Messrs. Geo, L. Squier g. Bro:
We purchased from your agent, B. j. West,
last fall, one of your Mammoth" Cane Mills
Judging from its immense weight and
strength we could but expect extraordinary
results from it, but refrained from expressing
any positive opinion until now that our crop
is successfully worked off, during which time
we have not had the least trouble whatever
with it in any particular, and have NO improve
ments to suggest. I'VE regard 1t as absolutely
perfect.
Our place is Immediately opposite the Car
rolIton Depot, on the west side of the river,
and we shall at all times take pleasure in
showing and explaining its peculiar merits to
all interested. As to its capacity, we regard
it perfectly safe for from eight to ten hogs
heads of sugar in twenty-four hours, and the
ease with which it does its work is marcel
to all seho haze ,rstaessed its operation.

two hogsheads, that being the limit of my

ahead, whether the cane be dry or juicy,
without extra strain upon the team or the

regard its self-adjustabiity, by means of the

it as pre-emimentty the mill for small sugar

The incorporated Village of McCon-

ordinance declaring it to be unlawful
for any person to keep within said vii
lage a house, shop, room, booth, arbor,
cellar or place, where ale, porter or
beer is habituaily sold, or furnished to
be drank, in, upon or about the house,

where so sold or furnished. Held: 1.
That the municipal corporation of this
State were, at the date of this ordinance
and prior thereto, expressly empower
ed to pass such aprohibitory ordinance;
and such ordinance is not therefore in
valid, as being in the conflict with the
statutes of the State or unauthorized
2. 1t is no ground of objections to the
validity of such municipal ordinances,
when clearly authorized, that State leg.

Burning Of the Western Female

College. a-i,--.. i
The Western Female College, at Ok
ford, Ohio, took fire last Saturday in
the bakery, about one O'Clock, and with
the exception of the walls, which yet
stand, was completely destroyed, =
ALI the young ladies are accounted
for, bat one girl, partially deaf, who is
missing. IL is hoped she may yet be
found safe, though up to last accounts
there are no tidings of her.
Four or five students, who escaped
from the second and third story WIN
dows. were somewhat injured, but
none seriously, save one, who it is
feared is dangerously hurt. some had
the presence of mind to tie sheets To-
gether, and let themselves down from
the windows: Others jumped form the
second story
Some property in the lower part OF
the building WAS saved. Many young
ladies lost all the personal effects in
their rooms.
There is about sixty thousand dollars
insurance on the building, though not
covering the loss.
The destruction of the edificeis pub
lie calamity, as it was one of the prom
inent female educational INSTITUTIONS
in the West.
A special dispatch to the Times, from
Oxford, says: "No lives were were lost
by the burning of the Western Female,
College. Three young ladies, named
Goodfellow, Ballard, and Wilson, were
severely hurt by jumping from the see
ond story windows. The building is
insured for $75, 600, which will rebuild
One hundred and seventy-five inmates
were in the building ut the time of the
catastrophe. During the early morn
ling hours the village presented sor
rowful spectacle. Some of the young
girls had lost nearly everything in the
Shape of personal clothing while other'
were wandering about with q scanty
