DISASTROUS FIRES.

Intelligence has just been received of the total
destruction by fire of the cityof Kupischock, inßussian
Poland, which is inhabited entirely by Jews. Font
hundred dwellings and shoje, occupying a circuit of
about six miles (Russian), including the Great Syna-
gogue and several schools, are in ruins. Nothingwa
saved and nothing insured ; even the men of wealth
are reduced to absolute poverty. Kupischock Wa., a
thriving city, awl the principal mart for hemp traffic
in Letthauen. The loss is estimated at one million
mbles.

THE GREAT FORTHCOMING DAIRY SHOW
IN LONDON.

dairy show on a large scale will be hell at the
cultural-ball shortly. Prizes to the extrnt ..f
thousand pounds will be given. The cow with
Iron tail will, it is thought, carry all before iL
must, however, contradict a report that ',sail
ilk is likely to take L'eass prizes. This cannot he,
seeing that it beats counts.), milk by chalks. Great
care must be taken by exhibitors in sending animate
t, the hall. A cow known to "chew the end of
sweet and bitter fancies" will not be trusted with a
pen. It is doubtful whether the new process of
" curdling" be exhibited, as it its feared Mr. Ilaring's
report on Bulgarian atrocities, coupled with the c.d.
mum of the Premier will have anticipated any
"curdling' effects which might be attempted. In
skinuning over the various items in the milk depart-
ment we observe that "milk of roses " and "cream of
lilies," delightful as ladies may find them for the
toilet are not included. "Cream of tartar " will also
be rigidly exhibited. Should the weather continue
warm a little perfume may be desirable.
Himmel's "Essence of Cowslips" will he an
appropriate scent. Our lively contemporary, Tax
Former' suggests! that there should be an "exhibition
of false butter ; but where would be the novelty in
that -to the butter-purchasers of the metropolis? As
there will be a goat show in addition, may we ventare
to hint that there we shall have a far more interesting
display -that of the real hott-er? In the department
of implements end inventions a new lactotnetcr to
weigh milk will he exhibited. Any one observim. that
milk might surely be left to its natural tendency to
trlicy itself will be visite,' with the severest penalty ,4
the law. We have not the names of the judges ; but
Mr. James, ~f the Vaudeville, will of couree
