rallied to the scene Of the FIRE, but could

The estimated loss to the Geyepnment

Various rumors are circulated as 10
the cause of the fire, some maintaining
it the work of an incendiary and others
an accident

THE HIGH PRIcR or FRUIrs AND VgcE.
TABLEs.--Thosa who complain OF the
high prices of the. Injuries and, TO a
certain extent, of the neeessaries of
life, says the Louisville Journal, should
remember that they have the remedy
in their own hands. Il those who at
tend our markets would forego for q
week or two, or perhaps even for a few
days, the purchase of the anripe fruit
and vegetables with which our market
stalls are loaded, they wonld soon bring
the sellers thereof TO their senses, and
we should secure cur eatables at about
bait the price which is now asked for
them. But so long as a rivalry continues
Tor immature fruits and vegetables, at
fabulous prices the prices will remain
fabulous, Tor the forestailers will take
good care that only the qualify of pro-
visions which caa be sold al high prices
shall find their way into market,
la this matter VIC lose nothing Inv n
little self-denial In regard to yegs,a.
bles and fruits, everybody knows thnt
the earliest receipts in the market are
comparatively worthless. They are not
only unripe, but indigestible. There is
a silly notion among too many Of our
people, and we regret TO say, among the
middhng classes, thai they must have,
more or less, of the FIRST OF any article
that comes into the market. Such COM
petition keeps the price Of everything
up long after fruits and vegetables be-
come really plenty. The corrective lies
with the people Themselves They have
