FRANKFORT, Mimi, Dec. 2, 1872.
Editor Transcript;
SIR The weather here during last
month was so. cold and stormy that it
occasioned considerable dissatisfaction
among the Frankfordians The most
violent snow storm of the month occu: .
red about night fall on the Goth ult.,
accom- anied by wind sufficiently
brisk to keep the fakes moving, and TO
render pedcstrianism difficult aud dan
gerous. The f.:cs having decreed that
the storm should take place while the
writer hereof was away from. his domi-
Gil, it came down upon him like an
avalanche Of iccbergs, and resulted in
his getting lost on a wide prairie. Be-
ing somewhat -reverential he did not
IBID the Storm King stay his hand,' but
struck out in search Of more comfortable
quarters, and soon succeeded in finding
good Samaritan who had enough pity
to take him in for the night.
A goodly number of our citizens that
are in favor Of suppressiny the liquor
traffic which is being carried on in the
little "burg" held u temperance meet
ing few days since. 1t was addressed
BY Mr.. A. NJ. Hutchinson, Of Spring
Valley, and, as that old tyraut, King
Alcohol, has at last been summoned
before tribunal composed Of an injur-
ed people, we are in hopes that the
grand army Ct temperance and reform
will throw thor banner to the breeze
and march forth in such manner that
those who are selling whisky on the sly
to countless numbers Of young men will
feel disposed to shut up their shops Of
pollution, and help to Danish all kinds
Of intoxicating beverages from our fair
land. So mote it be.
Since the Davenport & St. Paul r.
II. company's surveyors stuck their
grade stakes through this village, bust.
ness in the real estate line has received
a new impetus which has sent lots up
from ten cents to two hundred dollars
There has been nothing done yet in tn {
way of erecting depots aud wholesale
business houses. There is some talk
about large grist mill, but whether it
j. to be propelled by wind or steam i.
an unsettled question. Experiment.
heretofore made have demonstrated tn I
fact tho that the little riyulet which
passes through the town does not furnish
power enough for such business.
A resident Of Prankford, by the
name of Preston feathers, died yer,
suddenly during the past week al
Charles City, Iowa. His remains were
brought home and buried yesterday b,
the side of those Of his relatives who
have preceded him to the spirit land
Hons. Bostwick, Of this place, re-
ceived a letter few days ago from
Scotland, notiiyin him that he had 8
1000 legacy there awaiting his order
he has employed one Of the Spring
Valley attorneys to look after the mat
ter for him, and hopes to receive TIT
stamps in a short time. If the report
does not prove to be big sell on thu
good old man, We shall be glad.

for his old friend, as he correctly ina
gincd he needed an anodyne. On re-
turning home the night above mention
ed, Mr.. johnson mixed one Of the pow
ders and gave it to Mr.. Greeley. The
latter, in taking It, split half Of it over
his shirt front, and when reminded that
he had done so, he said, "Oh, never
mind tits just az good outside as
ill.," The following morning Mr.. Gree
ley was more restless and haggard in
appearance than ever. Mr.. johnson
sent for his family physician, Dr.. Krac-
kowizer, chief surgeon Of the German
hospital. Dr.. Krackowizer recognized
the case Us a serions one, and at once
resorted to the most energetic treat
ment. At first it seemed rs though the
mulady would yield to the treatment,
and at times the patient became gentle
in disposition, perfectly rational and in
apparently good health. 1t was during
this period that he wrote his card resu.
ming the editorship Of the Tribune,
published on Nov. 7.
Mr.. Greeley never again visited the
Tribune editorial room. To friend
whom he met three days later, he said
in hopeless tone Of voice:
II do not 90 to the Tribune Office
any more. l have no business there,
but I want thousand dollars. / must
have thousand dollars, if you can got
it for mo-"
After long pause, as if he had sud-
denly forgotten what he was talking
about, he said, " l am ruined" When
bis mind was called to the thousand
dollars, Mr.. Greeley told his friend that
he might leave tho money with the
cashier Of the Tribune, and it might
reach bin, but he did not 60 to tho
Tribune Office any more.

luded to was charity He had met with great
deal Of opposition and foied it, but he bore
hatred to no one. From ten to thirty years Of
age he had toied with his own hand for every
dollar that he had had, and his text books while
in Iae had been purchased by deprying his
body of food. But best of all he had triumphed
over all obstacles and had never seen an hour
when he hated living person. He concluded
with an invocation of the sweet spirit Of charity.

meeting of citizens was held last evening in
the mayor and aldermen's rooom, in the City
hall, to advise with the committee on the fire
department as to the most effective method of
preventing fires or to stay their progress.
The meeting was called by the committee on
fire department, who were instructed by the
city council at their last meeting to consider the
laws Of the state and city as regards the proven
ton Of fires, and to further investigate the gen.
eral subject and report at the next meeting of
the city council.
About forty gentlemen were present Alder.
man Wymau, chairman of the committee, pre-
sided, and opened the meeting by reading
communication from prominent citizen, con-
tanning suggestions as TO the putting out of fires
in building, The communication favored the
erection Of pipe through the building with
hose attached at the different stories. 1t also
deprecated the frequent changes of night police
to different beats, and suggested that an organ
ization to prevent the damage to goods by fire
would be useful
Mr.. d. Waslburn considered the water pipe
suggestion as one worthy of consideration by
the committee, and thought that the matter of
prevention VI ultS also DC tOllSlu-
cred. Among the suggestions made by Mr..
Washburn were that the height of buildings
might be limited; that Mansard roofs should
be protected, or rather, their dangerous charac-
ter diminished, by parti.walls running through
the roof, ending in battlements, and by the abO-
Hliou by law of all woodwork in the shape of
cornices or any ornamental work about them.
In answer to inquiries, Mr.Washburn thought
it important there should be an official in the
city whose duties should include those of an
inspector of public buildings. The awnings and
signs usually hung over the sidewalks are not
specially dangerous, and need no legisation
but there should be restriction upon the
amount of combustibles stored in large build
ings.
Dir. w. s. Davis, president of the Bay State
company, spoke earnestly Of the danger from
extensive confagration to which the city is
liable on account OF the large number Of wooden
buildings. lie agreed with Mr., Wasbburn in
his remarks, and suggested that II commission
should be appointed, whose duty it would be to
blow up buildings in case of emergency. He
also strongly favored the suggestion as to water
pipes in buildings. The penalties for infringe.
Ments of the fire ordinance should be heavier, so
ne n prevent the erection of wooden buildings
within the fire limits. The subject of elevators
vas also taken up, aud the opinion expressed
