A calamltloiis flro broke out about noon on
Tuesday hist In the boiler room of Btiikktkii,
GiudlnusA Co's. Bash, Ullntl & Door laclory,
which was In full blast, and filled In every part
with machinery, material, and work In process
of ex-cullon. The building was of Wood ex
cept tlio boiler and rnglne room, but that was
open by door to a shingle room In the rear
which h tppened at the limu to bo full of shav
ings and also to the planing room. The
shnvlnga In the shingle room hud caught when
the discovery was made by Mr. Giddings, who
remained nearly alone, on the premises, during
the dinner Interval. Though It had but Just
stalled, such was the almost Inflaniable char
acter of the shavings nnd shaving dust about
the building that the fire spread Instantaneous
ly, and to slay or quench the flames was seen
at once to be beyond human power. The
alarm was given, and every body about tho
village was soon upon the spot. The dense,
black smoke Irom the burning pine, soon
showed itself, nnd the location was fixed with
out a doubt, or second Hiought. - Bonn the
flame shot up through the smoke and surged
and crackled through tho entire building. The
Consumption of course Was rapid, and the
heat Intense. It wasexcewlinly uncomfortable
!n front, upon any portion of the street.
Scarcely anything was saved from the- shop
except the tool chest of r ne of the hands.
Even a lol of shingles piled umiinst Hie from
of the building was but partially removed, so
speedily did ihe flames nnd heal command the
situation. The wind was blowing freshly from
the norlh-enst, nnd to this fuel is due the sav
ing of much of (he lumber piled in the rear of
the factory. The firemen, In full strength, were
soon upou the ground, but nothing could bo
done in slaying the flames. The flic soon com
municated with the large, brick building
known as Phoenix Foundry, standing south
erly but a few feet from the burning one. This
building was occupied by W. A. Ellis, as a
handle laclory, who owned the hall ho occu
pied. The upper (lories of this purl ion wu"
filled with finished work, or that in process.
Tlii-t being piled rather clos-; and solid, it took
some time to get fully under way. The pro
gress of the flames through the windows In ig
niting this mass of small, bard wood material,
though gradual, was steady and sure, in the
execution of their work the demolition of
everything within its luclosure. This, how
ever, proved a sale and comfortable barrier be
tween the flames and those who embraced Ihe
opportunity to save the machiuerey of Messrs.
Frink & WlliE, machinists, in Hit' south end
of the buililing leaving their loss but noiui
uut. The building was also occupied by
Messrs. Tinkkii & Sl'icuuv, as an otlico and
for the depository of finished and unfinished
work. The destruction ol these two buildings
was the extent of the fire, thongn it required
some effort to save Tinker & Sperry's mould
iug shop, south of, and nearly adjoining.

Indkpenuekce Day is expected to arrive
with ruiber more than usual promptness and
glory this year, on account of the preparations
Hint have been made to welcome and celebrate
iliu Ibis place. Should tho weather bo lavor
able, Ashtabula will witness such an observ
ance of the day as has nercr before been ap
proached. The scale of arrangements is some
what maguiticent, and is naturally attracting
attention throughout the county. The note
comes up from most of the towns, thut their
citizens to a greater or less extent, exp-ct lo
be with us. That the gathering will oj large
may bo inferred from the fact that not only
will the occusion bo one worthy of participa
tion, but from the fact that we are uboul thu
only people in ihe county aud vicinity that
are to observe the day. This, of course, will
turn general atleution to this point. Then
there la another fact that warrants the idea
thai our numbers will be unusually large,
and that Is, the easy facilities for gel-
ting lo AshtubuU that are, now enjoyed.
From every portion of the county, thereiore,
Ihere will undoubtedly be swarms that will
make us a visit for the sake of a trip on our
new railroads, if there were no oilier induce
ment. Let tho crowd come. We will show
them something worthy their attention. One
of the points of special interest lo b visited,
will, uo doubt, be Ihe harbor, and Supt. Mc
Coy has determined to run trains from the
Center street station every hour, beginning
with 1 p. M-, and returning every alternate
half hour. Tho amount of expenditure
that point, and Ihe changes that have taken
place, will astonish all who have hud any
knowledge of tho locality. But we cannot
given list of the attractions to be met with
ou that day. Suffice it to say that enough will
be afforded for crowding into one day.

and
Editor T'legntjih A lew days ago, you ex
pressed to me your dilrn to have some one In
our village act as an oicshIoiisI and special
correspondent to your iwr 1 thought I
would like lo try ll myself. With my ofli r lo
do so you seemed well pleased.
I do no) expect lo be able to write much,
and probably what I do write will nol be very
Interesting. No doubt my pen will at times
seem dull, but I hope to b able to apologize
for it at the knight did for bis slow pacing
bontc "It is a right good creature, and travels
over the ground most failhfnlly." In what I
may offer Irom lime lo lime, I will nothing ex
tenuate, nor aught set down In tnailice,
In entering upon title work I am actuated,
first, by the inlerest I feel In your paper. Bic
ond, by a d sire lo do lomeildng for tho bene
fit of our towu nnd lis surroundings. Ills
only since the opening of our railroad that I
have paid any attention lo your paper. On
making Its acquaintance I am much pleased
with it I like Its tone and the manner in
w blch it It conducted, and I think it w ill not
lull lo do pood wherevir ll Is rend. Ii stands
sicond to no other Jonrnal In Ihe county. I
am glad lhat your subscription list Is rapidly
enlarging.
I think Hint village snd towns, like Individ
uals, somelimps nned looking lo. A few oc.
caslnnnl Idnls snd suggestion. If made In a
proper spirit, msy be productive of good.
There are various elements In ev-ry neighbor
hood which srp alwsv at work for good or for
evil. Now, h strike me, a local correspond
ent should have an eye to these; he should
watch their wnrklnp, as mnlf'-tnd In their
fruits around him. In clvlne Items of news.
he should have an eye lo tlielr significance.
Facts are vslnsWe only a they stimulate
Ihnnebt. nnd a they are made useful In the
vigorous exerelse or the mind In swking out
their cause, trncln? their step of progress snd
in looking lorwnrd with a prophetic eye to Ihe
results.
Mv first Item of news l. tb-t some evil dis
posed person put an end lo Mr. Wilcox' dop,
bv nninonine. "Bnrnev." for such I think was
ihe rW's nam", wus a very Innr" fellow, een
erallv. I believe, quite peseeable and wn a
crrent favorite with the f.milv. Mr. Wilcox
has owned lilm about nine year ; he was er
customed to go his daily rounds In the vil
Inprnnrtlrnlnrlvn the vicinity of Hie mea'-
mirket, nnd always moved with a very rt'-li't-
erste and Independent becrinsr. Well, there
are those who dKlike to s-e even a pcnceful
nnd enod na'ured do? enjoy himself.
During the Inst we-V. a Mllinrd-room has
been pored in nor villa e I think it Is Ihe
firt one we hnve ever bad. V is very doiii)'
fill In mv mind ns lo Ps ever helntr any benefit
to the place T never could nny special
trnod connected wllh P.; I think it eneournees
Idleness nnd loaferism. If it does, I nni sure
we Imv" no need of It here out village Is
nlentifullv supplied with loafers. Perhaps
tliny ere not so numerous as iny ni-p in fiw
places, but Ihey are verv eminent! However,
lime, the erral arbiter of all thine, will tell ss
to the practical effects or this to us, new insti
tution. At the Concregnlionnr meeling linnse, last
Sunday forenoon, Mr. Chnffer preached me of
the lest of sermons His text wns "God is a
Spirit, and they that worship him miKt worship
him in spirit and tn truth." He handled
tho subject In a innsfrly mnnner ; his nnnnl
ysis of the nature of man, and his clnssification
of his distinctive powers, wns philosophical
nnd ernnd. He showed that the exercise nnd
grnlifleatlon of the animal powers, the culti
vation of the intellect, nnd e ven the improve
ment of our moral faculties, if divorced from
the proper exercise of out spiritual nature,
lelt us vry imperfect beinirs. and without the
1rue nnd proper element of religion. I hope
the people will sustain him, that bis health
will Improve and make Ins uratn vigorous,
d that this community will long he blessed
with his labors
Mr. H. U Latimer's store, now in process
reclion. is protrressinir slowly but surely,
TI.a minimis are now lavlne tin Ibe outside
brick. The town is indented some to flir. i.nt
mer for his bold enterprise, iu crectin? new

One of my nolirhbors has been experiment-
ne with the Colorado potato bug. He mixed
some Paris Green with water, in the proposi
tions recommended by scientific men. Not
bcinir quite salisfied'with the results in apply
ing it to the vines, he caught some ol tne ones
and put Ihem Into Ihe solution.'Afler keeping
Ihem there six or eight hours long enough,
certainly, to test their powers of endurance
he found them unhurt and apparently very
happy. The theory is that Paris Green will
kill these pests. Here is a fact which contradicts
the theory. It may be that some of
modern sclenlist will Imltato one of tUelr
lustrious predecessors, who, wnen u -nns""served
lo him that facts were at vurbince

The Karen knowh a nne of s trllie In many
expects peculiarly sepraled from others In
lie Empire of Burmah, and who bear the
name of Than br sh, gave a lecture at the
Baptist church si 4 P. M. yesterday. He Is
pursuing studies at Ihe University in Roches-
er, H. Y., having spent several years there.
He Isjust In the prime of life, a mulatto in
complexion, and short In stature, having very
much of Ihe vim, however, to necesary lo make
him an effective laborer In the mission field in
his native country, where he propose to go
sooner or later. His history of the Iradiilous,
castes, customs, religions, &c, were Very Inler-
eating, exhibiting idols, clothing, dec, Ac, all
in all proving very conclusively Ihe truth ol
ihe saying that one halt of tho world knows
not what ihe other half does.
The annual meeting of the Bible Society
met In the evening at the Baptist church also.
The M. E. ch-irch building is n w occupy
ing Ihe centre of the lot and when everything
is lully arranged the Improvement made will
doubtless be very great. Services were not
held in the church yesterday, snd thus the at
tendance of the oilier churches was very much
increased. Mr. Staples occupying the desk with
Mr. Hickok of the Presbyterian church.
The dry weather met with opposition some
what this evening from a nice shower, pre
ceded by fearful Indications of a tornado. No
damage done, but much good.
The potato bugs are being thus fur routed
very successfully ; and the solulioo of pnris
green sprinkled over Hie vines, is said by those
trying ll, to be very effective. The tariff rates
for gathering bugs is said to be2 cents a quart,
with an upward tendency. They say one Is
admirably fitted for possum hunting in com
ing much in contact with these snimuls, from
the like characteristics.
Tbe Choral Union Is now holding its regu
lar sessions, except when circumstance pre
vent, with A. B. Luce conductor, and 'heir old
accustomed tuprit de evrpt is made manifest.

The steadiness of Ihe movement up the Mis
sissippi Valley Irom New Orleans of adistcm
per, which, whether it be really Ihe Asiatic
cholera or not, has counted its scores of vic
tims In a day, and the possibility that it will
become more or less general throughout the
north, seems to counsel cleanliness upon all
cities, with their localities of reeking tilth, and
Ihe linger towns, like our own. Our B ard of
Health might do a good service to the commu
nity by authorizing iheir health officer lo
make a round of Ibe village nnd then report
t ) them the results of his observations. A
complaint lias been made to some of the mem
bers of the Boar, by those having workshops
opposite, that there is a stench coming from a
crabage-heap in the rear of tho Ashtabula
House, that ,1s difficult to breathe with com
posure and an orderly stomncb. The Health
officer has been instructed to look into the
matter, and due return make.
