DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The dwelling house of Samuel Pugh
in what is called Port Noble, was to-
tally destroyed by fire Thursday morn
ing about two o'clock The origin Of
the fire is mystery. It was first dis
covered by Mr.. and Mrs. Pugh who
heard the noise and saw the flames
bursting into their room between the
plaster and siding They gave the
alarm to their two children aged about
10 and IS, and all had just time
enough to dress to escape. The alarm
was sounded and neighbors hurried to
their assistance, but the building being
flame the fire made rapid progress and
but few articles were saved. The fire
bell called out the fire Companies and
citizens; the Frindship was the first
upon the ground, but there being no
fire plug in that vicinity they hastily
hurried to the plug at the Desk Works
and after Coupling found the hose
would not reach more than half the
distance to the fire; the Winona was
the next, and not understanding the
call of the Friendship to jointhem, they
went to Market Street but did not find
any plug there; in the meantime the
Rescue Company arrived, and coup
ling with the Frindship stream of
water was turned on, after the house
was almost completely destroyed and
only a few tlmbers burning.
The loss to Mr.. Pugh is heavy one.
He came to Bloomsburg from Belle
fonte about seven years ago and by
industry and economy had built new
home; he was constantly making i'm
provements and had everything in good
order about him He carried but little
insurance. and swill hardly realize
enough to replace his furniture, leav-
ing the house total loss.

Subsequently company was organ
zed, and business was continued by

been dull, and the inducements offer

GUARDING AGAINST DISEASE.

1t will be seen by the minutes of
the last Town Council meeting, that
steps have been taken by the author
tiles to prevent the introduction or
spread of any contagious disease in
the town. There are no cases of any
malignant epidemic at present, but
smallpox is prevalent at Danville, and
1t is near enough to make it nee
essary to use prompt and effective
measures to prevent Its coming here.
On Tuesday Chairman Housel of the
Board of Health, published the 70 low
ing:
"All persons wanting lime for use in
whitewashing and other disinfectant
purposes may procure the same from
the wagon as it passes through the
different streets day, under charge
of Town authorities. All are request
ed to clean up their premises.
President Drinker issued the follow
ing notice on Monday:
at is reported that virulent small
box is raging within ten miles of us;
let us do what we can to keep our town
free from it. 1t is the duty of all citizens
to see that houses, cellars, out-houses,
barns, alleys, streets, etc, be put in
sanitary condition at once-small-pox
seeks filthy places. Let disinfectants
be freely used, and let children and all
who have not been vaccinated be vacci-
mated without delay. The overseers of
the poor should empower physicians
to vaccinate those who have not the
means to pay
If these suggestions are obshrved,
it will be impossible for any conta-
gious disease to gain a foothold here.

"sHAD FISHING AT BLOOMsBURG." :"

read with much interest the ac-
count Of "shad fishing" as related by
Casper Kressler, of Bloomsbury, in
the last issue of the COLUMBIAN.
"reminiscences of the past flashed into
my mind, and brought to view family
more closely associated with my child
hood and youth than any other, ex-
cept perhaps, my fathers family.
When in my fourth year, Peter Eve
land purchased and moved on tract
of land adjoining my fathers, and
therefore was our nearest neighbor.
The Peter Eveland family was a large
family, and it does occur to me that
there were in all sixteen children.
But the whole family, parents and
children are all dead Abraham, the
last one, died about a month ago.
In my boyhood, old mother Eveland,
whose maiden name was Hendershott,
used to relate to me the wonders Of
"shad fishing" when she was a girl.
Her father had shad fishery, and no
doubt this is the one referred to by
Mr.. Kressler. She used to say when
shad came up the river they came in
such numbers that you could see the
water wave as they passed up the
stream. Her father caught wagon
loads OF them almost every spring, she
would say. always listened with in
tense interest when this old lady would
tell of thrilling incidents that occurred
in her girlhood days. Old mother
Eveland met with an accident that
made her cripple and an Invalid
during the remainder of her life. She
was great sufferer during all these
years. On election day when James
Buchanan was elected President of
the U. S, Peter Eveland went and
voted for Buchanan, and the next
day he dropped dead on the wood
pile. The shock to the neighborhood
may well be imagined when this sud
den death occurred, with this helpless
invalid woman left alone in the world.
Thus it may be seen that Casper
Kressler touched some pathetic chords
that aroused response by his "shad
fishing" story.
