SEVERAL PERSONS have recently myste-
riously disappeared from Brooklyn, N Y,
causing considerable excitement among
their relatives and acquamtanccs, Among
these is nm old gentleman named George
Graham, seventy years of age, who left his
home No. 1913 Hudson Avenue, on the
2lst ult., and has not been heard from
since. A young lady of respectable pa
rentage has been missing from her home,
in East Brooklyn, for several days past, and
fears are entertained by her parents that
she has been abducted by some evil dis
posed peIsOns.

WILLIAM WALTON, w. P.

ReAp A reference to our advertising
columns will prove what we have often
asserted that our merchants and trades
men are as fully alive to their interests
and the wants of the public, as the bus
mess men of other cities. The DAILY
MONITOR has supplied the want which
all have felt for years, and those at all
DESTROYS of keeping up with the spirit
of the times are gladly availing them
selves Of the precedented privileges
afforded by the circulation of our paper
in every part of the city.
Nearly every business man in Eliza
beth has given us an advertisement for
one yea1-which, from the start rem
dered our success certain. The old
fashioned weekly stage coaches have
been found too slow for this age of en-
terprise besides, the practice of putting
Newark and New-York houses, to the
positive detriment of our tradesmen,
has at last opened wide the eyes of our
people, and the immense number of
Elizabeth advertisements in the DAILY
MONITOR, shows conclusively that our
efforts to retain trade at home are fully
appreciated.
If we need carpets or dry goods, we
can get just what we want at Z. P. Will
liams, or at Magic and Townley's +;
most fashionable bonnets can be OBJ
tanned at Capt. DeHart's, or at Mrs.
Johns, or of Miss Chandler, and at the
lowest prices, and we could enumerate
hundred other places in our own city,
where as good bargains can be had as
in New York.
Give our tradesmen chance. Let
them understand that you mean to en-
courage their enterprise, and our word
for it, we shall soon double the number
of stores, and goods Of every descrip-
ton will be selling at lower prices than
the same quality can be had at else
where. Wehear of certain parties who
go to New-York, paying the cash for
articles purchased, but when they buy
at home they invariably ask credit Is
this fair ? Think of the ruinous effects
of such policy on the trade of our
city, and hereafter do little more to
encourage

KEROSENE LAMP EXPLOSION
half-past six o'clock last evening, large
glass lamp, filed with kerosene oil, and
hanging in the centre of the large show
window of the flour and feed store of
Mr.. p. S. I4inabury, No. 46 Scott Place,
exploded with considerable report,
and in q moment the costly window
shade and front part of the store were
developed in flames. The clerk, Il small
boy named Ogden. with wonderful pres
ence of mind, seized pail filed with
water, which he dashed on the flames,
speedily subduing them. Several neigh
bors having heard the report of the ex-
plosion, FASTENED to the spot, and assist
ed the Young hero in his gallant efforts.
The window sill and floor were cousid-
erably damaged by the fire, and five
panes Of window glass broken out by
the force OF the explosion. The fire.
men were promptly on the ground, but
the service Of the machines were not
brought into requisition.
Young Ogden during the progress Of
the fire, repealed the entrance of
crowd into the store, and thus prevent
ed a loss of goods and grain. A few
minutes before the explosion, he was
standing at the desk, directly under
the lamp, and fortunately for himself
was few feet distant at the time of the
unfortunate occurrence. Is there any
economy in using poor lamps and poor
er oil

10 tie President and Directors Of the
Central Railroad Of Ne1c Jersey.
We the undersigned, Commuters on

the new system of coupon commute
ton ; and would suggest, that the old
system of card Communication be contin-
ued, with the provision, that each com
muter be compelled to show said COM
mutation ticket, or card, each trip.
Said ticket to be kept in view of the
conductor every time he passes through
the train.
We would also earnestly suggest, las
a convenience, and to increase travel, J
that you issue tickets at reduced
price, to be sold in quantities of not
less than ten dollars &c. said tickets
to be good for any person, and at any
time. This system has been in use on
several of the Eastern roads for some
years with beneficial results.

Bss" The City Council has given no.
tice of its intention to "order and
cause Catharine street, from Elizabeth
avenue to Magnolia street, to be paved
with wooden pavement, and those who
have objections must make them known
in writing to the Street Commissioner,
within two weeks.
Unless u sewer is first constructed :,
and gas and water pipes laid, in this
street., we think the property owners
should enter their objections against
the proposition to pave. We are of
opinion that it would NECESSARILY make
a very rough street, to tear up this
pavement every few days, in order to
construct either sewer or lay gas or
water pipes and their connections. We
don't know that should we object If
this necessary work is completed before
the pavement is laid. Our city fathers
will do well to give this matter their
serious consideration.

MADRID Oct 1S.-'Ihe loss of life in the fight
ing which preceded the capture of Valencia was
. trifling. The troops had two killed and seven
wounded. The loss of the insurgents is un-
known. No taxpayer or householder OF Va
lenCa took part in the revolt. In many streets
where barricades were erected, or resistance was
offered to the advance of tho troops, the walls
are marked. The final attack would have been
made early in the week had the troops not been
obliged to wait for ammunition. The capture of
Valencia has had tranquilliZing effect all over
the country. Official reports state that only a
few remnants of dispersed bands are now roam
ing through the provinces.
LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The Times to-day has an
article on General Prim. The writer admits that
Prim is not man of transcendent genius, but
has a depth of GOODNESS and boundless ambition
He has an army in his hands, and intends to
keep it as long as Spain is without king. None
can wrest from Prim the sword, which is the
real sceptre of Spain. Prim sees this, and re-
solves that no king shall preside over Spain but
one of his own making, or under his influences
and above all, no Nontpensier, whom he has
always opposed 1t is not easy or hardly desi-
rable to break through the arrangement which
places in Prim's hands virtual sovereignty If
Prim is disposed to make good use of his vic
tory let him introduce, not improvident Gle
mency or inordinate liberty, but true order based

has long journey before she becomes well in

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-The Council of Ministers met

two sessions to-day. Drouyn de Lhuys has gone

d'Auvergne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose
continued illness prevents his attendance.
The Opposition Deputies to the Corps Legisla-
tiff held meeting to-day at which they drew up
and signed manifesto.
They declare that they will not go to the
Legislative Chamber on the 26th inst, as has
been proposed, because they do not wish to pro-
woke a demonstration and imperil returning
liberty. A pacific revolution, the result of which
is daily becoming clearer, having commenced
they must not become the instrument or furnish
pretext for disorder.
The opposition will await the meeting of the
Corps Legislatif on the day to which ii has been
postponed by the government, when they will
demand to know the reason for this new wrong,
and will steadily pursue the work Of urging the
democratic and radical demands of the country

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

The Local License Layys-,The Collection of
Debts.
A meeting of the Board of Trade was held last
evening, Frederick Fraley, Esq in the chair.
A preamble and resolutions in relation TO local
,,c.,.:" laws were presented by Mr. Wetherill, as
follOws:--
Whereas There exists in nearly all the States
of tie Union local license laws discriminating
bvainst nonresident traders aud agents, enacted
some of them by the State Legislatures in which
they operate, and some by merely municipal
CORPORATIONS, assuming the sovereign preroga-
tive of regulating trade and commerce In their
several localities, and whereas, whatever may be
the local reasons for msintsining such restrc-
tions in other places, the policy is, on a whole
and in national point of view, vicious and in
inrious, if not unconstitutional; and whereas,
fhe evil is too widespread and too firmly fixed TO
he reached by merely LEGAL efforts therefore,
ResoIced, That the National Board of Trade be
urgently solicited at its next meeting to con-
slider and examine the subject carefully, and ii
Dossibe to institute such proceedings as shall
eause a total and common abandonment oi
ali such restrictions throughout the country

zion of that body the importance OF uniformity
