Change of a business Firm.

In another column can be found the
card announcing the dissolution of the
old-establshed firm of G. h. Blood q
Co., wholesale and retail dealers in oils,
lamps, stoves, iron and tin ware, etc,
No. 334 Main street, near the corner of
Union. The new firm bears the title of
E. URoUHART 4 CO.,
and is composed of Messrs. Il. Urqu.
hart j. p, ApFtqgh and f. G. Turn
bpll. These gentlemen are well-known
in connection with the house Of Blood
& Co., Mr.. Urquhart having been a
member of the old firm, and Messrs,
Murtagh and Turnbull statesmen in the
house since the close OF the late war
between the States. Mr.. Blood retires
from business and proposes making an
extended tour through Europe. The
members Of the new firm possess bust
ness qualifications Of high order,
which qualifications are recognized by
the business people of our city. With
thorough knowledge Of trade it is an
established fact that the business of the
new house will be carried on in as sue
cessful a manner as the old, and the
same results aehieved-prosperity and
success. It ia needless to say that the
firm Of E. Urquhart & CO. viii receive a
liberal patronage from the public.

MAKE WAY FOR THE BRUTE.

One of our exchanges, the Cincinnati
Enquirer, has this statement. No won
der the blood of Irishmen is kept at
fever heat from generation to genera
ton: The population of England and
Wales. by the census just taken, is 49,
900, 600. Scotland, we presume, has in
the neighborhOod Of 100000 The
total population Of the United Kingdom
viii not vary much from $4,000 900.
This is 5000 600 less than the pOpula-
ton Of the United States. One Of the
peculiarities Of this census is that Ire
land has lost 100000 since 1861. Thirty
years ago, in 1871, there were nearly
1000. 600 people in Ireland. So vast a
falling of in that period Of time is I'M
paralleled in the history Of nations.
The emigration to this country, which
had been comparatively small before
then. set in with an immense food, and
there haye been few years since when
not less than a quarter of million OF
Irishmen have expatrieted themselves
from the land Of their birth. 1t is one
Of the curiosities Of modern civilization
that in large districts Of Ireland the
gentry Of the soil have removed their
tenants in order 10 make room for sheep.

NEw YoRK, July IA rumor prevailed
extensively throughout the city yesterday
that the Roman Catholic secret societies
we're organizing, arming and drilling
bodies Of men, preparatory to having
fight with the Orange societies, who hold
their grand annual picnic on July iZth..
For some time past advertisements have
appeared calling for meetings OF certain
Hibernian societies, setting forth that
volunteers would be received for mill
tary picnic to be held early in July.
The authorities are preparing to sup
press any attempt at a repetition of the
bloody affair which occurred last July.
II is the intention of the authorities to
exercise their power to the fullest ex-
tent, and will probably take possession
of the armories fag the time being of all
the military organizations in the city.
1t is stated that the expenditures con-
nected with the great S@ngcrfest just
closed exceeded their receipts by $4,000.

vice has been invented which will pre-
vent the use of stamps to q greater or

THE WAR In coREA.

II is not generally known that the
United States are at war with a country
living on the east coast of Asia and
northeast of China. Such is the fact,
however. The cause Of the war is the
capture of an American ship by the
Coreans and the horrible treatment OF
its crew. They we're cruelty tortured
by the natives, some Of them being
hauled round the country in cages for
show. Our Government demanded re-
dress. but no attention was paid to the
demand. 1t is understood that the
cantives have been either murdered or
detained as slaves. An expedition COM
manded by Admiral Rodgers has at
tackled some of the Corean forts and
captured them, after desperate lighting.
Corea is said to contain an area OF
about 10000 square miles; population
from 100000 to 100000. 1t COM
prises peninsula 400 miles long and
$50 broad, the island adjacent and
part of the neighboring continent. The
archipelago of Corea is a group of small
islands in the Yellow Sea, on the west
coast of the peninsula of Corea. The
NAVIGATION in corean waters is both diff
cult and dangerous. and comparatively
little is known of the channels. The
government is despotic, and though tri-
butary to China and Japan, the freedom
of its action is uncontrolled. The army
Of Corea is estimated at 100000 men,
and the navy has 300 vessel (war junks),
carrying from ten to twenty guns each,
old twenty and thirty Founders.
