REMARKS.
The offerings Of grain OF all kinds on 'Change
to-day were light. AS usual, wheat was In active
demand, but there was no advance In price. Corn
dnll, and one very inqusitlve member on fChauge
interpreted PIT. for mixed as meaning "prices
tumbling,'fof which, however, We know nothing.
Oats unchanged, prime samples still commanding
&c., and good New Brunswick soc. 50
I'VE stated yesterday that some people could not
remember what were the hours Of business on
Change, and we gave them again. one member,
however, said that we gave the hours wrong In the
D'Spdtch; whereupon we showed him the paper,
and his reply was, .Oh, well, my copy of the pa
per says otherwise''-a kind of escape from a
dilemma as wonderful to US as that aderful fer
ttlizer which, by the way, some of the members
are anxious to see exhibited on Change, for rea-
sons best known to themselves.

clergyman gave out the hymn,
which was an odd measure,
rather harder than usual, and
the Deacon lead off. Upon its
conclusion, the minister said:
"Brother B. will please re-

pray alter such singing!"
The Deacon very composed
ly pitched into another tune,
and the clergyman proceeded
with his prayer. Having fin
lshed, he took up the book to
give the second hymn, when
he was interrupted by the
Deacon gravely getting up and
in a voice audible to the whole
congregation, saying:

prayer as that"

Terrible Locomotive Boiler
Explosion


motive boiler on the mail train
for Hamden exploded with ter.
rife shock, startling the whole
city. The trains time for start.
ing is 9:2O, and the explosion
took place while the firemep
were coaling. The engine had
just been run out of the round
house, and stood on the track
nearly opposite the railroad
Office, in the rear Of the ex-
press car, an empty coal car in
tervening.
George Volker, standing on
a coal car opposite the tender,
was throwing coal upon the
tender. He was blown fifty
feet into the air, and fell into

Adam Shilling, fireman, was
on the tender, with his back to
the engine, breaking up coal.
He was killed instantly and
found lying between the tender
and coal car. The top of his
head was blown off, and the
coal car splattered with his
blood and brains. The unfor-
tunate man leaves a wife and
three or four children. The
family resides on Fifth street,
opposite DR.. Jones' residence.
Adam Wamsler, engaged in
shoveling coal upon the tender,

doors above Bond.
Henry Burt, fireman, some

coal car, loading the tender,
but happened to be stopping

the fragments of the wreck
passed over him.
The front of the boiler was
blown over an empty coal car
and buried in the rear end of
the express car. Fragments

Judge Barrett has proved
himself equal to the emergency
IN ruling over this remarkable
case, perhaps the most remark
able of modern times. The
amount of money spent to
procure testimony, aud the
amount of talent engaged on
both sides, besides the circum.
stances in connection with the
mysteries, all go to make it
more remarkable than any that
has occurred in this, or any

fair and impartial trial. Those

The example set by the Mercantile Library people of San Francisco, has been, or Is about to be, followed by the managers of like in- stitutions everywhere, with, we hope, like results; for, laying aside all question abou, the morality of the scheme. or schemes, res. ulss have been beneficial to the general pub. lie, because of having freed valuable and pop ular library institutions from debt. This being the case we urge our readers to peruse the advertisement published elsewhere in this issue, offering gifts to the purchasers Of tick cts for concert to be given st Louisville
 Tuesday, October 31st, 1871. The proceeds Of this enterprise, after deductinc expenses. are to bo applied to the founding of free public library, at Louisville, Ky. The char acter and standing of the trustees, etc. are sarsties againste even the thought ofswindling, and the close connection with the enterprise of Charles R.

Advertise !!

Saturday last, D. Henderson 6 Bro. put small advertisement in the MINER, telling the public that they had just opened fine stock of cutlery since then, the rush 10 their store, for pocketknives, etc, has been unprecedent- ed--which goes to show that the people read the advertisements in the MINER, and act accordingly.
 Our circulation is now over 500 copies, a fact which settles the point that this is the best paper in the Territory to advertise in and, as our charges are moderate, we can't see why some business men will continue to grope their way through the world without the light shed by printers ink and paper. As general thing. the merchants of Prescott have been quite liberal toward us, and the public, in this respect, but many of them al low one advertisement to run too long with out changing it, or without re enforcing it with short, telling "squibs," if you please This is changeable world, and people look into newspaper to see something new, or, if not that, an attempt at something new. The business men of PhGnix, Hooper, Whiting < Co, of Arizona City, Goldwater S Bro, of Ehrenberg; Barnett < Block and A. II. Pee pies of Wickenburg, besides those of Brad shaw City, know the value of advertising, and avail themselves of it. Why not, then, Messrs. Go-Slows, advertise, and thereby help yourselves, the Territory, and tbc MINER, whose principal aim is 10 help all. Let tout side barbarians know that we have wagon and blacksmith shops, butcher shops, carpen- ter shops, saloons, &c., here in Prescott, and .he knowledge thus gained will rebound to our benefit Again, this being the only pa per in the Territory that has a respectable circulation st home and abroad, would it not be good policy for the business men of Tue son to avail themselves ot its columns
