Fire Benver Meadow.


FRIDAY, Oct. 5, 1S77.-About three
O'Clock this morning the good people Of
the town of Beaver Meadow were
aroused by the alarm Of fire, and upon
looking out saw that there was cause
for the alarm. Your correspondent,
who thought the watchman at No. 1,
COlerane, made mistake by blowing
the whistle too early for six O'Clock,
became convinced by the length Of the
blow, that something was wrong.
Hastily donnlng a few old clothes we
repaired to the scene of destruction, and
found that the fire demon had already
destroyed the boot and shoe manufac-
tory of MessrS. Il II. LanyOn and j..
d. Arner. Shortly after arriving at
the scene, the Odd Fellows Hall was
found to be in danger. 1t soon caught
fire and the flames soon attacked the
house and residence of Mrs. McKoy,
which burned to the ground in a short
time. The cause of the fire is unknown,
but from appearances aud from what
we cah CLEAN, must have been the work
Of an incendiary. Mr. Danyon's $ house,
in rear of the manufactOry, was also
destroyed. Mr.. LanyOn's house and
factory building were valued at about
two thousand dollars, While In manu-.
factured and unmanufactured stock,
machinery; fixtures, ETC., Messrs. Lam
yOn and Arher lose about seven thous.
and dollars, only partly covered by in
surance. Mrs. Washburne, widow
lady, whose husband was killed in the
war of the rebellion, had her property
insured in the sum of five hundred dol
lars, about one-third CT her loss. Mrs.
McKoy's house, we are informed, was
insured for one thousand dollars. Her
loss cannot be less than two thousand,
as her house was, without exception,
one Uf, if not the best, in Beaver Mead
Ow. To-day the scene of the fire, which
was one of the prettiest in town, pres
ents all appearance anything other than
pleasant to the people. Had the Odd
Fellows Hall, which at best would not
be much of loss, been torn down when
Mrs. Washburne's house took fire, and
there was plenty of time to do it., the
residence of Mrs. McKoy could have
been easily saved. The wind was very
strong during the fire, and caused the
flames to reach out along the square
until the end was reached. Mr.. John
Wears house, on the other side, escap-
ed, with water, labof aud attention.
The loss attending the burning of Odd
Fellows Hall is about six hundred dol
lars. The fire was first discovered on
the first floor of the shoe factory. Years
have elapsed since the people of this
town had the exciting and unpleasant
duty of attending a midnight fire, and
while we sympathize with cur friends,
it is not out of place to say that where
there are so many spirited citizens as
here, last nights fire may, and should
be, warning to prepare now for the
future. A lire company could be easily
formed and equipped, il not with an
engine, with pump and hook and lad
der, requirements that would be of
great use in time of need. .-Ha zleton

:.Astonishing Sdccess. IS tn,

:-AstOniShing Sdccess.-1t is the
duty of every person who has used Boss
CHEFS GERMAN SYRUP to let its won-
derful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia,
and in fact all throat and lung diseases.
No person can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor
dying consumptiVe, at least to try one
bottle, as 10000 dozen bottles were
sold last year, and no one case where
itfalled was reported. Such a medicine
as the GERMAN SYRUP cannot be too
widely known. Ask your Druggist
about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at
10 cents. Regular size 70 cents. For
sale by A. j. DurIing.
