One word in reference to fighting fires.
If men would be governed by those whe
have had experience at fighting fires,
much unnecessarily burnt land would be
saved: but some will go here and there
setting fire to parts for the purpose OF
back burning, not having considered the
direction Of the fire at all, and in short
period men who are doing efficient ser
vice will have become surrounded with
the flames, and, at great pearl Of the ii
lives, beally escape.
Let everyone before they act, thor
oughly consider the situation--the SAME
as commander does in time of battle
and act with some judgment. L.

phia extension of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The fire ragged all day, but
there not being a very strong wind il
was apparently gotten under control by
evening; but the high winds oi Tuesday
must have found sparks Smoldering III
stumps, carrying them to parts where
they ignited, spreading destruction in
every direction. At times the appear.

save any land between here and Princirio
