The Chicago fire seems to have estab
lished the fact that fire-proof buildings are
an impossibility. The Rock Island depot
the great Union depot, the Pacific Hotel,
and many other of the great buildings Oh
Chicago, were ofthe fre-proof kind Inc
custom-house was all stone and iron, ex-
cept the doors and window-sasheS' ihese
and others burned up like tinder-boxes un-
der the feryent heat of the awful confia-
grafton. The Tribune building was claimed
to he the nearest to absolute fire-proof of
any structure in the world 1t stood out
. oainst the heat and flames for seven hours,
and then succumbed. If these buildings
of iron and stone burn down, what struc-
lures can be fire-proof?

While n Mar.nfeid attended the annual

While In Marshfeld attended the annual
Town Fair. This was well attended and the
display of fruits, farm crops, stock and speci-
mems of household manufacture and the me-
chanic arts, was very creditable indeed.
Marshfield in richness of soil is doubtless SUI
perior to any other town in Plymouth county,
and the marshes furnish great amount of
hay enabling the farmer, by keeping stock, to
keep his upland in higher state of pro-
ductiveness.
Daniel Webster during his lifetime, both
by precept and example, taught his neighbor
farmers the Importance Of correct farming,
and though he is "dead he yet speaketh," and,
his memory is dearly cherished by all his old
neighbors.
story related to me by one of his near
neighbors, illustrating his looseness in finan-
cial matters, do not remember to have seen
in print. The baker which daily supplied his
family with the staff of life, had bill against
him for nearly a hundred dollars, which, after
trying long time to collect, he finally left
with lawyer and had it sued. Of course the
bill was Immediately paid and after that the
baker kept away from Mr.. Webster. Meet
ing him on the road one day, the Senator
asked him why he did not supply him with
bread as usual. The baker reminded him of
his delinquency in the former bill, allowing
tito run until he was forced to sue him.
"Well," said Mr.. Webster, s'bring on your
bread; we must have it, and when you get
tired of waiting sue it, you will be sure to
get your pay then" INDEX.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD BAY STATE
MARsHFIELp, Der, 1871.

To the Editor of the Journal: aa fsf
From an intelligent old gentleman who had
charge Of the cemetery at Plymouth,
learned that the town had increased but little
in population for the last fifty years. There
are about fifty fishing vessels, great and
small, owned here, which during the fishing
season, give employment to large number
Of the inhabitants. There is an iron foundry
here, and formerly large business was car
ried on in the manufacture of anchors, though
l believe there are none made here now
There are other iron works here, and tacks
and brads are manufactured on an extensive
scale.
A beautiful stream of water runs through
the town, called clown brook" This stream
is the property of the municipality, but has
Just been leased to a manufacturing company
for second term Of fifty years. 1t is ted by
numerous ponds, the largest Of which is cal
led "Bilington Sea-" SO named from Billing
ton, one Of the pilgrims, who when he dis
covered it, supposed it to be sea. 1t is a
peautiui sheet of water and is great resort
ior hshing and duck hunting
Inc site OF the first church in Plymouth is
now occupied by the Unitarian church. a
nne structure with four turrets, which was
built over and enlarged about fifty years ago.
The various religious sects are well repre-
scented here. There are Congregationalist,
Universalist, Baptist, and Free Baptist.
Methodist, Episcopalean, Second Advent.
and Spiritualist Societies in addition to the
Unitarian above named. The courthouse.
which is the conservatory of all the old rec
ords of Plymouth colony and county, is fine
structure, built Of brown-stone in the Nor
mon style Of architecture. The grounds
around it are spacious, tastefully laid out and
a model Of neatness. The Samoset House
is called the best hotel in town and if this be
so, they are very much in want of good
hotel here.

The New York Tribune objects to Mr..
CREswELL, Postmaster General, "runuins
conventions" That gentleman manipu-
lated the Republican Convention held the
present week in Baltimore, and that Con-
yention declared in favor of GRANT for
President. Mems eyes are opened nova
days in singular ways. We do not remem-
Der that the Tribune has tor some years
complained of the meddlins Of office hold
ers with primary meetings. Mr.. GREELEY
being an aspirant, begius to See The impro-
priety of this sort of thing. 1t is gross
departure from proprcty and an outrage
upon the spirit OF republican government
for high officials to interfere with the pro-
ceedings of the constituent body. These
officials are always under trial. The peo-
pie are their judges. Those judges should
be left to decide the question US to the Gu
pab.lity and fidelity OF the public servants
without any interfere nee or tampering with
them on the part Of those servants.
Aspirants in opposition to the men in
office see how improper this Is. But the
country has become So used to the objec-
tionable means resorted to by those who
WELD the patronage of the Government
to hold on to their places that very little
notice IL taken of them.

CAUSES OF THE REVERE RAILROAD DIS
ASTER IN MASsAcHUSETrS.-BO Sept.
13.-The Massachusetts Board of Railroad
Commissioners have issued Il circular, in
which they maintain that the cause of tue
recsnt disaster at Revere was wholly unne-
cesSary, inasmuch as the attempt of the
company to operate single track and
branch road without the aid Of the tele-
graph led immediately to the collision,
which might have been avoided by the ap-
plication Of this oldest aud most ordinary
and least expensive Of appliances in opera
thug railroads.
The second fact was that the colliding
train discovered The train ahead OF it in
ample time to have prevented the disaster
had the train been equipped with breaks
operated simultaneously from the locomo-
tive, instead of the hand-break.
Third IL further appeared in evidence,
and was in no way controverted by the
company, that stations upon this part of
their road were but short distances apart,
and every facility, So far as employees, &C.,
were concerned, existed for very perfect
system of signals indicating the proximity
OF trains. No such appliances were, how
ever, in use, nor indeed had their adoption
ever been considered.
