The old, and perhaps witty saying of
Horace Greedy, ''Young man go West
has taken effect among some of our
young mel, especially a trio of three,
of which we speak. The eldest of the
Trio intends starting a boarding house;
the smallest, but not youngest, will en-
deavor to start a printing establish
ment; the youngest and largest of the
trio, will still continue the barber bus
mess. They have all pledged to patron
lie each other in his branch of business
and we have no doubt but what the
small trio will prosper successfully in
their e career, judging from the
superexcellent manner in which they
transact business at home.

AT about half-past Two O'Clock on
Saturday morning, Mr.. Edward Law
renee, IA Warrington farmer, had &C.
casion to look Out into his yard when
he saw, in the dim light, a strange man
walking out of his yard. Mr.. Law
renee thought this strange, and about
twenty minutes afterward heard a roar
ing noise. Upon locking out into the
yard again Mr.. L. discovered his new
house, which has been in course of
construction the past summer, was on
fire. Twenty minutes thereafter the
new houses was in ashes. Since tear
ing down the old house Mr.. Lawrence
and family have been living in the
wagon-house, and of course all house
hold goods were saved from destruc-
ton. The wind, pioyidentially, was
blowing from the eastu ard, which pre-
vented the fire from communicating to
the other buildings.
1t is generally agreed that the house
was set on fire, but whether malicious
ly or not, is q question. Several weeks
ago when the house was first enclosed,
the carpenters discovered n morning
that some one had male a bed of a pile
of shavings and slept thereon. Two or
three mornings after the same fact Was
again noticed. 1t is thought that IA
tramp slept in the building on Friday
night, and like all tranps, he smoked,
During the night it is thought that he
wanted to smoke, and the fire from the
match communicated t. the ~shayings,
and being unable to put it out, he fled.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Lawrence had
his Farmers Mutual Fire insurance
Co.'s policy for $1,000 transferred from
the old to the new house. The loss, it
is thought, will not exrted $1,000, and
is therefore covered by insurance. Mr..
Joseph Stretch, of Alloway, the boss
carpenter, and his force, lost all their
tools, the former losing 500 WORTH
South Jerseyman.
