-OL Wednesday of last week about mid.
night, the house OF Mr.. Charles Langbein,
in CarrolltOwu, was found 20 be on fire.
The alarm was promptly sounded and the
fire company with their new engine aud the
citizens generally, rushed to the scene. The
fire was on the garret and had done consid-
cradle damage before it was got under con-
troll, having burned nearly through the roof.
How the fire originated is a mystery, as
no tire was near To communicate it. The
new engine worked admiralty, in fact too
much so, as there was nearly as much dam
age done by wafer as by fire, nevertheless,
1t undoubtedly saved the building. On
Thursday a number of the Carrolitown Ia
dies, generously went to the assistance of
Mrs. LanEOein and gave her a helping hand

MIR. John Bender, Of ST. Augustine, has
leased the well known Cambria House in
this place, and will take posse sstoE about
. the 1st of April Mrs. c. Foster has rented
the Laird House in Greensburg, and Will re-
move TO that place about the same time
Mr.. Henry Foster, the husband OF Mrs. Fos-
ter, took charge of the Cambria House more
than quarter OF century ago, ana it has
been under the management of the family
ever since. Some five or six years ago, Nj.
Foster died and since that time Mrs. Foster
has conducted the business herself. She
( understands all the requirement of a land
lady and the management of a hotel, and we
have no doubt but that she will meet with
success at Greensburg. Mr.. Bender is a
well known citizen, formerly OF Carroll
township, and we haye every confidence
that the house will lose none of its we'll
earned reputation while under his charge.
