ORIENTAL, May 3, 1884.


Yesterday (Friday,) forest fire
broke out about one mile north of
the Seven Stars tavern, in Green
wood township, which proved to be
the most destructive that ever occur
red in the east end of the county.
The unusual high wind tanning
the fire, caused it to spread with al
most increditable rapidity, running
through woods and fields, spreading
over the entire scope known as Ger
many 1t proved dangerous and
destructive enemy. Upwards of B.,
600 acres of land WAS burned over,
and, as it went over the small farms,
the old dry grass which was not yet
sufficiently covered with new grass,
caused the fire to spread over the
farms as it would through tow, and
although some of the buildings were
saved, yet six buildings and all the
fences over the entire scope were
consumed by the flames. The fol-
lowing embraces the list of buildings
destroyed: George Dressler, barn !;
Col. Geo. T. Mcfarland, house and
stable, in the occupancy of Isaac
Dressler, who lost all his household
goods; Mrs. Keesling, house and
stable Rev. III. Eberly, stable. The
house of Mr. Eberly had taken fire
on one side of the roof, which was
covered with flames and seemingly
destined to destruction, when a sud
den puff of wind tore off the burning
shingles, throwing them out into the
open fields and the house was saved.
The origin of the fire will in all
probability be legally Investigated
and your reporter therefore forbears
to mention any names. AMcUs.

An exchange says: Attorney Gen
eral Cassidy, in letter to the Audi
tor General, gives his opinion that
certain Judges of Common Pleas
Courts are not entitled to S12 per
day when they hold Courts outside
of their counties, because the act Of
1871 making this allowance was re-
pealed by the Judicial Salary act of
June, 1888, which says no Judge ap-
pointed or elected and commissioned
after the passage of the act is entitled
to any compensation beside his SAL
airy. The opinion was brought out
in a claim by Judge Seely, of the
Wayne and Pike districts, who held
Court in other countries and pre-
sented his bill to the Auditor Gen
eral. As he had been elected and
commissioned since the passage of
the act of 1888 his claim was not al
lowed The Judges in commission
prior to the passage of the act are
the only ones who can receive com
pensation besides their salaries.

signed by Representatives Joseph
ID. Taylor, of Ohio; johnson, of New

Louisiana, its author being the first

and suggests that it might have been

or was the work of a committee of
anti. Mormon preachers. 1t is, in
fact, summary of much that has
been said and reported against the
Mormons since 1867, when Seere-

which the army was sent to Utah.

POISONED COFFEE.

A Brooklyn newspaper, appar-

boom the poisoned coffee scare that
has been presented so many times
and SC often exploded. 1t says that
investigation by the health authori-
ties of New York and Brooklyn OF
the processes employed for polish
ing and dressing green coffee beans
shows that arsenite Of copper is
used, and that samples Of coffee thus
artifciaIly frightened in color have
been found to "contain arsenic in
such large quantities that cup of
coffee of the consistency usually
consumed at the breakfast table
contains about one fifty-thirj of a
grain of arsenic, or more than the
usual medical dose of that drug"
Even if the Brooklyn ed
itor's assertions in regard
to the presence OF arsenic
in the morning beverage be true. his
deduction is erroneous end frail,
coffee>using man is not in the great
danger that he pictures. Physicians
say the usual dose Of arsenic, in the
form it is generally used, is one

courts opened to her, and now we
presume the Quaker City Will
resound with her eloquence., Mrs.
Kilgore's husband is also a
lawyer, and he also has been fur
thering, her demands for admission
to practice. Her claims were re
jected by three of four divisions OF
the Common Pleas Court, but the
fourth granted her prayer on the
ground that che is "of an honest dis.
position and learned in the law, /"
which are the only conditions inn
posed by the law. The presiding
Judge laid down this doctrine: "If
there is any longer any such thing
as what old-fashioned philosophers
and esssyists used to call the sphere
of woman it is not, it must be adj
mitted, a sphere with an intimate
and determined radius. She is found
in all the pursuits and professions
of life, not only working out her
own independence, but entering il to
competition with men for the high
est rewards Of ambition. It is sur
prising that anyone should speak
with apprehension of an impending
social change by which women are
to seek fortune and fame in fields
which were formerly denied to
them. Such persons should awake
from their slumbers-the revolution
