Public Order.

The city and the surrounding
country are filled with mischievoul
and exciting rumors of outrage and
lawiessness, These rumors In almosI
every instance are false and unbound

authorities are united In their assur,

further assure us that the reports o
attempted incendiarism, sliootinxs
hangiDgs, etc., are. on careful inves
tigation, found to be utterly anc
wickedly false. No ease of actual
attempt at incendiarism since the
fire, or of shooting or hanging has YET
occurred, to the knowledge of the
authorities, who feel encouraged by
the general disposition of the com.
munity to preserve order and coop.

The Grain supply.

The excitement in eastern grain
circles has been sufficient to advance
the price Of wheat some Ave cents
per bushel. IL was feared the greater
part OF our stock was DESTROYED. and
thai business In this city was too
mnch paralyzed by the shock To adj
init OF our produce merchants taking
any further part In the forwarding oil
grain this autumn. Hence, q very
light supply on the seaboard was
feared, and some of tho eastern pa
pers actually dug up the old cry oil

sibilities among the experiences ol
| coming winter.
The utter groundlessness of these
fears Is evident when we look at the
facts in the Case. The grain destroy.
ed foots up q total Of but q little more
than 800. 0OO bushels, of all kinds,
OF which a considerable proportion
will doubtless be rescued from the

fact that SO much property has beef,

by moving 1t on. In the general

Rebuilding.

The common council has decided
to rebuild the city hall on the courI

OF supervisors will take similar meas.

at first erected on the grounds.
The Chamber Of Commerce will be
rebuilt ut once, and the board of trade

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEANs.-Bul-
wer says poverty is only an idea in nine
cases out of ten. Some men with sl0,0
year suffer more for want of means than
others with $500. The reason is, the richer
man has artificial wants. His income is
slO, 900 year, aud he suffers enough by be-
ing dunncd for unpaid debts to Kill SEN
sitve man. a man who earns dollar
dav and does not 90 in debit is the happiest
of the two. Very few people who have
never been rich will believe this; but it is
true. There are thousands and thousands
with princely incomes who never know a
minutes peace, because they live beyond
their means. There is really more happi-
ness among the workingmen in the world
than among those who are called rich.
