HOME INFLUENcE.-A neat, clean
freshaired, sweet, cheerful, well-arranged
house exerts a moral influence over its
inmates, and makes the members Of
family peaceable and considerate of each
others feelings and happiness. The con-
nection is obvious between the state of
mind thus produced, and respect for
others, and for those higher duties and
obligations which no law can enforce.
On the contrary, filthy, squalid, noxious
dwelling, in which none of the decencies
Of life are observed, contributes to make
its inhabitants selfish, sensual, and re-
gardless of the feelings of others.

The Fire at Baltimore.

NEW YORK, July 20.
A Baltimore special says The fire in
several portions of the burned district
swept rapidly through the roofs and left
the lower portions of whole rows scarcely
damaged. This seemed to be caused by
large numbers of slingle roofs, which are
so exceedingly dry as to burn like grass
In this way the fire actually crossed over
streets in which engines continued to work,
and left portion of the fire brigade work.
ing in the very centre of burning blocks.
Water was so nearly exhausted before the
fire was under control as to make it neces-
sary to dam up the cutters and save the
supply for some of the fire engines. The
arrival of the Washington engines was
most opportune, contributing mainly to
the subjugation of the fire. Dispatches
say the loss on the Presbyterian church is
$4,000 insurance 100000. The estimat-
ed loss on st. Alphonso's church and the
building of the Sisters of Notre Dame Is
$4,000. There was an insurance of only
$4,000 on the First English Lutheran
church, which together with the valuable
library of the pastor was totally destroyed.
The loss of Rieter, owner of buildings on
Saratoga and Clay streets is $4,000. The
insurance is mainly confined to Baltimore
companies. 1t is reported that the Han
over of New York loses $1,000 and the
Continental but $4,000. The Sun this
morning estimates the loss by the fire at
mhssa!0. 900, an. ages as low as between @ovV;-
600 and 100000. The Gazette estimates
the loss at $5OO,OO to 100000. The
American says it will approximate to ST.
100000.
Joseph Thomas IL Son, in whose planning
mill the fire originated, state personally that
their loss will not exceed $50, 900; insured
in Baltimore and foreign companies to the
amount of $25, 1000.

BURGLARY IN RUTLAND.
Residence Entered and Robbed.

Residence Entered and Robbed.
On Friday night, or between the hour
of midnight and daylight Saturday morn
ing, the residence of Oliver j. Cain, at No.
8 Pine street, was entered by burglars and
sum of money amounting to $40, belong
ing to Mr.. Lee Morton, a brother-ln-law of
Cain, was taken. The thieves evidently
effected an entrance through the front
window to the sleeping-room occupied by
Morton by means of a tree that stands with
in reach of the window, and which must
have been climbed, and by it an easy ac-
cess to the room was gained. On rising
Saturday morning, Mr.. Morton found his
vest and pants, which he had left hanging
on the bed, lying near the window and his
purse on the floor, which had been abstract
cd from the inside vest pocket, and from it
the sum of $40 had been taken. The
thieves had also, it seemed, taken the pants
to the window, but had, fortunately for
the owner, left undiscovered the large sum
of $500, which was in the pocket, having
been perhaps frightened away in some
manner before they had time to search
them or had overlooked the booty altogeth-
or which was contained therein.
Mr.. Cain had locked the house us usual,
about 12 o'clock that night and retired
about o'clock. Some time in the night
he was conscious of hearing slight noise
in the house, but thinking nothing strange
of it, had gone to sleep again. Mr.. Nor
ton Is an engineer ON the Vermont Central
road, running between Rutland and Bur-
lington. No satisfactory clue is had as to
the thieves, although several suspicious
characters have been seen about that vicin-
ity during the past week or two. The mat
ter is being carefully looked up, and it is
to be hoped that the burglars may be dis
covered, not only on account of this loss
but also for the better protection of our
citizens generally.

OLD SOLDIERS, ATTENTION.

The members of Post Roberts and al
soldiers who have enlisted in the 'reunior
forces" here in Rutland, are urgently re-
questcd to meet at Odd Fellows Hall
GLOBE Block, Tuesday evening, July Goth
at 1880 o'clock, for the purpose of organi
cation, and making necessary arrangements
for the coming jubilee.
We learn from the Bennington Banne,
that Colonel George w. Hooker, a well
known army officer during the war, has
been at Bennington during the past week,
and will be in attendance at the reunion.
That paper is also stirring up the old
soldiers in that town with regard to the
event, and in depreciation of the want of
enthusiasm which evidently exists there
says eve wish the Lord would favor us
with draft for three hundred thousand
more just for day or two. That's the
thing that tries mems SOULS"
The Ludlow reunion forces, on Wednes-
day evening last, made choice of the fol-
lowing officers Captain-R. E. Hathorn ;
1st Lieutenant-F. A. Fish; I'd Lieuten-
ant-A. r. Sawyer; list Sergeant-W. ID.
Ball Cd Sergeant. II. Putnam; Quar-
master-Sergeant-E. A. Howe. The
officers are making every exertion to enlist
every old soldier in town and everything
indicates that all will respond. There is a
goodly number also enlisted at Cavendish.
We learn that the Altimont cornet band
of Ludlow, and the Londonderry band are
to unite their forces with desirable addi-
tions and be ON hand at the reunion during
the three days. Capt. Hathorn learns from
an old comrade at Fitchburg, that some
fifteen old soldiers in that city will attend
the jubilee, provided they can come for
half fare. This, we think, may possibly
he arranged.
The Springfield Republican notes the
grand preparations going forward through
out the state and adds, 1.-THE Grand Army
of the Republic of Rutland are very busy
arranging the details.

Large Fire at Norfolk.
NORFOLK. Va. .Inl

NORFOLK, Va, July 20.
AT an early hour to-day Weete 4 u
mans shoe store, two doors south of the
starting point of Saturdays confiagration,
was discovered on fire, and so ineffec-
tual were the efforts of the fire department,
worn out by the labors of the preceding
morning, that the building and the adjoin-
ing one occupied as hardware store were
entirely destroyed. But little of the con-
tents of the buildings were saved.
THIRD CoNFLAaRATIoN.
About half an hour after the discovery
of this fire another fire broke out on Camp
bells wharf, about a square from the first
fire in three story brick building occu-
pied by produce dealer. This building
and one Immediately north, used for the
same purpose, were also entire destroyed.
EXCITEMENT or THE PEOPLE.
Upon discovering this last and fifth fire,
within twenty-four hours, ending Sunday
morning. the greatest CONSERVATION pre-
vailed. Market square and other places
were thronged with excited people, many
believing it an organized plan for the de-
struction of the entire city.
PROMPT AssIsTRANCK-FIRE suBDuED
The fire companies of Portsmouth and
the Navy Yard again came over in response
to rockets sent up as signals for assistance,
and rendered invaluable aid on Campbell's
wharf where the fire threatened to in
volve an entire square. The steamer Syl-
vester, lying near Campbell's wharf, was
put in readiness to be dispatched to Old
Point for the government engines at For
tress Monroe, but further assistance was
unnecessary. The loss by the last two fires
will probably fall within 1886, 900, largely
covered by insurance.
