intrinsic virtues, ana sustained Dy It's re-
markable cures So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,

Female Weakness, Debility, and

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
life.

On Monday morning last, at about half past
two, the startling cry of fire was heard, and in Il
few moments all the bells in town were ringing
out their wild aarums. 1t did not take long to
ascertain where the fire was. When first dis
covered the rear of the buildings on the north
east corner of Main and Iron stects were in
flames. The fire soon spread to the clothing
store OF a. j. Evans the grocery store of w. H.
Brown and the jewelry store of Louis Bern
hard and did not abate until all three build
ings were reduced to ashes. Mr. Bernhard sue
ceeded in removing his property from the front
room, except a large iron safe, which contained
most Of his valu bles. On Monday after Don it
was taken from the ruins and opened and the
contents found somewhat tarnlshed but not ruin
ed. Mr.. Bernhards loss is about six hundred
dollars, nearly covered by insurance 4. j.
Evans estimates Lis loss from eight to nine
thousand dollars. Insurance, $4,000 W. II.
Brown lost all his store goods and some house
hold goods. Loss not estimated. We have not
learned the loss Of Mr.. Bates, who had shoe
shop over Evans.
But for the Friendship Fire Company, which
was promptly ON the ground and our cnterpris-
ing townSman George Risewicl, who supplied
the eng inc with water from his sprinkler, the
fire would have been far more disastrous than it
was. Tho frame building on the south side OF
Main street occupied by c. c. Mari as store
and dwelling, and Simon c. Shive's block,
would certainly have burned but Tor them; the
brick store and dwelling Of d. A. Greasy could
hardly have been saved. In fact, it was on fire
several times and the window castings toward.
the fire were burned out but by the judicious
Use f water the firemen controlled it and saved
the bull ding. The Friendship engine is good
one, and if we had any way Of supplying it with
water it would do more elective work than il
does now, having to depend on the sprinkler
and buckets. A Hook and Ladder Company
could have helped considerably by throwing
over the walls of the burning buildings. Per.
haps this last disaster will cause our citizens to
talk about water works for few days, after
which we need not expect to hear any more
about them until the next fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown. There
were no stoves Burning IN any of the buildings,
and the lateness of the hour at which the cOnfa-
grafton started makes it look as though il were
the work of an incondiary. There is no proof
Of this, however. A. j. Evans will continue
his business on the corner Of Main and Iron
streets, in the store formerly occupied by w. +.
Hess. Louis Bernhard has moved into Cad
mans store room. 1t il probable that the burnt
corner will be rebuilt at once

1t is not often that travelling street shows
amount to much, but on Friday last wan
dering Italian gave an exhibition on the
corners that was quite wonderful. He had
a cage containing two paroquets, two other
birds that looked like bulfnches, and a
number of mice. One of the paroquets fired
Off pistol, and when different pieces OF
money were placed before it, it struck a bell
as many times as their were cents in the
piece. The mice performed a number of in.
teresting tricks on Il sort of trapeze. One
of them stole spoon lying on the platform
and carried it to his cage. The trainer said
the mouse was named Ben Butler. Alto.
gether, the display of intelligence by these
little birds and animals was very remarka.

HORSE THIEVES ABOUT
AN ENCIrISG CHASE.

The large number of horses which have been
stolen in our county lately should put our read
crs on their guard, In fact, if the peoplewould
take the COLUMBIAN and keep track of events
fewer losses would ensue and detection Of thieves
would be easier.
On last Friday c. Il. Funston, a livery stable
keeper at Catawissa, was induced by man Civ
ing his name as Levi Gable to hire him his best
horse, buggy and harness for the ostensiblc pur.
| pose of going to Orangcvillc, and from there to
Jerseytown, 10 return Saturday afternoon. The
rig stopped for supper at the Excai &c, and
has not been definitely traced since. The man,
who called himself Leyan, was generally ac-
quainted in the neighborhood, and alleged that
he had been working for VIM. lIollings head in
the valley, and spoke of the later's having co.ne
to Funston's for coal. 1t is alleged that he goes
by The alias Of John Whipple.
| On Saturday last horse of Douglas Hughes
was also stolen. Now last harvest Mr. Hughes
had about $50 stolen from him by an employee
named George Felterman. Learning that he
had a sweetheart in the wills of Sullivan, Mr..
Hughes, reinforced by Mr. Funstor started in
that direction in pursuit, Just beyond Sones,
town a man on horseback was about passing
them when Mr. Hughes suddenly recognized
his horse and the rider. The latter started
on run-the buggy was TUNED in "A twnkling
aud shot was fired by Funston, which is be.
lieyed to have taken effect in the criminals
arm. The chase became exciting Hughes got
out-so did u spoke-ior Sullivan roads are
macadam lied with upright stones. But Fun
ston's pony was gaining on the fugitive, and lac
escaped to the woods. Search was instituted for
him, and about 8 o'clock on Monday afternoon
he was found in blackberry thicket, cnrled up
like snake. On seeing his pursuers he dc,
mandel to see the warrant. A revolver con
yinced him, and he went quietly towards La
porte. Out West he wouldn't have got out OF
the woods. This shows our superior ciyliza-
ton. lie was promptly lodged in Jail and
handcniIed; bur if the Jail il no better than
ours he need not stay longer than he chooses,
S75 reward is offered by Mr.. Funston for the
I return of his property, and S25 for the capture
u of the man.

their way they were encountered by another
neighbor who had fortified himself with an UNI
