larger size. On Wednesday last a boy was de-

and upon opening it we found tomatoe weigh
ing two and a-haf pounds The note accompa-
nying it seated that it had been raised in the gar
den of Mrs. Peter Bordner, of Georgetown,
Lower Mahanoy township. As that township is
prolific in the production of Republican majori-
ties, we believe that she may safely challenge the
county in regard to the production Of Republican
tomatoes. If any can beat the last we should
like to hear from them.

NOT DEAp.-Consdcrab excitement was Gre
atcd on Tuesday last, through the circulation of
n report that II man named Richard Carn, In the
employ of Oscas Kasc, about three miles from
town had committed suicide. Mr.. Kase came to
town much excited, and repaired to Esquire Pur-
sc's office, and gave the statement that the man
was found in his barn dead, and desired that al
inquest be held over the body. A carriage was
procured from A. j. Stroh, lvcryman, who ac-
companied the party consisting of Justice Pur-
sci, Constable W. Bright Constable VIM. Pur-
sci, II. F. Mann, and B. Heckcrt, fundcrtaker.)
who proceeded to the place where the horrible
suicide was reported 10 have been committed.
Upon arriving ut the designated place, to their
great surprise they found the man not dead, but
alive. The man having been i'll for some days,
procured medicine the day before, aud not wish
ing to disturb the family during the night, went
to the stable where he fell asleep, and was dis
covered iu the morning by girl in the employ of
MIR. Kase, who supposed him to be eerd, and so
reported. The jury found the man awake but
considerably weakened through tie effects of the
medicine, so much SO that he was unable to rise.
Considerable merriment was had after finding
the man in the land OF the living. Mr.. Carn no
doubt congratulated himself upon his escape of
so hedry a jury setting upon his body and an un-
dertaker ready to send him into another werld
with wooden coat. The foreman who is
man of weight, was much eiuted Mt Mr.. Carn's
narrow escape, prepared sentiment which was
washed down gustIly, and the party departed
from the scene, without pay for their services,
concluding that as they were not privileged to
set upon the dead man as jurors, they had not
earned any fee, aud respectfully declined pay.
OUR MARKET.-The proprety of dividing the
market between the East and West wards, is he
ing discussed of late. The purpose of the move
mcnt is the accommodation of the public in both
wards. 1t was the original design of the pro-
jectors of the Market Ordinance, that the mar
ket wagons should extend from Second street to
Fifth street, SO as to equally divide the market
ing between the two wards. We hope that the
original project will be fully carried ont, to
make II still greater success, and more of a be-
neit to our citizens generally. The gentlemen
who first moved in the matter of curb stone
market before the Council, deserve great credit,
and when the original design is once fully car
ried ont, it will be seen that their purpose was
good, as it will tend to prevent all petty jealou-
sizes that may rise from the present arrangement
of our market. Our market thus far has been a
grand success. II has proved beneficial to the
producer us well as the purchaser. 1t is also
just and right that the business men in each
ward should be equally benefited through the
market, and the proposed mode of dividing it is
the only way its benefits to all parties can be
reached.

FIRE.-About half past one o'clock, on Sat-
urday morning, our citizens were aroused from
their slumbers by the cry of flre. The sky was
brilliantly Illuminated by the flames from the
burning buildings, and few squares off it ap-
peared as though the principal business part of
the town was destined to fall prey to the fiery
element. The fire broke out in the stable of
Messrs. Drelsbach & Bro, on Centre alley, be-
tween Second aud Third streets, back of Market
Square, and was undoubtedly the work of an In
cendiary, who evidently set fire to the hay, as
fire was seen In the upper part of the building,
when several persons rushed In and rescued the
horse and spring wagon from destruction. 1t
was frame, and burned rapidly. Before the fire.
men were able to reach the spot, 1t had spread
to the stable on Mrs. Peasants property, across
the alley, occupied by DR.. Cummings, and alfo
tc the stables of Mr.. james Boyd and Henry
Haas, opposite, which were of frame, and iu
few minutes they were entirely envelored in
flames. The heat was intense, and for a time
threatened many other buildings in the vicinity.
The stable of II. d. Masser opposite that of Mr..
Boyd was reached, and one half the roof and one
side nearest the fire, was entirely destroyed. The
warehouse of j. W. Friling was In imminent
danger, and was saved through the cxertions of
the citizens with buckets and a small force
pump until the Hremen were able to reach il with
hose from their steamer. The fremen did efli-
cient service. Being promptly on the ground
and as soon as was possible, they threw two
streams of water from their engine, and prevent
ed the further progress of the fire. Their steam
er never did better. She threw two steady
streams for nearly one hour and a-half without
interruption, from Miller's we'll, on Market
Square, in which the water only fell some six
inches. The stable of Mr.. Drirsbach contained
n lot Of hay and feed, one car load of salt and
other articles in the grocery line, which had only
been put in few weeks ago. The stable of Mr..
Boyd, Mr.. Haas, and Mr.. Masser were empty.
The stable of DR.. Cummings contained conside-
rable hay and horse feed which was destroyed.
The horses were all rescued from the burning
buildings. Messrs. Drcisbacl's loss will proba-
bly, reach 81 600, PARTLY insured Mr.. Boyd's
loss will be about $500, insured. Mr.. Haas loss
Is about 500, $500, insurance. DR.. Cummings
loss will be several hundred dollars, and Mrs.
Peasants about S400. Mr.. Masser's about 5000.
1t was fortunate that there was no wind at the
time, otherwise 1t is quite probable that the prin
ciple square in the town would have been de-
stroycd. The frencn deserve great credit for
their energy aud promptness on this occasion,
and for their cxcrtons in subduing the flames.
We also noticed n number of citizens active in
carrying water, and aiding in checking the pro-
gress of the fire.
