/ A fire at Oil City, Pa, on Monday morn
ing destroyed SAC, 1000 worth of property.
The city was near being destroyed. "A
brick building on State street, Chicago,
was blown down during storm which
ragged in that vicinity on Sunday, Killing
four persons. The Chicago Journal speaks
of it as being the severest of the season.
1.-THE New York Express states that
the Fenians are fully prepared for war;
that Stephens has been succeeding well in
this country, and that the great Irish picnic
soon to take place at Jones' Wood, N. Y,
will be the last meeting Mt which Stephens
will be present before the struggle begins.
......A Washington dispatch AYERS that the
State Department, on Saturday pronounced
the recent sensational dispatch about a
treaty having been agreed upon, by which
the French withdraw from Mexico, on this
Government assuming the French claims
and agreeing to maintain protectoratc
over that country, and also receiving ccr-
tain ccssions Of Mexican. territory for the
United States, gross fabrication, having
but very little foundation. 30. .Gen. Swec-
ny has caused a card to be issued saying
that he resigned the position rs secretary
Of war at the Troy congress and declined
the offer of, commandcr-in-chicf of the ar
my of Ireland which was rendered him by
that body, and that he will not take part
at present in the proceedings of the broth
crhood.. 1T is believed the president will
soon remove E. A. Tollins commissioner
of internal revenue and will appointin his
place a gentleman Of high legal attain
incnts and unusual business cdpacity......
A Washington dispatch says; The prcs-
dent has at last told Mr.. Stanton that he
must resign, and the latter, seeing ltiSdis-
missal inevitable, has reluctantly promised
to do SO. The new secretary Of war will
be Hon. Edgar Cowan, of Pennsylvania,
now United States senator from that
state; and, until the 4th of March next,
Gen. Sherman will probably net as4ecre-
tary of war 0d interim. This wills be a
bitter pill to Stanton; but no will no doubt
have a great many more to swallow, even
more bitter. n o..

From Utah we learn that the crops OF
wheat, oats and barley are generally good;
in few places they have been injured by
the rust, owing to the wet. Potatoes will
give an exceedingly liberal yield. The
hay crop is large beyond all precedent, and
ten dollars per ton will he about the aver
age price. Last year the rate was one hun
dred dollars per ton. Prices will be low.
Flour sells at from fveto eight dollars

Pearl waived an examination before the

the authorities, it is not our business to

Accidents. .,ar 81 .Hs.|
Col. 10, Of the Clayton Co. Journal, has
several accidents of a serious character

we copy, without the captions:
On Thursday last while the workmen on
Davis & Co.'s new store house were en-
gagged in throwing of rubbish from the
top of the building, platform, which had
been used to hoist rock and mortar, was
thrown down carelessly by ono of the. Ger
man workmen, and, as it proved, unfortu-
nately and fatally striking on VIM. Satter-
lies head. The latter fell almost Instant
ly. Medical aid was summoned at once,
aud the most careful treatment was be-
slowed on him, but he never spoke again.
He died on Sunday morning and was
buried that afternoon. His remains were
accompanied BY his many old comrades
and friends. VIM. was we'll thought of,
both at home and while in the army. In
June 1868 he enlisted under Capt. Upton
in the 9Th Iowa cavalry and served faith
fully and honorably till discharged at the
close of the war. He was q years of age.
John Wilkc, a German farmer in Wag.
ner Township, was killed in a most shock

gagged ON a Thrcshing Machine, and ON get

stepped into the knuckles of the tumbling

PAINriSG.--We need not direct the
public to the sign on the front part ofthe
TINES Block it shows for itself. The
painter, BYRON VAN DYKE, is former cit
izen Of our place, and for two years was an
employe of this Office. Persons DESTROYS
of plain or ornamental work at low, or
high prices, arc hereby guaranteed entire
satisfaction or no charges. VAN is not
pretensious, but he is slave to his bust
ness, i.} e-seEs e-at!.
In Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and
other western cities, he can show cyidcn-
ccs of his skill as an artist that would make
the fortune Of many who are on the tramp
for work. The largest and one of the most
noted signs in Chicago, "Steinway's Pr
AMOS" on the old Brunswick Billiard Hall,
is BrRoS's work. He will remain here on
" few days, and parties desiring first
class work in any line of painting or
skctching will do well to- call on him.
All of the latley sown fall whcat-felds
we saw, while on short trip down through
out our border counties, were as bare as
when freshly narrowed. The grasshoppers
having foraged upon the young wheat as
long as 1t lasted, now are busily engaged
in digging for the halfrotten seed. The
larvae tdeposit by the insects are, under
the genial influence of the Indian summer
sun, rapidly Matching into grubs, which de-
scend into the soil below the frost-linc
as soon rs developed. Those farmers who
are not forced to dispose of this season s
crop, will do well to retain it. For, though
we do not propose to become sensation
list, VIC cannot forbear giving this warning.
