Tho Residence Of Mr.. Roever Laid in
Ashes,

Ashes.
A big fire occurred yesterday afternoon
late on the Harrison Pike. just west of
Chevlot next to County Commissioner
Jos. NJ. Reardon's residence. The house
destroyed was the elegant mansion belong
ing to Mr.. B. H. Roever, the dry-goods
man at the corner OF Liberty and Freeman
streets. The house was one of the finest
in the neighborhood, and formerly be-
longed to Mr.. Levy, the banker.
1t was valued at S., 900 and was only par
TALLY insured.
The fire was evidently the work of an in.
cendiary, as Mr.. Roever had only left the
premises twenty minutes before the fire
broke ont The residence was reduced to
pile Of ruins. Mr.. Roever has had some
bad luck of late, as some time ago house
in Millcreek Bottoms belonging to him was
demolished by storm, causing the death
of one Of the inmates.

OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

We have, heretofore, failed tn notice
one OF the most prosperous educatiOna'
institutions OF Jackson-an institution
which was quietly established several
years ago, and has now grown to be
the largest school in Jackson. We
have reference TO the admirable "Sis-
ter's School" Of the Catholic Church
Of our city. Tho school has lately
been removed to the handsome new
ediflec erected for its accommodation
during the past summer. This school
has had very large attendance and
has been a marked success from its
very incipiency-thanks to the devoted
labOrs Of the Sisters. We are grati1ied
to learn that our Catholic friends have
very recently established another
school in our city, exclusively for boys;
II Is under the direction Of Prof. James
Cavanaugh, an accomplished teacher,
late from New Orleans; and i'm few
days they will commence the erection
Of another school-room for the accom-
modailouof the boys. We are pleased
to see such evidences Of prosperity
in the schools of our Catholic friends,
and take pleasure in recording the
fact that these important additions to
the educational facilities Of Jackson
are due entirely to the interchangeable
zeal and energy Of Father Pichcrii,
the beloved pastor Of the Catholic
Church Of Jackson.

A LIBERAL CAUCUS OR NONE.

We publish u communication from
"a Greenback Democrat", which we
trust is founded upon misapprehen-
sion. We have too high an opinion of
Gen. West to readily credit the idea
that he is willing for the purpose of
advancing any ones aspirations or
even his own to keep up position of
hostility to, and discord with, the
Democratic party, when all occasion
for any division has ceased. Any
man who would seek to segregate the
body Of Greenback votes in this State
from the Democratic party with
which they are identified upon every
issue except the finances is an enemy
to both, and to the great mass of the
people. We know from personal en-
tercoursc with them that many of the
men who have been elected to the
Legislature as Grecnbackers and indie
are sincerely DESTROYS of act
ing with the Democratic party and
of going into the Caucus for that pur-
pose, provided they can do SO upon
terms that arc not illuminating. These
mon have too much character and in
to be diverted from that
purpose or entrapped into any such
scheme as that mentioned by our cor
respondent. Tho reports, however,
which have given rise to this conf
demonstrate the correct
ness of the position for which we have
that the party should either
have caucus liberal enough to EN-
BRACE every Democrat who will abide
BY its action, or none at all. The
healing of divisions which might
weaken us In the next Presidential
election, is the only benefit, which we
AN now sec, to accrue from caucus.
Fhe policy Of exclusion will make such
divisions incurable, and Therefore
hOuld not be entertained.
