A GREAT Fear. The greatest feat we
ever heard Of in the newspaper line is the
one performed by the Baltimore american
between daylight on Saturday morning
last, and Monday morning In that space
of time the Office was removed from its
old quarters to the new and magnificent
structure on the corner of Baltimore and
South streets, and the paper issued at its
regular hour on Monday, together with
supplement containing large representa-.
ton Of the building and full description
Of il. The 4merieaa celebrated the event
by appearing in a new suit Of type, though
we think the print is too small to suit the
majority Of its readers. 1t looks well, is
using better class of paper, and is au
excellent newspaper.

NEW BANK SAFE.-The Union National

its vault new bank safe, from the manu-.

Baltimore. The safe was made expressly for

ship. 1t is very massive in its appearance,
and is made of the ost thoroughly tested
material used in the manufacture of bank
safes. In addition to its increased strength
and burglar.proof qualities, it has upon it an
improved combination lock, and also one of
"lale's Time Locks. By this ingenious
arrangement, the officers of the bank can lock
the door, so as TO prevent an entrance to the
safe, even by themselves until the hour at
which it is set to open in the morning. For
example, the time lock isset to throw its bolts
at o clock in the evening, and perform the
unlocking at O'Clock next morning. Du.
ring this time, that is from the time tits locked
IN the evening, until it unlocks Itself in the
morning, no officer OF the bank can, by any
possibility, gain access TO the interior Of the
sale This of course, effectually prevents the
success OF any attempt by masked burglars TO
seize an officer OF the bank and compel him
to open the doors, as has been repeatedly
done OF late. We understand the First Ma.
tlonal Bank of this place, has also procured
and is using safe of the same kind.

Some uneaslness was created in our little
town during last week, by the appearance in
our midst OF a case of scarlet fever. The
disease was contracted in Baltimore, but
proved to be of mild type, yielding readily
to treatment. The patient is rapidly conva
leseing. and as no other cases have occurred
up to the present, I'd inst. hopes are enter.
tanned that we shall be spared the prevalence
OF the disease as an epidemic
January, Notwithstanding he predictions
for snow and rough weather continued quite
as mild as December to It's close. Wenotice
that farmers around us are preparing for n
late spring, which is apt tc follow such an
unusually warm winter. The number of
freshly plowed fields remind one more of
April than February.
The young people, though deprived so far
OF the usual sports of the season, have not
gwen up all hopes, but look to this month to
bring out the neglected skates; set the sleigh
bells to jingling, and send the sleds on their
way rejoicing. From present indications they
are likely to have their wishes graf flied, at
least in regard to the ice.
