Narrow Il Escape.


Weissport, on the 4th narrowly escap-
ed what might have proved a most dis
asterous fire. Mr.. Oswald had laid in
quite stock of fireworks previous to
that day, and had packed them on his
shelves, having a large wheel above
them, when he had occasion to 60 out
for few minutes, and during his alb
sence, some one struck match, and
accidentally started the wheel, which
scattered the sparks among rockets,
crackers, &C., causing terrible din and
racket in the store. Mr.. o. hurried to
the scene and by his prompt action
succeeded in preventing the spread of
fire. His loss in fireworks, &C., he es-
Inmates at about $40.

MERCHANT TAILORING.

When in the course of wear and tear
of every day life it becomes necessary
to dissolve our connection with the suits
that have done us so much services in
keeping us warm and free from expo
sure, there is one place where we can
find consolation and a friend indeed in
our distress. Yea, place where we
can safely put our trust-where there
Is no need offear that we shall be cheat
ed, unsuited or unsatisfed-where the
fabric Is strong and the manufacture
superb where the prices are Just and
and the style all that can be desired
There is charm about an easy, glove
fitting, elastic suit, that is seen and oo
served by all men. "Where did you
get that superb suit of clothes?" "Where
did you secure such splendid fitting
garment?"is is often asked. There are
many tailors, and a number of them
are undoubtly fair samples of the genus
homo and also credit to the craft; bu.
how generally tailors fail in the fitting
OF garments to the human form; how
often good piece of goods is spoiled in
the At; how sadly and dejectedly manya
man wanders about the streets, feel
ing the shame tie tailor has caused him,
in allowing poor job to. go out of his
shop, and he the wearer of It'll Perhaps
his lady love has even Tilted him in con-
sequence of his forlorn appearance.
.- s'--Dress makes the man.
The want Oft the fellow
Not that a man is less a man for wear
ing plain clothes, but when he is "dress-
ed up" he should indeed be dressed not
having his cloths hang like bags around
him, and wrinkled and distored in all
sorts of shapes, but that he should be
clad in fitting garments. Taste should
be shown both in the colors and make
up of his suit. Many high priced goods
are af such outlandsh cOlOrs and styles
that mans character is judged by his
fOolishly selecting those odd goods. A
man is known by the company he keeps,
and If he insists upon fraternizing with
ill-looking and ill-fitting clothes, he
will not make his mark" as a man of
taste, that's positive. To be looked up
on as possessing the requisite attain
ments of tasty gentleman, he must
select cloths of suitable colOrs for his
clothing and have them made up in first
class style by Laury & Peters, (post
Office building), Lehighton, Pa, who
have splendid stock to select from, and
where you will obtain that symmetry of
fit so necessary to the adornment of the
person. Call and examine the most
beautiful assortment of cloths, cassimers
and vestings, ever brought into Lehigh-
ton, and leave your measure with Laury
q Peters. 4hareh IA, 1874.

WOODSTOCK VIRGINIA.

The Louisiana affair, successful as far
as the determined spirit and gallantry
of the people of New Orleans could
achieve success, has,by the action of tie
President, failed to relieve the people
Of that State Of a government imposed
upon them by fraud and sustained by
the power Of the present administration.
For several years the people quietly
submitted to the outrage which afflicted
them. They bore patiently wrongs far
greater than those which excited the
colonies and caused a mighty revolution.
But when prompted by the desire of a
continuance of this carpet-bag tyranny,
Kellogg deprived the honest people OF
the State of the right of suffrage, and
attempted to seize upon and wrest from
them their private arms, human pa
tierce could endure no longer, and in
the short space of one day, the carpet
bag outrage, termed government, was
overthrown and the cowardly Kellogg
was seeking protection under the guns
of the custom house, while throughout
the State peace prevailed. s D..
Gen. Grant, lacking the manliness to
acknowledge that he had made mis-
take in placing the government of
Louisiana III the hands of Kellogg, an
officer holding his position by fraud
for the sake Of appearing consistent
reinstated this fraudulent governor, and
backed by the power Of the United
States denies the good people Of
Louisiana an honest government
Long enduring patience, appeals tc
Congress and to the President, the
overthrow Of tyranny by force of arms,
have all failed to relieve the people O
the burden which paralyses business
denies liberty and encourages outrage

Another disaster is added to the list

about hundred and fifty persons,
chiefly women and children, and in the
panic which ensued many leaped from

Others died in the flames. Many were
saved by the exertions of the fremen.
From the lower parts of the mill the
other operatives. about three hundred
in number, escaped without injury. The
following are the particulars:
The Granite Mills were incorporated
IN 1868, and mill No ! had 36,6As
spindles and $500 looms, and employed
about 425 male and female operatives.
About seven O'Clock Saturday morning
when the mills had been running Just
twenty minutes the alarm OF fire was
sounded in the city, but from causes un-
explained the location was not properly
understood, and some delay followed,
