Tbc Chester County Fire.

The West Chester Local Neacs, gives
the following additional particulars OF
the extensive fire ut Mr.. John Huey's
farm, near Lenape station, Chester
county, Pa, which was duly reported
in Yesterdays GAZETTE:
One hundred bushels OF rye, 10 tons
OF rye straw and about thirty tons Of
hay, besides all the farm implements
to the flames.
The place is occupied by hired man,
Joseph Wurlow, who had lived on 1t for
two years, but was going 10 move on
Monday. He says he saw the fire about
four O'Clock and that 1t was then under
full headway. Without waiting to dress
he ran down to get the stock out, and
succeeded in driving one COW TO the door
when she wheeled around, knocked him
down and ran back. He then tried to
loose the oxen, but they were so violent
that no one could get near them.
Mr.. Wurlow bad to throw his coat ov
er hs head and run under the flames in
order to escape. While he was still in
the barn one corner Of the NOV fell
down.
The stock was all owned by Mr.. Huey,
and there was but little insurance 0n III
on the barn there was $1,000, on the
dwelling 5000, and on the contents $1,000
There is no doubt at all that the fire
was started by an incendlary. When
Mr.. Wurlow got down to the Barn the
flames were burning in dozen places
about the doors where the stock would
have /. TO escape. The barn. doors Oh
the threshing floor had also been thrown
open to give it additional draught.
There is much excitement in the neigh
borhood over it, and the general opinion
seems to be that detective should bt
employed to investigate the affair.

A STRANGE CHARACTER.
A Son OF sunny Italy Supposed to
be Flighty.

Ne
In the District Court yesterday after
noon the examination Of an Italian,
charged with insanity, came up. To hear
the italian talk and answer questions be-
fore the Court n would hardly thiR!a him
''off." He proved to have a wonderful
memory Of dates, and, as the Judge re-
marked, was not a bit crazy in his under
standing Of the Nevada laws of marriage
and divorce. Blu when the witnesses were
called in the case, their testimony showed
him up as being, at least, a very eccentric
individual. At his sage-brush home, at
their breakfast hour, he would regale tho
ear OF his partner with all manner Of hob
goblin stories 0 what he had seen dur
ing the night previous-a white and a bay
horse were capering about the premises all
night rats, wild geese and centipcdes
were kicking gravel in his eyes he would
stop vegetable wagons, on their way to
Eureka, take an invoice of their outfits,
and tell the pcddlar to move on would
play leap-frog from one bunk to another
about the house in the middle Of the night,
and If he caught a fellow who wouldn't
wake up he'd choke him a little. When
brought into town he wanted to perambu-
late the streets in a foot-racer's costume:
swore that the barber who was deputized
to shave him looked like q murderer, and
not until after much persuasion would he
submit to the tonsorial operation. After
all the above testimony had been delivered
before the Italian. he looked rs though he
wanted to be adjudged insane.

Charles Lauzier, this morning, throws
open the doors of the Epicurean Restau-
rant to the public. Emphatically, he is
an Imperial cook" and as a caterer and
general manager in the restaurant bust

no praise OF him at our hands. His name
is a sufficient guarantee of success in his
line. The restaurant is well located--cor-
ner Of Buel and Bateman streets. The ear
of the hungry patron will not be Jared by
the cracked voice Of a waiter as he goes up
a scale of edibles from bologna sausage to

Abiding to the suspension of work in
the tunnel, the NeSs of Saturday says:
"Some think the suspension will be but
temporary, while Others see in it a long
period Of delay, and correspondingiy blue
outlook for this section the coming Winter.
1t does not look reasonable that the COM
pany will suspend operations on this work
now for any great length of time, as they
have just reached a point where prospect
ing is practicable, and the chances of ind
ing are SO favorable, az indicated by the
upper workings of the ground in the inn
mediate vicinity of where work has been
stopped. In the North Aurora, on Treas
ure Hill, the company have about sixty
miners taking out ore in the old chambers,
and we learn that the prospects at that
point continue to improve. The mill is
running constantly, and in all probability
will continue to do so till late in tho fall.
This is how matters stand here, but of
what may be going on at the other end of
the line we will have to await further de-
yeloDments.n

progress has been made in mining opera
tons this week, there having been some
265 feet Of drifts, ETC., run since last report.
The ore bodies are all looking full as well
as ever, and continue to yield their full
quota Of ore. Tho furnaces have been run
ming much better this week than during the
first two weeks of the month, having turned
out some $40 tons Of bullion, the product
of 1000 tons of ore. The bullion has inn
proved in value, as the ore is of a better
grade than that worked during the first
part of the month.
Sixth level-West drift continued 30 feet,
with no change to report in its condition

Seventh levcl-Intermediate drift con-
tinued 26 feet, and is nov in 90 feet, with
no change to mention Wine sunk IA feet,
and is now down So feet, with good ore all
the way.
Eighth level-Drift from ore chamber
continued 40 feet, and is now in rs feet,

from ore chamber and made % feet, run
ming in good ore all the way.
Ninth level--West drift continued 38 feet,

The following is the official letter of Su-
perintendent Powell, forwarded to the
company's Office in San Francisco on the
25th instant:
d. A. JENNINGS, secretary-Dear Sir:
Since my last report we have completed
the work OF timbering the winze, and put
in a chute on the 450-foot level, and have
commenced stopping out ore between the
$50 and 450-foot level. The ore bodies are
opening up finely. In the north drift, 80
feet below the 250-foot level, the ore body
has materially improved, both in width
and the quality Of the ore; it carries a
heavy percentage of lead, and is above the
average in gold and silver. We nave started
a drift from the chute in the east crosscut,
i5c feet to run in a southerly direction,
under the groupings west of the Office; it
is now in 90 feet, the face in stained vein
matter. The prospecting drift on the west
end of the main south drift, 450-foot level,
$50 feet from the station, shows tie full
size of the face in ore but slightly mixed
with iron. The G00-foot level is now in
1884 feet, the face in broken limestone and
iron. j. C. POWELL, Superintendent.

The Entire Force Attack md Put
to Flight n Celestial.

to Flight n Celestial.
The swarm of dogs owned by the va
rious operatives about the SENTINEL Office
are generally considered, by our towns
people, to be as worthless a crew as could
be collected in Eastern Nevada, but the
way they went for and cleaned out a
heather, last evening, entities them to a
notice. There's Archie, a s~uperanuated
canine, whom everybody on the coast
knows and 10 thief fears; whose age has
entitled him to q vote for the past two
years; q veteran whose record, as a tramp,
was published years ago; a specimen, now
whose bones have SO long stood up through
his yellow hide that they resemble a col
lection Of wcll-kept meerschaum bowls
in fact, age, getting loaded, and the gen.
eral rheumatic tendency OF the various
climates through which he has Travelled;
all things combined, lave weighed the old
dog down until he eyinces no more style
or ambition than s.Multitude's" off-wheeler.
Dixie is different. She's young, small,
black, active, good looking, and the mother
Of a promising family-a boy and two
girls. At a christening the boy was dub
bed .'Beecher," from the fact that he dis
plays a wonderful aptitude for leading the
sisters about-by the ear.
About 4 o'clock last evening things were
gliding smoothly along in the composing
room when there slipped into the middle
Of the room a Celestial with the following
at the end OF his tongue: "Plintee man
gotec oil papeei" The words were no more
than out until Dixie had her teeth fastened
into the Chinaman's Cossack oy.ralls;
Archie went with a rush at their victim,
but made a miss in his calculations OF
where All Chung was, aud fell stiff in the
doorway, while Bcechcr and the sis ers dis
appeared, like rats, into the recesses Of the
paste-pot. For full five minutes the Chi
naman displayed an activity that would
rival the l~iveliest motion Of the cleg-
dancer, Dick Sands, in his palmiest days.
The Chinese slippers ratified on the floor,
over the cases and among the lamps equal
to a spiritual manifestation in a bone
yard. John" was going up and down the
wall with the regularity (but with much
greater rapidity) Of the Savage pump-rod;
he was skimming over the floor like a turtle
with a live coal on its back, and with Dixie
still swinging at the end of his shank.
Finally one Of the most active Of the COM
positors succeeded in getting hold of Dixie,
another dragged Archie from the door
way, and with a how like a cross between
a steam-whistle and the yelp of dying
Comanche, All Chung parted company
witt the ''plintee man."

The select party, which moved off in

turned to report a joyous day spent at
ing by the wayside.
Three wagons, propelled by empower,

days to get into the Ward district, ninety
miles, by this kind Of an express.
There were reports OF a skirmish in a

Asa Green caused the issuing Of docu-

As the heat increases in the approaching

Judge Rives is the only aspirant for judi

event he is called upon to dispense justice
in Eureka, White Pine and Lincoln coun-

Two important strikes have lately been
made in the leading mines of Ruby Hill.
The Richmond was first to the front with
an important development, and now comes
well authenticated rumors of a splendid
find on the 1200-foot level Of the Eureka

doubt it, this is the deepest point at which
ore has been found in this district. 1t is
doubly important from this fact, as it tends
largely to assure the future Of Eureka.

expense arranging a column or so Of Sun

protested-they claim that such produc-

as near heaven as he ever wants to be after
reading one Of the articles-another is SO
contented that he tumbles off into a SUM

reported better, and it is limited that har-
