BUFFALO, Aug. 25Abouttwo O'Clock
this afternoon a FIRE broke out in the
grain drying house attached to the
Reed elevator, fronting on Water
street and Buffalo river, where some
$500 bush Q fspoiled grain were being
dried. The flames spread rapidly to
the elevator and caused its entire de-
struction.
At one time several large propellers
lying near by were in danger, but by
the exertions OF iremen the flames
were confined to the elevator. The
building was owned by c.. NJ. Reed
& Tite, of Erie, Pa, and James c..
Harrison, of this city, and was val
ued at $4,000. Harrison had one
third interest, which was insured for
$4,000. Reed q Tate had no in
surauce on their interest. The ad-
Joining property was considerably
damaged by water.

THE CARNIVAL OF CRIME.

The morning papers, one morning
last week, afforded cheerful reading.
There was the cireumstancial account
Of the funeral of Mary Pomeroy, the
killing of a rough by a bartender,
the beating of a wite's brains out by
a drunken carman, three children
were found starved, two bodies were
dragged out of the East River, be-
sides which there were cuttings,
Standings, and shootings without
number. Has the hot weather any,
thing to do with crime? Does it irri-
tate men and drive them to drink?
Certain it is that crime is more fierce
in its manifestations now than during
the pleasant spring and autumn or
the cold winter.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1874-09-02
cLERIcAL

the worst one has recently come to
light in Jersey City, a very popular
clergyman named Glendenning being
the alleged cause. 4 beautiful girl
named Mary Pomeroy. an orphan,
residing with her cousin, was engag-
ed to be married to Glendenning who
was her pastor. Some weeks ago
she confessed to her aunt that she
was about to become q mother, and
after long entreaty named Glenden-
ming as the author of her shame.
She stated that when her condition
became known to her she entreated
Glendenning to fulfill lis promise,
but he put her off. Finally he came
to her one night and told her that ex-
posure was ruin to him, and that she
must give him a paper relieving him
Of any connection with the matter.
He threatened her with a pistol, and
she acceded. Getting this paper, he
refused to marry her. Last week the
child was born, and on Monday poor
Mary Pomeroy, ruined and heart-bro-
ken, died. On her death-bed she
made the statement she had made be-
fore. The funeral was one of the
largest ever known in Jersey City.
TIE beauty and sweetness of the
girl, and the peculiar circumstances
of her death, created a terrible excite
ment. If Mr.. GlendeIning is not
lynehed, it viii be because the wiser
and cooler men, who would have law
take its proper course, are in such
majority as to be able to control the
more excitable. But what punish
ment can the law infict upon such q
man? He is as truly the murderer OF
Mary Pomeroy as though he had
shot her.
And when one thinks Of such oc-
currences, and thinks Of the inadequa-
cy Of the laws, grave doubts arise as
TO whether double-b arreld shot guns
are not rather good institutions after
all. All that can be done with the
Rev. G~lendenning is to compel him
to support the child.

A Perfect Water Proof.


A writer in an English paper says
By the way, speaking of water-proofs, /
think l can give travellers valuable hint
or two. For many years l have worn
India-rubber water-proofs, but will buy
no more, for / have learned that good
Scottish tweed can be made entirely i'm
pervious to rain, and moreover, have
learned how to make it SO; and for the
benefit of readers will give the recipe :
In q bucket of soft water put half-a-
pound of sugar of lead, and half-apound
of powdered alum stir this, at intervals,
until it becomes clear, then pour it off in
to another bucket, and put the garment
therein, and let it be in for twenty-four
hours, and then hang it up to dry with
out wringing it, Two of my party-a
lady and gentleman-have worn gar
ments thus treated in the widest storms
of wind and rain, without getting wet
The rain hangs upon the cloth in glob-
ules. In short, they are really water
proof The gentleman, fortnight ago,
walked nine miles in q storm of rain and
wind, such as you rarely see in the South;
and when he slipped off his overcoat,
his under-clothes were as dry as when
he put them on. This is, 1 think, a
secret worth knowing; for cloth, if it can
be made to keep out wet, is, in every
way, better than what we know as water
proofs.

What is in the Bedroom.

If two persons are to occupy bed
room during the night, let them step on
a weighing scale as they retire, and then
again in the morning, and they viii find
that their actual weight is at least a
pound less in the morning. Frequently
there will a loss of two or more pounds.
and the average loss throughout the
year will be a pound of matter which has
gone off from their bodies, partly from
the lungs, and partly through the skin.
The escaped matter is carbonic acid and
decayed animal matter or poisonous ex-
halation. This is diffused through the
air IN part, and part absorbed by the bed
clothes. If a single ounce of wood-cot-
ton be burned in room, it will so COM
pletely saturate the air with smoke that
one can hardly breathe, though there
can only be one ounce of foreign matter
IN the air. If an ounce of cotton be
burned every half an hour during the
night, the air will be kept continually
saturated with smoke, unless there be an
open window or door for it to escape.
Now, the sixteen ounces of smoke thus
formed is far less poisonous than the six.
teen OF. exhalations from the lungs and
bodies of two persons who have lost a
pound in weight during the eight hours
OF sleeping; for, while the dry smoke is
mainly taken into the lungs, the damr
odors from the body are absorbed both
into the lungs and into the pores of the
whole body. Need more be said tc
show the Importance of having bed
rooms well ventilated, and of thoroughly
airing the sheets, coverlids, and mat
tresses in the morning, before packing
them up in the form Of neatly-madt
bed?

Mr. Walter C. Hood, who, until re-
Gently, has been in our Office since jan
uary 1873, is still in town, but is closing
up his business affairs as though he were
about to leave our city, in which he has
been an active citizen for ten years past.
He finds himself slowly but we think
constantly, improving in health, which
fact will be good news to many friends
here and elsewhere.
Different papers have stated that Mr..
Hood has been appointed State Librarian,
which is premature; but that he will be
SO announced in few days, we have not
the slightest doubt
All will concede, who know him, that
such an appointment will be credit to
Gov. Aliens administration. At home
among books, systematic in his habits,
unapproachable with a bribe, no better
man could be found in or out of the Dem
ocratic party to look after the welfare of
the State Library, or to exercise care
over the expenditure of the library fund
for new books.
Ia closing our business association with
Mr. Hood, we find it to be closing up a
year of pleasant relations. Our &C.
quaintance made several years since, has
grown to a friendship that we appreciate
and feel will be lasting. When in few
days we say goodbye, if it shall be 8
final one to him as resident of MARKETS.
or not, we feel that our interest in his
welfare shall follow him wherever he
may go.-lHariettd Register.

Send for Mother

Dear me it wasn't enough for me to
nurse and raise family of my own, but
now, when I'm old. and expect to have
little comfort here, it is all the time,
Send for mother r'aTAnd the~ dear e4d
soul growls and grumbles, but dresses
herself as fast as she can, notwithstand-
ing. After you have trotted her off and
got her safely in your home, and she
flies around, administering rebukes and
remedies by turns, you feel easier. It's
all right now, or soon will be,-Mother's
comet
In sickness, no matter who is there
or how many doctors quarrel over your
case, everything goes wrong, somehow,
till you send for mother.
In trouble, the first thing you think of
is to send for mother
But this has its ludicrous as well as
its touching aspect The verdant young
couple, to whom baby's extraordinary
grimaces and alarming yawns, which
threaten the dislocation of its chin; its
wonderful sleeps which it accomplishes
with its eyes half open, and no percepti-
BILE futter of breath on its lips, causing
the young mother to imagine it is dead
this time, and to shrek out, "Send for
metherp in tones of fanguish-this Young
couple, in the light of the experience
which three or four babies bring, find
that they have been ridiculous, and
given mother a good many "trots" for
nothing.
Did any one ever send for mother, and
she fail to come? Neverl unless sick
ness or the infrmities of age prevented
her. As when, in your childhood, those
willing feet responded to your call, so
they still do, and will continue to do, as
long as they are able. And when the
summons comes which none yet disre-
garded, though it will be happy day
for her, it will be very dark and sad
one for you when God, too, will send for
mother
