Fire.
A FoRrUNATE ESCAPE AND A WARNING.

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE AND MAkAlN6-
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
small wooden frame building or shed,
about 18x2O feet in size, belonging 70
and some twenty-five feet in the rear Of
the premises of Samuel p. Curtis, No
Grove street, was destroyed by fire. The
building had been removed within few
DAYS and. at the time of the fire, one or
more carpenters were, as we understand,
at work in the lower or shed part Of tie
building. Directly east and only fifteen
feet distant. were the premises Of James
c. Dunn. No. 3 Cottage street. Prompt
action and the speedy arrival Of Engine
Company No. 2, in few minutes,
placed Mr.. Dunn's house and adjoining
buildings, as well as Mr.. Curtis house,
in safety. and almost instantaneoUsly
.ssouelched" the fire. The Steamer and
Hook and Ladder Company were also
prompt to respond to the alarm and &C
tive in the discharge Of their duties. Too
much credit cannot be given 10 these hre
companies for the alacrity Of their re-
Spouse TO the call and the dispatch with
which they arrived at the scene Of the
fire. for it must be remembered that, IN
addition to the excessive heat Of the day.
Merchants Row being blocked up with
moving building, they were compelled
to traverse some three times the ordi-
nary distance in order to- reach the point
of danger.
The fire is supposed TO have been set
by a son of Mr.. Curtis, lad some four
or five years of age, in spirit Of mis-
chief and to see a bonfire. We are IL
formed that he has. within few days,
applied lighted matches TO combustibls
material in the outer air, for a similar
purpose.
For a fortunate escape from disas-
trous conflagration. our thanks are due
to Him who ruleth the elements that
there was no wind 10 the promptncss
and efficiency of our firemen and the
perfection of their apparatus, and lastly
to the fact that the fire occurred In the
day time.
This fire carries with il, also, q warn
ing, not only to parents, but TO all who
have the care OF the young. See 10 it
that they are trained Alright Allowing
a child to play with fire or matches has,
before this, proved a dangerous amUse-
ment. We are among those who believe
that a child can be restrained in tie first
mischievous 1--WE use the word in its
broadest sense act, without resort 10
harsh measures. Rutland has suffered
enough from fire to teach her citizens 10
beware of carelessness, and the lesson
ought. by this time, certainly, TO be So
deeply impressed on our minds. that we
would almost instinctively keep the fire
brand out Of the reach Of irresponsible
children. If this shah prove To have
been the result Of the burning of this
small building, then the trifling loss viii
have become great gain indeed.

How SEWARD ExTNGUIsHED TooMBs.
Mr.. Seward had made a speech
something about the disqualification
Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, rose to reply,
and made speech full of personal abuse
of Seward. He wrought himself up
into a rage and dashed about in the most
aggressive manner. He finished and
took his seat. As Mr.. Seward rose frem
his chair every eye was bent upon him
with the greatest anxiety. With calm,
measured step he walked toward Mr..
Toombs. 1t was noticed that his right
hand was underneath the rear pocket of
his coat. There was apprehension that
he was concealing a pistol, and Mr..
Toombs' friends crowded around him.
When Seward reached him he drew out
his hand, and opening his snuff-box pol
itely invited his adversary to take a
pinch of snuff. s'My .God!n said Mr..
Toembs, s'Mr. Seward, have YOU no

cents.
At Little Falls, the offerings of pri-
vate diaries were double those of last

dullness in the market was caused by
the strike of the brakemen on the New
York Central railroad, buyers being
fearful of the destruction of shipments.

were 5,784 boxes. As the supply increas-
es, the market grows weaker, though the

The Producers Price Current says :
'The condition of the cheese arriving
has rendered strong holding next to i'm
possible. AT the close there are perhaps
10, 600 cheese to go over, which holders
would very much prefer to have sold.
This makes the feeling weak, and there
are many who prophecy 139 cents the
top rate for next week"

poned to Tuesday, July 9th The con-

Cotton Prospects.

There is still considerable misgiving in
England respecting the future of cotton,
says the United States Economist and Drv
Goods Reporter of recent date. Although
Manchester is very busy, and there is no
abatement of activity in the manufacturing
districts, yet the business is not o. paying
kind. The margin between the price of
the raw material and the manufactured ar
ticle is too small to admit of profit, and
this margin is still further reduced by an in
crease in the price of coal, iron and all the
other materials used in manufacturing. The
obvious remedies for this condition Of affairs
either can not or will not be adopted by spin
ners. One is to increase the prices of finished
goods, and the other is to limit production.
The advance in price would, no doubt,
compel diminution of production, but
this step is prevented by the pressure of
com EDITION. Cotton manufacturing to be
profitable must be maintained UP to the fun
capacity of the mill, and a curtailment of
operations involves as great, if not greater,

mR. GREELEY's ACCEPTANCE.

The speech of Mr.. Greeley in response
TO that Of the President Of the Democratic
National Convention, formally notifying
him Of his nomination by that body, is
somewhat different as printed in the New
York Tribune from that sent by telegraph,
We therefore reproduce the speech from
the Tribune:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Committee of the Convention: l shall re-
quire time TO consider how to reply titly to
the very important and / need not say graf
flying communication that you have pre-
scented to me. 1t may be that l should pre-
sent some reply in writing. However, as l
addressed the Liberal Convention Of Gin
cinnati in a letter somewhat widely consid-
erei, it is, perhaps, unnecessary that l
should say more than that l accept your
nomination, and accept gratefully with il
the spirit in which it has been presented.
My position is one which many would
consider proud one; which at the same
time is embarrassing, because it subjects
me TO temporary trust only temporary
-misconstruction on the part of some
valued and lifelong friends. feel assured
that time only is necessary to vindicate not
only the disiHterestedness, but the patriot
ism Of the course which | determined TO
pursue; which l had determind long before
it had received so much sympathy and
support as has so Unexpectedly to me been
bestowed upon it.
l feel that in time, in the good prOvi-
dence Of God, an opportunity will be al
fOrded me TO show that while you in making
this nomination are not less Democratic
but rather more Democratic Applause
than you would have been in taking an
opposite course, L am no less thoroughly
and earnestly Republican than ever l was.
But these matters require grave consid-
Grafton before | should make anything that
seems formal response. l am not much
accustomed 10 receiving nominations for the
Presidency [lAughterl, and cannot make re-
sponses SO flGently as some others might
do. Laughter and applause
l can only say that hope some, or all, if
you can make it convenient, viii come, to-
morrow, to my humble farmer home, not
far distant III the country, where shall be
glad to meet all Of you, and where we can
converse more freely and deliberately than
we can here, and where | shall be glad to
make you welcome towel, 10 the best
the farm affords. More laughter.l hope
that many of you-all Of you, will be able
10 accept this invitation, and L now simply
thank you and say farewell.
