FIRE IN Mr.. CARMEL.--The Shnmokin UeralR,
of the 2lst inst, says Between 10 and Ii o'clock
Sunday night, the residence of Charles Tovey, in
Mt. Carmel, took fire and was entirely consumed
together with all his furniture, clothing and proys-
ions. The fire is supposed to have caught from a
cook stove in the kitchen, small building attached
TO the house, and when discovered the flames had
gained such headway that it was impossible to sub
due them. Mr.. Tovey and family had retired for
the night, and we're aroused by person who first
discovered the fire, barely in time to make their es-
cape through second story window. The house
was valued at 81 600, and was, we learn, insured
only TO n small amount.

OBITUARY.
HAlas, that tho good should die Alas, that the
righteous should fail Death Why dost thou touch
the flower whose perfume hath made glad the earth
Why dost thou snatch away tho excellent OF the
earth, in whom is all our delight!'
The departure Of a good person and friend from
this "vae of tears requires more than the ordinary
notice given Of their death, and, thinking this l
trust you viii allow me the privilege of paying,
through your columns. tribute to the memory Of
Mrs. JANE CLEMENT BUCHER. Her sudden death
cast gloom over her Hcquaintanoes in this city, for
they knew her we'll, and appreciated in her the good
qualities Of christianity virtue and friendship. Her
christian character has made tour loss her gain, y
for she is reaping her reward in heavenly bliss
MS she Joins the angels in singing praises to the
Most High.
She was loving wife aftectionato daughter and
sister, kind and sincere friend christan-haying
10 enemies, and loved by all who knew her, In the
language Of DR.. Watts 1t can be said Of her death
"How blest the righteous when he dies
When sinks a weary soul to rest,
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaycs the expiring breast ~
'Sc fades the summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are Ger;
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies wave along the shore"
"Lifc's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and Garth combine to sny,
lIew blest the righte Gus when he dies
