Great Fire at TiHn.

On Saturday afternoon last, about half past
two o'clock, a fire broke out in our neighbor-
ing city of Tifin, which came nearly proving
Chicago for it. The wind was blowing
perfect hurricane, and the fire spread with
such rapidiry that in half an hour after the
alarm was sounded, from twenty to thirty
houses were on fire, and the seething flames
were roaring with remorseless fury and reach
ing out after more prey. The fire originated
i'll McNeal's grocery, and notion store, near the
engine house in the second ward. The wind
blowing from the southwest, carried the
flames and sparks across to the opposite cor
ner, and from thence in q northeast direction
until the fire crossed the railroad track and
reached down to the rivers side beyond,
sweeping away in few hours two business
houses, thirty-fve dwellings, stave factory,
and about forty barns and outbuildings.
On the day following the fire, we passed over
the ground and found it a scene of utter de-
struction, scarcely anything of a combustible
character having been left in the track of the
devouring element.
Where the fire crossed the railroa d track
was the turning point, and the fire department
and citizens concentrated all their efforts there
to prevent the destruction of the old depot and
the sash factory adjoining. Several times
they were on fire ON the roofs, but by almost
superhuman efforts the flames were extin-
guished, and the property saved. Had the
fire gained a footing there, the loss of the
main business part of town must have fol-
lowed, as it would have then been brought
within the direct course of the fire, but fortu-
nately the fire was stayed at this point, and
the city saved from a calamity which would
have been fearful. The loss, for the extent of
territory burned over, and the character of
buildings, &c, destroyed, seems to US to have
been estimated much below the real loss. II
is stated at 100000 but we think will reach
nearly double that amount, as but little was
saved from the devouring flames. Insurance
only about $4,000. On Sunday evening the
churches held union services at City Hall, for
the purpose of raising funds, provisions, &C.,
for the relief of the sufferers, and enough was
4dl9ou 4OA present HeCess1Iles' from tAlrty-
five to forty families were rendered homeless
and required assistance.
Previous to the fire in the city, we under.
stand that fire broke out in barn, several
miles out of town, belonging to a man named
Coonrod, and that the sparks were carried
through the air to an adjoining farm, destroy.
ing residence, and barn in which some
1900 bushels of wheat were stored, with other
grains. The loss involved is said to be SIO,-

The engineer recommends that one thousand
feet of new hose bo procured, and also that il
be of rubber, which is more durable and relia-
bic. Upon the subject of water he reports the
supply on the hills, on either side of the river
inadeauate-not sufficient to last ten minutes
in case of fire. To supply this deficiency, he
recommends the building Of a large reservoir
on Main Street, one near the Depot, one at the
corner of Wayne and Marketone on Cherry or
Sycamore Streets, and one on Elm Street near
Fulton. He also recommends the building of
a large reservoir on the east side Of the river
on Chestnut Street, with the repairing OF the
reservoirs already built, so as to make them
serviceable. For the lower part OF the clty,he
recommends the construction of reservoirs on
Front Street, at the corners OF Ewing, Bir-
chard Avenue, Garrison, Croghan, State and
Arch Streets, to be supplied with water from
the mill race, and to be connected one with
the other by tile. In preference to all this,
however. he recommends the Holly Water
System TO the the favorable consideration of
Council In view of the meager supply of
water to be had, the Chief Engineer urges
every citizen to use the greatest caution in re-
gard to fires, and hopes by care, in this respect,
to do away with much of the danger from
fire.
The report of the Mayor showed that he
had collected fines and licenses amounting to
sleS so, which were paid into the city treas
ury. The Mayer also made report as to the
sale of the government lands" that sl,755.S5
had been realized therefrom, of which S2sl,5O
was paid in cash, the balance in notes at one,
two and three years.
Council adjourned to meet on Thursday

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The True Grounds of Confidence,
Whence comes that firm relianee, that absolute
undoubting faith in the efficacy of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as a remedy for indigestion, bill
ious disorders, intermittent and remittent fe7ers
which notorously prevail in all parts of the United
Statesl This confidence has been growing for
twenty years, and it is still extending. 1t is not
the result of creduty; it has not been engendered
by any human device, but it is the spontaneous
and natural consequence of experience. What
people see daily going under their own eyes
they cannot question. When families in unhealthy
districts that resort to this wholesome vegetable
tonic, as a preventive, escape periodical fevers,
and their immediate neighbors, who neglect this
preeaution are prostrated by the disease how is it
possible that the phenomenon should be without
its lesson! In like manner when it Is seen that
obstinate cases of dyspepsia, Of liver complaint Of
constipation, of nervous weakness, and Of general
debility yield to the operation Of the famous rem
edy, how can even incredulity itself withhold its
endorsement EyeTitnesses of the of the salutary
effects OF the Bittsrs to be found in every civ
ilized settlement this continent. The thousands
upon thousands who owe their restoration TO
Sickness to its extraordinary Medicinal properties
are enthusiastic in its praise. The multItudes no
recommend it In neighbOrly way TO thier friends
and acquaintances, well those who make
public their estimate OF its virtues, are ALWAYS
ready to state their reasons for the faith that i IN
them They have all either felt or witnessed its
benefeent operations

A Sad Falling Quit is indeed sad
falling out when, after years of the closet int
imacy, the hair parts company with the head.
Fortunately the lamentable separation may be
easily prevented and the twain more closely
united than ever by timely and systematic
use of LYoN's KATHAIRoN, the most potent
invigorant of the hair and promoter of its
groth and beauty known TO modern pharmacy.
It completely obviates the dry and parched
condition of the roots OF the hair, which is pre-
hminary to its coming out, by supplying the
precise degree of moisture requisite to its pre-
servation in healthy state. It is the only
true dissolvent and evaporant of dandruff and
other impurities of the scalp, whose presence
is injurious to the hair. AS beautifer of the
head the Kathairon has no equal 1t not only
increases the quantity of the hair, but i'm
proves It's quality immediately, imparting a
lustrous appearance and silky texture which
are exceedingly attractive.

Right Smart.-Three young ducks, iv-
ing hereabouts, have been in the habit Of
sending unique orders, of which the following
is a copy, to druggists, and if successful in
getting the order filed, a little water mixed
with the alcohol, soon made whiskey. The al
cohol being "charged," at the store, was dirt
cheaT, there being no such person as w. II.
Reynolds, as they who filed the orders had
occasion to find out. The one below was sent
to Buckland's the other day, but smelling
rat" when the order was filed, the person
carrying it was followed to the river bank, and
the cheat discovered. They should have been
promptly arrested for obtaining goods under
false pretenees. If any OF the other druggists
have received similar orders, they may get an
idea Of how valuable the account is from these
facts. But read the order, which is a speci-
men brick:

Fire.-The present prospects seem to indi-
cate that the dread record of sweeping conAa-
gratons, is to be resumed this season. In this
vicinity fires have been raging in various sec
tons. On Saturday, fire started in the grass
in the Tucker neighbOrhood, and quite an ar
my of men, women and children were fighting
it nearly all day. Down the river, in the vi
cinity of Mr.. Joseph Clark's saw mill, the fire
was only prevented from reaching the mill, by
the most active efforts of the men in that vi
cinity. South of this city, on the farm of
BENZ. Lewis, several thousand rails were burn
ed, and quite tract of country burned over.
On Sunday the Catholic Cemetery was burned
Overland large portion of the fence destroyed.
In other localities fences have suffered to a
great extent. The ground is very dry, and
too great caution can not be used against start
ing fires, especially in the woods. Property
along the railroads should especially be care
fully watched, as tHSFe is great danger at the
present tiFe ffG6 igas5s n q locomotives. fa

Bowman, and situated on the pike about three
quarters of mile east of town, caught fire
from hue, it is supposed, and burned to the
ground, before assistance by tine department
/ was rendered. The fire broke out in the
southwest corner OF the main building, and a
terrific wind blowing from the west drove the
flames over the entire structure. Everything
in the house was burned except very few ar
ticles of furniture. Fortunately there were No
other buildings very near east of the ire, OF
they would have been consumed. A barn be-
longing to Mr.. ROsebaugh, twenty-five rods OF
more distant, caught fire from the sparks car
ried by the wind, but the fire was discovered
and put out We understand that the dwell
ling was partially insured. The loss of the
furniture and other articles will be severely
felt by Mr.. Bowman, who is a poor man and a
hard laborer.
