very interesting, and bids fair to be success.
It is an enterprise which should receive the
support OF all persons who entertain any desire
whatever for improvement. For by conduct

the rampage II this vicinity. A few nights
since, there was some meat stolen from the
smoke house Of ono of our citizens. The thief
must have been very mean, indeed, to be en-
gagged in such pretty theft, Qbut all thieves
are mean,) or else must have beea prompted to
commit the deed from INDECENT circumstances.
No clue has yet been found which would lead
to the apprehension Of the guilty party.

Disastrous fire Plymouth, O.-On Tues
day morning last a fire broke out in the village
of Plymouth, on the S. NJ &N.RR which
destroyed the whole business block before it
could be subdued. The fire originated in the
building occupied by Spear & Shield, and
spread to the buildings on each side and to
fourth building on the east side, which was
partially consumed. At one time it was
thought the Odd TClows block could not be sav
ed, but by the use OF one OF these chemical fire
aunihilators, which fortunately happened to
be in town, the fire was checked before it
reached that block. Men and women labored
assiduously and seemed to vie with each other
as to which could do most to extinguish the
flames, and but for the determination with
which they worked the whole business portion
of the town would have been lost The Stocks
were mainly removed from the buildings, but
moro or less damaged The loss as nearly as
we could ascertain was as follows. DJ. W.
ant on building and Stock, $500 insured for
s., 800 W. B. Kahn, building 1000, insured
Tor $1,000 Spear Il Shield on damaged stock,
fully covered by insurance. R. Emory,

H Balsley, building $500, insured for $1,000.
Webber & Beelman on damaged stock-fully
covered. 2. Mc'Donough on damaged building
and stock not uscertained, but fully covered

space on the floor for the customers to stand.
There are various opinions about the cause Of
the iiro. At first the general opinion in tie
vicinity was that it was accidental, as $1,000
in government and railroad bonds were found
in jar shut up in an open. They were badly
burned, but can probably oil DO identified and
restored by an expert. But theopinion rapid
" grew that the origin was incendiarism, to
cover the crime Of murder. For, although the
body when found was charTod and disfgured

and the skull was fractured as BY blows.
Moreover, the door, which was always secure

unfastened. Deceased was brother Of Sardis

Fire-BrCwery Burned.-On Sunday
morning last, a FIRE broke out, in the Brewery
of Mr.. Chas. Goisin, on north edge Of town,
and ere 1t could be extinguished the roof of
the main building and several wooden sheds,
at the east end Of the building were DESTROYED,
together with portion of the second floor. at
one time the fire ragged so vehemently that it
was thought nothing could be saved, but the
zeal with which the fremen worked at last
conquered the obstinacy of the flames, and
they were subdued, after destroying property
to the amount Of several thousand dollars.
There wers in the brewery at the time, about
2000 bushels Of barley and malt, much of
which was destroyed or badly injured
The steamer was promptly on the ground,
and after some delay began to throw water,
and was doing good service, when section of
hose burst, and stopped the fow of water
The damage was repaired, and again she be-
gan 10 play, but ere long another section burst,
and not having enough hose to reach, the bal
ance was placed ON No. I, which had, mean
while taken upon position below the brew
cry along side Of little creek, from which it
obtained supply OF water. Nobly did she
then do her duty, and for about three hours,
constant stream of water was thrown, the men
at the brakes being frequently relieved; and 10
the wei directed efforts of the Chief Engineer
aided by her foreman, Mr. Free, and his wor-
tay corps Of assistants, as well as Of those who
labored at the brakes, belongs the credit a sa-
wing what escaped the raging flames. The
morning was very cold, and the men deserve
the highest credit for the assiduity with which
they labored. Many Of them wele drenched
with water, and their clothes frozen stiff, but
still they labored, until relieved by the steam
er which was placed in position on the creek
about 9 o'clock, and remained playing upon
the fire until it was all extinguished.
There was considerably delay in getting wa
ter at first, and considerable grumbling, as is
always the case, on such occasions, because of
the delay, but under the circumstances, and
owing to the extreme cold, we think the mem
bers of the Steamer did well The conduct of
the crowd who gathered upon the stoop of NJ.
Geisins house, and laughed at those who
were endeavoring to save the perishing prop
ertY was reprehensible.
