Operation of the Bankrupt Lac Religion TAeati-
" cals-Nesc Paper.


DEAR GoRDoN:--
The advantages presumed upon aud incident 10
the late enactment Of the General Bankrupt Laws
seems to be eagerly embraced by large class Of
cash-paying delinquents in our city; some of whom
drive their "pair," and live in stately columned
edifces, faring sumptuously every day. Now there
10 no possible objection to this Wholesale, ready
made manner Of discharging ones obligations, pro-
vided the knefciare will thereafter regard himself
only equal to his companions in absolute poverty.
But this they do not nor will not do. The same
kind Of style 10 which they have been accustomed
in their habits Of living must be supported no mat
ter at whose cost or at what sacrifice. Upon this
ground it is at least debate able and falls short of
the intent and meaning fthe act.
Our city affairs remain quite passive. The Rev.
Mr.. Finney is here, kicking up dust among the
Christians. He is indisposed to dcfle himself ny
the least association with tho impenitent. His
elequence finds sufficient sea-roem among profess.
ing ehristians-whom he charges with inconsis.
tency and want Of devotion. His labors meet with
but poor encouragement in our churches. Their
congregations number too many unsteady ones,
6naneiers and spscuators in their respective lists
They turn deaf ear to his hsrrangues and positive
injuactions.
Our theatre is nightly crammed, to witness the
production of aladdin which has been got up
in . superior style, and at such cost. The mana
ger, Edwin Bean, (whil"m Of the Eagle Street.
Buffalo,) has gathered about him well selected
stock company, and among which is Mrs. Mcclure,
Little Forrest and Joe Parker, late Of the Chatham

Wild GEESE AT FAuLr.-During several OF the
warm days last week, the wild geese were seen
flying in ocks Of all sorts, sizes and numbers, over
our CITY to the North Bet on Sunday last it snow
ed little, on Monday il grew cold, and yesterday
yet colder, even as cold a. Spitzbergen or Nova
Zembla; and since Monday orr birds OF passage
wav back to the balmy regions of the South"
lust as fast, as before they had retreated thererom
we had before been induced to believe that the
passage Of the wild geese to the north was sign of
the break up of winter; but in future, we will be-
ljeve that that bird knows no more Of the weather
to come than the almanac makers themselves know.
Yesterday the weather. though not as cold as 1t has
been in all times past, operated severely upon the
ears of those who had not caps to draw over them,
as did the coolest day last winter.-S. Louis

ILLINOIS AND WIsxoNsAN-The annexation OF
the northern part Of Illinois to Wisconsin occupies
the attention of the people to that district just at
present, when the State is much in debt and the
currency SO bad. Petitions are in circulation con.
cerning this change based upon the ordinance OF
1887 which declares that the constitutional bounda.

Michigan" and extended west to the Mississippi.
The settlers in Northern Illinois have been for q
long time very desirous to Join Wiskonsan. They
look upon the Southern part Of Illinois as under
the rule Of the Hoosicrs, and being so much the
largest portion the whole State, that the Hoosers
will bold good in pJpefuo.

the fire originated, three small buildings and one
two story brick dwelling were consumed and the
"Seccnd Congregational Church formerly
known as Chase's Church, was considerably dam
aged.
On Delaney street, west of Forsyth street. a
marble mandatory. German potter House,
two story brick dwelling, thee story brick store
and dwelling on the corner, and several. frame
buildings were destroyed. East of Forsyth street
two story brick grocery and dwelling, and two
two story brick dwellings,, were consumed, and
three others unroofed AVID nearly demolished.
On Forsyth street, from ten to twelve buildings
on each side, mostly neat two story brick dwellings
were consumed
On Eldridge street, north of Broome, west side,
ten or TIVE I've buildings, similar in description to
those on Forsyth street. were consumed those on
the east side escaped, though much scorched-
South of B roome street. three two story brick dwell
mgs were destroyed.
On Broome street six or eight two story brick
dwellings, were consumed, and the four or five re-
naming were saved with great eXertion and per-
severance on the part of the fremen.
The number of houses destroyed cannot fall
short of one hundred, and were tenanted chiefly by
that portion of the community who cannot afford
to bear the loss. Hundreds of families have lost
their all by this me lancholy calamity. 1t would
be moderate estimate to average the number of
!
Of the value of the property consumed, no cor
rect estimate yet be formed. Probably not
less than forty five fifty of the dwellings were
worth from $4,000 to $4,000; and 1t would be a
moderate estimate compute the value of the bal
ance ofthe property consumed at about halfas much
more making an aggregate of some 100000.
To this appalling loss may doubtless be added
furniture &c. to the amount of twenty or thirty
thousand dollars.
While this fire was raging, another broke out
about four o'clock in the of 524 Pearl street,
in bakery and owing to the absence ofall the en-
gines at the fire up town, the rear of five buildings
were in flames before any thing could be done to-
wards checking it. The iresoon spread through
to Anthony St on one side and Elm on the other,
d. stroying some thirty buildings ofall kinds. The
rears of No. 524 to $50 on Pearl street were
much damaged together with the rear of 80 Elm,
and the buildings adjoining; indeed the grocery
store, corner of Elm and Anthony, was about the
only one of the block uninjured
By these two great fires some three hundred
families, nearly all poor people, have been turn-
ed out of DOORS most of them with the destruc-
ton or great damage to their furniture and proper
ty.
The upper parts of the city were in high state
of alarm, but so high was the wind that thousands
of persons In the lower wards never knew there
was fire.
! Another fire broke out at half past IL o'clock
the same night, at the corner of Maiden lane and
Nassau street, but was happily subdued without
much trouble
