DEsTRUTCTIvE FIRE AT LoGANs-
! VILLE.-On Saturday, the 2lnd
inst, at about l2 O'Clock M,
fire broke ont in j B Burners dwell
ing. AS soon as the alarm was made,
people Il >ck ed to the scene and did
| their utmost TO eXtinguish il, Uut to
no purpose. 1t continued TO spread
and soon the large dwelling house OF
Hon. G. A. Aclenbach was enveloped
in flames. Both 0f these were burned
to the ground. Indications were Of
such nature at one time that it look
ed rs though the whole town would e.
come one vast sheet of devastating
flame. In very short space of time
| the roofs of twenty buildings caught
fire. Through the skill aud energy of
the Logansvilie Bucket Company the
fire was finally eXtingu'shed. Many of
the household goods Of the families
burned out were saved. The loss is
fully covered by the insurance; Mr..
Barner'S in the Home of n. Y. and
Mr.. Achenbach's in the Sugar Valley
Mutual Fi:e Insurance. Company.-
Clinton Democrat.
That was truly very close escape
for LogansyillP; and We have often
feared that a similar or worse fate may
some day tefall Milheim. In the alb
sence of all necessary appliances to ex-
tinguish or even check a fire, what
could be done TO save the town from
destruction, if fire would break out
on stormy day in the central or west
ern part ? If a fire had once gained
headwaY under such circumstances,
the people would be utterly helpless a.
gainst the destroying element.
We have no desire 10 alarm, bat feel
it our duty as journalists and citizens
to call the attention of our people, and
especially the council, to this grave
question.
The Synodcal Sunday School Con
vention that met in Aaronsburg on
Tuesday evening and adjourned on
Wednesday evenin Z, was a successful
affair. The att enhance Of delegates
| and visitors was very creditable, and the
good people of the stea dy and chuI chly
old burg manifested their interest and
app: eciation not on lV by attending al
most en- nlasSe, but by genuine hospi-
tality toward the strangers present.
There is perhaps no town within the
borders of the broad Old keystone that
| better understands to entertain any
meeting that has for its object the
promotion of Christ's kingdom upon
earth.
The essays, addresses and discus
sions were eminently practical and
pointed, and will n0 doubt leave bene-
fcialRnd lasting impression upon all
who attended and feel an interest in
Sunday School work. The cause re-
ceived good impetus.
That popular and beloved divine,
Rev. L. A. Go5wald, D. d., President
Of the Board Of Home Missions, was
present. and deliver ed two very able
and comprehensive add resses-the one
on Wonsan's lLS sion arg WorE the
other on The Relation Of Sunday School
| Instruction to Missions. These ac dresses
wee listened to with intense interest.
The Doctor held the large audience spell
bound cor bo ut an hour each time.
We feel impelled to pay cOmpll
ment to the President of the c)nven-
tion, Rev. J. A. Koser, of Pine Grove
Mills. He is one of the best presiding
officers we ever saw; and but for the
fact that he has higher office now, we
would see to it to have him nominated
| for Vice President in 1884. He would
