Serious Fire and Loss Of Life.

A fire occurred in Boston on last Thurs
day which resulted in the loss of four lives
and the wounding of over twenty persons.
The fire broke out in mattress factory
and the innatnmable material caused the
rapid progress of the flames. Sixteen girls
were at work in the fourth story, who,
with the exception of one reached an ad-
joining roof and were rescued. At eleven
o'clock the walls seemed strong, and sever
al firemen on ladders were directing water
on the Hanover street side of the building,
when the spectators were appalled, to see
the upper portion sway and fall outwards,
carrying with them the ladders and score

For the Bloomfield Times.
RICH, ANDERSON Co., KAN,
February 10. 1878.


Mr. Editor.-After long silence will
again send you a line or two. The winter
here has been pretty cold with considerable
snow, but not much at time. The deep
est did not exceed inches, but it almost
invariably drifts here. The L. L. g. G.
Railroad was blockaded with snow by the
great snow in January, but in two days
after tine trains were running again.
Crops here last season were most abun-
dant with the exception Of wheat). Corn
at harvest time was dull, selling at 15cts
per bushel. 1t is proverbial that some men
cannot bear riches, it is equally true that
some farmers cannot bear a large crop, as
an over yield causes them to be wasteful.
In gathering if an ear happens to miss the
wagon they do not take the trouble to pick
it up, consoling themselves with the re-
mark, that, corn is plenty. Few western
farmers gather the corn clean and some
few are criminally wasteful. have re-
ceived several letters from persons living
in Perry Co., asking "can you raise sweet
potatoes in Kansas? ?" to which / will re-
ply with an item from the Kansas Fdrmer,
published at Leavenworth.
"Mr. M. Kenyon of Leavenworth county,
Kansas has raised a very large crop Of
sweet potatoes. A neighbor writes that
the whole crop will average 81 lbs. Out of
bushels sold to dealer one bushe was
picked out and returned as too large for the
trade"
Last spring, l started little nursery Qor
my own use) of fruit and forest trees. The
following are the growths they have made
in one season, they will be one year old
this spring. Cottonwood, from cutting 5 to
Oft and 6 inches, Lombardy poplar, from
cutting, A to 7ft and inches; Golden will
low, from cuttings Aft; Catalpa, from cut
tings, 19 inches Soft Maple, from seed,
3 to 6ft and inches Elm, from seed 3ft
and inches Chestnut, from seed Oft
Walnut, from seed lift; Peach, from seed
Aft ; Apple, from seed eft Cherry from
seed 1S inches Concord grape, from cut
ting, to Oft. have over 5000 fruit and
forest trees, besides an orchard of 1876
choice apple trees years old, and so peach
trees years old. If this proves good
fruit year will have all the peaches l can
make use of. Last season peaches sold
from 20cts to So. per bushel according to
quality. If a man makes the right start
here he will not be long without timber as
he can soon grow it ON his own farm, and
just where he wants it too. Since the 2nd
of Feb. we are having very fine weather,
and farmers VIII be plowing in few days
If it continues pleasant. There was con-
siderable cotton raised here last season, and
am very well pleased with it and shall
raise more this coming season than did
last. Peanuts are also raised by many,
shall plant some this season as they mature
perfectly in this soil. Last season l sowed
a little fiaxseed and it also does remarkably
we'll in Kansas soil and in fact have never
seen better fax than had, though SOW,
ed it for the seed only. Yours truly,
B. +. REIBER.

Juniata COunty.-From the Mifflintown
papers of last week we copy the following
On Wednesday of last week William
Bargey, aged about II years, son of Mr.
Enos Bargey, of Fermanagh township,
while engaged in cutting down timber in
q wood, short distance from his fathers
residence, received an ugly cash in the left
side by being struck with an axe, which
was thrown to him by John Bargey, a
brother, at his request, who was standing
about 20 feet away from him. The wound
inflicted was about eight inches in length.
DIR. Banks, of this place, was summoned
to render the proper aid His wound is of
a dangerous character and he has had sew
eral hemhorages since the accident, but we
learn that he is doing as well as could be
expected.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Jacob Thom-
as, Sr., of Fermanagh township, was found
dead on the road near his home. He had
been attending public sale about one mile
from his residence, and was returning home,
when he was suddenly overtaken by the
grim monster, death. 1t is supposed he
died of heart disease. He was in the Goth
year of his age.
The public road between Mifflintown and
the cemetery was filled with huge piles of
snow, and there being no effort made to
open up the same, one of the Supervisors
of Walker township was arrested and bound
over for his appearance at Court, for ne
glecting or refusing to do his duty as a
public officer. After his arrest he employ
ed men and went to work opening up the
thoroughfare, but as fast as they opened it
up, it drifted full again. They were finally
compelled to abandon it and open pas.

funerals to go down to the cemetery.

Hand in Newport, took fire from defec-

Hand was absent from home and neither

much Of the personal property, which was
