a DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Bradlcy's FIGURING Mill Burned


At about twenty minutes past one
O'Clock dense smoke was seen issu.
ing from the upper story of Bradley'a
Mill on the corner of Chestnut aud
given and hundreds of people rushed
to the spot. The fire companies we're
promptly on hand and went to work
with will. Old No, was soon in
working order and did most effective
service, but the fire had gained such
herdway as to render it pretty evident
that the boys would be unable to haE-
die it alone or even with the aid of
the bucket brigade. The steamer had
steam up in good time, but, unfortu-
nately, just as she commenced Eer
work a fue gave out, and it became
necessary to suspend operations for
repairs. These were speedily made,
but no sooner was she well at her
work again than section of hose gave
out, and while that was being replaced
by another the machine was removed
from the reservoir on the square to
the oae on Bowery street. The boys
Of the Old Phenix were putting in
their best efforts, but the flames were
beginning to pour from the burning
building and no effort of theirs could
by any possibility save the mill, and
all hands turned their attention TO the
saving of the dwelling house Of Mr..
Bradley, situate but fifteen or twenty
feet distant on the same lot. The
wind was blowing briskly from the
northeast, carrying the flames directly
towards the dwelling, and the work
of saving it seemed like desperate
undertaking. But the Phenix boys
went Mt the work with a will, and
with the assistance of the bucket
brigade, it was kept well soaked with
water until the weatherboards of the
mill were pretty much burned of and
the heat had somewhat subside led, W hen

building which threatened to spread
the flames, came to the rescue and lev
eled the stout frame to the ground.
In just about two hours from the first
alarm the work was ended and Brad
iey's fine mill was among the things
that were.
The fire caught in the second story,
but by what means we are unable to
ascertain. Mr.. Bradley had gone to
his dinner and supposed he had lett
everything in its usual safe condition.
The boiler was set in an arch and en-
tirely encased in brick, and it is
thought, is uninjured. How much |
damage was done to the engiue W are
unable to state.
The loss is heavy one to Mr.. B..
and to our town. 1t is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, which is but
slightly covered by insurance, which
amounts to only $4,000, in the Kuox
Mutual. The residence is insured i'm

R.sfundinU Municipal Debts.

Our exchanges contain the items given
below, which we reproduce to show our
citizens that elsewhere as well as here, the
subject of curtailing public expenses by
funding outstanding debts at lower rate
of interest is engaging public attention and
receiving earnest consideration:
The county court of Pike county is con-
sidering the propriety of refundiDg a
portion of its debt at lower rate of in
terest. About $4,000 bonds, bearing 10
per cent. interest, are now past due, and it
is proposed to refund them at per cent
interest, which would effect a saving of
$4,000 year-a very considerable item,
these hard times. Propositions have been
made to effect the negotiation at Ia cost of
2! per cent. on the amount refunded. but
the court thinks this is too high rate,
and wants it done for II per cent.
The Clay county court has ordered an
election to be held on the It'll of July to
take the sense of the people on the propo-
sition to convert $4,000 10 per cent.
bonds into an equal amount bearing not
less than s per cent. interest, redeemable
at the pleasure of the county after January
l, 1878, and payable January s, 1899. The
proposition, if carried out, would save the
county in interest $4,000 year, and this
if devoted to the reduction of the principal
would materially accelerate the extinguish
ment Of it, Jefferson city has called il
100000 Of its bonds, and invites proposal
for new ones, bearing 6, and per cent
interest. The bulk of municipal bonds o
the state were issued during the extrava
CANT era that closed with 1873, and bea
10 per cent interest. That rate is to-
high; it is more than money is worth.

The Chief Justice of the United States,

better afford to bear it in silence than to

be equally in bad taste for the Chief JUS

This solution of Magnesa is found particularly

An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrid eructatons and sourness or irreg-

The solution is of itself an aperent but its laxa-

with it, or directly after it, little lemon juice mix

The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
to the presence of much carbonic acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. As
lotion for the mouth, 1t sweetens the breath, and
the Magnesia cleans the teeth from tartar.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet is good
article of Soap but to procure it is not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriOHs
materials, and their delicate coorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsiye i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this ject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly If applied to the head inuring the hair, irrta
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of n gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
PERI Ons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure art-
Gle OF toilet soap is at last Obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill Of Mr..
d. Z. Babbitt, of New York, the WOrld-renowned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years Of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinE the
composition of the firest toilet soap ever intro
oBced The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original; and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry
- b. 7. Babbitt's Toilet Soap is the trade marx
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin OF infants
children and ladies' 1t is altogether unequaled in its
emOllient properties. This Soap 1s not perfumed,
the Ingredients being Of such absolute purity TO
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence OF artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic OF B. T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind eyer manufgc'
tured.
Though specially desirable for the of ladies'
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentemen's toilet, and as ii makes heavy lather
1t is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS
1t Is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,
