city. The origin Of the fire is unknown.

eai ...H @ :. REMARKS. IL q
The offarings Of grain on Change to-day were
light, which Was owing partly 20 its being holiday
season and partly to the extreme severity OF the
weather. Nearly everything offered was sold
oats being espscislyin d. mand and at firm figures.
The recent disastrous conaagration at the Spots
wood was topic Of earnest conversation on
'Change, and various suggestions were expressed
as to the best mode OF providing In future against
loss Of life in large establishm ents of the kind.
Little did we think, when referring In our re-
marks Of Satur day last on DEATHS doings among
the members or the Corn Exchange during the
year Just closing, that ere four and twenty
hours should elapse another name would be added
to the roll OF departed members but so 1t Is for
Mr. Ross, whose unhappy fate is so deeply de-
plored by the community, was . member Of the
association during the term Of bis connection with
MIR. Peasants In the commission business and it
is but simple justice to his memory to say that he
had won the esteem and warmest regards Of every
one Of its members.
Among some OF the expressions to which we
hear utterance given in connection with the con-
dagration, Is this: g Ki; hmond is doomed city,,
This kind OF talk, Coming from men called linen
OF sense" astonishes US. 1t Is worse than super
'tition, and the people who give utterance to 1t
are unconsciously doing harm, for 1t operates on
weak minds. Doomed by whom ny Pro 7idence?
70 say 30 is sheer folly for the assertion has no
foundation in common sense or any true idea Of
The Creator. CONGREGATIONS. foods, explosions,
and other such incidents, occur all over the
world, and 1t would be the greatest absurdity to
'ay that because OF their frequent occurrence IN
my one place that place is tdooued.n
