We jvgrct learn that t'u house of John Burns a very hard working man and citizen of Osborn county was entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday tho Mill. It is supposed that the fire originated in the roof, and broke out during the absenco of Mr. Burns who was engajej in hauling logs on tho south side of the north fork. Every thing he had was entirely destroyed, not being able to jwietrate the burning building. This is peculiarly hard on Burns at this limo of the year, left on the open prairie with no place to lay his bend.

It is hoped the good ritizens in his iiftncdiute neighborhood will fall in nnd nssist hi. 11 to rebuild forthwith. Us was one of the first settlers on the north foil: above twelve mi'o, nnd his wife, one of the most amiable of women, was (lie first fe uale that settled west of Cawker City.

party that arrived in tho trains from New York. Froiu tho Pittson Comet. Amonir the arrivals 011 tho 8:55 train from New York on the night of tho 19th wero four persons, evidently strangers in Pittson, who formed a party by themselves. One was a lady, the others gentlemen. After alighting from the coach they passed in the ladies waiting room in tho depot building, while two of tho gentlemen returned and made inquiries regarding tho procurement of a carriage to convey them to West Pittston.

In due timo a carriage arrived and tho quar-tetto entered it, and the driver, who had received his instructions where to go, proocceded in tho direction of the bridge, which ho crossed, and in a timo after pulled up at the house of a prominent resident The occupants of the carriage at once stepped out upon the walk, opened a little gate, and proceeded to the front door and pulled the bell. Tho summons was answered by a servant, to whom 'a card was given, after which the party was shown to the parlor and left there whilo tho servant went to announce their presence. The driver of the coach outside, after being relieved of his load, did not return to the east side, but drove off to a neighboring livery stable, and placed his aniimrfs under shelter there, but did not unharness them. After throwing robes over tho animals, he found a seat by ho side of a warm (ire in the office, and chatted with a couple of stable boys win. lodged therein.

In the mean time the minutes flew by, aiid when tho clock over tho door was ticking within half an hour of midnight a light step was heard outside, and there was a rap at the door. Tho driver responded with alacrity, and after a second's conversation proceeded to his team, drew tho robes from them mounted tho box and backed out of tho stable, turning about when outside and going in tho direction of tho river. Ho had driven a short distance, when ho caught sight of a littlo group gathered at tlio intersection. of Exeter and Wyoming streets. Hero the carriage stopped, and tho same quartetto that had disembarked from the 8:55 train at tho depot entered, and the horses were turned and started toward AVyoiuing.

In a vcrv short time, for the ani mals wero driven rapidly, that to quiet city of tho dead, Wyoming cemetery, with the white shafts and crosses and slabs, gleamed in view. As the main entrance was approached, tho driver turned and halted directly in front of it. Tho low fence which encloses tho sacred grounds was scarcely visible, but tho naked branches of the sentinel trees waved their ghostly arms, their frosty covering reflecting the starbcams and becoming sharply defined against the uarii outlines ot the mountains beyond. As soon is tho carriage stopped the four OCClinantS cot nut. and n.msnrl 1 slowly and solemnly to the gate, which 1 1 1 1 amnittcu tnem, ana preceded by two ecntlemcn.

the ladv hu a 1 of the othor, and in this way the singu lar quartette moved forward among the tomb-bordered naths to n. rlistnnt. wart. of; the cemetery. Hero they halted directly 111 front ot a grave, at the head of which stood a white marble cross.

Presently the lady and her companion separated, each takinor a position on opposite sides of tho grave, and near tno comer, iney men joined hands. At the samo time t.hn wo whn iww lofr took positions, ono at the head and the ouier nc 1110 loot 01 tno grave, each faeinsr tho other. At this moment thp bell of a distant church tower tolled out the soloinn hour of midnight, and almost before tho reverberations bnd died away among the distant hills in 01 Wyoming a marriage ceremony had commenced above tho quiet grave in ine ccnictry. Tlio service was snort one, and tho seeno most singular and impressive. A few momenta lator tho four returned to the carriage, and wero driven back to tho place from which they started.

Tho driver of the 1 1 1 veuacai, irom whom the facts are gleaned, could givo no further information other than that ono of tho gentlemen was undoubtedly a minister nf tb frit a. v. Del.

McOrath, C. AV. Farnsworth. Larue numbers of wild horsc3 abound on the' prairies between the Smoky Hill and Arkansas river. They are all sizes and colors, and tho wildest of wild animals.

They usually roam in bands of from six to twenty, and will run at sight of a man two miles away. A great many domestic horses, as well as mules, which have strayed away from their owners, have taken up with tho wild ones. Good advice to parents. If a child wants a light to go to sleep by, says an exchangegive it one. The sort of Spartan firmness which walks off and takes away tho candle, and shuts all the doors between the household cheer and warmpth and the pleasant stjr of evening mirth, and leaves a littlo son or daughter to hide its head under the bod clothes, and get to sleep as best it 'can, is not at all admirable, It is after the patern of giant despair, whose grim delight, confided to diffidence, his wife, over tho niiscrv of his wretched prisoners, alwavs seemed 1 most inimitable a perfect picture of the meanness of despotism.

Not that the dear mother means to be cruel.
