Two or Three Facts. - Wanamaker &
Brown have been i'll business only ten
years, but stand now at the head of the
clothing trade, having the largest house
and largest business in America. They re-
tain all their old customers, and add new
ones by the hundreds. Their customers are
not all Philadelphians, but come from all
over the State and indeed from all the
cities in the Uuioli.
Our readers will draw their own inference
from this argument of facts.

lncendnrianism. - The Shippensburg
Ne'os says that on Friday morning about
four O'Clock, a fire was discovered in the
basement of the Sherman House in that
borough, and but for the fortunate early
discovery the consequences would have
been terrible, as the building was filled
with boarders." A person who could set
fire to building occupied by sleeping per-
sons, ought to receive the prompt attention
of a vigilance committee.

On Monday an accident occurred to
the towboat Lake Erie No 3, which
left this city for Louisville on Thurs
day. About thirty miles above Cincin-
natl, the "wrist" of her shaft broke, and
the piston and pitmau plunged through
the cylinder and landed in the coal
box beyond. On course the escape Of
the steam was prompt and vehement.
The engineer, Barker by name,
had been working at the head Of
the cylinder, fastening a nut, only
moment before the accident, and was
still SO near that the force of the steam
took his hat off. Fortunately, however,
he was uninjured. The steamers J. S:
Neal and Ceal Hill went to the aid of
the disabled boat, and landed her barges
safely at McCollinis Bar, about six miles
from Cincinnati. The Lake Erie" was
taken to Cincinnati for repairs.

running at great rate. To our in
quiry we got the one answer Somebody
overheard !" That suited US. That
was sensation, SO we took up the dog
trot the others were INDUCING in, and
went to tho river bank. There were
people everywhere, but the greatest
crowd was down by the wharf boat.
Thither our footsteps tended. There
was something in the river swimming
for dear life. 1t was hog that rashly,
madly and with a wonderful want of fear
of water, had jumped overheard from the
wharf. boat. He swan around the boat
and finally made out to land near the
