C,Iy AIa,rs.


The e. dence in the Eisenbrown White
contest he J6een all taken and the committee
will now fake up its report.
Tho Democratic Convention of the Seven
.eenth Representative district met last night
in Frankford and nominated Henry w. Dit
man. His opponent is G. Howard Griffith.
An alarm of fire was caused at about
twenty minutes before 10 o'clock last night.
by the burning of large three-story brick
house, known as the Norris Mansion, owned
10y John Schaef-r, situated on York street,
between Third aud Fourth, opposite Oriana.
The building was occupied 10y four German
laborers, named Peter Marks, Charles Weiss.
Fred. Yeagcr, aud Philip Bukebor, with their
families. The upper stories and roof we're en-
tirely burned out and their occupants lost all
their goods either by fire or water. Tle free
originated in the apartments occupied by
Philip Rukeber, who states that he left his
Kerosene lamp burning "a little" when he
went out before o'clock. None of
the occupants of the building we're insured.
The owner, Mr.. Schaefrer, is out of the city,
so that il was impossible to ascertain as to
his insurance. The loss will be about $500
to the building, besides that suffered by the
inmates.
Tho report of the Grand Scribe was sub
nitied to The Grand Lodge Of Knights of
Pythias yesterday afternoon. 1t is as fol-

THE FEAR OF DEArs, ny LORD BACON.
Men fear death, as children fear to
go 10 the dark; and as the natural fear
in children is increased with tales, so is
the other. Certainly, the contemplation
OF death, as the wages OF sin and the
passage to another world, is holy and
religious; but the fear of it, as q tribute
due unto nature, is weak. Yet, 10 re-
ligious meditativns. there is sometimes
mixture of vanity aud Of superstition
You shall read 10 some of the friars
books of modification, that n man should
think with himself what the pain is it
he have but his fingers ends pressed or
tortured, and thereby imagine what the
pains OF death are when the whole body
is corrupted aud Dissolved; when many
times death passeth with less pain than
the torture Of a limb; for the most vital
parts are not the quickest Of sense.
And by him that spake only as a philo-
sopher and natural man, it was we'll said:
THE pomp of death is more feared than
death itself" Groans and convulsions,
and discolored face, and friends weep.
ing, aud blacks, and obsequies, and the
like, show death terrible.
1t is worthy the observing, that there
is no passion in the mind of man so
weak but it mates aud masters the fear
of death; and therefore death is no
such terrible enemy, when man hath
so many attendants about him than can
win the combat of him. Revenge tri-
umpls over death; love Sights it; honor
aspireth to it; grief fieth to it; fear
preoccupieth it; nay, we read, after
Otho the Emperor had slain himself,
pity, which is the tenderest of affec-
tions, provoked many to die, out Of mere
compassion to their sovereign, and as the
truest sort OF followers. 1t is as
natural to die as to be born; and to
little infant, perhaps. the one is as pain
full as the other. He that dies in On
earnest pursuit is like one that is woun-
ded in hot blood; who, for the time,
scarce feels the hurt, and therefore a
mind fixed and bent upon somewhat that
is good doth avert the dolors o! death:
but, above all, believe it, the sweetest
cantice is: "Lord, now lettest thou thy
servant depart IN peace"

If one field of farmer proves un-
fruitful, he does not apply himself to
the Improvement of his whole farm, but
to that particular field. If merchant
finds that one particular branch of his
business shows a leakage, he does not
say, must improve all departments OF
my business to make up Tor this, but he
examines and applies the remedy for
that particular branch. And this CON-
nonsense rule should govern all our re-
ligious affairs. If our life is faulty and
needs reforming, we should endeavor to
find just where and what the faults are,
and then "break off our sins by right
eousness," or all our sorrow over past
deficiencies, and all our purposes to i'm
prove, will avail nothing.

SAD AID FATAL ACCIDENTAL most sad
and fatal catastrophe occurred near Nor
thumberland on Saturday forenoon last,
resulting in the sudden death Of Edward
s., youngest son of G. Wainwright, ESQ,
Of Dents Run, Elk county. The young
man was in the vicinity Of Northumbcr-
land, looking after couple of RATS which
his father had tied up there waiting for
writer to run them to market, and to pass
away the time, as is supposed, he went up
on to Blue hill, steep, rocky promontory
projecting out into the river. After climb
ing some distance, he, by some mishap,
lost his balance and was precipitated about
thirty feet into the shallow water below.
He was seen to fall, by some persons n
short distance of, who fastened to the spot,
only to find him lying dead in the water,
which was about two feet in depth. He

Holly Tree Inn,

In the midst of a row of fourishing
liquor shops, on a street communicating
directly with the country, "a lady opened
cheap coffee room, where the coffee is
of the very best. She hung in the
window few illuminated cards, which
in simple rhymes say:
"Good coffee within
Is better than gin,"
or in some similar way good-raturedly
enforcing the same truth. The Holly
Tree also provides tea, chowder, soup
cold ham, sandwiches, and bread and
butter, all of the very best, and at the
lowest price. And because there has
been popular prejudice that poor peo-
pie do not know what is good, the Holly
Tree, tries, by one bold experiment,
whether it be possible that this preju-
dice is unfounded
1t proves that it is wholly unfounded.
The Holly Tree, at every visit We have
made to it, is full of laboriug men, glad
to get dinner at reasonable rates, and
saved from the temptation of unneces-
sary stimulus. TO our readers in the
West, there may appear nothing extra
ordinary in the prices, but way-faring-
men in the East know that cup of
first-rate coffee for five cents, or bowl
of good soup or good chowder at the
same rate, is not an everyday luxury.
The Young Women's Association has
provided similar fare for working-wo.
men in Boston; bus Boston has known
no such luxury for working-men till
now.
A subsidiary advantage is in the issue
of tickets by the Holly Tree as by other
eating houses. Few people want to re-
fuse food to a beggar who asks. No
person ought to give such a beggar
money. Two or three Holly Tree
tickets secure him the meals he needs;
and you are sure you have not made Il
brute of him in your charity.
We learn that the success of the
Holly Tree is already suggesting similar
establishments in other parts of Boston.
We commend the experiment to men
and women of spirit elsewhere who
want to ''look out and not in" and ITO
leud a hand. ."-[Old and New.
