SLIGHT FIRE-On Friday afternoon,
April l4th, we are informed, the wife of
Nlr. \. Eleck, residing in a house On the
farm of Archy Ii. Shaw, Esq, about one
mile below this place, lifted some ashes in a
wooden vessel and set them on the outside
Of the building. About midnight, the fam
lIy were awakened from their slumbers by
the loud barking of their dog in the lower
room, when, TO their dismay, they realized
the fact that the house was on fire. as the
room was filled with smoke almost to suffo-
cation. The family made hasty exit thro'
window. A few buckets of water, how
ever, sufhced to quench the flames Upon
examination it was found that the lower sill,
and the weather boards nearly up TO the sec
ond floor, were already pretty nearly burned
through. But for the timely alarm given
by the dog, the family and house would
nave been consumed tegsther This was
Truly narrow escape, and shou ID be warn
ing to all to be more careful as to where
they deposit ashes.

! GBIsT Mill BURNED On Tuesday,
April l2th. at about + Z. NJ, the citizens
/ OF this place we're startled by the loud shouts
/ of fire" " All sprung into the streets at
/ once, when it was ascertained that the large
four story frame grist mill of Messrs G. L.
Reed Il Co, located on the river in the
Southern suburbs Of the Borough, was on
fire. Everybody fastened to the scene of
coufiagration without delay, although it was
evident to all that the building could not he
saved, As there was a strong wind prevailing
than. By the time our citizens reached the
mill, the whole roof and upper stories were
already envelope! in flames, and in a com
paratiycly few minutes the fire hal spread
to the lower floors The mill burned so
very rapidly. and created such an intense
heat as to euGanger the steam saw mill Of
the Mcssrs BigIer, and the dwelling house
ci Dir Samuel Jordan, the miiler-Jhe saw
mill being situated about forty feet distant,
aud the dwelling house about one hundred
and twenty feet, from the burning building.
The heat was so intense as to roast the pitch
ont of the knots in the weather boarding on
the saw mill and set on fire the tramway,
used in conveying the lumber from the saw
mill to the board yard. In fact, it was only
by the tearing away of great portion OF
the tramway, and the free application of
wafer by those present, together with the
favorable course of the wind, that the saw
mill .nj ,iralIinsr ,para ,a-or.J Fr,.,, ,lo L.,
vouring element. Between four and five
hundred bushels of grain. belonging to va
rious persons in the neighborhood, were
consumed with the mill
Great credit is due to onr citizens for their
pronptness in responding to alarms of fire,
and especially for their herculean labors on
the present occasion-many having had their
faces and hands pretty severely scorched in
their efforts to stay the progress of the
flames.
We have heard no estimate of the loss
sustained, but, we presume, will not be less
than four or five thousand dollars. No in
surance.
An incident, which might have proved
fatal, occurred near the commencement o.
the fire Mr.. Harry T. Bigler, jumped on
horse and rode at full speed to town for
the purpose of getting lot OF buckets. At
the upper end of Second street, he met Mr.
Isaiah Goodfellow, also riding at full speed
By some unforeseen circumstance they at
tempted to pass each other by taking the
same side OF the street, when they collded
knocking down both the horses, aud throw
ing the riders to the ground with great
force. Mr. Bigler received a severe cut on
the leg, beside a number of other bruises;
while Mr.. Goodfelow had his face badly
bruised and his left knee cut The only
wonder is that neither men nor horses were
killed.

4 SUGGESTION is our purpose to
keep before the citizens of this place the
subject of manufacturing, and urge upon
them the necessity of doing something to-
wards inducing the location of manufacto-
ries at Clearfield. We have the water, the
material, the skill, the LABOR, aud everything
else necessary to make such establishments
a success and our citizens may as well re
al,ze now, as at any future time. that in the
/ fostering OF manufactures lies the most di
rect and, we may say, the only swre way of
building up our town, and adding to its
wealth and prosperity. The sale and car
rying away of all the merchandise needed
in circuit of few miles around US, will
add little to the general wealth of the place,
or disturb the silence which too often reigns
in our streets. 1t is the putting OF steam
engines, the whirr of machinery, the clatter
of hammers, and the general hustle and
noise of manufacturing establishments, that
gives life and prosperity to place, and at
tracts to ii selfrelant, industrious and econ
omical men, with both money and brains
Many OF our citizens. no doubt, have no in
clination to engage in mechanical or manu-
featuring pursuits themselves, yet they have
it in their power to greatly facilitate such
movements. They can offer favorable loca-
tions at moderate rates ora they can club
together and offer bonus in the way of
grounds upon which to build machine shops
and factories. Why not do it? What we
can give shorld be given toward the build
ing up Of manufactures, and in this way
aid in building up the town. There Is moth
ing ike moving at the right time Noc is
the right time and it behoores us to i'm
prove that time, lest we be compelled in the
future to mourn the opportunities gone
forever

Gas LoAN.-In our advertising col.
umns this morning, will be found the
announcement Of tie Commissioners ap,
pointed under tho ordinance passed in
January last, authorizing a loan to be
negotiated for the purchase Of the Gas
Works by Che city, that they will, on next
Monday, at the National Bank OF West
Virginia, open books Tor subscriptions TO
said loan. Tie Commissioners set forth
fully the terms on which the loan
is to be negotiated, and we refer
our readers to the advertisement
for particulars. We feel warranted in
saying that a better opportunity for safe
investment was never offered our citizens
and we doubt not they will come forward
promptly and avail themselves Of 1t. To
make the loan popular, we believe the
bonds are to be issued in denominations
of fifty, one hundred, five hundred and
one thousand dollars. They arc 10 bear
eight per cent interest per annnm, paya'
bic semi.annually, and to be free from
municipal taxation.

CONCERNING RooFs.-No gentleman Is
well dressed, whatever his tailor may
have done for him, unless he is finished
out with handsome hat. No matter
what else he may wear, n shabby or ugly
hat will give o shabby or awkward air TO
the whole man. The Georgian's idea OF
full dress, viz: q hat, standing shirt collar,
and pair oil spurs, was not very far wrong
after oil II the hat was q stylish one. For
taste and discrimination in the selection
of gentlemen's head gear, Messrs Harpers
Brothers, of this city, have long since es'
tablished an enviable reputation. They
know what good hat is; they are always
posted in the latest styles, and they select
with unfailing taste the kind Of hat that
best "becomes" u customer, and in nine
cases out of ten know better than he does
himself the style Of head.gear he ought to
wear. Just now they are opening out
the freshest spring styles, and every
young gentleman who wants to look truly
"nobby" ought 10 so round and see them.

Nor RUNNING.-The steam ferry boat
which runs between North Wheeling and

One Of the boilers Of the craft required

Unfortunately the prOprietors had taken

other boat, which lett them without any
means Of crossing, except in skifs.
These were kept busy during the day
passing over foot passengers. The
repairs tothc boiler will be completed to.
day, perhaps, when business win be fully
resumed.

on each occasion not u seat is unoccupied.
