"curcAeo, Ill. Nov. 9Th, 1871.

Mrs. Mary Jane Soule-I suppose you
will be surprised to hear from mel sup
pose you have heard before this time of the
terrible fire in Chicago. Over eight thous-
and houses burned, all the North side is
burnt, all the business places-The court
house, tho chamber of Commerce, the water
works, Field Lighter & Co., that large dry
good house-everything is gone-peope
are obliged to live in churches, and school
houses-We had four horses burned, and
one Of my feet got badly burned-Mary
Jane, do be so kind as to speak to the neigh
bors, and get me box of bedding, and
some clothing--It will be thankfully re-
ceived--We have not clothing enough to
make us comfortable-There are SO many
that are needy and in want at the present.
JANE STAMBAUGH."
The above letter is from Mrs. Jane Stam-
baugh, wife of William b. Stambaugh,
brother of Mrs. Soule, with whom she
spent part of last winter in Chicago
We hope that the numerous relations and
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Stambaugh in
Perry county will respond Immediately to
the supply of their necessities-The friends
and relatives of the above, are generally Of
the wealthy class in the county-Mrs,
Soule is making arrangements to send q
box as soon as possible-The friends will,
therefore, send to Mrs. Soule at Landis-
burg, bed clothes of all kind, and wearing
apparel, especially for women.

A pantber.-A Clearaold county paper

A Panther.--A Clearfield county paper
tells the following story: On the 2Sth
ult., E. ]. Cunningham, a boy of fourteen
years living at Rockton, made narrow es-
cape from panther While on his way to
the tunnel ON an errand, in Union town
ship, he was startled by a low and heavy
growl near overhead. Upon looking up he
saw 2 panther perched on tree about thir-
ty feet from the ground which was wag-
ging its tail, in anticipation of springing
upon its prey. No sooner did the boys
eyes meet those of the panther than it gave
loud and very piercing yell and leaped to
the ground. This sudden, bold and noisy
demonstration on the part of the panther,
frightened the colt, which the boy was rid
ing, and it took to fight at full speed-the
panther keeping close to its side and about
neck to neck, giving on occasional fierce
yell, which seemed to add speed to the
colts feet. After running in this manner
for about forty rods the panther gave up
the chase, and disappeared in the forest.

Burned to Death.-The Gettysburg Star
and Sentinel says On Friday night last,
about Ii o'clock, Miss Edith Gitt, aged be-
tween Is and 16 years, daughter of Jesse
w. Gitt, merchant, of Hanover, attempted
to blow out burning lamp of Kerosene oil.
The fluid ignited, exploding the lamp,
and scattering the burning liquid over her
clothing, which was at once enveloped in
flames. Aid was at once summoned, but
before the flames were extinguished, the
young lady was terribly burned, the face
and breast to crisp. She fingered until
II o'clock Saturday morning, when death
relieved her sufferings. Miss Gitt was a
young lady of culture and the idol of n
large circle of loving friends.

A Barn Burned.-The Carlisle Volunteer
says: On Saturday last, about noon, the
splendid barn of William NJ. Watts, Esq,
in Upper Allen township, was entirely con-
sumed by fire, together with all it's con-
tents. The fire is supposed to have origin
ated in the threshing machine, and when
it was firs5 discovered on the floor, beneath
the machine was about the size of n half
bushel measure. One of the workmen
called for bag to smother it, and doubt
less could have done so but no bag was at
hand, and in another moment blast of
wind swept through the barn door, and
the heap of straw at the end of the sepa-
rator was in flames. Then all the hope
of saving the building was at once aban-
doned. The men had barely time to save
themselves. A wagon, partially loaded
with grain, in the barn floor, was in flames
before it could be removed. All the live
stock was saved, but all the other contents
of the barn were consumed, consisting of
500 bushels of barley, 1000 bushels of corn,
NOW of hay, and a large quantity of
wheat, threshed and unthreshed. Quite a
number of smaller buildings, adjoining the
barn, were saved This was new frame
barn, three stories high, and was one of the
best structures of the kind in the county.
Mr.. Watts loss will be heavy, but we
presume it is at least partially covered by in
surance. This is the third fire, from a
similar cause, which has occurred in this
county within the last three or four years.
