of Carlisle, was broken into and robbed of

eB William Delafeld, passenger by
the steamer Samaritan, from Liverpool,
was arrested at Quebec on Saturday week,

Monongahela township, Greene county,
fifty years of age, who has never been in a

miles of the Monongahela river for forty

sB- Workmen while digging near the
outskirts of Hazelton on Saturday came
upon the fossil remains of huge creature,
which evidently belonged to an antediluvian
age. The portions that have been un-
earthened SO far are supposed to have
formed part of the vertebrae, and indi-
cate an animal of immense size. 1t is
thought that careful removal of the re-
mainder of the skeleton may determine it's
species.

On MONDAY of last week fire broke
out in an upper room of the Patent
office, which resulted in the destruction
of the valuable models and records of
the office. The land office was also
damaged and many valuable papers
were wet and destroyed. 1t is feared the
fire will cause much trouble and expen-
sive litigation. The fire is supposed to
have originated from defective flue.
The loss is variously estimated at from
$500 600 to $700,000.

ES' A deplorable state of affairs is
said to exist at Sitka, since the with
drawal of the troops at that place. There
is now no protection either for life or
property. There is not a semblance of
law, either civil, military or naval, and
no power whatever to restrain the law
less elements. The white residents in
tend to abandon the country as soon as
possible. Already the Indians have be-
gun to plumber the public buildings, car
rying away doors and windows, tearing
down and burning for fuel the stockade
about the deserted garrison. There is no
authority to interfere and prevent the
demolition of the place, and massacre
of the inhabitants is feared.

Another fire at New Lisbon.

On Saturday morning the fire fend
again visited New Lisbon, and the re-
suit of his labor was the entire des-
truction of block of business houses.
The fire was discovered between one
and two o'clock in the morning, at
which time the whole front and interi-
or of [. A. Halls store was found in
flames. The fire rapidly spread to the
adjoining buildings, the bakery occu-
pied by George Walters, Marlow's
meat market and Andrew Leicht's sa-
loon all rapidly falling before the
flames. From Halls store nothing of
consequence could be saved. Richard
Smith occupied the upper part of this
building as law Office. He lost ev-
erything in the Office, his library, fur
niture, and Office books and papers.
The occupants of the other building.
saved part Of their stock, but all in a
sadly damaged condition.
The following are the reported losses
/. A. Hall, general groceries, building
and stock, $4,000, insured for 81. 200.
N. H. Southworth's building, occupied
by A NARROW as a meat market, loss
$500, no insurance. Mallow saved
nearly all his stock. George Walters,
bakery good. building. loss $1,000,
insurance $500 on building, stock
nearly all saved. Andrew Leicht, sa-
loon and billiard rooms, building and
stock. loss 80 500. insurance 81. 800.
Richard Smith, law Office, loss $500,
no insurance This last loss though
inconsiderable in amount. must cause
by reason of the destruction of Mr.
Smiths books, papers and documents
very serious inconvenience to him and
to his business correspondents.
The origin of the fire is a profound
mystery. Citizens who passed up the
street but short time before the fire
was discovered, report that they saw
no fire or light in Halls store, where
the fire originated, yet but shortly af-
terward the whole store was found
ablaze. This fire would at any time
be serious disaster to the village, and
coming as it does now Immediately af-
ter the great fire that destroyed the
business houses upon the opposite side
of the street, it must fall with almost
crushing force on New Lisbon's bust
ness men. Still we are sure that they
will not fold their hands in idleness
but will brace themselves to the task
of rebuilding the waste places, and
will soon show us better and more
substantial lot of buildings than those
destroyed. -Mauston Star.

Editor Reporter Sir Permit me
through your columns to say that [
have attended many gatherings, but
never attended enc that would compare
with the one held at the house of B.
r. Tarbox in the town of Wood, on
Monday evening of the 25th of Dec.
1876. There was in attendance over
seventy adults besides large number
of children, all expecting to receive
some gift or present that had been
placed upon the tree for them. After
the presents were arranged on the tree,
the exercises opened by singing by Mr..
MIS-. Dawes, then prayer by Mr.. Dawes
Singing led by Mrs. Hammel joined
by others. They sang "There is a
home Eternal, after which a few re-
marks by Mr. Dawes And through
the whole exercises profound silsnce
reigned, nor was there the smell of
whiskey nor yet of tobacco smoke at
least in the room where the presents
were distributed. [ cannot leave this
without saying few words of the lady
like appearance of S. A. Hammel and
Katy Brady, the committee to deliver
the gifts, the grace with which they
delivered them and to note the pleas
ure with which they were received.
would make anyone think that it was
more blessed to give than to receive.
Long may Mr.. Tarbox and lady live
to enjoy and bless social society and
when they leave this life, they may go
from the portals of praise to the tenn
pie of light.
