SILVER CoRNEr BAND.-We learn that an effort
is being made to raise Silver Cornet Band in this
place. We hope the effort will meet with success
The musical talent of this place cannot be surpassed
by any other town in the State, and we have often
felt the want of good band While most of the
neighboring towns have good musical organizations
of the kind, DIRE compelled to send abroad for our
music on every public occasion. We therefore trust
that our young friends will be properly encouraged
and that may soon be able to boast of a band of
our own, and one that cannot be surpassed.

ALMOST ANOTHER FIRE-On Wednesday last the
roof of Mr.. Ira I. Clements Planning Mill, on Race
street, caught fire from the smoke stack The build
ing is covered by Hines Gravel Roof, and the
boards upon which it is laid took fire, but owing to
the peculiar reproof qualities of the roof the flames
could not get through, and the workmen about the
mill soon extinguished the fire. The smoke stack
goes through the roof hole having been cut
through for that purpose after the roof was put on
Had the building been covered with a shngle oI
slate roof the flames would soon have got through
and another serious conhagration would have beer
the result.

The MURDER IN MrLroN.--The Mtttonian, of
last week. gives the following particulars Of the late
murder in that place A few weeks since colored
man named Joshua Jones, who has been at work for
some time for Mr.. Samuel McMahnn, and who resi-
ded in house owned by Mr. NJ, in the lower part
Of this borough, became jealous of his wife, many
say with good reason,) and the consequence was a
quarrel, and the final result separation His wife
left him and refused to live with him any longer
He importuned her several times to come back to
his bed and board, but without avail On Thursday
OF last week, Mrs Jones at tho house of Richard
Bowen, on Broadway, when, about three o'clock
her husband called and desired conversation with
her They left the house and crossed the railroad to
Locust street, in tho of the depot and report
states that he again endeavored to induce her to
turn home with him. Rumor also states that he
cused her of an intention to elope with another man
and that she acknowledged the soft impeachment
and informed her husband that she would never live
with him again. AT this point, as told us by one who
saw the shooting he pointed pistol at her breast
and said that if she did not live with him she should
never live with another. At this she seized his hand
and managed to partially turn the pistol aside, so
that when it was discharged the contents entered
her hip instead of her breast. As soon as the shot
was fired Jones turned and ran and his wife managed
to walk to the house. DR.. McCleery was called and
endeavored to find the ball, but it had entered too
deep to be reached by the probe, and as has since
been ascertained had passed into her abdomen, and
eventually caused her death. She fingered along
until Monday morning when she died. A reward
has been offered for the arrest of Jones' but his cap
ture has not yet been effected
