About four o'clock Wednesday after
noon smoke was discovered issuing from
the wood and coal house ON the premises
OF Ewalt Richman, on the corner of Main
street and East avenue. a small weather.
boarded binding about 10x1S feet in size,
standing in closc proximity tohis barn, the
dwelling of Joseph X. Riley and The barber
shop Of W. s.. Gofortii. An alarm was
given and a crowd quickly congregated and
none too soon. for the flames @ burst
from all parts of the building and, but for
the activity of those ON the spot who car
ried water and extinguishcd the flames, ii
would nave been consumed. As it was ii
was completely Quilted and rendered nearly
worthless. At the back of the binding
druggist Harris had a lot OF empty boxes
piled, in one of which, all .unheknownst' 10
anybody. a swarm of ~able-bodied humble
beeSllad built a J nest. TheboXes were thrown
10 one side. and the bees being thus rudely
disturbed began to make trouble in the
camp meeting, and between pumping and
carrying water and fighting the bees the men
had all the business for the time being they
could comfortably attend Ia. More than
one of the crowd received an old fashioned
sting, and some get two or three. The
origin of the fire is a mystery, As no ashes
were stored in The binding, and it is moi
known that any one was inside with fire
at anV time.

Fem Work in Salem.

For a long time some of the members of
the w. G. L. [. have been trying to get
together a certain class of men and boys
and even women and girls, to attend the
gospel meetings held in the Reform Asso-
citation rooms, Sunday afternoons at $40
o'clock. They have always made excuses
of one kind and another, such as not hay
ing the proper clothing, shoes, hats, etc.
to wear, and this is very true, as they are
all, more or less, too poor to buy the proper
things necessary, and all You good people
know why. Sc these good ladies conciud-
ed not to give up the good work but to 20
right among hem and hold meetings for
their especial benefit. therefore Sunday
afternoon last they held a meeting under
the shed at the steamboat landing. and
wonld you believe it2 They had an audi-
ence of from three to five hundred people.
Just the class of people they wanted, and
a more orderly meeting was never held.
The meeting was led and opened by Miss
Sarah Walker. She first read a portion of
the fifth chapter of Matthew, and after
wards made n short address. Col. Hyatt,
of Chester, Pa, offered a prayer and made
sneh an address as to captivate every n 5
attention. Appropriate hymns were sung
by the association in which 4 great many
Of the ''Sinners" Joined. Mrs. Josiah Nor
ris also made a few very good remarks.
The meeting closed with the 'Dox. Z
Everyone seemed TO join in it and the
music, from so many threats, made the old
s%torehouse and shed fairly ring. All were
well pleased with the meeting and the
ladies of the w. c. 7. u, meeting with 50
much encouragement, have concluded to
hold a meeting in the same place every
Sunday evening during the summer months
at 6 o'eloek.-Sdlen correspondent IL

The Dog DAYS.

The period Of year which is called the
dog days opened ON Wednesday Of last
week and will end on the 21st Of September.
The characteristic OF the dog day season is
that it is generally the hottest time of the
summer, and sickness is more prevalent.
The name is derived from tile fact that
Sirius, the dog star, rises with the sun during
this period, and it was Thought by the an
Gent astronomers that this star, uniting its
influence with that of the sun, caused the
extra heat and sickness.
