VALUE OF BUILDINGS.
The value OF the buildings burned is about
925, 1000, owned partially by non-residents, and
were largely uninsured. One poor family from
Germany, who had just arrived the afternoon
before, lost everything. hlr. Mason, plumber
and gas-ftter who escaped from Chicago, Oct,
9, 1871, without coat to his back, Was heavy
loser.
Boardera in the burned buildings we're unable
many OF them to save their clothes.
M1B. Dickinson, a widow, and DR.. Green, lost
considerable by the removal OF their household
effects.
Mr.. Kaufman had just returned from the
East, where he had purchased q large stock Of
dry goods for his new store, into which he Was
to move Saturday, and lost very heavily,

A town Of 5000 Inhabitants and no fire
engine, is hard to find anywhere; but who
would look for it within eleven miles Of Chi
cago?
FIRE AT WILMETTE.
A large barn owned by Mr. McDaniels, at
Wilmette, four miles north Of Evanston. WAS
burned on Monday, and twenty-five toms Of hay
stacked near it. Spontaneous combustion 10

ing.
The Police Commissioners we're yesterday hon
ored by visit from the Committee of clergymen
and laymen appointed to lay resolutions before
the Mayor, and invited to talk On the Sunday
liquor law question. Among those present were
the Rev. Messrs. Fowler and Kittredge, and Mr.
Kelly, Manager OF the Temperance Bureau.
These gentlemen took seats, and inquired
whether the Board would enforce the law. The
Board, in the person Of Mr. Talcott, said they
certainly meant business. The Committee
wanted to know. if they would not
arrest & number of saloon-keepers on
Sunday, thrust them vehemently into Jail,
keep them there until Monday morning, and then
fine them heavily. Mr. Talcott said he did not
think the Board had any such Intention at pres
ent. He, for his part was unwilling to show
any yindictiyeness. He did not want repeti-
at the matter differently. Any way: the Board
we're not going to plunge into it With their shirts
of, but we're going to do things calmly, delber-
ately, systematically, and, as ne hoped, wisely
the laws. even though they might not think
them models Of Legislative wisdom. The Board
were in favor OF q regulative law that would re-
strict and restrain saloon keepers not array
them and their patrons in bitter opposition
to the authorities.
One Of the Committee stated that, on Sunday,
be had absolutely violated his pledge not to so
into tippEns-house, by looking into the North
Side saloons.
The Commissioners thought that his conduct
Was praiBeworthy.
After the Committee left, which they did after
discussing the matter at some length, Mesara.
Talcott and klokke fell foul Of one another on
the subject and debated it warmly, until an out
slider would have been puzzled to know what the
Board did want.
Commissioner Sheridan wanted q law similar
to that in force in England and Germany, requir-
ing saloons to be closed, during the six summer
months, at II o'clock at night, and in the winter
at 10 o'clock, allowing the proprietors to keep
them open on Sunday from o'clock in the after
noon until 8 o'clock at night.
It is expected that the Superintendent Of Po-
lice will issue orders to close the saloons next
Sunday. The reasons given for his not having
done SO are that nothing WAS ready no orders
made out, and that the whole movement was i'm
mature. These conditions no longer existing,
it is believed by the Board that the order will be
given.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
The adjourned meeting, Of which notice was
in the Old Board or Trade rooms. to further con-
s;der the causes Of crime, will be held in Cen
tenary Church, On Monroe street, between Nor
gan and Aberdeen streets, on Thursday evening.
at 716 o'clock. Let all lovers of law and order
be present, and take such action Us will secure
the enforcement Of the laws and prevent crime.

The Science of Advertising.

Judieious advertising always pays
If you have good thing advertise
it. If you haven't don't
Large type isn't necessary in adver-
tising. Blind folks don't read news
papers.
Don't be afraid to invest in printer 5
ink, lest your sands of life be nearly
run out
Never run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him do his own
advertising.
Let your advertisements have some
thing of the dash in them, without
great exaggeration.
You can't eat enough in one week to
last you whole year, aud you can't
advertise on that plan either.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
can't remember anything longer than
about seven days.
If you can arouse curiosity by an ad
vertisement, it is great point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
A constant dropping will wear
rock. Keep dropping your advertise
ments on the public and they Will soon
melt under it like rock salt.
Quitting advertising in dull times is
ike tearing out a dam because the
water is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from ever coming.
Dull times, it is said, "are the best
for advertisers" Because when money
is tight, and the people are forced to
economic, they always read the adver-
tisements to see who sells the cheapest,
and where they can trade to the best
advantage.

that we shall have to pay for foreign

annual importation of breadstuffs is
equal to about seventy million bushels
of grain. If a partial failure of the
potato crop, and short grain crops COM
pei the disbursement of seventy we

fail to effect injuriously the mauufac-

THE LEvEE Picnic NEXT SATUR-
Daq.-The public must remember the
Railroad and Levee picnic. next Sat
urday, on Sassafras ridge. The hos
pitable citizens of that vicinity, we
learn, are making ample preparations
TO entertain visitors. Several address
es will be delivered during the day in
the interest Of the Railroad aud Levee,
and splendid music and grounds pro-
vided for the young who choose to
amuse themselves IN the dance. The
Hickman Brass Band have been invi-
ted, and we suppose will be in attend
ance. A considerable delegation from
Hickman aud also some from Madrid
Bend are expected.

live sufficiently convenient, are request

In Ohio the Liberals made very
large gains, but not enough to carry
the State-though the Democrats gain
ed several Congressman. In 1868 the
Republicans majority was Il 800, now
it is only 10, or Is, 600.
The Hickman courier., 1872-10-12

THE LEvEE VoTE.-The PROPOSE
ton of building a levee from Hickman
to the highlands of Madrid Bend is to
be voted upon by the land owners of
the overfowed sections, on next Satur
day, the 10Th inst. The tax to be
realized is not to exceed 81 per acre
under any circumstances, and will
probably have to be paid in annual
installments- of ID or 20 cents. Tie
overfowed lands now would probably
average only about 81 per acre, and re
deemed would be worth from SO to
SIS. This in addition to securing
permanent road for the transportation
of produce to market. The additional
population which would occupy these
lands, when protected, would bring
rich trade to Hickman. 1t promises
more rich results to the town of Hick
man than any enterprise discussed be-
fore our people for many years. If the
vote Of next Saturday is favorable, the
Levee can be built If it is defeated
the enterprise will fail. The friends
of the Levee, the friends of the town
of Hickman should interest themselves
in this matter. The charter will be
accepted provided full vote can be OBJ
tanned, and our citizens should interest
themselves to secure a full vote. All
land owners, male or female, are en-
titled to vote-one vote for every so
aeres-or fraction of 50 acres. \
poll is to be opened at the City Hall
in Hickman, and also at Campbell's
School House, on Sassafras Rrlgs, and
the election TO be held in every respect
as other State elections.

The Columbs Dispatch thus discusses
Paducah's baby show:
Len Faxion, the gushing young To-
cal editor of the Kentuckian, is loud in
demand for baby show at the Padu-
eah fair. Whether he has babies to
exhibit, or wants to exhibit himself as
one, he does not say. The editor of
the -Ne,os, who is an old man, is op-
posed to the show, declares that he
himself will have nothing to do with
the baby business.
