Bounty.

We see it stated that the House OF
Representatives at Washington, has
adopted a bounty bill so amended to
extend the bounty of one hundred dol
lars to soldiers wherever mustered in
previous to August 8, 1861. This will
be an interesting fact to those soldiers
who in the early days of the war-with-
out promise or hope of bounty-en-
rolled themselves among the nations
defenders, and, with patriotic faithful
ness, performed the duties of the camp
or entered into the dangers of the field.

New Furniture Rooms.

We stepped into the new furniture
rooms of Taylor & Sharpth other day
and were surprised and pleased to see
what large and handsome lot of fur

already large assortment and
have more coming. Their bureaus are
handsome, their -bedsteads likewise,
chairs of every description, to suit all.
Their lounges, rocking chairs, tables

finished. We advise all to call and sec

Fire.

The stirring notes of the old Court
House bell warned the citizens of our
town about o'clock p NJ. on Thursday
last, that a fire was raging somewhere
within the limits of the corporation. 1t
was soon known that the Presbyterian
church was on fire, and in 4 few min
utes hundreds of people had gathered
there TO stop the progress of the flames.
Theengine was promptly on the ground,
but owing to the dilapidated condition
of the hose, and for other reasons per-
haps, it was considerable time before
any effective work could be done. The
citizens with buckets, tubs, &C., did ex-
cellent service in protecting the sur
rounding buildings. Mr.. A. Sprankle's
house which stood within fifteen feet of
the church, being frame building, and
old, was with great difficulty saved. 1t
was only by the most persistent efforts
that the fire was kept off. B. c. Browns,
Judge Reeds, DIR. Pomerene's and sew
eral other houses and stables were on
fire at different times, catching from
sparks. Had the wind been stronger
or in the opposite direction, there is no
telling where it might have ended. The
most of the church furniture was saved.
The bell melted into two parts and
dropped TO the ground floor, with pc
culiar sound. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the flue which
perhaps had become overheated or de-
fective. The Sexton had made fires
about half an hour previous, in order to
warm up the house for evening service.
A series of meetings were in progress,
which were transferred to the Methodist
and Lutheran church. The congrega-
tion will worship for the time being in
the Lutheran churches, that eongrega-
ton being now without a pastor. Steps
have been taken towards erecting new
house, as will be seen In another, col
umn. We hope that every one viii be
aroused to his sense of duty in contrib
uting largely of his means to this good
cause. Good churches speak well for a
community. ...........t1

A True Remark.

The Pittsburgh Commercial justly re-
marks that advertising as a means OF
prosperity is not as well understood as
it should be. 1t is fact that no one
who has advertised literally and sys-
tematically has felt like disputing that
it was the best spent money he ever put
into his business. As horse was ney-
er made fat by a single bpshel OF oats,
SO single advertisement is never a
perfect test of the benefits of advertis-
ing

The shuttle, riding in its carrier, is subject
to no wear. and the friction of ''race" is
avoided. Tho tensions admit of such nice ad-

that one of the great difficulties met with IN

is adjustable SO that it will work with equal ia

A Large Crowd,

On the 3rd, 4th and 9TH of each month,
can be seen 4 continual going in and
out at the American Hotel, in Wooster,
and strangers and those not acquainted
with the facts, are generally attracted
and wish to know the cause, when they
are always informed by those who
know that DR.. Jones the Blind Doctor,
is stopping there on those days to at
tend to and cure those who are afflicted
in any way by disease. He is the only
doctor that has yet succeeded in the
cure of asthma, and he pays special at
tention to that rs well us all chronic
diseases and Female Complaints. All
who are afflicted in any way should call
at the above hotel on the 3rd, 4th & 9TH
of April next. Go the first day, and
do not wait till the last. Remember his
charges are very reasonable and if he
thinks you can't be cured he will say
so. Iw

A Fact.

Stewart, the great merchant prince of
New York, says that man who does
not pay as much for advertising his
business during the year, as he does for
rent, does not understand his business.
Experience has taught such men the
value Of advertising.

How TO BEAUTIFY Your RooMs.-The
first condition of success in furnishing
either large or small room is that
there must be no over-crowding. This
is absolute. When outline is lost, beau
ty, as a matter of fact, is lost also. We
must all know many drawing-rooms in
which, perhaps, the worth and beauty
of each individual thing is indisputable,
on entering which the first thing that
strikes one is a sense of incon9ruity.
What might have been an art collection
is degraded to the level of an old curios-
ity shop. Most women are born with a
love of beauty. But generally, unless
this love is cultivated and trained, it
runs to waste, and fritters itself away
upon small things. Women go into
shop and hover over a counter for an
hour, engrossed in the purchase OF fifty
minute things, each one of which is
pretty enough in itself if taken up IN the
hand ard inspected; but not one of
which can be defined at a distance of
two yards, and not one of which repays
the trouble of the minute inspection.
These are packed away in shining cabi-
nets that are blazing with ormulu SCROLL
work, on spindle-legged what-nots that
seem to be designed for no other earth
ly purpose than to be knocked down at
brief intervals, and on mantle-pieces
that confuse ones vision and muddle
ones brain during the long periods
when the need of being near the fire tor
ces one to face them. 1t is better and
higher system of economy to buy two OF
three good bronzes or marbles, on which
the eye can always rest with pleasure,
than to spend ten times the sum on
heterogeneous mass of the parti-colored
rubbish which many accumulate, :" In
order," they call it, ''to take off the max
ed look of their ROOM Better the max
ed look ten thousand times than the
false decorations.

A DIsGRAcEFUL ScENE.-On Monday,
at midday, three drunken squaws came

them fell upon the sidewalk and lay
there in helpless condition until the
proprietor assisted by another. removed
her from the public gaze to the back
room of his den Such obscene and
lawless scenes as this are of almost dali
ly occurrence in less exposed portions
of the city, and ON Sundays the shouts
of drunken Indians, sqaaws and debas-
Ell whites, for blocks away, penetrate
the homes of the qniet citizens and even
the sanctuaries of religion.

communities, men are Sent to the peni-

civilization, We are denounced, threaten
ed, our business relations interfered
with, pledge circulated for signatures
to stop business relations with every
man who takes our paper OF advertlses

because we have dared to protest against
such outrages to the laws and public
decency! Lawlessness and debauchery
openly vaunt their power and challenge

Business and valuable population is be-
ing driven from our town; property de-
preciated in value; the safety and we'll
being of community jeoparded by the
immunity conceded to public vice, and
insolently demanded by the vicious.
How long will our law-abiding citizens
suffer this horrible state Of things to

"ABUsE OF GAEFIEDE. The Courier
still continues to harp upon the sabuse
of Garfelde" 1t says: Mr.. Gar
tielde has, perhaps, been the victim Of
more vile abuse than any other Con-
gressional candidate in the country
The truth is, that it is very rare that
any Congressional canvass is carried
on with less personal vituperation than
the one just passed in this Territory.
The only journal which has been an ex-
eeption to this rule is the Courier itself;
the single one which has INDUCED in
vituperative language and scandalous
inuende. Neither Judge McFadden,
nor any newspaper in his interest, al
luded to the private character or per-
sonal habits of Mr.. Garfelde-as vulner-
ble as they both are--while the Courier
daily charged with the coarsest billings
gate, thrown at Judge McFadden and
his supporters. 1t is puerile and cow
ardly for that paper now to assume vir-
tuous indignation at what was its chief
characteristic during the canvass and
still kept up in national politics. If the
Courier could not be vituperative 1t could
not be anything.

HARD on BEAcH.-Surveyor General
Beach quietly stole away from Olympia
a few days before the election, only
those in the secret knowing where he
had gone. 1t is now known that he
went to Utsalady and chartered the
steamer Fayorite to transport voters
from San Juan and the Orcas Islands
to some polling place IN Whatcem
county. He succeeded in loading his
steamer with over a hundred men, all
intending to vote for Garfelde, but
before reaching the main land a storm
came up and the steamer was forced to
put into cove in one of the islands for
safety, and lie there until after the cleo
ton. The feelings of Bro. Beach dur
ing that awful delay can be better i'm
agined then described. This is not his
first miss-go near the British Columbia
line.
