three sisters and a brother, by the
name of Haire, undertook to burn
a fire guard around their house, for
protection against fires. They are
new corners, and not being vcrsed
in fires, they did not use the amount
ofprccaution they should have done.
The fire escaped from the circle
they wished to keep it in, and the
wind springing up, it made its way
south all day Monday and Tuesday,
burning everything that lay in its
way, in shape of barns, stables, hay
stacks, grancrics, corncribs, and
several people were left homeless.
One man by the name of Daniels,
lost everything except team and
wagon which were at the railroad.
Wednesday morning the wind vcercd

fire into the eastern part Of Smith

WASHINGTON IN 1S0l.-0ne can scarcely credit
the description of Washington City, as Mrs. John
Adams found it in 1901. Mrs. A. thus speaks of
the city in that year
"Here and thore'' she writes, 'is q small cot,
without glass window, interpreted amongst the
forests, through which you travel for miles with
out seeing human being The house is upon a
grand and superb scale, requiring about thirty
servants to attend and keep the apartments IN
proper order. l could content myself almost any
whore for three months but surrounded by for
ests can you believe that wood is not to be had,
because people cannot be found to cut or cart it!
The house is made habitable, but there is not a
single apartment in it finished. We have got the
least fence, yard or other convenience without,
and the great unfinished audience room l make a
drying room of, to hang the clothes in. 1t is a
beautiful spot capable Of every improvement, and
the more I view it the more I am delighted with
it."
The "great unfinished audience room" which
Mrs. A. speaks of, is the famous East room of the
White House.

MRs. PRESIDENT HArEs.-Our regular Washing
ton correspondent, Maxwell" writes as follows Of
the dress reform inaugurated by Mrs. President
Hayes, and also of her devotion to the Methodist
Episcopal church, of which she is member:
'Should Mrs. Hayes persist in her present style
of dressing and the strict attendance at church
that has SO far marked her Washington life, she
may do much to bring into disrepute the present
cloud style" in dress and ornament so largely sf-
fected in "good society,"" besides other desirable
reforms, and make church going more popular,
while convincing many skeptics that there is one
woman at least that regards consistent life as
very becoming to profession of christianity
She has gained the reputation of being very con-
slant attendant at church, both at day and even
ing service and also at the class meeting, always
joining in the singing, and wholly addicted to the
primitive style of walking to church and kneeling
at prayer time"

gss~ The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore American on Saturday last said:
"John T. Ensor, of Baltimore county, saw the
President to-day in his own behalf as an appli'
cant for the office of United StateS District At
torney."
And on Monday the same paper had the fol-
lowing:
"a. note from John T. Ensor ESQ.,, of Balti.
more county, corrects the statement of our Wash
ington correspondent that he had presented his
claims to the President as applicant for the Of
flee of District Attorney. He says that emo one
knows better than the President that have moi
applied to him for this or any other Office. had
the pleasure of seeing the President, it is true
but did not see him in my own behalffor office
We regret the misstatement, and promptly correct
the error which our correspondent has uuinten,
tionally made"
We think the Americana Washington cores
pondent is rather over doing the thing. He pro-
fesses to know more about the appointments in
Baltimore than the President does himself. Thi'
was shown in the announcement that Gen. Tyler
was surely to have been appointed postmaster last
week, and "that the Office of United States Dis
trict Attorney will be rendered by the President
% C. Irving Dirty, Esq" These things look very
much like little plan on the part of the Ameri'
can and its correspondent to 'bulldoze" other ap
plicants for the same positions by giving them tc
understand that they have mo show" and thus
induce them to relax their efforts. Give the Pres
ident chance, we beg. 1t isn't fair to make all
the appointments for him.

REMARKABLE Casa Lady Suddenly Arises
from Bed to which She Confined by Spinal
Disease for Nearly Three Years.-Jennie Girls
singer is the name of yCang Harrisburg lady
who has recently experienced remarkable change
in her physical condition. About three years ago
she was afflicted with affection of the spine, which
gradually became worse, until she was obliged to
take her bed, from which she did not arise until
few days ago, and then under peculiar circum-
stances. She had been attended by skilful ply
sicians, who resorted to every known medical OK
pedient to relieve except the application to the
spine of o red hot iron. Two of them held a con-
sultation recently at which it was determined to
apply this terrible remedy if she consented to 90
through the ordeal. They communicated the re-
suit of their deliberations to her. but she protested
against any further medical experiments and said
she had made up her mind to trust her case to q
supernatural agency for cure and that something
had toldher to rise from her long confinement next
day. She accordingly elevated her person and sat
on a chair. The following day she walked across
the room, and since she has attended church. walk
ing with perfect case. Owing to to the protracted
confinement, she is weak, but her spine, which was
broken in three places, has been restored to its
original firmness. The physicians who had treated
the lady were called in to see her after she had
left her bed and expressed their surprise ut tho
marvellous change that had occurred. Even her
lungs which had been seriously affected, were per-
fectly sound. Miss Grissinger, who resides on
Allisons Hill, attributes her cure to divine inter-
position in answer to prayer. She had particular
ly fixed her mind on certain passages in the Bible
relating to promises. The young lady is daily
growing stronger, and she expects soon to be re-
stored to perfect health.
