FIRE LAST NIGHT.
The Engines worked Well and the Prop
erty was Saved.


Nester day evening about 6 o'clock, or
little past, the alarm of fire again caused
quite an excitement among our people,
and the street in front of Ristine & Nays
furniture store, where the fire broke out,
was soon thronged with idle spectators as
well as busy firemen. The fire companies
all turned out in good time and did good
and effective service. The Reliance was
the first on the ground, if we have been
correctly informed, and was the first to get
water, after which some of the colored
companies followed suit but the pipemen
of Fountain Fire Co., No. l, or the steamer,
were the first to make an entrance in the
building. The cool daring of Messrs.
Schenk and Benziger has often been a
matter of comment, and they certainly ad-
ded much to their reputation of good fire.
men last night. The ~. &. Luttrelr'
worked admirably last night, and when,
in good working condition she is hard to
be surpassed, and so the fire soon had to
succumb under the combined efforts of the
different machines. The time 1t took to
get every thing in working order, before
any water was brought to bear upon the
fire, proved again that the fire depart
ment needs a more thorough organ
ization. No Drawer firemen can be
found than those comprising the
more systematic training to enhance their
effectiveness,
AS to the fire, the proprietors of the es-
Enlistment say they have not the least
idea as to its origin, as no one has been in
the basement, where it originated, with
fire. 1t seems, however that IL caught in
bed of shucks near the front, ana as there
were gratings across the pavement to admit
lighttinto the basement, Ii is probable, that
some one in passing, threw, accidentally, a
lighted cigar, or perhaps match, through
the grating into this pile of shucks. This
seemed to be the general opinion of all
WHO had taken any interestin discovering
its origin, and for the want of any better
we are forced to adopt it. Ss.Ai
The loss sustained by Messrs Ristine d
May has not, as yet, been ascertained,
There was quite lot or new furniture in
the basement, which, of course, was totally
destroyed. The joists of the first floor were
all burned about half through. Although
the fire did not break through the first
floor, yet the furniture is considerably
damaged from the heat and the water
thrown in by some of the engines Their
stock is insured to the amount of 81 900, in
two different companies, and la matter of
course, they will not allow anything to be
dNturbed until the agents of the insurance
| companies have thoroughly examined
| tanned. SOL.
! One more word of comment to the brave
boys of the fire department, for to their
noble eXertions is certainly due that the
whole block is not in ruins.-DdiLy, 18th.

Sad Case or:sin and Suffering.

On Sunday morning an old basket ma
ker, who plies his vocation at the corner
of Main and Gay streets, was aroused by
the pleading voice of a woman, asking for
shelter. The occupant, Fred. Dost, AN old
man, received the erring woman and per-
ceiving her condition, and realizing that
other assistance than his was needed,
started out to procure the same, but before
he returned she was delivered of a child,
which was born dead. DIR. Burnett, who
afterwards examined the body, gave as his
opinion that the infant had been dead for
two weeks before it was born. In this he
is doubtless correct, as the mother stated
that about two weeks ago she had a diff

The mother of the dead child is about
seventeen years of age and is said to be
of respectable family in this county,
She presented pitiable spectacle, lying on

How a Married Man sews on Button

1t is bad enough to see bachelor sew on
n button, but he is the embodiment of
grace alongside of a married man. Ne
cessity has compelled experience in the
case of the former, but the latter has de-
pended upon some one else for this service
and, fortunately for the sake of society, it
is rarely he is obliged to resort to the nee
die himself. Sometimes the patient wife
scalds her right hand, or runs silver I'M
der the nail of the index finger of that
hand, and it is then the man clutches the
needle around the neck, and, forgetting to
tie knot in the thread, commences to put
on the button. 1t is always in the morn.
ing, and from five to twenty minutes after
this he is expected TO be down street, He
lays the button exactly on the site of its
predecessor, and pushes the needle through
one eye and carefully draws the thread
after, leaving about three inches of it
sticking up for lee way. He SAYS to him
self: "Well, if women don't have the
easiest time l ever see.n Then he comes
back the other way and gets the needle
through the cloth easy enough, and laws
himself out to find the eye, but in spite
Of great deal of patient jabbing the
needle point persists in bucking against
the solid parts of the button, and finally,
when he loses patience, his fingers catch
the thread, and that three inches he has
left to hold the button slips through the
eye in a twinkling and the button rolls
leisurely across the floor. He picks it up
without single remark, out of respect
for his children, and makes another at
tempt to fasten it. This time, when COM
ing back with the needle he keeps both
the thread and button from slipping by
covering them with his thumb, and it is
out of regard for that part of him that he
feels around for the eye in very careful
and judicious manner, and it is Just then
the needle finds the opening and comes
up through the button and part of the way
through his thumb with CELEBRITY that no
human ingenuity can guard against. Then
he lays down the things, with few ia
miliar quotations, and presses the injured
hand between his knees, and then holds
it under the other arm, and finally jams il
into his mouth. and all the while he
prances and calls upon heaven and earth
to witness that there has never been any

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-A young
man by the name of Harrison went to
the Greene County Furnace one day
last week and was belated and did not get
home until after night. He was beset by
a man who attempted to rob him on his
way home. The man struck at him with
a large knife and cut his clothes through
to the skin without doing further injury.
He was riding ayoung horse with no girth
to his saddle, and the animal made sud-
den spring sidewise as the man came out
and attacked him, and he was thrown,
but he still held to the reins as the man
struck him and succeeded in extricating
himself and getting away without being
much hurt.-NdtioRaL Union.

Old Churchill.

A correspondent of the Portland Tran
script says: Some, and they are not few,
can remember old Churchill, and his pecu-
liar ways. One day he was riding on
horseback, when he was met by an old
woman, who had not so many of this
worlds good things as he had. Taking out
his wallet he handed her quarter of dol
lar, and rode on.
He had ridden only q short distance,
when he began to soliloquize thus:
"Now wouldn't have done better to
have kept that money, and bought my
self something"
Wheeling his horse round, he rode back
to where the old lady was standing, and
said:
"Give me that money!
She handed it to him, wondering what
he meant. Placing it in his wallet, and
at the same time handing her a tive-dollal
bill, he exclaimed:
"lhere, Self, now guess you'll wish
| you had kept still"
