ANOTHER FIEE.--At about twenty mir
utcs before four o'clock on Thursday morn
ing last, mass of flames was discovered
issuing from house, owned by ALBERT
HoLLE, and occupied by EDWARD IIoEF-
MAN In short time it was totally con-
together with all the household
goods and full stock and outfit of brewing
material and utensils. BY the strenuous
excrtions of citizens, ncighboring buildings
were saved The origin of the fire cannot
be accounted for, but is supposed to have
somehow caught Academia ly. Entire loss
estimated at over $4,000. House insurcdh Ivy
Mr.. HOLE, in 4Etna, of Hartford, Conn,
for $4,000; brewing stock and household
furniture, by Mr.. HOFFMAN. in Allegany
County Insurance Co., of Cumberland, for
$4,000. Total insurance, $4,000.
The following affecting lines are copied
from an English life-insurance pamphlet,
entitled Thinks for the Thoughtful" We
consider them suggestive:
When poor pa died and went to heaven,
What grief mamma endured!
But all that grief was soon assuaged,
For pa he was insured:
And when ma went there-O, how funny
The Office paid her all the money.

The American Newspaper Reporter
gets up some very sensible concelts
about advertising. as witness the fol.
lowing.
Judicious advertising always pays.
If YOU have a good thing, advertise
it. If you haven't, don't.
IF You don't mean to mind your own
business, it will not pay to. advertise.
Never run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him do his owl
advertising.
It's as true of advertising as of any
thing else in the world-if it is worth
doing ut all it is worth doing well,
You can't eat enough in m week to
last a whole year. and you can't adver
tise on that plan either.
A large advertisement once, an(
then discontinued, creates the impress
sion that the mar has failed.

How TO walk the streets.

First-Keep to the right as the law
directs. This would cause the walkers
to keep on the opposite extremes of the
pavement, leaving a vacancy between
them, to be used by those going in either
direction, who desire to pass those II:
front, and as soon as one shall have
passed, to fall in line Of those proceeding
in the same direction.
Second-In passing take care not to
brush against those who are thus being
passed.
Third-Follow the jockey rule in this,
as in No. 2, and take care in passing to
keep up the gait until you shall be so far
ahead Of whoever you pass, that IN turn
ing into line you will not interfere with
any one, causing him either to stop or to
slacken his pace. On the race course a
violation of either Nos 2 or 3 would for
