the inconye-
nience, is all Of thatamount. The sta.
bles belonged to Ex-G Governor Packer,
Mr., Barrett, Mr.. Schneider, George
Rothrick, J. J. Ayres and Mr.. Weisel.
We would judge that the loss in
each barn would average 81 600. They
were all Of wooden make. This was,
undoubtedly, the work of an inccn-
diary. Theinsurance upon the church
is $4,000; the other buildings were
partly insured. We can safely place
the loss at s25, 25,O0O.-Lycominq Ga.

A Sound Democrat.

The people in the 18th Congress

ties of Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon

great unanimity, presented Col. John

Linton was the Democratic nominee
for Surveyor General three years ago,
and has since served two years in the
Legislature from Cambria county.
He is great favorite with "the boys
in blue" and Will no doubt be elected
over d. J. Morrell, the present iGoyal"
