ing

The dwelling house, on the farm of VIM.
Allison, Esq, in Fermanagh township, and
occupied by Mr.. Leech, was totally de-
stroyed by fire on Tuesday morning. The
fire originated from the stove-pipe which

On last Monday while Noah A. Elder was
narrowing, in turning, the horses became
entangled in the gears, frightened and ran
away. Mr.. Elder however, caught them by
the bride, and held on until he fell in be-
tween the horses, and fortunately, the
harrow jumped over him. Thus in most
miraculous manner he escaped being drag
ged to death. He escaped with a scratch
or two.

Want Their MOney.-The Selinsgrove
Times says : ga number of persons who
were employed on the engineer corps to
make the survey of the Selinsgrove g. North
Branch Railroad, have so far failed to get
their pay. There seems to be no responsible
part to pay them, and these poor fellows
are driven to their wits ends to find out
how to get their pay. Then there are a
number of landlords along the route who
would like to be paid for boarding this en-
gineer corps, and they can get no pay. AS
near as we can learn the facts, they are as
fellows The employment of these men
and the securing Of their boarding along
the route of survey, was done by the chief
engineer. He expects the officers of the
company to pay these claims, as the work
was for the company but the officers of
the company do not pay for the reason that
they did not employ these men or engage
boarding for them. We publish these facts
for the benefit of the public, who may
hereafter know how to act in similar trans
actions, so as to save themselves from loss.
Such business, we think, will add credit to
no one and to no party. 1t is bad begin
ming.
