An alai-m va sounded at ten o'clock last night and the firemen, promptly re-sbondlng to the call, ran to South Wilkes-Barre, where flames were seen issuing ftonil the large double- house of' 'Jeorge Paul on South Main street The interior 'was pretty well burned out; and some of the furniture destroyed. The explosion of a coal o'l lamp caused the fire.

Mrs. Paul was overcome by fright and excitement and was carried from the building in a swoon. The firemen did their best, but the flames had gained great headway before the men traversed the long distance from the engine houses. The shell of the building only remains standing this morning. Admitted to Bail.

This morning J. J. Gallagher, charged with the larceny of United States bonds, at Archbald, was taken before Judge Stanton on a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. John Lenahan appeared for the prisoner and District Attorney Rice for the Commonwealth.

The Judge admitted Gallagher to baiHn the sum of $1,000, whichjwas promptly furnished, and the released man departed for home. Gallagher, it will be remembered, attempted suicide shortly after he was taken to prison. Patrick Boran, charged with the murder of his brother Michael on the 4th of July, nearJermyn, was to have had a hearing, but the District Attorney was not prepared to take up the case, and Horan was remanded to jail until Monday next. 13V THE POPULAR CLOTHIER, John Beisel, merchant- Sutler.

Oil made from peanuts closely resembles olive oil. Wedding presents have come down from the feudal system. Old English women, who wore high-heeled boots to make the men think they were taller, were punished. If it cost anything to go to church, people who never go now would run around like wild men for free passes. On his way to Creedmoor, a Yonkers man fell down and cut bis nose.

Having scored a scenter, he returned home at once, fearing that he couldn't keep up the average. A seaside belle left her bathing shoes hanging out of the hotel window to dry, and the next day the local paper announced "that such a hotel had put up new awnings, of an unique design." A wag who thought to have a joke at the expense of an Irish provision dealer, said, "can you supply me with a yard of pork "Pat," said the dealer to his assistant, "give this gentleman three pig's ITo. loe SOUTH THE MERCHANT TAILOR.

H. C. the dam of which was equal to the emergency and did not give way. Just below the dam it carried away two wagon bridges and washed the road out for quite a distance above No. 4 breaker.

It washed the abutments from under the railroad bridge, and undermined the track and threw the cars over into the stream, but they were not carried away. At the old store-house in Poke Hollow it destroyed another rMlroad bridge, washed part of the foundation from under the store-building and carried off John Ryan's ihautv, containing! stove, flour, meal, the family escaped, as they were in the; main portion ot the house. At No. 5 it Carried off the railroad bridge and wagon bridge and washed down a great many ties and heavy timliers. Below No.

5 it washed! out two more railroad bridges and rusiied down through the back part Plymouth, carrying awav foot-bridges, washing down banks and tilling cellars. A portion of the torrent came rolling down Bull Run railroad to Main street ht the comer of (-'berry, where it turned nd swept down Main street to the creek, where the waters united and swept on to thtf river, a roily, raging torrent. 4 It was reported jthat a boy had been drowned, also sonie cows and hogs, but upon inquiry the report was found to be untrue. i The water came itushtng into No. 4 shaft and the men came ut as rapidly as possible not knowing what had happened.

This Bull Run railroad belongs to the 1. i H. C. Company and for a distance of a mile or two is unfit for work, and their No. 4 and No.

5 breakers will be kept idle until the road and bridges are rebuilt. Jacob Butman, engineer, was taught with engine No. 15, near No. 4, when the flood came, demolishing the bridges above and below l.im. The damage will be probably but a few thousand dollars.

On Main street and other parts of Plymouth the chief damage is in filling tlx cellars with water. This is the third time since the Spring of 1850 that this coal railroad has leen more or less destroyed water. Ordinarily this stream is not much more than an outlet for mine water, garbage, The Wadhavns crjeek was -also very high and did some damage in the neighborhood of F. E. Tiffany's by carrying away fences and bridges.

Owing to the frequent and unexpected showers which fall of late it is hardly safe to venture far from shelter without an urn brella. As a consequence umbrellas are vanishing from the eyes of their owners in wondrous fashion, and even the want of value of some does not prevent their being cagen. tsy tne way is stealing an timorei- la petty larceny, or is it only fun The wandering band of musicians now in the city furnish music of a peculiar but not unpleasing kind, and attract large crowos. une 01 ineir concerts tins morn ingputa stop to business as effectually tot tne nme as a nrst class ngnt or a tire. This certainly ought to be considered 'a proof of merit.

A vocalist accompanies the instrumentalists, but her warblings are not very remarkable for either time or tune. A select number of friends were enter tained by George H.

Reie's Band go to Pittston this evening at o'clock, via the L. V. R. where they will give an open air concert in West Pittston, on the river bank, between the two bridges. The Thistle Band will meet them at the depot and escort them over the river.

We feel assured that it will be a pleasant evening for the people of Pittston and for the band. Of course, if it rains, the trip will be postponed to another evening, of which due notice will be given.

Wedded. Jas. II. Trimmer, telegraphic despatcher of the Wyoming Division of the Lehigh Valley railroad, located at Sugar Notch, was married at White Haven, yesterday, to Miss Laura Breisch. The occasion was one of much enjoyment to those present.

A large number of the lehigh Valley officials including Superintendent Mitchell, Frederick Eldridge, David Stetler, and many others were present. The ceremony was performed bv the Rev. J. W. Wilson of the Methodist Episcopal church, of Wliite Haven, and was very impressive.

The presents were both numerous and elegant. Mr. and Mrs. Trimmer left on the Buffalo express for a month's trip to Niagara Falls, Watkins Glen, New ork city, and among the friends of the groom in New Jersey. They bear with them the kindest wishes of a wide circle of friends nnd acquaintances.

Helping- tne Sontli. Another meeting of citizens was held last evening at the Y. M. C. A.

rooms, and energetic measures begun for the raising of funds for the stricken south. On motion of Marx Lone, A. T. MeClin-tock, was called to the chair, and a secretary appointed. After discussing the various plans proposed it was determined to appoint a committee of ten for a thorough canvass of the city.

The following gentlemen were appointed: Douglass Smith, Chairman; R. J. Flick, Treasurer; G. Murray Reynolds, Geo. C.

Lewis, Marx Long, Rev. F. F. Buer-meyer, D. C.

Jeremy, Chas. M. Conyng-ham, Stanley Woodward, F. C. Johnson.

The Chairman, Treasurer and Mr. Reynolds were appointed a sub-committee to forward the money in sums of $100 as rapidly as raised. On motion the meeting adjourned to meet at the same place on Saturday evening next. "Yankee JIa4rutre. As we have had a surfeit of local reports of threats and crimes committed by foreign born residents of this county, it now becomes our duty to publish the following card which was left at the house of Mr.

Calvin Parsons, in Parsons, last evening, evidently by one who, at least, is not an Irishman Sik: When you have assisted at ruining all who bought lots of you, and helped Irishmen to drive out the Americans, then you may expect the treatment Mr. Besser got from your Irish allies; then you may stay inside your house from dark till morning light then you may awake in dead of nieht to fight your friends with anything that may be at hand, or suDmit 10 tneir tender mercies, sucn as iney showed to'CoL O'Brien InOiew York: such as they show to anyone tney get in their power: what that is, look at the Mollies, look at Irish Catholics everywhere, look at the inquisition which they are striving to endow with new life and horrors, look at the effort everywhere to make Catholic rule. Judge, take "Warning." it is proper to explain that these threats grov out of financial embarrassment produced by the building associations, for which no single individual ought be held responsible. Those who know Mr. Parsons will be the last to believe that he would distress any man in these tim es.

It is not likely that men who make audi threats have courage enough to put them into execution, but, if they should make the attempt, we would advise a little previous practice upon some object less prepared and determined than Mr. Parsons is to make the villain suffer. School Board Meeting. A meeting of the First District School Board was held last evening to appoint teachers, janitors, and to transact other business. Present D.
