SILVER CITY, OWYHEE COUNTY L. 4. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1862
A WIFE THAT CROWS.

There is in this city young married
woman who is very trungly afflicted
with mania for initiating the CROWN
OF the morning cock, while in state of
somnolence. We are assured that at the
hour appointed by nature for chantic!eer
to frighten away the midnight prowlers
from yawning graveyards, the fortunate
husband of the growing wife" on the
iirst night of his marriage, was aroused
FROM his slumbers by most lusty crow
ing. On opening his eyes what was his
astonishment to behold his better half
seated in the middle of the connubial
couch tapping her wings and growing in
loud and clear voice, stretching out her
neck IN the most approved rooster fash.
ion. Triee did she thus "herali in the
morn, and then sank back and slept on.
In the morning he spoke to her about it,
and was not more surprised than amused
to learn that she had been born in the
country, and that favorite Shanghai"
which roosted with his teatherd family
in the hencoop near the window of the
maternal bed chamber, frightened her
mother by his loud growing, and thus
the child was "marked" And ever since
she has been wont TO wake the echoes of
the coming dawn by initiating 'ye roos-
ter" and still she flaps her wings and
crows
AS the business of the husband re-
4ulres him to rise very early, he is rather
pleased than otherwise to find his wife
possessed Of this additional ACCOMPLISH
ment, which dispenses with the nee essity
OF an alarm clock, though having heard
his grandmother say that the Growing Of
hen indicated bad luck, unless her head
were immediately ly cut off, he is in some
doubt whether, in order to secure
good fortune to his household, lie is
not in duty bound to stop his wifes
growing by severing her musical throat,
We advise him to let his chen" crow on.
so long as she does not "pcck' him
Some persons may question the truth
OF the remarkable incident, but we can
assure such that it is true in every par
tlcular, and can be vouched for by re-
sponsible parties who have known the
lady from infancy; and the moral Of it is,
that ladies who do not desire "crowing
children should not sleep too near the

lie was a powerful man physically, a
man OF large mould-a great body and
great brain. He seemed made to last a
hundred years. Since Socrates there

there has not been such a grand figure in
all chrisiendom, A large man decorous
in dress, dignifed in department, he
walked as if he felt himself king. Men
from the country who knew him not star
ed at him as he passed through the
streets The coal beavers and porters of
London looked on him as one of the
great forces of the globe. They recog-
nized native king. In the Senate of
the United States, he looked an emperor
in that council Even the majestic Cal.
hOun looked common compared with him.
Clay looked vulgar, and Van Buren, but
fox. His countenance, like Stafford's,
was "manly black" His mind,
Was lodged in fair lofty room.
On his brow

Saturn and llermes in his countenance.
What a mouth he had 1t was a lions

Destructive Fire.-MOrOcco Factory
Rtrneu.

A few minutes after eleven O'Clock last even
Ing fire broke out in the large frame build
ing on Monroe street, corner of Fourth occupied
by Mr. Thomas Pitt late of the firm Of Logan,
Pitt Il Logan, as II morocco mandatory and
sheep skin dressing establishment
The flames spread rapidly and though the fire.
men were ON the ground as soon ms possible, 1t
became evident That they could do nothing to-
wards saving the building At one time the
flames spread to the surrounding property and
two small frame buildings belonging to Jacob
Rcbman caught fire several times. One of them,
the one nearest TO the fire, got pretty badly burn
cd but tho prompt efforts of the firemcn saved
them from destruction, though the scarcity of
water, owing to the insignificant pipes laid in
that section of the city, very much impaired the
efficiency of the fire department.
The fire in the factory burned itself out in
about an hour and the whole building was con-
sumed. The loss OH building and contents will
be between $4,000 and $1,000, on which there is an
insurance of about 81, 500. The building belong
cd to Samuel G. Logan and the contents to Thos.
Pitt. There was quite quantity Of skins in the
watts but only those on top were injured and the
others were taken out in good condition this
morning. A building on the same site belonging
to the same parties was burned about year ago.
The destruction of the property each time
may justly be attributed to the absurd penny
wise and pound-foolish system of laying three
inch PIPES connected with the old basin all over
this section instead of putting down six inch
1 mains connected with the new basin.
Mr.. Logan believes the fire to have been the
work of an incendiary, and offers reward OF
one hundred dollars for his detection. There
has been M fire used in the building for week
past, none hcng needed, in good weather, in the
| process of manufacture.

CENTRAL rs. SrAR.-These two Sussex county
clubs played social game at Stafford, on Satur-
day. the 18th instant, which resulted in victory
for the Star by a score oil 81 to 49,
WAwAsgr rs. ArIAs.-The match game be-
tween these two clubs was commenced Thursday
on the Union Grounds, near the City Railway De-
pet Three innings were played, at the close OF
which the score stood II to 0. The fourth inning
was commenced while it was raining and during
the last half of it, while the Wawasct were at the
bai the Allns having already played their half of
the nnng the rain commenced falling SO fast
that the game had to be stopped.
II Is now uncertain when the game will be
played. The Atlas Club wants to play 1t at Della
ware City, on Monday, but the Wawaset Club In
ssts on having the first game of the series played
here, as they have right to do, they being the
challenged party. They propose next Thursday,
not being able to get their full nine out again be-
fore that time. BY that time, however, two OF
the Atlas nine will be away at school, and that
club wants the game played on Monday, that be-
Ing the last day which they can play their full
nine.
1t seems probable that the clubs will be unable
to agree on day, and that the match will not be
concluded this season, though the Wawaset we
believe insist that us they are the challenged clut
that their opponents arc bound TO play the first
game On What ever day they may fix.

OUR LETTER BOX.


writer In to-day's Journal over the signature
of Economy" maintains that Wilmingtonians
should go to Philadelphia to make their pnr-
chases, asserting that by so doing they can buy
much cheaper In my mind the whole tenor OF
such articles as this is exceedingly damaging
to the business interests Of this city, and II It's
principles were generally carried out by our peo-
Pile for a year or two, 1t would utterly PROSTATE
our business interests and retard the growth of
the city to an extent not dreamed of by anybody.
II II were true that our merchants asked exor-
btant prices for their goods and the price lists Of
our manufacturers were unreasonably high, there
would then be some excuse for the programme
proposed by the class to which Economy" be-
longs-a class who have no pride in their city; no
regard for the welfare Of her merchants, no In
terest in her prosperity whateyer but such is not
the truth. Our merchants are honorable men,
fair dealing-our best citizens; they have not
shown any lack of enterprise, nor have they
grown rich by extortion; in fact no city in the
world presents more respectable class of BUSH
ness men than Wilmington.
And there can be no question but that their
prices really compare favorably with those of our
ncighboring city, although the opposite belief,
regret to say,has obtained quite largely. The
mentioned by Economy" wherein basket of
peaches could be bought in Philadelphia at a less
price than here is very trlaing and that gentle
man must know that frequently it happens the
peach market here is much lower than in the lat
ter city. Why were peaches SO cheap in Phila-
delpha on the day alluded to? Was 1t not be-
cause the market was overstocked after a great
storm, and the peaches were in rapid process Of
rotting and rendering it necessary to sell at any
price3 Were Wilmington as good a mar
ket for peaches as Philadelphia, we, too, could
have bought them at 80 cents basket | shall
have more to say on this subject.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, FROM ALL SOURCES.
WASHINGTON, Aug 27.
RuMoRs.
The air was filled with rumors ofa rupture
in the Cabinet session between the President
and General Grant, to-day.
THE CABINET
met shortly before one o'clock, and was in
session two hours. All were present but
the War Department but returned and re-
manned till the close. 1t is supposed one of
the subjects of discussion was the Sheridan
and Sickles removal
TIE ORDERS
relieving these two officers were dictated by
the President himself, and he permitted their
publication before they were sent to the War
Department, in order to show to the country
that the act was his own, and that he took
the responsibility.
THE CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
That the President has overruled General
Grant, In directing Gen. Sheridan to proceed
directly to Fort Leavenworth and relieve
Gen. Hancock there, instead of coming to
WdSuilStou, anu rcpOrtinS W UeI. 0Idut.
as directed in Gen. Grants order, assigning
Gen. Thomas to Sheridans place, is clear,
and this change was intended to defeat tile
proposed ovation to Gen. Sheridan on his
arrival here, which was contemplated by his
friends.
This, together with the removal of the re-
striction placed by Gen. Grant upon Thomas
to continue in force all OF Sheridan's orders,
must undoubtedly produce an irreconcilable
difference between the President and Gen.
Grant, and, it is believed, will lead to the
early retirement of the latter from the Secre-
taryship of War ad interim.
RANDALL
| Has gone to New York, with the assurance
that neither himself nor the President
wishes him to leave his place in the Cabinet.
| GENERAL GRANT PUTS DOWN HIS FosT.
1t is believed by prominent gentlemen
here that the differences between the Presi-
dent and General Grant in relation to the
removal of Generals Sheridan and Sickles
are irreconcilable. The orders issued by
the President yesterday, directing General
Hancock to relieve General Sheridan, and
General Candy to relieve General Sickles,
| have not yot been cxccutrd,
Ii is said that General Grant, In letter
| to the President, declines to direct the Or
der to be executed, and states his refusal in
strong terms, virtually denying the right OF
the President to interfere in any one of the
five military districts created by Congress,
asserting that the entire control Of the de-
partments rests, by the supplemental Recon
struction act, on the General of the armies
of the United States, and that therefore he
is not at liberty, and will not transfer it to
another.
The letter has not been made public, but
the above statement Is believed to be relia-
BILE, as it is derived from usually well in
formed sources
