FIEE.-0n Tuesday afternoon, of last
week. the washhouse, woodshed, and
smokehouse, all under one roof, Of Mr.. Ad.
Bartges, about II miles south of Aarons-
burg, were destroyed by fire. Mr.. Bart
ges' meat was afterwards found not to
be much injured. These buildings stood
between the house and barn, and but a
few yards distant from either, and on
iy the prevailing calm saved them from
taking fire. which was very fortu-
nate, as the slightest wind would have
caused the distraction Of all the buildings
rpoa the premises. The fire originated
from Goals Of the oven.

K good neighbor, the Mlfflinburg
1s4slegraph, is sorely grieved at our
saying that town consisted Of but one
dirty street. Well to stop the 1ele.
grapha tears, we'll take that back. but
in its pla:ntiye retort, its "Chestnut
street above sixth, has grown to "five
East and West streets and North, and
South up to Eighth" "Up to
Eighth" that's aUOrser and l0orser.
We have now come to think, neighbor,
that Miflinburg is extensively laid out,
cussed thinly built.

lCORR
We wish to say to our Democratic
Friends in Democratic townships,t that
they need not put on airs when they
meet a jaded Democrat form this
place, for, now and henceforth Hiram
is Democratic township. The office
of Justice of the Peace went begging
at the late election. Although the
Democrats had majority, and a large
number of Republicans were anxious
to vote for Democrat for that office,
yet none could be found to take it.
Consequently, r. M. Hank was re-
elected without opposition.
The dry weather continues, causing
great damage to wheat, which mnst,
or will, be nearly ruined should WIN
ter set in without warm rains. The
drouth, however has been most favor
able for potato digging, and the farm
ers have improved the opportunity,
and the crop is nearly gathered and in
first rate condition. Mr.. James Young
has raised, on Abner Harris farm,
fifteen peachblow potatoes that weigh
little over half bushel. Two po-
tatoes weigh four pounds twelve oun-
ces. Abner claims that nobody can
compete with him unless they pay the
printer as promptly as he does--that
is to say, always in advance.
This place has been canvassed for
supplies for the sufferers by the fire
fend, and the people have responded
literally. Last Saturday several large
boxes filled with necessaries were
shipped to the Michigan sufferers.

sitting ON stool in front of the eladles,
and had but little control of the fright

into the fence corner. The horse had
made but few jumps before the bug
gy struck some object which upset it,

before assistance reached them, and it

NIGHT PoLICE.--In compliance with
a petition numerously signed by our
citizens, the Council held meeting at
the Office of the Mayor at 2 o'clock,
on Friday afternoon last, and resolved
to employ three special policemen to
patrol the streets at night to guard
against fires and to perform general
police duties. This arrangement is
but temporary, the force being en-
ployed but for one month, but it lis
the purpose of the Council before the
expiration of the time to make pro-
visions for a permanent and efficient
police force. This is move in the
right direction, and one in which the
Council will be backed by every citi-
zen of Ravenna. ~

CORRESPONDENCE
Good weather and good crops have
caused our people to stay at home
minding their own business, so that a
local item of important news could
not be picked up in the length and
breadth of our township for the past
month.
On Sabbath last, Rev. Mr.. White, of
Ravenna, of the Disciples, preached
in the Town Hall, before a large and
attentive audience, on the subject of
Christian Goodness, as exemplified in
the life of Barnabas. His diecourse
was replete with lessons of practical
importance to the human race, and
they were enforced with an earnest
ness and power, that must have car
ried conviction of their truth. to the
minds of the most of his hearers
Our Orthodox friends are fast drop
ping those antiquated dogmas of a
superstitious and by-gone age, and
are gradually receiving the gospel of
the new dispensation.
The Disciples new church will soon
be ready for occupancy, as it is now
receiving the last touches of the
painters skill.
The Catholic church building at the
Station is now rapidly approaching
completion, being ready for plastering
this week. A cupola has been added,
which improves its appearance very
much.
A large number of new structures
have been erected in this town during
the present season, full list of which
will be given in future correspondence
The Election in this town which re-
suited so disastrously to the Demo-
Gratis, has taught them lesson which
we hope will be read with profit in
the future. Their past success had
begotten such confidence in their
strength that perfect Indifference and
a lack of vigilance was. plainly mani
tested during the late canvass, among
large portion of the voters, and the
result was not unexpected. The Rad
ical vote was out ill full strength as
usual, while about forty stay at home
Democrats suffered the party and
their friends to sustain disgraceful
defeat. AS liberty is only purchased
and maintained by eternal vigilence, a
lazy lukewarm and Indifferent voter
deserves to be made slave and gov
ernsd only by despots will. If the
present condition and future pros
poets of our country fail to arouse a
man to sense of his duty as a citizen
and induce him to cast his vote on one
side or the other, he is a freeman no
longer and will tanely submit to any
imposition which may be practiced
upon him-at any rate he should cease
to be grumbler, finding fault. with
conditions which do not suit him, but
should accept the situation, and let
others work for his interests without
hindering them or getting in their
way.
The official term of Office of Henry
Cobb, Esq, as Justice of the Peace,
having expired, the election resulted
in his reelection for another term.

WE understand that the people OF
Kent are moving in the matter of fur
nishing relief to the sufferers by the
Western fires. $500 have been con-
tributed by the employees of the rail
road shops. On Sabbath Rev. Mr..
Davis preached in Christ's Church
a contribution was taken up, and SO
realized. Four large boxes of sup
plies have already been forwarded.
On Mondyy eveninga meeting OF
the citizens was held to take action in
the matter.

Having been so fully occupied in waiting up
on their customers that they find time now only
to say, not that they have received. as usual, a
large and well selected assortmentof
Fall and Winter Goods,
but that this assortment was duly received and
has been so nearly sold out that second supply
has been ordered and is now on the road from
the East and that one of the firm will in few
days, leave for New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia, to fill up their handsome rooms to the
caves and sidewalks, with all the materials for
an active and successful
Fall and Winter Campaign. r-
SMITH BROS. avail themselves of their frs
hour of leisure in the temporary Stacking up
trade in election week, to tender their hearty
thanks to the people of Portage and adjoining
counties for the extensive patronage so gene
rously given them by a discriminating public.
GOOD GOODS have had good customers, and the
sound principles of business which this young
firm has aimed to inaugurate have been sealed
with the marked appreciation of the public
They pledge to their friends, in the future the
unremitting efforts to please in the quality,
variety and extent of their stock of goods. and
to justify in all particulars THE GENERAL CON-
FIDENCE which they have already earned.
Smith Bros. sell goods for what they are. No
customer, OF WnaJeVr age anu experience, snail
ever have cause to complain of being deceived
They sell goods for a SMALL but SURE PROFIT !;
nothing under cost and nothing at exorbitant
figures to meet deficiencies created by bad debts.
Cash approved credit can command anything
they have at the slight advance upon cost which
no reasonable customer could deny to them.
This rule has already yindicated its propriety
to the benefit alike of themselves and their GUS
toners.
AS usual, it is needless for Smith Bros. to fill
the columns of the papers with u minute cata-
Iogue of their stock. The PEOPLE KNOW that
they keep FULL line in all branches of the
trade, and don't care to read a detailed inven-
tory of calicos, ribbons, brass buttons or shoe
strings. That style of advertisements has been
played out for some time, except with the one-
horse concerns at the cross roads. Smith Bros
are simply prepared to meet every want of the
public, in every department of the trade.
They have now opened the Fall and Winter
campaign equipped and provisioned at every
point. and gratefully recognize in. their expert
ence of the past the most assuring omens of n
continuarsucces .raf
