Aufn, Remuneration In Chicago.

The Gre originated in a large brick
store on Water street, aud extended
through to Lake street destroying ten OF
the largest business houses in that city,
together with most of their contents
The damage by fire and water ranges from
$500, 900 to 81 900, 600.
The fire broke out at about 4 4. M.
on Monday last, and ragged about four
hours before it could be checked.
The extensive Book Store of B D.

But the worst of the case is yet to
come. The walls of ID. b. Cooke Il Co.'S
store fell upon wooden building, oc-
cupied by Barnum, crushing beneath its
ruling large number of persons who
were engaged in removing goods there
from.
The scene was awful beyond descrip,
ton. 1t was supposed that there were
from 40 to 80 men buried beneath the
ruins, to be either burned to death or
drowned.
The wall of agony that rent the air,
when this awful catastrophe took place
was heart rending to hear. All assis'

when our informant left Chicago, nine

Mormon CUtrayes.

WASHINGTON, Oct, ia letter has
been receive in this city from W. I.
Landon, one of the clerks whom the sur
yeyor- G eneral Burr left in charge OF the
Office who for his own safety left the
Territory of Utah last spring. lie was
on the 18th September in Plaeervliie'
California. In giving account OF his es-
cape from Salt Lake City, he says that
while in conversation with party OF eml.
grants, he was assaulted by gang OF
Mormons led by fellow named Dick Pc
tit and a ruffian associate, who without
cause severely beat him withe stones and
clubs. He was scarcely able to reach
home in consequence of his wounds.
The same afternoon they attacked the
deputy Surveyor, Mage, with stones
Landon was driven from his home at
night, leaving his wife and child at Salt
Lake City. After adroitly gliding his M,
armed pursuers, he reached Placervllle
in the most distressing condition. lie
says he met on the road the Indian fe-
ter, who used to frequent the Surveyor
Generals Office.
Peter informed him that Brigham
Young had sent him out to get horses
and carbines The Indian spared his
life because he had on several occasions
given him red paint. Landon had not
long parted from him before he (the In
dian) shot a man with four balls. The
man escaped, though much injured
Another clerk in the Surveyor General S
Office, Mr.. Wilson, was also attacked by
Mormons. They roughly seized him
tearing him away from his family. They
command him to 90 along with them aud
make no fuss, or they would damned sooF
show him what they were going to dc
with him. Mr.. Landon's letter gives
the particulars of those occurrences. H'
concludes by saying that all the Nor
mons have left Paaceville and Carson Val
ley for the purpose of defending Zion.

ORR DUTY.

These are times in which every man
should do all in his power to pay his
debts, thereby enabling his creditor &c
pay his obligations. The farmers of
Iowa do not, and will not, feel the effects
of the ''panic' as most of the laboring
classes who live farther east do. The far
mers, who Lave not gone into spocula-
tons, having good crops, will be enabled
to pay their store and other debts. even
if they have to sell a portion Of their
produce at low fgures-and we verify be-
lieve they should pay these small debts
The merchants have large amount of
them, aud if all are paid the aggregate
amount will be large, which will enable
our merchants to pass the winter without
suspending; if these debts arc not paid, il
will be difficult if not impossible for them
to get along; and when one portion suf-
fers, all suffer Farmers think chat it is
hard to sell their grain so cheap, ard SC
it il, but is harder to be in debt. We
would not advise farmers to sell all their
grain now, for it may be that there viii
be foreign demand that will increase
the price, but this is uncertain, and VIZ
do not think 1t would be judicious to hire
money at thirty-six per cent. and wal
for rise. Money is not to be had, il
any great amount, and our merchant,
have got to take produce for their good
or they will have to keep them.
We see that Mossrs. Kiser, Grew
Turner, propose to take all kinds Of pro
duce, at the highest market price, in pa,
for goods. This will be great ac
commodation to farmers, and no doub
will be beneficial to all concerned.
| In conclusion, we would say, pay al
the debts you can, keep out of debt, an,
economist in every possible way, there
| by we shall be enabled to pass the crisi
without serious injury

ssimnlieity O. Drcss,

Prentice Of the Louisville Journal,
speaks thus plainly and sensibiy to his
readers
Those who think that, in order to
dress well, it is necessary to dress ex,rav-
agantly and gandily, make great mistake.
Nothing so we'll becomes true feminine
beauty as simplicity. We have seen
many remarkably fine person robbed Of
its fine effect BY being over dressed:
Nothing is more unbeconing than over
loaded beauty. The simplicity of the
classic taste is seen in old statues aud pic
lures, painted by men Of very superior
artistic genius. In Athens the ladics
were not saudily but simply arrayed, and
We doubt whether any ladies' excited
greater admiration. So also, the noble
old matrons, whose superb forms were
worthy Of them, were also plainly dressed
Fashion often presents the lines Of but
terhieS, but fashion is not classic god
dess.

Developments at Washing ssFrauds by

officers in rather unpleasant circumstan-
ances. | am sorry to say that the rumor

steamboats have been made at the bridge
this season, and 5Sl RATS When we
recolect that Of these nearly a thousand

have experienced any serious accident,

Chicago trial, 10 which nine out Of the

an obstruction to navigation. We think
the feeling against this bridge will grad

Fearful Earthquake i'm Peru, south
America.

On the 10th Of August severe shock
of an earthquake took place in Peru, by
which the city Of Puira suffered severely.
A private letter received by gentleman
in Panama, from thence, dated August
Both, says: At O clock Oh the morning
of the 10th, the most severe shock of an
earthquake ever remembered was felt here
which has done damage to the amount of
$500, 900. The sheck lasted about min
uteand forty five seconds, and every house
in the town has suffered more or less.
The police have had l22 houses taken
down that were inadangcrous state, and
a number of the churches have been de-
stroyed. The damage done is estimated
at 100000 The river Puira, which
had been dry, suddenly rose; in other
places the ground opened, and jets Of
dark celored water were elected. There
is no record of any similar phenomena
having taken place. At Paita the effects
of the earthquake were less severely felt.

About forty Counties have been heard
from, and the Republican gains so far,
are about 1000 over the Democratic gains
az compared with the vote for Superin-
tendcnt of Public Instruction, last April,
when Fisher, Dem. was elected by over
500 maj. The Republican State ticket
is undoubtedly elected by from 5000 to
5000 majority. Enough has been heard
from to make it certain that the Senate
is Republican, and We think the House

4 Horse Pumning Wnter.

One of our friends in Ridley has two
horses which go to the pnmy in his barn
yard, almost daily and pump water for
their own use. One of these animals
commenced this singular feat last sum-
,;er, and since then has taught his fellow
to 60 Through with the same operation.
1t is really amusing to see one of these
horses put his mouth to the muzzle Of
the pump, while the other is engaged
drawing water The above facts can be
authenticated by numerous respectable
persons, who have witnessed the horses
drawing water when their necessities re-
quire it.--D.lawarc Go. Republican.

Tuy Hoo MARKET-We copy the
following from the Cincinnati Price C"r
Y<n:
The feeling in the market for hogs for
November delivery continues very un-
settled there being few buyers at any price
and several sellers Some contracts have
been made within the last two weeks at
Sc per cwt,, net, November delivered, but
Ec believe there are no buyers at this
price now. The unsettled STATE and great
uncertainty as regards the future of fl
nancial matters, deters the packers from
making any contracts, and leads to dis
position on their part to hold of for the
purpose Of being able to witness uncm-
h2rasscd the result of this financial cr.-
s:s. The corn crop is now matured and
may be considered not best in quality,
but the largest in quantity ever raised in
the country, by say twenty-five per cent,
and the indications are quite conclusive
that it will rule at extraordinary low pri-
ccs, thus rendering the feeding Of it to
hogs, even though they should rule at
si,5o per cwt. net, the most profitable
disposition which can be made Of it, and
this saust lead to large supply of pork
