The Gas Compdny.-On Monday
afternoon the Westminster Gas Com.
pany purchased OF Mr.. George Kress.
lot situated on George Street. near the
railroad, including the use Of switch.
containing / acres Of land, on which
the necessary buildings for the manu-.
iaeture of gas are to be erected We
learn that about Sl2 900 has been sub.
scribed and work will be commenced
very soon. The company propose to
have all the work, as far as pos.
sible, done by our own mechanics, the
bricks, lumber, lime, stone, and every.
thing else that is necessary will be pur
chased here, thus aiiordng employment
to large number of laborers. We
again urge upon all the necessity Of
subscribing to the stock. There are
many persons in our community who
have from 500 TO $500 to invest, and
this, we think, is about as safe an in.
vestment as has ever been offered here.
Outsiders, that is persons from dis.
tlncc, are making inquiries about it aud
are ready to ''gobble' it upat once. If
the necessary funds cannot be obtained
in this county, the stock will be sold
elsewhere. But we have no such fears,
our citizens are too enterprising to allow
such fac opportunity to slip through
their fingers. Subscriptions will be
received at the First National Bank or
by either Of the Directors.
Tie Crops-As we had heard so
much about the favorable prospect 70,
an excellent yield of wheat in this
county, We thought that at the first op.
portnuity We would judge for ourselves
On Saturday last we accepted the invi.
tatiou OF friend for short drive into
the country aud found that the reports
had not been in the least exaggerated.
The wheat is well set, even on the
ground, has beautiful color. aud looks
strong and healthy Oats are rather
late. yet week or too Of warm weather
will give them good start Many
persons were preparing the ground for
corr, others were planting, aud by the
close of next week all will have finished
Glover looks remarkable we'll, and there
Is every indication of a large crop
More grain has been seeded than form.
erly, aud We hope that the highest ex.
peelations OF all will be realized.
NaTrol0 Escape.-On Monday after.
noon the large furniture factory OF Shorb
4 Leister, in the West End, was dis.
covered on fire, but fortunately was ex.
tinguished without much damage. The
fire originated from the smoke stack. il
is supposed. One Of the workmcn went
up into the loft for some material and a
piece Of burning wood fell on his hand
lie Immediately gave the alarm and in
short time large crowd with buckets
assembled, and by their united efforts
succeeded in subduing it. At the time
strong wind was blowing and it il had
not been so soon discovered there is no
doubt bat that there would have been
disastrous fire.
