The Brick and Shingled Store and Dwelling
House of Mr.. NJ. P. Funkhouser, on Main Street,
in some unaccountable way, took fire. in the third
story, occupied by Mr.. George Teaford as De-
guers&n Gallery, on Saturday night last, about
half past twelve clock The alarm was given
and the Fire Company were promptly On the
ground and labored with a will to suppress the
flames, which they succeeded in doing, after about
One hours incessant work.
Almost the entire upper story was burned out,
and the fire crept down the studding of the sew
crai aStered partitions to the floor of the second
story. The old tin roof, over which a single
roof had been placed, suppressed the flames to
some extent, and prevented the houses on either
side from taking fire, though through the sky
light the flames leaped higher than the highest
aionses near by. With the whole upper story on
FIRE and filled with dense smoke, which poured
through every crevice, yet our dauntless frenen
sushed boldly IN and instinctively, as it were,
kept n stream of water on the most available
points, while another stream was kept constant
ly on the smoking and burning roof and the ad-
joining buildings and by continued and well d.
rected efforts saved the building. No one can
look at the condition of the building now and
fail to wonder that it was saved This is anotb.
er marked evidence of the efficiency of our Fire
Company, and argues more powerfully than
words for equipping them with the best facilities
for combating the deyouring element They de-
serve and should have every facility to render
their willing efforts efficacious, even under the
most dsadvantageous circumstances
Mr.. Teaford lost almost every thing in his GAL
lery. We learn that he is insured for ST 900.
Mr.. Funkhouser, besides the damage to the up
per stories of his house, had his storeroom consid
erably damaged The walls of his house were also
much damaged by water. His stock of goods
was moved out with comparatively little damage
His house was insured for 81 900.
AIessrs. Trout, StribGng & Berkeley moved their
entire stock Of Drugs, with little or no damage in
moving. They were equally fortunate in moving
back on Monday morning,

LIE L., only and beloved child of Joseph
and Mary Jane Herman, aged 1 year and

Jesus said Suffer little children and forbid them not
to come unto Me, for Of such is the kingdom of Heaven
Twilight had her curtains gathered
Pinned them gently with star,
And the fragrant morning zephyrs
foated sweetly from afar
But the idol fir was shattered,
Sweetly had the spirit fled,
Plunled were her bright wings for Heaven
Aud the black-eyed one was dead.
Heaven retaineth now your treasure,
Earth the lovely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where your darling Mallio sleeps.
