ror he discovered his humble dwelling

before he could reach his six children, who
were sleeping on the second floor, theSfoof

remains Of four of the. children, charred
and unrecognizable, were gathered up and
buried in one coffin. The other two were
fapparsntly burned to'ashaS as no. trace of
their remains could be found. The parents
are crazed with grief, and the whole. COM
mthtg is excited over. q horror which has
no. precedent in Clearfield County. The
fatheC: insists that the fire was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary, and lin this
opinion others share.

The Willy Muscovite VIII Force War at all
Hazards, and the Afghans Will Make
Bloody Resistance.

LONDON, July 15.-The Times has re-
ceived special dispatch from Jagdoraba-
ten, via Meshed, July II, which says it is
rumored that the Russians have advanced
in force to Zulfkar Pass, and that they are
treating Persian territory as though it was
Russian. The dispatch also says that the
British Frontier Commission is moving
nearer to Herat. Reinforcements are ar
irving at Askabad. The advance of the
Russians has made the Afghans anxious,
but they are determined to resolutely resist
any attempt to seize their territory. They
are puzzled at these warlike preparations
OF the Russians under cover Of pacific as
surances. It is believed that General
Alikanoff, the commander of the Russian
advance, is determined to force war, and
that he is deceiving the Gear in regard to
his real intentions.
