Veiurfol Fire In Pennsylvania In Which Three Persona Perished Pittsburg, Nov. 23.—About 4:80 In the morning an alarm of lire sounded at Sharpsburg, a town on the outskirts of this city, and the department was soon on its way to the fire, which was discov ered to be a house occupied by H. "W Dannehower and his family. The flames were beyond control when the firemen reached the scene, and the only thought was the safety of the _ in mates. A rush was made for the build ing, but the brave men were driven back by the flames. Three times were attempts made to rescue the family, but in vain, All this time no signs of life had come from the burning build ing, but the certainty that human lives were being lost caused the most heroic efforts to be made. At 6:30 the firemen succeeded in climbing over the burning timbers and reached what had been 'the sleeping room of a family. . The bed was entirely consumed, and lying on the floor were three objects, the charred and blackened rental us of Mr. Dannehower, his wife and their one-year-old babe. The location of the remains would indicate that the tunute persons had been suffocated in bed before the fire had reached tb The origin of the fire'if not known, Tree—to the Farmers of North East Georgia. , A copy of Peter HemlersanVFamous Manuals” will be presented to each of our farmers who will call at Office.

If Mrs. Lipscomb has the bay of New Zealand (Plenty) that I asked her t* ave, and all your guests a country ci Europe (Hungary), and you yourselve> •re a mount near Washington Cit; (Pleasant), you need have no cape ol North Carolina (Fear) but that youi dinner will b‘> a success. L'Le city of South America (Assump tion) Is that you will not meet with ai island in the Pacific ocean (Disappoint -ment), nor have I tbe slightest cape off California (Conception) bntthat all that you cape off Nova Zembla (Desire) wil come to pass. I could not a city of Florida (Tampa) with my temperance principles noi with yours by oflering you a provinct in France (Champagne), nor so mncL indeed as a river of Siuth America (Madeira), but I will give you what Pope said “makes the politician wiae,” one of tbe East India Islands (Java), and a bay of South America (Rio). During your course from Iceland, 1 t>eg you not to get a country of South America (Chili), and I charge yon tc throw capes about yon. I warn yen to he on tbe Mountain ol Tennessee ( Lookout) against a cape ol Washington (Flattery) lest yon shoulc be brought into the cape of Australia (Tribulation) and appear a swamp ol Virginia (Dismal) before the evening it over. Steer straight for the Pacific waters aud all will be well. Congratulating you upon the <nous tain of Alaska (Fair weather) and wish ing yon and yonr guests an Ocean ol good will, and a World of enjoyment, I must now say a cape of Oreenlano (Farewell) and beg yon to a town ol Maryland (Havre do Grace) to pardon this letter which many will call the isle South of England (Silly). Affeotionately, Miss Hilub. The answers to these different geo graphical questions we leave to the^n- genuity of our readers. There never was a more enjoyable en tertainment glvea in Athens.

The secretary of the navy has signed the order granting to Mr. j Per ry the three years’ leave of absence wh: :h i . as asked for him by the Phila- del - bla Academy of Natural Science. T ie secretary has hesitated to permit Sir. Peary’s release from duty for so lon.v'a time, as there has been in the navy great need-for civil engineers, so tha t when the subject of sparing Mr. Peary came before the department the oth^r day, there was an unwillingness to comply with the request.

We shall use our best endeavors to compel the performance of this contract. It is not a question of the ability of Oxford and Clarksville and Clarksville and North Carolina railroads to pay tbe interest and principal of their bonds, but whether the Richmond and Danville company is able to perform its contract. If the Richmond aud Danville com pany is solvent it can be forced to per r orm its contracts and pay its debts.

I have not seen Mr. Cleveland since the election, and not a word as to the question of patronage has passed between ns by letter, by wire or In any otheT way.

The president-elect’a appearance indi cated to some extent the fatigue conse quent upon his labors and confinement to which he has been subjected. In speaking of the absolute necessity of relief from anoyance and exactions which are his daily lot at home, he says: “I have been amazed and exceedingly gratified by the thousands of letters of congratulation which I have received since election from tlie American poo pie of every station in life, and from evary quarter of the land. It has been, however, utterly impossible for mo to read even the letters of that description which I have received, with the other interruptions which have thus fm seemed unavoidable. “I fully appreciate, however, the good will and friendliness which these let ters indicate, and shall not omit, as time allows, to read every cue of. them. “These good frieuds, of course, will not sxpect any reply to their communica tions, for that would lie utterly out ot the question, and the most that l can do is to say through the press that I <un noi unmindful of their kindness. “Many of the callers whom I have been obliged to receive would not, I think, have enchroached upon my time if they had given the matter moments of reflection. Those who have called upon me to talk about offices, it seems to me, have been a little inconsiderate and certainly unnecessary and prema tore. I desire to give as much publicity as possible to the statement that I do not propose to consider applications for office prior to my inauguration,*aud I shall avoid all interviews on that sub ject. “Those who, under any pretense, gain an opportunity to present their applica tions orally, and those who burden me at this time with written applications, cannot possibly do anything which would so interfere with their chances of success. Written applications will be so little regarded that I doubt if they ever see files in Washington, for there is no reason or decency in my being overwhelmed with such matters at this time.” Upon being/asked how long he ex pected to be away on his vacation, Mr. Cleveland replied: “As to that I am not certain. It would depend upon various conditions. I expect, however, to be absent about two weeks, and when I return, unless I am somewhat relieved from unnecessary demands upon my time to which I have been subjected here thus far, I shall shut up my house in the city and find some more quiet place to spend the winter. ‘•Certainly between now and the 4th of March I ought to have some time to devote to other matters thau receiving callers and considering subjects which should be postponed.” For over Fifty Tear*. 4as Winslow’s southing svsur Has Men lor children teething.

Neill Terms the Cotton Shortage. New Orleans, Nov. 23.—Henry M. Neill has just issued his circular on the condition of the cotton crop. He low ers his estimate to 6,500,000 bales, - and says: During the last two weeks we have received careful and complete reports from almost the entire cotton area, and the unanimous opinion is that the short age is so great as to amount to a real calamity. “These reports do not come from the planters onlv, but also from the people who are looking for cotton for the pur pose of buying it, and whose iutorest it is to exaggerate the prospect of the sup ply, aud uot to underestimate it. “IV« Have Now Reached a Period when the receipts are always found to be governed principally by the sice of the crop, as the time has passed when the lateness of maturity has any effect The weather generally has been favor able for transportation facilities, which are, of course, greater every year, and prices have advanced far beyond what the planters would have expected or been satisfied with had they had good crops. ‘There is, therefore, no possible expla nation of the light movement but the one that “The Crop Is Very Short. “Perhaps the planters are holding back somewhat. They must be doing do or the crop could not be even 6,500,- 000.
