CONFLUENCE ITEMS.
On the night OF the ith between the hours
of 10 and IL, flames were seen issuing from q
barn on the hin over on the Fayette side. be-
longing to John a. Walker OF this place,
which resulted in the entire destruction Of
the building aud all its contents. Mr. Sam
uel Conway. the tenant on the property,
with his entire family, were in town help
ing TO celebrate the 4th and had left no one
on the premises. snd were on their way
home when they first discovered the fire, but
could not reach il in time TO save either the
building or any of its contents. There was
about ton of old hay in the barn where
the fire seemed to have originated. Mr.
Walker had but little property IN the barn
outside of the hay. a horse hay rake, some
buckwheat and few other articles Of less
value, but Mr.. Conway had nearly all his
farming implements including his wagon
and harness stored away in the building
and consequently all was destroyed. This is
hard blow on Mr.. C. as it viii cause him
no little inconvenience to replace
them. There was no live stock except few
chickens in the building. The barn was
insured to the amount of 81 coo dollars. II
must have been the work of an incendiary.
The celebration and entertainment in the
public park on the 4th. under the auspices
of the NJ Z. Church, was a success. The
day being a very pleasant one, the people
came from far and near ard swelled the
crowd into proportions unusually large for
this place.
At the grove, east of town, there was also
a basket picnic and plenty Of dancing. es-
peeially in the evening. In the park the
forenoon was taken up by speech making.
one of the most unepjoyable exercises to
young folks that could be placed upon The
program. unless some distinguished man or
speaker is announced, it distracts more than
il adds TO the occasion. The speeches made
upon this occasion failed to attract the peo-
pie except perhaps one made in the after
noon, by Prof Dively, of Meyersdale, which
was listened to with seemingly more inter
est
The afternoon. with the exception Of the
one speech referred to, was taken Up by a
number Of dialogues. orations. music, Solos,
Quartetts &c by the young folks, who did
themselves credit except in some OF the
songs, in which they did not come up to
time. There are some very creditable per-
formers here.
The evening was beautiful and the largest
balloon ever brought to this place, was sent
up and closely watched by many eyes until
il disappeared in the distance. 1t rose
