FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TEE FIRE.-At
the time of writing the short and hasty &C
count we gave in yesterdays paper, we were
unable to learn very full or correct particulars
concerning it.. We estimated the loss at
1880. Perhaps this is not too high, but the
types made us say $500. ..-. .a.r 4
The building was owned by the lessees of
the land, which belongs to Messrs. Borup. &
Oakes. Mr.. Schiller, proprietor of the Hair
Dressing Saloon, thinks his loss about $1,000,
on which he has an insurance in the Quaker
City Insurance Co. Of $780, He has no idea
of how the fire originated. He was in bed
asleep at the time, and was only woke up in
time to escape in a very airy garment, and
saved nothing, not even suit of clothes.
Precour, the French shoemaker, who occu-
pied the other side of the building, had a con-
siderable stock of goods, some of which We're
taken out in time, but, we blush to say, were
stolen afterwards. His loss is, as near as can
be estimated, 81 900, on which we could hear
of no insurance. A journeyman in his en-
ploy last trunk containing all his clothes,
and another lost $47 in gold.
The injury to the Mime ha-ha engine house
can be repaired, it is estimated, at cost Of
about $3.50 or $500. The house was just
ready for occupancy. 1t was beautifully fin
ished inside, and the plastering is totally ruin
ed, while part of the roof and the whole cupo-
| la will have to be rebuilt The house was in
sured by the city sometime since, in the Hart
ford Insurance Co., and the contractors, who
had not yet given it completed into the hands
of the city, will lose nothing. Its occupancy
by the Company, however, will be deferred
some time.
The fremen, as we stated yesterday, work
ed long and we'll. under many discourage

The victims of misplaced confidence"
and dupes of Railroad Companies false pre-.
fences, celebrated the glorious Fourth in
very appropriate manner, in this village. The
procession was well mounted and though not
as large as it probably would have been had
the weather been fine, was highly respecta-
BILE and appropriately equipped. In addition
to the national flag, several smaller banners
were borne with appropriate notices. Upon
one was printed the following:
VICTIMS OF MISPLACED CONFIDENCE"
Were mary red' but Railroad Currency"
"The bends are sold $50 are wei!
Very appropriate motto for the time, the
place, and attending circumstances. Every
citizen will readily acknowledge the truth so
concisely expressed in the closing sentence.
Another was,

"WFRE OPH!!"
Few will be disposed to dispute but what
the people are in for a good share OF it at

false representations, such that had private
individual made, no greater than to obtain

perty, they would have sent him to Stillwat

Never was a better ticket presented for
the sutfrages of the electors OF. this COM
monwealth Tho names Of tho candi-
dates are net unknown to the public, and
the character, ability and experiences OF
the nominees, from Governor to Supt. of
Public Institution, give a weight and
standing to the State Ticket that augurs
well for its success in the coming political
contest.
Strong names alone will not succeed,
they must be backed by uotes Republicans
in Wisconsin have the votes. which to a
man should be cast next November for
the Ticket that heads our columns. To
this end every lover of freedom, every
hater of tyranny, misruIe and Slavery has
a duty to perform, here and every where,
now and at all times, to secure the cleo
ton of the right men, men devoted to

A Very Bad Bridge.

About these DAYS there is considerable
excitement as to the safety of Railroad
Bridges. Apropos to this nervousness, a
story taid by Cincinnati editor comes
in play. Having occasion to visit Day
ton by the ears, he says he noticed q gen
tleman and lady seated in close juxtapo-
sition, and, judging from their conduct,
one would imagine that they were exceed
ing intimate. In front of the comforta-
bic pair sat two gentlemen, editors of two
German papers. When near Dayton,
tho train passed through long. dark
bridge. Amid the laundering and rat
ting of the cars q very suspicious coneus
son vas heard by those .neaecst the gen
tIernan and lady alluded to. AS they
emerged into the daylight, ole of the
German editors slowly drew his spectacles
down over his nose, aud exclaimed
"VelI, tink dat is tam bad bridge,
Ihear ham crack one, t,oo, three, four
times"
The lady drew down her veil, and for
the remainder of tie trip the pair looked
mute and quiet.

why Hobart was nominated.

The Free Democrat gives the follow
ing reason why Mr.. Hobart became the
Democratic nominee for Governor.
Robinson was an entirely urobjectiona-
Die man. He lacked only nino votes of
success and had there not been an active
combination entered into and formed
against him, he must have been chosen.
Why was he defeated, and who defeated
him? He was defeated simply because
he was obnoxious to the Barstow inf1u-
ence that defeated him. This is sufficient
commentary on the character the NOM
inee in that respect, and of the influences
which governed the Convention and con-
trolled the nomination of the whole ticket.
We are not now discussing the character
of that influence whether it is good, bad
or Indifferent. The people Of the State
know very well what it has been and is.
But whatever it was or is, it is the intiu-
ence which has made this ticket and will
be again restored to power by its sue
cess.

Advantages women have over
men.

Some one sums up the advantages Of
women over men as follows;
ga woman may say what she pleases
to you without being knocked down for
it. She can take a snooze after dinner,
while her husband has to go to work.
She can 60 forth into the streets without
being invited to treat at every coffee house.
She can paint her face if it is too pale,
and flour it if too red. She can stay at
home in time of war, and wed if her hus-
band is killed. She can wear corsets if
too thick-other fxins, if too thin. She
can eat, drink and be merry, without
costing cent. She can get divorced
from her husband whenever she sees one
she likes better. She can get in debt all
over, until he warns the public by ad
vertiscments-not to trust her on account
any longer.

Douglas.

The New York Herald never came
nearer speaking the honest truth than in
the following: 1--WE very much fear that
during the last five years Mr.. Douglas has
done more to build up the anti-slavery
movment of the North, and the secession
movement in the South, more to exas per-
ate the two sections against each other,
more to throw all our political parties into
the confusion of sectional animosities, more
to disturb the peace of the country, and
more to undermine the basis of sectional
good fellowship upon which alone the
Union can stand, than Seward and all the
Massachusetts abolitionists put together.
and including all the abolition labors Of q
quarter of a century"

I'VE are of the decided opinion that
Mr.. Grow will find when he gets into
Minnesota that he is not in Northern
Pennsylvania, and the laurels which he
has won in Wilmot's District and wears
so proudly, wall be- w;thered and destroy
ed by Minnescta's frosty sons of tbunder."
Let us look at this.
MFR. Grow wears laurels. Very likely.
/: tThese Iaarels will bewithercd.s How |!
By sons,-grown youth of masculine
gender,-trosty sops,-and, mira5ile dc
tt--sons of 1hunder.
We can see how frost can wither laurels
but how. frosty son can do it, we have
not the ability to perceive. And how
thunder, which shuns frost and cold,
which is itself begotten ly summer heats,
and nestles in the bosom of fiery clouds
how thunder can beget frosty sons, is
a marvel TO us. 4.
Isn't the thing ''slightually Mixed" Mr.
Wise. If you had a judicious friend
wouldn't he prescribe for You a careful
perusal of Boyd's Rhetoric, or some othor
standard work of like import and design.
If"frosty sons of thunder" is an admissi-
bic figure of speech, washall have TO learn
rhetorical enumeration over.

Organization.

n utility and necessity OF thorough
and efficient organization for the coming
= canvass talnot lie oyerrated. By no 9th
or means can the whole strength Of par
ty becoTe available and its full power be
felt and shown. We hope the committees
in the various towns will attend to this
matter without delay. Speakers should
be procured when possible, and the
various divisions of the Republican
force be in communication with each 9th
err Reliable political papers should be
circulated, that every man may be able to
rive reason for the faith that is in him.
s 1t is surprising to see the unconcern
that is manifested by many good citizens
in regard to matters of government.
ase Coleridge once said that politics and
# religion were the two subjects most wor-
thy of mans thought and attcntion, yet
uo,i many people place very little emphasis
.g upon their political faith, and put forth
.t;- but feeble effort in its behalf.

The Democratic Ticket.

The Free Democrat, speaking of the
Democratic ticket says
''The ticket we think very fairly repre-
sents the influences and the party which
nominated it. If those influences, and
that party are in the ascendant in the
State, it will doubtless be chosen and the
State have the benefit of its rule for two
years. But fairly representing, as we
state, the party and influences which chose
it, it is peculiarly incumbent on the repub-
leans to see that it is not successful All
that is pernicious in democracy eliminates
in this nomination and if the republicans
ever mean to rescue this State thoroughly
from that control, they should do it now
or forever after hold their peace"

Tribute to Carl ScEurZ.

A large public meeting was recently
held in Milwaukee in honor of Carl
Schurz who made one of his admirable
speeches. Judge SrALro, of CINCINNATI,
being called on, made brief speech, Of
which the following is an extract.
For many years my time has been en-
crossed by labcrs which have left me little
leisure and less time for politics. Never
theess | have been not wholly inditfer-
ent spectator of the struggle, which IS now
absorbing the best energies OF our people.
Whenever bolt was vigorously launched
into the camp of the enemy, | have fol-
lowed its curve and endeavered to witness
its explosion; and whenever brave word
was spoken OH behalf Of freedom, l have
listened to its accents, sought to interpret
its meaning, and tried to catch the re-
fluent wave of its reyerberation from the
breasts of American freemen. And it
has not escaped me, that the surest shots
and bravest words were those of him you
have come to honor--CARL SCHURZ.
Some Of you, / am told, regret that we
cannot salute him tonight as Governor
Schurz. While ! share your regret do
not particll ate in your modification, if
such there be. For while Mr.. Schurz
will not for some time to come, perhaps,
be the Governor of Wisconsin in the sense
you wished, he is already-witness the
enthusiasm of this mutitude-the Gov
ernor of the people OF your young State
in the good old Homeric sense-anas
dndron-a king Of men--the Governor
of your MOBILES. aspirations. And you
and /, | trust, feel that we can be just as
proud of him in grssping the hand of the
man "wbo needs no Coronet to make
him king" as if we were paying our
formal respects to the executive chief of
your commonwealth. For, whatever the
Convention at Madison may have done
Carl Schurz has long since been nomin
ated, elected and inaugurated Governor of
your minds, and as the bright faces before
mo attest, Governor of your hearts.
