A CoRREorIoN.-We amOug many
others Of the newspaper fraternity were
led into error in stating some time since
that an important change had been
made in the defining the rights of land
lords and tenants, which purported to be
ian act exemptiug property from levy
and sale on the executions and distress
for rent, etc., virtually repeating the
$500 exemption OF 1919. Such bill
was before the legislature, but was not
passed last winter as stated, and as the
publication may lead to msapprehens-
on aud difficulty. we make the correc-
ion for the benefit of all whom it may
concern. The law remains precisely
the same

DisA sTRoUs FIRB.-We regret to
learn that the extensive -four mill Of
Hagerty & Stewart, at Union Furnace,
near Spruce Greek, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, in Huntingdon county,
together with all its contents was to-
tally destroyed by fire two weeks ago.
There was stated in the mill at the
time 5000 bushels Of wheat, 1000 bus.
hels Of corn, 1000 bushels of rye, 5000
bushels of other grain, and about 100
barrels Of prime -four, all of which we're
burned, together with the books of the
mill aud the Union Furnace Postoiiice
which occupied a portion of the building.
Hagertys mill was one of the most
widely known in Central Pennsylvania,
the -four manufactured there being Of
the best quality and eagerly sought af-
ter by all good housckeepcrs. In addi-
ton to the burning of the mill and its
contents, a pig-stye was consumed and
seven hogs burned to death. There
was 20 insuance on the mill property,
consequently it is a total loss, the insur-
ance having run out about year ago
The loss will fall heavily upon Mr.. Iiag-
erty who was the sole owner OF the mill
The total loss will reach $4,000. Mr..
Hagerty tormely resided at Janesvile,
in this county, and is we'll known to
many of our citizens, who deeply SYM
pathize with him in his loss C2eorfeld

FIRE.-Last Friday morning at hall
past one o'clock our citizens were
aroused from their slumbers by the
alarm of fire. On going to the scene OF
the fire we discovered that the old
steam jobbing shop, near Hyde's saw
mill, was ablaze and that some lumber
piles in close proximity, were in danger.
1t was but a short time before the lum-
Der caught, but in few minutes scores
of men and boys had formed themsel
yes into lines from the mill race to the
burning lumber piles, and in short
time stream Of water was carried or
the flames. The morning was unusual ly
still, which fact contributed largely
toward saving the business portion Of
the town, from destruction, for had
there been any wind, with our lack OF
means to extinguish fire, we would have
been entirely at the mercy Of the de-
vouring element. Mrs. Jno G. Hall
and Miss Katie Hyde, deserve great
praise for their efforts to relieve the tired
men by passing around some Of the best
coffee we have ever tasted. We noticed
as is usual, in case CT fire number oi
men standing around looking on, with
out as much as lifting pail OF water, OF
these gentlemen we can think OF no cen
sure severe enough. There has been sew
eral reasons as.ig ned as the cause OF the
fire, but what seems as the most plau. a.
bic of any is, that number of men have
been in the habit Of frequenting the old
shop for the purpose of gambling, and
had in this instance, likely thrown a
cigar stump on the -four and then going
away left it to burn We are inclined
to charge the origin Of the fire to acci
dent, yet at the same time we must en-
ter a word in condemnation of the crime
that made the accident possible. Gam
beliDg is known to the law, as one of
the lowest and most damaging to the
morals of community, of all vices, and
common gambler is mark d as one un-
worthy the respect of his fellowmen, 1t
has been for long time notorious
fact that number of our young men,
have been engaged in this neiarious
business, and we hope to chronicle ere
long, the arrest and punishment of those
who are interested in gambling. The
building and property burned were
owned by j, S. Hyde, and were valued
at about $500.

THE SECOND CHICAGO FIRE.-On
Tuesday night, l4th July, the city of
Chicago suffered another great fire, re-
sulting in a loss of 100000. The
insurance amounts in round numbers to
S2,700,000. Compared with the fear
full confagration in 1871, tais second
disaster is but trifiug affair, the los
ses then having reached the appalling
figures of s17O,O0O,OO0. Though the
results of fire have left large number
of people entirely destitute, information
comes direct from Chicago that outside
relief is not needed, at least for the
present. OF the former relief fund in
the hands Of the Relief and Aid Society
the sum of 100000 still remained, and
that this amount is believed to be ample
for the emergency. As no establish
ments of any kind employing large
forces we're destroyed, there is no con-
siderable deprivation of employment.
and as rebuilding has already COM
men6ed, the demand for labor will
practically be increased by the fire.

Mr.. JOHN COBB was thrown from
his buggy and had four ribs broken a
few days ago, but as he was on urgent
business Che always ISL didn't stop, but
went on. Somebody had informed him
of three very large and beautiful pine
trees standing alone many miles from
any body OF pine timber, somewhere on
the headwaters of Hem lock or Coon
Creek, which somehow had miracously
escaped his attention, and he was driv.
ing out at full speed to look at the situa-
tion with a view of starting sawmill
when the mishap occurred. But with
Cobb it is business, first, last and all
the time, while cid broken ribs and such
trihes can be attended to at any time
atterpards, and so we have no doubt
but that an engine is already on the way
to drive another mill. We do not be-
lieve that there is any great military
gen eral now living who possesses in a
greater degree those admirable powert
