FIRE.-On Saturday, between Q and 8
O'Clock, the roof of small wooden
house. on the North side of Merry street,
near the South Carolina Railroad. and
occupied by colored families, was found
to be on fire. The alarm was given by
Mr.. Fl. W. Tiencken, living next door,
who endeavored to subdue the flames,
which rapidly increased and consumed
the building. The adjoining house
caught fire, and, like the other, was also
destroyed. Mr.. Tiencken kept ba-.
room in the house East, and lost his en-
tire stock and household effects, on which
he had an insurance of $500, in the
South Carolina Mutual Insurance Com
pany. The houses burnt belonged. to
Mr.. W. Van Wyck, of New York, but
whether insured or not could not be as-
certained. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by accidental dropping of
sparks on one Of the sheds.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
SIR: We are having very cold weather for this
section.
Much Of the corn crop remains unhusked; !;
help is very scarce, and farmers are blue when
dealers here only talk of the pitiful sum Of Is
cents per buahel. As many here take g. little Of
the ardent, they dislike very much to give up
bnshel Of corn for "Tom-and-Jery;' conse-
quently the drinking business is dropping of in
proportion to the decline in the price Of corn.
There are few farmers in this township who
MeBsrs. Yazen &, Campbell, are feeding 600 head
of the best the county affords. They sold 10
head to Mr. Joseph Bell, e day Or two since. av-
eraging the enormous weight of 2, Ats 1hs. They

Of the "epizootic." Scarcely horse is seen IN
the streets, except a few teams from the coun-
try. Oxen are used for heavy drafts, as ex-
pressage, wholesale goods, etc. /; while smaller
freight is delivered in hand-carts, wheelbarrows.

worse in the surrounding country. have heard
Of no deaths from this disease.
Rock River is frozen over solid here, and
numbers are enjoying themselves On skates. It

erably moderated in the last twenty-four hours,
and appearances indicate snow-storm.
