will be taken in unpacking displaying, repack-

ed, and safes have also been provided for arti-
cles of great value, and the department will be
under efficient police surveillance. All per-
sons having articles in their possession which
they would like to have displayed in this de-
partment, can forward them, with correct data
concerning them, to Mr.. A. R. Reed, Sup't

The old Tooth regiment of P. V. held
pleasant reunion at Beaver Falls last Wednes-

The telegraph Office of this town was dis.
covered to be full of smoke early last Monday
morning. The alarm was given, but few
buckets of water stopped the burning, which
was chiefly confined to the insulating material
around the office wires. Some two dozen insu
lated copper wires pass from the batteries on
one side of the room, under the floor, to the
table and switch board on the other side. The
wires are insulated with parafne covered by
cotton plating, which the rats supposed to
have eaten off, allowing naked wires charged
with the different kinds of electricity to come
in contact, and generate sparks. All the insu-
lating material on the wires under the floor and
up to the switch board was burned off, and the
floor and under side of the table were scorched,
but the switchboard was but slightly damaged
One hundred dollars will probable cover the
damage done, outside of the interruption to busi-
ness. During the excitement Johnny Grieb.
whose store is in the front part of the same
room, over-exerted himself in getting out his
show cases and counters and fell in an epllep-
tic fit. The hose companies were, as usual,
promptly on hand, but one of the companies
came very near running past the place, on ac
count of not baving been informed of the To-
cation of the fire. People who notify the hose
companies of fire should always state ex-
actly where the fire is.
