On Thursday morning last the remains of fourteen horses lay in the wuihed stables of Sol. Bunnell, a noted horsemath of this city. The evening before a flash {of flame had ProkenN forth from the largo wooden build- ing, once used as a city market, then con- verted into stables, and that riish of firemnd smoke was followed by seemes| of an excit- ing and painful nature. While the firemen were leveling half a dozen stroams on tho burning building, the flames ffom the into: roof along which it was slowly curling, the spectators who crowded every available place, wero startled by tha} noise of the horses as, frantic with grief} they kicked againgt the sides of their stable in a vair effort to.escape the finmes ROLLING TOWARDS . The noise of their hoofs against the board walls was like the quics firing of field pieces-rapid, loud detonations of a sharp succession of sounds, distinct, clear, com- mingled with which were 'the agonized neighs of the poor doomed béasts. - For a quarter of an hour the effo of the im- prisoned animals to escape 'were plainly beard by the people outsidp. (Gradually they succumbed to the smoke and heat, until finally nothing was heard inside the building but the crackle of thé flames which had done their work all too well.. - A visit to the burned stables the next! morning dis- closed a distressing sight. Every one of . - THIRTEEN BOX STALLS contained the carcass of a lhottso. The fire had been s» chocked that the lower part of the stable was accessible, and it was casy enough to pass along from st did hundreds of people, amd destruction of horses. The b lay on their backs, with logs pointed rigidly up, whils the bodies were| Hoated and blackened. Ome of the dend| animals pre- sented a remarkable sight. It had partly risen on its feet, and its bead was turned back towards its right shoulder. while the eyes still retained a startléd look. The whole attitude and of the animal was as if an artist had moulded the figure out of marble Farther on were scon tho swollen remains of a pair of roan horees, while the next stall disdlosed a bay horse, still neatly hlanketeod, which had SUTCCUMBED TO THE SHORE just as it was in the act of arising in filing to its feet. Altogether it was a strango, weird spectacle, that of «o [many horses, layins in different sections of (theo stable, all sprawled out in every comedivable shape, their limbs twisted and dittorted, while their swollen bodies, roasted parts, made one torn away almost in borfor. The ma- jority of the horses were dqubtless suffo- cated to death ero the finmes reached them. An jntoresting incident of the fire was the otter known as Rosa B. was gotten outgide the door, when she fell dead, having inhaled the fames, Sho was valued at $1,500 and was owned by Mr. Bunaneli.

We refer to Boone tho tailor's formal opening of his store at 210 East Water streot, on Tuesday, May Ist. On which occasion Mr. Boone will give every man, youth, boy and child presenting himself wearing a suit of clothes purchased at his establishment since April ?th, 1883, a purse containing a gold coin. The purse is in itself a very useful article and wo all know the gold coin is essential aed valuable to every- one, but the most extidfordinary thing is at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, ho will throw from the balcony over his store fifty coats valued at $4 cach. These coats aro for any dhe fortunate enough to catch them. This at once shows Mr, Boone's liberal spirit, he does not ask you to purchase $25 worth of anything, the offer is an extracrdinary on» and will no doubt draw a big crowd. In the evenigg from 6 to 8 «clock there will bs an open air concert anl a reception for tha ladies, who will also bo presented with & valuable present, Mr. Boone invites overs - body to visaut Elinira on that day, and we bave no doubt his invitations will be largely acceptad. ° W 1L08T Hls WATCH AND CHAIN. ost A Horncilisvilloe Telegraph Operator in Hard Luck in Kimira.

I orly bought one box, keping some | plumber or gas man would come-alongqand buy it, and by gum, everybody that has been in the storefhas sampled a strawberry out of that box, shivered as though it was sour,and gone off without asking the price,\ and the grocery man looked mad, took a hatchet and knocked in the head of a barrel of apples, and said, \ There, help yourself to dried apples.\ . \O I don't want your strawberries, or dried apples,\ said the boy, as he lleanad against the show case and looked at a bar of red, transparent somp. \ZE was only trying to fool you. Say, that bar of soap is ® oLp ro vore. I remember seeing it in the show-case when I was about a year old, and pa came in here with me and held me up t the thow-case to look at that tin tobacco box and that round zinc looking:-glass, and the yellow weoden pocket comb, and the soap looks just the same, only a little faded. If you would wash yourself once in a while your soap wouldn't dry up on {your hands;\ and the boy sat down in the chair withour any back, feeling that he was even with the grocery man. ~ C * You never mind the soap.

It was a joke, One of thee Bohe- minn bands that goes about playing tunes, for pennies, was OVER ON THE NEXT STREET, and I told pa I guessed some of his friends had hired a band and was coming in a few} minutes to serenade him, and he better pre- pare to make a speech. Pa is proud of be- i ing a father at his age, and hf thought it was no more than right for the'neighbors to\ serenade him, and he went to loading him- self for a speech, in the library, and ms and my chum went out and told the leader that wanted to have some music, and they didn't care for expense, so they quit blow- ing where they was and came right along. - None of them could understand English ox- cept 'the leader, and he only understood enough to go and take a driuk when he is invited, My chum steered the band up to our house, and got them«to play ' Babies on our Block,' and ' Baby Mine,' and I stopped all the men who were going home, and told them to wait a minute ang they would see some fun, so when » THE BAND GOT THROUGH emptying the beer out of the horns, and pa stepped {out on the porch, there was mare por afidfl‘d people in front of the house.
