PERrEcr amiahility of character is as rare
as it is beautiful and attractive. 1t operates
in a narrow channel from necessity. Upon
the one hand it must avoid total passiveness
to the expressed errors of the mistaken and
upon the other, advance its own opinions and
maintain its own rights, in that meekness OF
wisdom that wins while it opposes. 1t is al
ways pleasingly persuasive even when adj

STATEMENT OF CHARLES.

I was sleeping with my younger brothers,
one three and the other eleven years old, and
about midnight was aroused by the smoke
strangling me; jumped out Of bed and went
to and opened a small door that leads out to
| the room over the kitchen, when the smoke
burst through and almost stiied me; the
smoke came up over the kitchen, apparently
from The wood house. | ran back and aroused
Lewis; he sat up in bed, when told him TO
bring down the boys; then ran down and told
mother, who slept in the sitting room. She
jumped up with her babe, and catching up some
bed -clothes ran ont. She lettthe babe In the
yard and ran back to the house, now burning
rapidly, TO try to rescue the boys, but it was
too bot. tried to get in the room up stairs
six times but failed. / got out the meiodeon
and a desk with the valuble papers I'M it. At
this time Mr.. Dave Steiner came and -.
Here the boy was removed, and we had TO get
our Information the best we could. Ii seems
that the sisters. aged about twenty and six,
teen, eseapedunharmed.
Ii is reported that Mr.. Sterner took the leg
of a table and burst open the door I'd Lewis
room, aud tried to call him up, but could not,
then threw the stick at aud struck him but he
did not move. At this time the house was
enveloped in flames. Everything was con.
sumed excepting the melodeon, desk. and a
few bed clothes, which the ladies had % wrap
about them in lieu of clothing. No valua-
Bile papers were destroyed that We could hear
of. The loss in property IS estimated at be-
tween four and six thousand dollars.
The remains of the three were conveyedto
the residence of Mrs. Edward Dudley, where
the family now are. all that remains of the
three, who were SO full of hope and joyous
anticipations ct the setting of the urevious
evening sun, was charred, ~lifeless mas ses, in
di~stinguishable. God forbid that any more
OF our readers should meet with such a fate.
Mr.. Dudley has been most unfortunate with
his family, ter deaths having occurred, and
only two Of them from disease, eight tfagical-
" or suddenly. Only last spring, in May or
June, his oldest son, Edward, vas killed by
fractions mules, and now three more links
are s~avagely tore from the chain. MRS. Dud-
ley, the mother, is a daughter Of Mr.. DENIM
son, living near Agency, and q sister of the
wife of our fellow citizen, Mr.. Milligan, a
very estimable woman, and no blame is at
tached to her for the awful accident, as she is
reputed to be q careful, prudent woman.

CAFSE OF THE FIRE.

This is not known. Some think it ~origina-
ted from ashes which had been taken up in a
kettle and left in the wood-house but this ia
denied by those whom we think should know,
as they say there were no Goals in the ashes /;
besides, there was not enough air stirring to
fan the Goals into life, had there been any.

The atmosphere appears to be instinct with
life in every direction. Flies innumerable
Of the size of, and not wholly unlike the mos
quito, seem TO fill space about as fnll as it
will conveniently bear, and admit of indie
pendent motion, in the individual fly. 0cca-
sionally hosts of them will rally to a given
point and rise in a column two or three hun
dred feet high, the rapid extension of which
upward being supplied by the myriad access
sions to the base of the column. Several Of
these columns, as black as coal smoke, may
be seen at the same time in close proximity
TO each other, but maintaining q separate and
distinct existence. And while you behold
and wonder, they totally dissolve, only to
form again in another locality, and by the
same process (like smoke} of rising from the
ground below. If they are proposed as a
substitute fer the mosquito, we accept the
terms, as they have no auger to bore into a
fellow and get blood, bat instead of that ar
ticle q nice moustache, which makes me
think they are all of the male persuasion,
and will soon run out, and then wen have q
good time Of it generally.
