The brilliant light in the north-western sky gave confirmation to the report. A dispateh furnishes the following particulars: “Goshen has met with,another disastrous conflagration. lla»rdly‘ 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 fate, but fortunately the fire was checked. The Globe works were owned by J. L. Kerstetter, Oscar Dewey, and John D. Herbert. They were extensive dealers in lumber and wagon stuffs, and had 100,000 feet of lumber near the building. By the 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. o Eh

The building, machinery, and lumber were valued at about $20,000; no insurance. The books and papers were saved. : A ¥

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 i’nsuran_ce, owing to the rates demanded. They. have struggled against adverse circumstances until they were in a fair way to success, when this last calamity robbed them of the fruits of their efforts. A generous public cannot afford to withhold its practical sympathy from the unfortunate firm.

RAILROAD NEWS.—Rumors are current that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which company refused to sign the Saratoga agreement, is about to “cut” in west-bound rates from New York. The report has already caused much concentration in New York, and war has been declared by the other trunk lines against the independent company. i

Lagrange County Teacher's Insti- : tnte.

LAGRANGE, IND., Oct. 24—One of t‘l‘lle most interesting institutes ever held in this county closed last night. Over 130 members were in attendance, and great interest was manifested in all the exercises. | Amongthe instructors were Prof. H. A, Ford and wife, of South Bénd, and Profs. W. A. Bell and J. M. Alcott, of Indianapolis. The following arethe most important resolutions adopted: ’

Whereas, Efforts are being made to destroy the offlce of County Superintendent in this State; and, : Whereas, 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 principle that all extengive enterprises” should be subjected to a complete and thorough supervision; therefore, » Resolved, That we believe the elaims 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 we, as teachers; will use our utmost endeavors to sustain this, the most important office in connectiom with our common school system, : Resolved, That we join in the general expression of grief over the death of Hon. Milton B. Hopkins, late Superintendent of Public Instruction of Indiana, believing that in him the cauge of education has lost a devoted friend and wise counsellor., A Lectures were delivered each evening during the week by the instructors from abroad. . .

et i, s DEDICATION AT ELKHART.~From the Elkhart Review we learn that the new Lutheran church at that. place was dedicated last Sabbath. There was a large attendance and the usual services of the day were conducted, Rev. S. P. Snyder of Butler officiating, After the services an attempt wagd made to lift the debt of the church, and the sum of $902 was raised. The oceasion was a pleasant one, and the society are to be congratulated that, after many trials and troubles, they have succeeded in building for themselves a neat and tasty house of worship. They are now the possessors of a church as appropriate fnd" comfortable as any in Elkhart. |

i Columbia City Items. We have had some winter, sure. Our first snow fell last Friday evening. ‘We were favored with another theater last week—J. W. Carner’s New York Company. They played “Daniel Boone,” “Black Eyed, Susan” and “Solon Shingle,” and done well at it. Van Amburgh’s Show gave but one entertainment at this place—in the afternoon. They tore down their canvass at 615 o’clock, having barely taken in enough money with which to buy their “wittles.” - Quite a number of persons bought tickets for—next season, I suppose. It was rumored that the managers wanted to rent the Fair Grounds to winter in. They went from here to ¥t. Wayne, where they gave their last entertainment. : Two rows occurred in town last Saturday. Whisky bossed the job. Weapons: pistol and billiard cue. . Joe Egolf “took in” four deer neat Flat Rock, 0., a few days ago. Last week Sheriff Miller captured tﬂ;'\vo more.

It was fired upon by several parties, but none of them seemed to haveinjured it. Monday morning early, large parties of men, with dogs and guns, turned out to hunt the game.— The animal was followed to the swamps south. of Sedh}m where the dogs brought it to bay, and it was shot to death by Messrs. Charles Rempis, Ja‘?aes Booth, and others. 1t is generally conceded that the dogs belonging to David Goodwin and Wm. Kennedy were the most effective in running down the bear, and that, these two men, with A. Y. Rosenbury, were the principal ones in getting track of it, and making the chase on Monday. The hunters brought in the game in trivinph at about one o’clock in the afternoon. — Wuaterloo Press.

FIFTHIAND LAST GIFT CONCERT IN AID OF THE 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 certainly come off on the day appointed. * The special object of this card is to call a meeting of the ticket-holders at ‘Public 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 aectual necessity for the presence of ticket-holders, hs under our arrangements the interests of all are equally cared for, yet at the same time I would greéatly 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. ' - Everyjarrangement has been made for the drawing—Dbut little more than a month remains for the sale of the remainder of the tickets, and whatever is done must be done promptly. TroMAs E.
