The Millerstown pa Horror.

A Pittsburgh dispatch says Advices
from the scene of the great fire at Mil
lerstown state that ne other bodies have
yet been discovered so that the seven
already found probably constitute the
number lost. A letter says that the
bar-keeper of the Central Hotel, who
was sitting up with a sick friend, was
the first to discover the fire. He imme-
diately rushed through the halls to
arouse the guests. There were, includ-
ing servants, hundred souls in the
house, and directly the corridors be-
came the scene of the widest dismay.
Fortunately there were no lady guestsreg-
istered, or the story of horror and death
might have been UNNECESSARILY more
painful to detail The flames drifted
up the wooden walls, and, quicker than
it takes to tell it, spread over the entire
southern side, and were curling in a
thousand tongues from cornice and ga
BILE. Men rushed almost naked into the
hall, some not even taking their cloth
ing in their arms, and, anxious only to
escape with their lives, tore up and
down the corridors, madly seeking some
outlet from the pursuing flames.
The widest horror prevailed. Shrek
rose upon -hriek, in heart-rending &C
cents, all the more impressive, because
they came from strong men graphing
with death, with the odds so terribly
against all mere human power. Many
on the lower hall had found their way
out of the building, and the proprie tor
of the house, who was sick, had been
borne out. For an instant it was hoped
that all would escape. but again that
hope was dashed ny the beseeching
cries for help from those who had lin
gered to dress, or, in the excitement of
the dreadful moment, were unable to
undo the fastenings of their doors.
To add to the horror of the situation,
| it was discovered that the flames had
crept through the southern sleeping
rooms, and, following the draft along
the corridor, had cut off the servants
escape from the attic.
| Between prayers and shrieks and
groans, the scene was now too much for
human hearts. Knowing their utter In
ability to render aid, many turned away
from the sickening scene they found it
as difficult to endure as to relieve.

presence of mind to turn their drapery
over their heads for protection and
rush through the sheet of flame, and
thus some escaped. Others rushed
back to the north side and cast them
selves from the windows upon the roof:
of the adjoining building, W ence they
were rescued. Others sank bewildered
in the suffocating smoke, and, like some
of the guests on the floor below, yielded
without struggle to the terrible death
before them. The climax of horror had
not been reached till Nelly Mccarthy,
one of the dining-room girls, appeared
at the southern attic window, and pro-
posed to cast herself to the ground, 40
feet below. A warning cry rose from
the crowd below, but the poor girl
would not retreat. Death was behind
her, and with a wild cry of despair she
cast herself forward and fell, pitiful
mass of broken bones, on the pave
ment.

One Place Where the Leak Is.

During the latter part of 1871, as /
sat by the evening fire, moodily pom
derlng over the hard times, my wife
said:
Hub, wish you would buy Dolly
and | new dress for Christmas pres
ent."
1 felt as though this little request
which my wife wished to construe as an
act of iberality and kindness, was.
nothing more than duty on nv part,
and, under this feeling, 1 could not
possibly refuse, though the want of
money made it almost impossible to
comply with this very reasonable and
modest demand upon my purse. NY
salary was good, and, in years agone.
had furnished my little family with all
the necessaries and many of the luxu-
ries of life. I was, in the general ac-
ceptation of the term, temperate man :
my morning call, MONDAY lunch, and
evening social took only pittance of
fifteen cents each, while my fragrant
Havana drew upon my purse for only
ten cents after breakfast, dinner and
supper. These were small OUTLAWS, and
seemed necessary to my health, csm-
fort, and social standing they were
mere trifies, and could not possibly
amount to much, one way or the other.
1t is true [ was out of debt, but, what
was worse, out of money, and the mod
est request of my wife seemed to har-
rass nae to degree unimaginable to one
not in exactly the same fix. The old
adage, the mickles make the nue.
kles," came to my mind very forcibly,
and, under the peculiar circumstances
surrounding me, | made firm resolve.
to act upon it for the next twelve
months. L could remember very well
that it was considered, in my younger
days, rather disgraceful for boys to be
caught smoking or chewing tobacco, or
drinking whisky; consequently, these
little habits must contribute their mites
to the money-box, which 1 procured for
the purpose of catching the stray
nickles spent for unnecessary articles.
In few weeks imagined l felt bet
ter without the toddy and cigar, and
thought of them only as discarded vices,
as each day 1 deposited the little
amounts In my savings bank.
Just twelve months after the time 1
resolved to do away with the unnecessa--
ry expenses, 1 opened my money-box,
and, to my surprise, found just two
hundred and seventy three dollars and
seUenty.fve cents ! 1t may be well to
state that the new dresses, with many
luxuries for the table, and ornaments
for my little home, were now procured
without any difficulty whatever. Old
Santa Claus was also more lavish with
his toys and good things when little
Dolly hung up her little stocking on
Christmas Eve. 1 felt happy-not moo
dy-under the good influences that were
brought about by the price of bad hab-
its and, what is better, 1 have found
out the cause of hard times and "where
the leak is. "-Southern Temperance

At Cleveland, Dayton and other places the
prayer crusade is still vigorously prosecuted,
though the ladies' are meeting with poor sue

At Mount Vernon, the other day, Judge Da-
Wis attempted to enforce the ordinance against
obstructing the sidewalk and ordered the
sentry-box used by the crusaders to be e.
moved from the front of the grocery store of
James Rogers. An excited crowd of mon and
women interfered, and prevented the removal
of The box. There was intense excitement

Large temperance meetings are being held

New Mexico.

The bill introduced in the House of
Representatives, March &c, providing
for the admission of New Mexico into
the Union as a State. has brought out
some interesting facts concerning that
Territory which are not generally
known. New Mexico was acquired from
Mexico in 1S48. By the act of Sept. 9,
1850, it was constituted Territory,
with an area of 215, S07 square miles.
In August, 1854, the territory acquired
from Mexico by the Gadsden treaty was
annexed. making the total area 26l ,342
miles. In 1861, $4,000 square miles
were set off to Colorado, and, in 1868,
126. al square miles were cut off and
organized into the Territory of Arizona,
leaving 121,201 square miles as the
present area of the Territory. The CEN
sus of 1870 gives New Mexico the sec
ond position among our Territories,
with popu' alton of 81, 7S4.

the important fact, that the completion
of the Texas and Pacific Railroad to

over $50 miles, as compared with any
other rail line. AS you state in your
letter that the Te1as roads have agreed

The SOUTH CARoLINA COLLEGE. "A
correspondent of tho Boston Post, writ
ing from Columbia. says: There is no
doubt that it is the intention of the
Radical rule to subsidize the South ca.
rolina College entirely into school for
the education OF the blacks, and the late
establishment of school in the college
for preparatory class for college, which
now numbers over twenty, fully con-
firms the intent to destroy the college;
and, in my opinioA, just ns fnst as men
can be obtained, overy white professor
will be removed from the University
and, indeed, I was told by colored
member of the House. he hoped every
white person would be expelled from
the college,"
