The DECLINE IN GoLD.-The New FORK
World dilates on the ''singular condition
OF the gold and Government" bond mar
kete, and the downward tendency of both
in the greenback quotations. The World
says:
This downward tendency Of the green
back prices is viewed by the heavy and
shrewd holders of bonds as an evidence OF
an Improvement in our Government credit,
which is likely to bring our paper currency
to specie standard before great lapse OF
time. While these are the views of GER
tain portion Of the community, there are
Others of similar Understanding and lntlu-
ence who favor the immediate abolition OF
the legal-tender act and the resumption OF
specie PAYMENTS on the California plan OF
making gold the standard for ali prices and
quoting grcenbackS at Il discount. This
would annihllate the gold-rOom and specu-
lutions in gold, and .wouidrelieye the nation
from the evils Of 4 fuctuating standard
for prices deprecated below the gold
value. The question of reSuming specie
payments on some plan by which it can be
done ut an early date is much discussed
among bankers and merchants. The test
suit before the Supreme Court at Washing
tOn--the decision in which was postponed
last year-is likely TO be decided III January.
The opinion prevails with those well ill.,
formed that the court will declare the legal
tender act unconstitutional. This may or
may not be the case but nevertheless it Is
incumbent on every prudent banker and
merchant to prepare for the eyentuality by
getting out OF debt"

Two DWELLINGS BURNT.-This morning
the two blick houses occupied respectively
by Mrs. Follmyer and Miss PAMELA Eng
lish. on Main street, were destroyed by fire.
Nothing whatever was saved from the store
room or in the way Of furniture. Mrs. Holl-
myer and her invalid mother-in-law, who
slept up stairs, barely escaped with their
lives, in their night garments. 1t was In
sured in the Mutual, at Richmond, for
her groceries, &c, for about $4,000, but as
there was no insurance on furniture her
loss is double what she was insured for. The
next house adjoining was owned and occu-
pied by Miss PAMELA English. Most Of the
furniture was saved, though very much bro
ken and injured. Her house was insured in
the Mutual at Richmond for about 81 200,
which is but little over half the loss sus-
tained.-FFedericksb Herald, 1st.
