Scheefer, of Kendallville, has recently called our attention to a new and novel arrangement for poultry shippers, in the shape of a patent folding coop crate, which strikes us as being not only an article of utility and convenience, but a very economical invention. The coop is light and substantially made, and so constructed as to admit of being folded into a very smsall space when emg&igd. and returned to the shipper at a much less expense than new coops can be procured. Mr. S. is a partner in the firm of Schefer & Van Arnum, at Kendallville, who are extensively engaged in the manufacture of these cobp crates and-all kinds of shipping and returning boxes.

Considerable excitement was created here last Thursday evening by the report that our neighboring town, Goshen, was the scene of a destructive conflagration. The brilliant light in the north-western' sky gave confirmation to the repoi;t. A dispatch fur-. nishes the following particulars: “Groshen-has met with another dis~astrous conflagration. -~ Hardly had the fire of the Goshen brewery died out when another, more terrible than the first, has laid low one of the handsomest and largest manufacturing establishment in this city. At 8 o’clock in the evening fire was discovered in the Globe works, The wind was blowing a perfect gale, and the air was filled with fire-brands which were carried half a mile from the burning building. Fears were entertained that.the Novelty works would meet the same fatg, but fortunately the fire was checked. The Globe works were owned by J. L. Kerstetter, Oscar Dewey, and John D. Her‘pert” They: were extensive deal-. ers in lumber and wagon stuffs, and had 100,000 feet of lumber near the building. By tlie efforts of the citizens 50,000 feet of lumber were saved, the remaining being burned. Several accidents occurred. Mr. J. C. Beck was knocked down and quite seriously injured. . _ Trains were delayed owing to the intense heat. : The building, machinery, and lumper were valued at about $20,000; no Insurance. The books and papers were saved. : : : The origin of the fire is not yet ‘known, but it is supposed to be the -work of an incendiary.” ) - The loss falls heavily upon the firm, who were unable to carry insurance, owing to the rates demanded. They have struggled against adverse circurfstances until they were in a fair way to succegs, when this last calamity i:obbed them of the fruits of their efforts. A generotis public cannot afford to withhold its practical sympathy from the unfortunate firm. A

Whereas, Efforts are beiiig made to destroy the office of County Superintendent in this State; and, Wlhereas, The advantages of this office to our schools during the past year have far exceeded the cost of supporting the office; and, . Whereas, The objects of the Superintendency are. of such vital importance to our common schools, it being a well-recognized Pprinciple that all extensive enterprises should be subjected to a complete and thorough supervision; therefore, = Resolved, That we believe the claims of our common schools to a thorough and intelligent superintendence, sho’d be permanent to all other interests. Resolved, That it is the sense of the teachers of Lagrange county, assembled in this institute, that the office of County Superintendent of schools should be maintained; and that wé, as' teachers, wgnuse our utmost endeavors to sust®th this, the most important office in connection with our common school system. - Resolved, That we join in the general expression of grief over the death of Hon.

Monday morning early, large parties of menywith dogs and guns, turned out to hunt the game.— The animal 'was- followed to the swamps south of Sedan, where the dogs brought it to bay, and it was shot to death by Messrs. Charles Rempis, James Booth, and others. It is generally conceded that the dogs belonging to David Goodwin and Wm.

The hunters brought in the game in triumph at about one o’clock in the afternoon, — Waterioo Press.

FIFTHCAND LAST GIFT CONCERT, . ; . amADGYEE . PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY. A CARD TO THE PUBLIC. The management have determined to have the drawing of the Fifth and Last Gift Concert of the Public Library of Kentucky on the 30th day of November next. We believe now that all the tickets will be sold, and that the drawing will be a full one; but whether all are sold or not, the drawing will nevertheless ecertainly come off on the day appointed. The special objeet of this card is to call a meeting of the ticket-holders at Publie Library Hall, on the 20th of November, to make arrangements in connection with the commiteee appointed by the Trustees to superintend the counting of the tags representing the numbers of tickets sold. While there is no aetual necessity for the presence jof ticket-holders, as under our arrangements the interests of all are equally cared for, yet at the same time I would greatly prefer that as many of those interested as can would attend this meeting and see each for himself how perfectly fair and impartial the distribution must be. Every arrangement has been made for the:drawing—but little more than a month remains for the sale of the remainder of the tickets, and whatever is done must be done promptly. - .
