F1Rs.-The building containing the

F1Rs.--The building containing the
ticket offices of the Milwaukee Il st. Paul
and Chicago j. Northwestern Railways,
baggage and express rooms, situated at the
railway junction in this city, burned down
about o'clock last Sunday morning, to-
gether with all tie contents. The fire was
first discovered in the express room, and
the building being frame, it was soon en-
shrouded in flames and beyond all:hope of
saving. The Bay State House, located only
a short distance from the burning z building,
was for time placed in imminent peril.
Fortunately it had been raining nearly all
night, and but for this circumstance all
efforts to save the building would have been
futile The fire department was on :ths
ground and rendered essential assistance in
keeping the flames back. In the railroad
building a large amount cf express matter
for St. Paul and intermediate points was
destroyed but we learn that very little, if
any, baggage was burned. The Bay State
House sustained some damage on the slCe
exposed to the building consumed, nearly
all the glass being broken from the windows,
and the doors, castings and cornice getting
badly blistered from the heat. Mr.. Mathes,
however, considers himself fortunate in es-
Gaping with so little loss. We have not
heard how much the Railway and Express
Companies have been the losers The
ticket office was a very good building and
well adapted to the wants OF the respective
companies. AS to the origin of the fire
everything is mystery. 1t is reported that
the fire was caused by the explosion of some
proof there is for this suppositio We have
not learned.

POCKET DICTIONARY. - Webster's

POCKET DICTIONARY. - Webster's
Pocket Dictionary, in its present shape, is
q great improvement over all previous
editions and all similar works. In the first
place it is neatly printed, and bound in mo-
rocco with gilt edges. Then it contains
200 pictorial illustrations, which gives a
much clearer idea of the meaning of many
words than could possibly be conveyed by
the usual definition. The little volume,
while being no larger than an ordinary
pocket-book, embraces in its vocabulary a
careful selection ofover $4,000 of the most
important words Of the Ian guage, with def
nitions sufficiently clear, though necessarily
brief, to meet the ordinary wants of any
one requiring its use Prefxed to the work
are tables of money, weight and N :asure,
authorizations, words and phrases from for
eign languages, rules for spelling, explana-
tions, ETC. 1t is in fact most valuable little
book, and is double worth the dollar it costs.
1t is very beautifully and substantially
bound, with tucks and gilt edges. The
Publishers, Invson, Brakeman, Taylor, &
Co., 1873 and 14O Grand Street, New York,
will forward it by mail on receipt Of One

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET-The

the 9th ult:
Senator w, s. Greene.

ly long list Of ''chef mourners," which we

A solitary Liberal Eepubli lean, Mr.. A.

for Coroner. Call you this ''backi Dg your
friends," or fair division of the spoIs.?
This is the dainty dish laid before the
voters of Jefferson County by the democra-
cy 1t is considerable on the "boiled crow
order, and queerly devised ticket, to say
the least. Talk about Capitalization of
power! Here we have most pertinent
example of the principle. With tbs ex-
ception of the candidate for Senator every
man on the ticket is a resident of either
Watertown or Jefferson. Watertown, JEFF
ferson and Milford, then, seemed to be the
only portions of the county worthy Of con-
sideration at the hands of the convention.
But what are the voters of Jefferson county
"going to do about it" is the question. We
shall see.

The STATE FAIR.--The State Fair
at Milwaukee closed on Friday last The
unpleasant condition of the weather during
most of the time had bad effect on the
success of the exhibition. The unpropiti-
Gus weather discouraged many from placing
articles on exhibition, and the display was
not as complete as in former years. A fine
show of stock was made of all kinds, and
an novelty in this line was several f1ocks Of
goats, which were exhibited. These ami
mails are getting into use in several portions
of the state, and are priced chiefly for
being fine mixers. The attendance the
last two days was quite good, and sufficient
to pay all the expenses of the fair, SO that
the society will at least be even financially.
Thursday addresses were delivered by Gov.
Washburn, President Twombly, of the State
University, and Hon. G. B. Smith, all of
which are said to have been interesting.

WatertOWn Dairy Market.

The attendance on Wednesday of factory
men was of the usual number Buyers were
present from Chicago, but up to the close Of
the Board we learned of no sales whatever
The offerings were ample, but the statesmen
demanded 13 cts, while the buyers offered
but l21. We think that some Of the July
Cheese which was offered, could have been
prof tably disposed of. It is at least doubtful
policy to keep July cheese on hand for fall
sales. The fault found by the buyers was
that ii was of too decided flavor and there is
not much prospect that it will improve
in this respect. Experience is constantly
proving that the wisest course is to sell our
cheese when cured, especially that made
from May to the 18th of August.
