Rules for Measnrine Corn.

The following rules, which have

HARRIsBURG, Jan. There was a very
destructive fire at Miffiin, on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, last night. 1t started between
half f-past Z and 8 o'clock, in a large store
house, known as the Crystal Palace owned
by James Nj. Sellers, of Philadelphia in the
centre of the town. 1t was occupied at the
time by Marcham & Zuliff for the storage of
grain, etc. 1t is supposed to have been the
result of spontaneous combustion in the eel
len among infammable materials.
1t was soon discovered that the flames
could not be stayed by means of the limited
and inefficient fire apparatus in the borough,
and despatch was accordingly sent to this
city for assistance. Forthwith the Citizens
and Friendship Fire Companies of this place
proceeded with their steamers and hose car
riages, and with the Mount Vernon Hook
and Ladder Company to Mitf1in, on a special
train provided by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
When they reached there the Hope Fire Com
pany, Of Lewistown, had already arrived, but
nothing could be done. owing to the want of
water facilities. There were no water-plugs,
the Juniata river was frozen up, and the hose
was insufficient to reach it.
The scene was appalling. Two squares
were entirely consumed, embracing some of
the most costly structures in the town. Thirty
one dwellings, stores, halls and offices were
utterly destroyed, together with twenty-nine
hlbDleb anu OIu6f OuIuOlbeS Vi Ndlu6. ne
Free Masons Lodge Hall, two Odd Fellows
Halls, the Red Mems Hall, and the United
American Mechanics Hall were all consumed,
with tho Union Hotel, the principal public
house. The printing establishment of the
Democrat and Register, Messs. Jackman &
Bonsall, is in ruins, together with the dwell
ings of the proprietors. The distraction
among the people was terrible.
The courthouse yard, embracing whole
square, was this morning filed with furniture
and household goods of every description,
thrown there indiscriminately, without care,
in the excitement and general alarm incident
| to the conhagration. The streets present the
same sad picture of havoc. The total loss is
estimated at $25O,OOO. The Perry County
Mutual Insurance Company suffer consider
ably, and the Lebanon Mutual, of Johnstown,
loses $4,000 The Columbia also loses
heavily Want and destitution among the
citizens is the saddest result.

Extraordinary Franks of an Admirer of
Nilsson.
A great many people have raved about Madle
Nilsson; poetical effusions strongly indicative of
insanity have been indited to her; ladies without
number have been sick with envy about her, but
nothing so painfully absurd has ever come to
light with regard to her. says the Chicago Times,
as the case of one Jerome Myer. Where and when
the passion of Myer was originally conceived does
not appear, though ii is probable that at her
first concert he was seized and overcome with
the DANCE. GUS malady, as shortly after that
event he endeavOred to see the prima donna at
the Sherman House, in Chicago, but was pre-
vented from so doing by the watchful Strakosch,
since which time he has persistently pe5tered
the employees of the Office with his cards, which
he desired to have sent to her. OF course, this
was refused and resulted in calling out the fol-
lowing note:-
"Hon Dauid Gage:-I called at your house more
than twenty times with notes for Mad'e Nilsson,
OF her room, or allow me to see her. l bought the
Sherman House yesterday and l wish you to dis
charge every clerk, bookReeper, etc. in your Office
and appoint Others who will treat guests in gen.
tlemanly manner. JEROME MYBR,
"Cor. May and Wash. sts."
Beside Tie imaginary real estate investment,
he INDUCED in a bona tide purchase of hand
some pair of horses and cutter, with the in
stress on Sunday afternoon. This eXtravagant
piece of gallantry has not yet been consum-
mated, however. On Sunday evening the poor
lunatic called at the Sherman House and de-
clared his intention of taking bath preparatory
to his nuptials with the fair object of his admi-
ration, and actually began to disrobe in the
parlor, where several ladies were seated. This
laudable undertaking, however was not effected,
being interrupted by the arrival of the breath
less and excited clerks, who saved their honor
and the reputation of the hotel by giving the
fellow into custody.
