%MoNuMENT TO FRANKLIN.-The
Chattanooga (Ga.) Advertiser makes the
following proposition for the purpose of
raising funds TO erect Monumen' to Ihe
memory Of the illustr.ous FRANKLIN.
We think it decidedly good one, and
hope it may be carried out. Here is the
suggestion
That every daily paper contribute six
dollars, tri-weekly three dollars, SEM
weekly two dollars, weekly one dollar, and
monlhies and periodicals not less than
one dollar. 1t is hoped the press gang
will all contribute to the advancement OF
this object-the erection of monument
to the memory of one who has reflected
so much credit to our craft--one so close
ly identified in the struggles of our glori-
Gus Republic for liberty. Brethren Of
the press. let us go into this work with a
determination to accomplish it. We
would suggest, also, that every Journey
man Printer contribute not less than fifty
cents, and Apprentices not less than
twenty five cents"
1t having been proposed that L. A. God
ey and G. r. Graham be chosen to receive
all contributions for the above purpose,
Graham responded as follows:
"Well, we have only say, that we
are ready TO contribute our assessment Of
mot less than one dollar" by making i,
$50. If Cooley and Graham are treas.
urers, the press may rely npon one thing
they will keep the bal in motion, and
not let the subject die. AS the newspa-
per press is pretty intimate with them,
we presume they will endorse US for that
at all events. As we speak to twenty
one hundred newspapers each month. we
should have fair chance Of bringing the
subject up constantly. Bullet the cash
keepers be minor consideration. Shall
we raise the monument That is the
question" )"
We hope the "press-gang will oil
come .sdown with the dust" Our dollar
is ready.

EPFIRsT Snow SToRM--The Pittsburg
dailies of last Tuesday, state that they
had most disagreeable snow there on
Monday, and say it looked like snow while
falling, but before it reached the ground
it was more like rain. At Hollidaysburg
it was one foot deep on Monday evening
at4 o'clock, and two feet deep on the noun
tains, and still showing, without any hope
of abatement.

|0TPLYMoUrH SrEAN MILL-0ur citizens
have long lsbored under serious inconyeni.
enee for want Of Flouung Mill which
might be depended on all the year sround'
those mills which used water power being
able 10 go only part oflhe year. Thswaut
of such mill forced us to get the most Of
our -four from abroad. Several of our cit
izens, feeling the loss We were sustaining
in having no mill, made efforts to induce
capitalists TO build here, they proved unsuc-
cessful. Last summer, Mr.. ). p. WEBER,
one of our most en'erprising business men,
concluded TO take the matter finland, and
by his great perseverance and energy, he
has succeeded in completing all his arrange
ments for mill of the first class. The
mill is now in successful operation,
under the management of one Of the best
millers in the State, and is able to grind
five hundred bushels of wheat daily. The
flour which is made there is Of superfne
quality, and our citizens show their ap-
preclation of Mr.. WEBBER's enterprise by
prelerring his -four to that of any other in
the market. Heretofore. we have had to
depend on the Ashland Mill, but we are
sure in short time twill be not much in
demand, as Mr.. w. is determined to fur
nish as good an article and at less price
We are decidedly favorable TO encourag-
ing home productions, especially when
they are as good and cost less, and hope
our readers generally will concur with us.
As particular atten ion will be paid
to customer work, those leaving grain
a, the Plymouth Mill will have their work
done promptly and well.
By our advertising columns, il will be
seen that Webber's Flour may be OBJ
aimed at the stores of our business men
generally.

OF FIRES AT NoRwALK.--We regret
to learn from the Norwalk Reflector that
two fires occurred at that place last week,
making throe in less than one week:
!" n Tuesday afternoon last, small
barn in the rear of w. K. Hoyl's cabinet
shop, owned and occupied by DR. Webbar,
was discovered to be on fire. Adjoining
The barn, was shed in which there was
quantity of lumber, owned by Mr. Hoyt.
The buildings were entirely consumed,
but by great exertion, large portion of
The lumber was saved. 1t was said thai,
the fire originated from the lighted pipe of
some person who had been in the barn a
short time before the alarm.

P. M The citizens were again startled by
the ringing of the alarm bells and cry oi

eson. 1t was a small wooden structure,
located in the east part of !he town. mex
adjoining the residence of Daniel Water
Gus. Here again the building was almos
entirely consumed, for the want Of water, {
portion of the lower story only was saved
and tha, in damaged state. The iurni

The fire is supposed to have taken by
sparks from the chimney dropping into {
bunch of hay or straw which had beer
inserted between the roof and the chin

upon the premises.
1t was fortunate that the weather wa
calm during The fire on Tuesday. Hal
there been b'isk breeze from the east
ward, as there was short time previous
to the alarm, the consequence, no doubt
would have been serious. The building
in which the fire originated, was nearl,
surrounded by dwellings and barns of th'
most combustible nature, many OF then
in close proximity, and it was only b,
the greatest vigilance and labor, still as i
was, that the fire was prevented from ex

Fox ne Advertiser
The organization Of an Agricultural
Society for holding an Annual Fair in or
near the village Of Plymouth. has, as
am informed, been a subject of discus
sion among our citizens and many of the
farmers in The adjacent townships. To
organize and carry out the objects Of such
Society would produce many good re.
suits of that there can be n O doubt. To
secure which, it would be necessary to con.
tract for the use Of, for term of years, or 10
purchase, in fee, a piece of land conligu.

modate the wants of the Society, To
accomplish this object, suggest for con-
sideralion the Tontine plan to raise funds
for The purpose Divided into shares Of
not less than five dollars each. I think
! If the citizens of the place and the farm
ers of the surrounding township really
feel the interest in the matter they appear
to manifest. the amount of funds neces-
sary TO purchase and fit up the fair
grounds may so be raised. The use oi
the lot would probably pay reasonable
yearly interest on the money invested.

many thousands of those children who nee d

viii there be War?

The present condition Of affairs in Europe,
have occasioned much speculation on this side
of the Atlantic. We cannot see how war is
to be avoided, though, in these days, diplo-
macy effects wonders. The state of affairs be-
tween Russia and Turkey are as follows
Russia has demanded of Turkey concession
which she peremptorily refuses to grant.
Russia sends an army into Moldavia and Wal
lacha, provinces belonging TO Turkey; but
which by treaty are under tbe protection Of
Russia not as Count Nesselrode says, for
purposes Of conquest, but as indemnity, until
Turkey complies. This is virtual violation
of the treaty between Russia and Turkey.
England and France are under treaty obliga-
tons 10 defend Turkey. The fleets of these
nations are in the Mediterranean, one hun
dred and fifty miles from Constantinople.
How in the state of affairs, is war to be ayoi-
ded? The British papers oppose the idea of
war-France is favorable to it. The former
is opposed in every particular TO injury, the
latter has much in the way Of glory to gain
from a collision. Russia processes to occupy
a neutral position, but has sent her armies to
Peterwardien, and levied new subsidies upon
Turkey. Hungary will strike for independ.
ence-so will Poland. Italy will join France
and England and provoke Russia, or by re-
naming quiet provoke France to cut away
through her territories. War, and such
war as must follow the difficulties between
Russia and Turkey, will deluge Europe in
blood, and never cease until the great battle
between freedom and absolutism is fought
Diplomacy may prevent it all, but we think
that the prospect is now fair for the bloodiest
conflict Of modern times Toledo Blade.
