A PR4c1IoAL TEsT-The Dayton
JouraoI in describing the FIRE in that
city the other day, whereby a mother
and five children were smothercd to
death, says;
Few persons who saw these build
ings so completely at the mercy, of
the fire had any idea that they could
be saved from destruction. But
they did not fully realize the
thorough protection the Holly sys-
tenn affords. In less than ten min
utes after the water was sent kissing
from the pipes, the flames were un-
der subsection; in half an hour the
flames were extipguished; and short
ly afterwards the smouldering tim
bers were drenchcd Of every particle
OF fire. SO rapid and thorough was
the work, that the front Of the bull
ding gives little indication Of the
terrible work of the early morn.
The roof and rear of the house are
in ruins"

Peace.

The editors ofthe Crawford CoUa-
IN Forum and the Bucyrus Journal
have mutually agreed to use no per-
sonalities concerning each other in
the future, to bury the hatchet of
war and smoke the pipe of peace.
The honor of making the first pro
positions for peace belongs to our
cotemporary. The treaty is we'll
defined, mutual and honorable to
both parties. We shall be the last
to break it.
Let 1t be understood, at home and
abroad, that this Peace is not born
OF tear or any other unworthy mo-
tive; but that it is, as we trust. the
offspring Of those high and ennob-
ling sentiments which exalt +rue
journalism above every other seen
lar profession. BUcyy'us Forum.
We are glad to see that our neigh,
bors, in Crawford county, have de-
termined to cease their personal at
tacks, and maintain respectful de-
corum toward each other. We nev-
er could see any reason why two
eS;tors should conduct their business
n s manner so different from other
business nlen, in that respect. Abuse
is not argumept, nor will villifcatiOn
increase the respect in which either
are held, while it seriously impairs
their influence in community.
