ing Of fire bells startled our people from
their sleep about o'clock of last Thurs
day night, and those living in the northern
part Of the town saw the whole southeast
ern sky lit up. The blaze was caused by
the burning Of the boiler house and black
smith shop Of the Ball Engine Works, near
the West Penn depot, and on account of
the distance from water plug the fire
men had hard work keeping the flames
from spreading to the machine shop. The
fire started in corner Of the shop. where
there was nothing to cause it, and incen-

Here" said a dear friend the other
day, "arc some resolutions Of respect
which | would like you to publish. OF
course they are of no interest TO the gen
eral public, but the parties who wrote
them will be glad to see them in print, and
they will help to fill up your paper That
was certainly very kind and thoughtful in
our friend, but we said "Neighbor, did it
never dawn upon thee that when a news
paper fell into the habit of publishing stuff
of no public interest people soon ceased to
read il with avidty, and did not fall over
each other m their mad haste TO get TO the
Office to subscribed And further, oh
beneficent man, has il not occurred unto
thee that a newspaper is not wholly phi
lanthropic in its aims, Knowcst thou not
that il must have the wherewithal to live up
on, and that, like most other enterprises,
its designs are somewhat mercenaryf The
space in a newspaper is for sale, even as
town lots are for sale, the prices varying
according to location" And he marvelcd
much. .-PunX'y Spirit
