A BREAKER BuRNED.--Ou Sunday night last
the Caledonia coal breaker, at Mt. Carmel, be-
longing to Mcssrs. Michael Swenk 81 Althousc,
was entirely consumed by fire. The loss falls
heavily upon the owners, as the insurance on the
property amounted to only $4,000. The fire was
no doubt the work OF an incendiary, and it Is
strongly intimatcd that conspiracy has been
formed to DESTROY property in that locality,
Every effort should be made to bring the often
dcrs to Justice.

THE Fourth Anniversary Of Washington
Camp, Nc. 10, p. o. s. OF A., on Friday evening
of last week was attended by the elite of our
place. The music BY the sunbury Cornet Band
on the occasion, was well appreciated, and the
exercises of the evening were of the most pleas
ing character. The opening address Of Dist.
Pres't, w. p. Miller, giving historical sketch of
the organization and progress Of the Order, was
listened to with marked attention. The address
by James Wilson, Esq, OF Harrisburg, was
more than ordinarily Interesting, and was highly
appreciated by the audience. The refreshments
were superb, aud every Que admired the manner
in which the room and tables were decorated
with wreaths flags and flowers. Altogether it
was one of the largest as well as the most plea
SAINT gatherings we have seen in this place for
long time. The young men who compose Camp
No. 10, are deserving Of much dit for the
agreeable and satisfactory manner in which they
got up SO pleasing an entertainment for the pub
lie. All who were present will look forward to
their next anniversary with pleasure.
