WoRTH ATTENTION We remind all our readers
that they will consult their own profit as well as
pleasure, by providing themselves now with that
most excellent interesting and valuable Jounnal
called the american AgricuHurist- though not ex-
clusvely an agricultural journal, as it has been
enlarged to embrace the Garden, and especially
Household labors and cares and the wants and
interests of children and youth. 1t is as valuable
for the residents of Cities and Villages, as fol-
country people. No other journal for the same
money gives SO large amount of really useful, re-
liable. practical information. The paper is liter
ally full of good things carefully prepared by III
tclligcnt, thoroughly practical men. The hun
dreds of beautiful engravings, given in each vol
umn, are pleasing and interesting in high de-
gree, and are alone worth many times the sub
scription price, which is placed very low on ae-
count of the immense circulation that enables the
publisher to give great deal for a little money
The 4Agricugtu7ist is not new enterprise, OF I'M
certain value and PROMISE but is just entering up
en- its 18th annual volume, with long established
useful character We advise every one OF our
readers to begin now with the new .yolume ana
try the paper for a year 1t will pay and pay we'll
The cost is only ST. so a year, or four copies fol
SIS, 00-whch is less than the expense of an egg
or two, or of poor cigar per week." The pub
fishers are Orange Judd Co., 245 Broadway,
New York When desired, a postpaid specimeh
copy can doubtless be obtained by sending 10 Oh
Is cents to the publishers. We have before us the
last number and find italone worth whole year 5

Some weeks since an article went the rounds of
the press declaring that Helmbold, the Prince OF
Druggists was insane. This base fabrica
ton, intended to injure DR. Helmbold and bust
ness We have been in direct communication with
this gentlemen, on matters of business during
the past week, and we take this occasion to nail
the base coin to the counter. If DR.. II L. Helm
bold is insane we would like to be afflicted with
the same kind of insanity. No, there's not
word of truth in the whole base statement.
Dr. Helmhold is now occupying his new es'ah-
lishment, 594 Broadway, New York, which the
N. Y. San says 'is. beyond question, the hnes'
and most attractive establishment of the KIND IN
New York. z It is palace such only as sane
man. like DR.. Helmbold, who by invlnclhle en-

derstanding Of how to make his business known

could afford to build and evidences an increase OF
his already well merited prosperity

DAMAGING FIRE-About half past o'oclock,
ON Tuesday morning last the alarm OF fire aroused
our entire community. 1t originated in the Cab
met Shop of Mr.. Edward Johnson adjoining the
residence of his father, Mr.. Robert johnson, on
Gospel Hill, Main Street. When the fire was dis
covered it had made such Roadway as to pre-
clude all possibility of saving the Cabinet Shop
and residence of Mr.. Johnson, Constructed o.
wood, which were consumed with all their con-
tents, the family barely escaping from the burn
ing buildings. The flames were communicated to
the frame dwelling Of Mr.. P. Byron Hoge, about
twenty feet distant, and the efforts of our hremen
who were promptly at hand, were directed to sa-
wing this property. Owing to stoppage OF the
nozzle by gravel and the consequent bursting OF
the hose a delay was occasioned, in which time
the fire had made such rapid progress that all Ell
forts to save Mr.. Hoge's dwelling was unavaing.
Most of the furniture was removed before this
building was consumed.
a portion of the time the residence of Mr.. Da-
Wis A. Kayser (brick with single roof was In
great jeopardy The roof Sf his brick Kitchen
Immediately adjoining the rear portion OF Mr..
Hoge's residence was several times ca fire, and
only by the incessant work of the firemen and
others was this building saved, the roof being
very much damaged.
The loss falls heavily on Messrs johnson and
Hoge, neither of them having any insurance on
their buildings. Ft
Too much praise can not be accorded to our
hremen, many of whom manned the engine con-
tinually during the fire and all of whom present,
worked with will We would call particular
attention to the heroic efforts Of JAG. Sherer and
Chas Stafford, of the FIRE company, who, in pla-
ces, almost unbearable from the excessive, heat.
we've ever found directing the streams of water
where they considered them most available, and
through their efforts mainly Was the kitchen of
Mr.. Kayser saved, and perhaps his residence also.
They certainly. did their duty manfully.
Among many others who did invaluable SER
vice in sabduing the flames, we noticed, John
christian and another colored man, whose name
we could not learn who remained on Mr. Kay
sers Kitchen pouring bucket after bucket of water
ON the smoking roof until driven away by the
anbearable heat from the nearly consumed dwell
ing Of Mr.. Hoge, when they continued their labor
nheeaslngiy, wherever it was of avail, until ell
danger to other buildings had passed We would
like to give the proper credit to others, who were
conspicuous in their efforts, by name, but OWING
10 the excitement Of the occasion and the imnos-
Slollty of one seeing every heroic effort to save
the property of their neghbors, we are unable to
40 SO. Suffice it, then, to say that our excellent
Fire Company, under the command of their self
possessed officers, Capt. Waters and Lieut.. Jnc.
b. oherer' and the citizens, generally, present,
did all In their power to save all the buildinas
threatened by the devouring element.
