This may be bad poetry, but depend up
on it, it is excellent sense. 1t is an old say

rage to buy on credit, is a serious evil 10
this country. Many valuable man is ru-

There was Titus Thornbury, who was
an industrious man. He had as good
farm as lay in the north parish of Apple

the prevailing fashion of getting in debt,
and sad life he led Of it. Al 80. he ow-
ed 2OOl. His farm yielded about that sum.
He would not live without purchasing some
things, and as all the money he ecald raise
went to pay principal and interest o. his
debt, he had every thing to buy on credit.
So at the years end, with Interest and cost.
and loss of time, and extra prices charged
for things. because he did not make ready
pay, he was just as deeply involved - the
year before. Thus hasaased, deemed end

There was an extensive FIRE in this viI-
lage last night. The large Touring mill on
the east bank Of the Gennesee, owned bs
Harvey Ely, and occupied by Messrs. Ford
and Bissel, was consumed. There was in
the mill from twelve to fifteen thousand
bushels ofwheat, upon which there was an
insurance of 10000 dollars. There was
also an insurance upon the building ofS0OO.
This calamity, at this time, is peculiarly
oppressive, as the enterprsing occupants
were in daily expectation Of transmitting tn
the great emporium their stock Of Aour,
for the purpose Of being remnnerated for
their labors during the winter. There
was no other building Destroyed. The
mill stones,a portion Of the machinery, and
the walls Of the building are saved. The
mill will be rebuilt immediately."

We were about republishing the editorial remarks
from the New York American, with tho quotation
from the Richmond Enquirer, of March 1890,
when we saw the denial ofthe Enquirer, that it ever
said any such thing.
We are inclined to believe, that tho American
mas been led into an error, this subject. We
have looked through the file of the Enquirer for
March $780, and can find nothing like the quota
'ion' and further, we have the impression very
strong that the late cabinet with the exception of
MIR. Van Buren, never in very good odour
with the Enquirer, though with its usual discretion
1t could not be prevailed upon to say so.
