IN MEMORY OF WILLIE EARLY.

RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO MS MOTHER.
Do not grieve, dear friend, for Willie,
He is with the angels nowj
There he swells his angel chorus,
With a crown upon his brow.
Though you loved your little Willie,
Surely Jesus loved him best
So be came with arms so loving
And bore him to his home OF rest
Like rosebud in the morning
Was this little life TO thee
But, dear friend, to save such aowsrets,
Jesus died upon the tree.
Yield your darling then to Jesus,
To his tender loving breast;
For to them he calls so early
He giyetb everlasting rest. So,

SEWING MACHINE CONTEST. Repre-.
sentatiyes Of the Domestic and Singer sewing ma
chimes met at Miss Lizzie Gissey's sowing room on
Third street last Saturday afternoon. to test the
merits of their respective machines in regard to
their facilities for doing light and heavy work.
Miss Gissoy was to act as judge, and her decision
was to determine which was the boss. After wit
Messing fair and thorough trial, she expressed
herself decidedly in Jaror Of the Domestic. The
work done was marvellous. Stitching was done
through half dozen thicknssses Of heavy woolen
cloth, rs we'll as through sole leather, French kip,
Tablespoon, piece of board and various other
articles. Work was also done on the finest lace
The Singer used saddlers sewing silk, and the
Domestic used No. 60 spool cotton. A number
Of persons were present to witness the contest
Specimens Of the work done by both machines can
be seen at the store Of Mr.. II. A. Kratzer. Miss
G. has worn out one Singer machine, and is there
by more competent to judge in a transaction Of
this character than II she had never had any ex-
pericnco. This is certainly a victory for the
Domestic, and asit was challenged to enter this
contest it is with little degree Of pride that its
operators carried of the laurels.

A BIG FIRE.
Destruction or ruE CLEARrIELD FIRE BRioK
WORKS


Many Of our citizens were compelled to turn
out Of their comfortable beds last Sunday mora
ing much earlier than usual on account Of the
alarm Of FIRE being given, caused by the cleardeld
Fire Brick Works being all In ablaze. The alarm
was given between Q and o'clock A. NJ, and
when We drst noticed It, the two. story building
at the west end Of the yard was all mass Of
hame, the hoat from which was intense. 1t was
at FIRST thought useless to even try to save the
sheds and shop buildings near by but an organ.
nation was Effected and with the earnest aad
well directed efforts Of the bucket brigade the
long sheds adjoining the buildings were saved, aud
nothing was destroyed except the main building
and contents
The residence Of Mrs. S. S. Liddell was in i'm
minent danger, and no doubt was saved by the
favorable direction in which the wind was blow
ing at the time. The burden of the heat seem
ed to 60 up and over the hill, in the direction of
Hoyt 4 Co.'S tannery, which was IN danger Of
being set on Gre by flying sparks and live Goals.
We are informed that large pieces Of eharred
wood fell on the roofs 10 that vicinity, but failed
to ignite.
The rspdty With which the ere accomplished
Its destruction was astonishing 1t was estimated
by some that from the timo tie ire was hrst no.
ticed until the building fell in not more than
thirty minutes had elapsed.
How the cOnAagration originated is not exactly
known. The Waterman had just left the yard
but shor. time before, and no indication Of any
thing being wrong was noticed by him. It is
supposed to have caught from the nues under the
drying floor in the building at the west end
Of the works. Tho loss is estimated at S25 900.
There is an insurance Of Sl2,5OO on the building
and conten is, divided among six different com.
panies.
This establishmont gave employment to about
thirty men and boys, most Of whom will be given
work at clearing away the rubbish, as it was de.
termined at meeting Of the directors on Monday
afternoon to rebuild at once. The new works
will be superior in many respects to those burned.
The old machinery will bo repl aeed by improved
and better arrangement of the same will be
secured.
They have large new engine at the machine
shops about completed It was very fortunate
for the Company that It was not placed iu posi-
tion before the FIRE occurred
The Company hold policies in the following
companies represented by the agency Of Mcssrs.
