THyHE McPHEETERS' PATENT Wa
Il ter Elevator and Carrier-A con-
trivance for conveying water from spring up
an elevation is no new thing. In fact, many
such inventions have operated successfully.
In putting the above machine before the pub
lie we claim for it the still greater merit that it
will also accomplish the far more difficult ope-
ration of first lifting the water from well of any
depth, and then conveying it up an elevation to
the house.
It is equally adapted to lifting material from
mines and conveying TO the place of deposit;
for lifting hay from wagon with the addition
of hay fork and dUpositing in the NOW, and
for any other operation where heavy weights are
to be raised and carried
To persons living elevated situations it is
an Invaluable continuance, supplying an album
dance of fresh water from distance, with COM
paratively little outlay of time and labor.
The machines are manufactured for us, at
present, by Eyler, Cooper & Co., of Staunton
Va, who are prepared to fill orders promptly

Loss By FIRE.-At half past y clock on
Friday night last, our citizens were aroused by
the startling cry of fire. It was caused by the
discovery that the building the railroad be-
tween the old and present depot, owned by Mes
srs Hendry & Bro, and used by Messrs. FL. j.
Lushbaugh & Bro, as Sash and Blind Facto.
~, was on fire. Before the Fire Company could
get there, the fire had made such progress that
it was impossible TO arrest it and save the build
ings and contents, and the large quantity of
lumber that was there.
The three buildings, consisting of that which
contained the factory, the lumber room, and the
Office. were destroyed These buildings, togeth-
err with the engine and boiler, were the property
of Messrs Hendry s. Bro. Their loss is estima-
ted at about s., 900 upon which they had an in
surance of S., 500. They were so fortunate as to
have renewed their insurance policy only few
days before.
Unfortunately for Messrs. Il. J. Lushbaugh
s. Bro, their insurance policy expired on the
28th, and their valuable property, consisting of
costly machinery and a large quantity Of iumber)
supposed to be worth So, 900, was destroyed On
the night of the 30th ult, or, more accurately,
on the morning of the LIST instant. These worthy
and enterprising citizens have the sympathy of
the community in their misfortune and serious
loss. The loss suffered by individuals who had
lumber there to be worked UP we have no means
of ascertaining with any degree of certainty
About 5000 feet of flooring plank just dressed for
use the property of Mr.. NJ L. Robbett the con-
tractor for building the new Presbyterian church,
were destroyed. This may delay somewhat the
completion of that building. The destruction
Of this valuable factory is loss which will affect
more or less the whole community,
1t is fortunate that the weather at the time o,
the fire was 50 calm, for if it had been windy.
the probability is that other valuable property
would have been destroyed. As it was, there
was great danger. At one time the roof of the
shed of the stables of Hon. A. II, II. Stuart
though at least $50 or geo yards distant from the
burning factory building, was discovered to be
on fire; but fortunately the discovery was made
in time to have it extnguished before it did any
damage.
The sufferers by this fire request us TO return
their thanks to the Fire Company for the servi-
ces rendered on that occasion.

\ Domestic STORY An editor SAYS:
An aunt OF ours concluded to try the cf-
feet Of pleasant smile and kind word
upon her husband when he returned
from work. She had read how 4 home
should be pleasant, and the wife should
always meet her husband with a ioyfnl
smile. The success she met with is
best given in the shape OF dialogue:

and is glad to see him.
