Novel Incendiarisms-0n Sunday morn
ing last, while the Churches were still hold
ing service, the Photograph Gallery, OF Messrs.
Longe & Sharp was discovered to be on fire.
But little alarm was raised and those who first
made the discovery, proceeded to extinguish
the flames, which were found to be issuing
from one Of the western windows where
large solar camera had been placed. But little
effort was required to subdue the fire, though
located in the fourth story Of one of the largest
blocks in the towu. Water from tank in the
rooms, was available and ready hands admin
istered copiously of it to the burning appara-
tus. By some means the solar lens had be-
come uncovered and the rays of the sun being
concentrated in a focus upon quilt or curtain
that had been hung at the window to darken
the room, kindled fire and flames starting
up, the camera, curtains and window were
, soon enveloped by the burning element. The
solar lens by the intensity of the heat or the
sudden cooling by the water throw upon it,
was cracked into thousand pieces and entire
" destroyed. The camera, curtains, some cloth
ing and articles lying near were burnt to Gin
ders. The loss will BE- IL the psighboEhood, we
are informed, Of sl75.O0, to the RichlandMutu-
al, in which the stock is insured. Had the fire
obtained any headway, nothing could have
saved the block from being consumed.-Ken-
ton Republican.

Mr.. P. S. Gilmore, the great orig
inator of the great Boston Jubilee,
is resolved that future ages shall
know how gigantic was his Coliseum
and that none of the particulars shall
be left to the misty chances of tradi-
ton. Mr.. Gilmore, therefore, has
laid down the baton, taken up the
pen, and is now engaged in writing
full and complete history Of the
melodious event. AS everything
connected with this matter has been
upon large scale-our readers will
specially remember the enormous
drum-we fancy that Mr.. Gilmore
will be unable to complete his work
in less than one hundred volumes,
elephant folio-a monument not so
much to be read as to be looked at
with reverence.

The soldiers, orphans' Home.

The Columbus correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette, under date of
Thursday the 18th, says: The Sol
diers' Orphans Home bill was prac-
ticaIlv killed in the Senate late this
evening. This untoward result is
seriously regretted by the great mass
of the Republican members, and
makes it proper to recall the facts.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Potts. 1t provided for taking charge
by the State, IF the Home at Xenia,
and continue it on an efficient foot
ing. A few days ago, the bill was
referred to a select Committee of
five. Three of this Committee,
Messrs. Potts. Woodwork and Nc
Kinney, reported the bill back with
some amendments, yesterday, and
recommended its passage. The
other two, Mr.. Campbell, Democrat,
and Mr. Root, Republican, reported
d substitute providing for an expen-
sive machinery to ascertain the num-
be- of soldiers orphans in ths State,
and report next October. The De-
mocrats eagerly caught at this, and
combining witI Root and two other
Republicans, Messrs. Howard and
Yeatman, adopted In this shape, the
bill rassed, and the hopes Of the
orphans must again be deferred"
The constituents of Root do not
