MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

va The Messrs. Fairbanks, Of scale-build-
ing fame, furnish most striking example of
good fortune in connection with the Boston fire.
Their warehouse at 11s Milk street, corner of
Battery-march, was left untouched though
the fire burned clear up to them in that direc-
ton, and new store that they had leased on
Milk street, directly in the rear of the Old
South Church, and of which they are to take
possession January 1, is also left unscathed
the flames in that direction being checked next
door. Of course the fire will make great de-
mand for scales, and the lease of the new store
will be greatly increased in value from the fact
that the Post Office is going into the Old South
and, in fact, the Fairbanks seem to be de-
cidedly lucky all round But we can hardly
think of anybody that deserves good luck more

Democratic rulers In their anxiety TO see
an end to this iniquity, and If they are
sincere let them begin now to practice the

though we had u Democratic Legislature
which had Just come into power on these

millennium when everything anybody
wants in the way of legislative privilege
can be obtained under general laws.

have nothing to do but to make provision
for ways and means and adjourn till after

there will be work enough and cost
enough to satisfy all parties; and in view
of that certainty the expense Of the pres
