Great Fire IN Harrisburr.--st

Great Fire In Harrisburg.--Shortly after
one o'clock on Thursday afternoon, fire
broke out in the Harrisburg Car Works,
and entirely consumed the valuable build
ings and all the machinery. auo WoW nl
The origin Of the fire was on the roof of
the shops, about twenty feet from the north
end of the building. An effort was made
to save the building by means of hose be-
longing TO the establishment; but the at
tempt was vain, owing to an insufficient
force of water. A bucket was then brought
into requisition, but the smoke and flames
soon drove the brave fellows from their
purpose, and the cracking, Kissing flames
spread in all directions, tapping up the
combustible material on all sides.
There were employed in the works about
$50 permanent hands. These men rushed
frantically to and fro in search of tool
chests, clothing and other effects; and
many of them had hardly time to get out of
the way of the avalanche of fame and
smoke, which, being impelled by the strong
wind and fed by large quantities of COM
bustible material, was spreading over the
entire length of the imposing and doomed
building, from the North to the South end.
Some of the employees of the company
succeeded in moving out of the building
eight or ten new cars, while five or six were
left to perish in the flames. lNLft
The loss of the Company it is supposed
will be over 100000. The origin of the
fire is thought to have been from a spark
from the shifting engine. The Company
gives notice that they will at once com
mence rebuilding, and notifies their hands
that they will furnish them all employment
at their other works on the HILL During
the time the fire was raging, the passing
trains, were somewhat scorched, in pass
ing through the heat and smoke, the main
front of the burning buildings being along
the railroad track.

4 Mr.. Editor. Knowing the influence of
the Press" l would ask you to call the at
tention of the public to the danger of allow
ing horses and colts to run at large on the
public highway. In Perry County, no less
than four days ago l, with part of my fam
lily, was travelling n distance of not over ten
miles and twice within that distance l had
to get out of my buggy, lead my beast and
whip off half grown horses left to run at
large on the public road. This is little
too much trouble to subject travellers to on
a public highway. And it is an annoyance
traveller should not be subjected to. HUI
man life is too sacred thing to be trifled
with in this way, and some one ought to
pay as much damage as ten colts would be
worth and thereby learn n lesson which
would teach farmers living along the public
highway that they must not crafty their
own laziness or carelessness at the risk of
the lives of the travelling public.

How We Used to be rhysickcd.

Who does not remcmbcr the time when
spring purgation was considered indespen-
siblc to summer health? No matter for
wrv faces the inevitable salts and SIENNA,
rhubarb, or calomel and jalnp. must hc adj
miniStcred. These ''SprinS medicines, the
youngsters We're told, were to keep them
hale and hearty during the summer. We
all know now that this was Il tnlacN; that
ed at the commencement of tho summer
Solstice. As II preparation for the enerN;l-
ting'ettects of oppressive summer weather,
Il course of lIoStetterS Stomach BittcrS is
highly expedient. This famous vegetable
preparation has three prominent proper
ties: 1t renovates, purities and regulates
all the functions of the body. 1t is COM
posed exclusively of pure vegetable pro-
ductions, viz: the essential principle of
Monongahela Rye, and the most etticacious
tonic and Alternative roots, barks, and
gums known to medical botansts. Hence
it is an absolutely safe medicine, and no
tincture of the Pharnlacopo,ia can compare
with it either in purity, or in the variety OF
its objects, and it's comprehensive results.
Happily for mankind, the theory that it
WAS necessary to PROSTATE patient i'll Or
der to euro him, is forever exploded, and
the true philosophical doctrine, that rigor
is the great antagonist of disease, has taken
it's place. Hostetter's Bitters is invig
for the feeble at this most trying season of
the year.
BE sure that you obtain the genuine arti-
Gle. as there are innumerable Vilo INIT ationS
in the market. Look to the ornamental
stamp, the engraved label, and the nalnc
blown into the glass. HOstctter'S Stomach
Bittcrs is sold i'll bottles only.

4 Determined Suicide.

At about noon yesterday Il very de-
plorablc case Of sclf-dcstruction occurred
on Carondelct street. "A gentleman
named Adolph Pincoin passed through
the premises No. rs Carondclct street,
where he was well acquainted, and
went to the rear. Very soon after Il
shot was heard and cries of "help-
help.'' a clerk ran up stairs and found
Mr.. Pincoin lying on the back gallery,
with blood flowing from Il wound in
his left breast, where, he acknowledged,
he had shot himself. He was put in
the room, on Il bed, by the clerk men
toned, and another clerk, who came
to his assistance. One started for II
surgeon and, while he was away, the
wounded man, by asking the other to
go for Il drink of water, procured his
absence. AS he was returning he heard
another shot. 1urrying up stairs he
saw the unfortunate man lying on the
gallery again, his head and face covered
with blood and, without speaking an
other word, he died in "a few seconds.
| The last shot was in the head. Both
wounds were mortal. The weapon used
was II c-barreled derringer. II was
