FIRE-On last Saturday the Office of Drs.
Gilkeson & Gillum, in the town of Greenville,
took fire from stove pipe The fire had been
in progress considerable length of time prev-
GUS to its discovery, and, at the time of alarm,
not only threatened the building to which it was
then confined, but placed tie entire village in a
state of jeopardy which must have resulted in
the total destruction of the place, but for the
manly efforts of the 'Greenvile Fire Company.
Within five or ten minutes after the alarm was
given. the company, with engine and hose was
on the ground, place for every man and every
man in his place; and never did set of fremen
work with more determined will TO check the
raging element than did they. Within an hour
the fire was extinguished, engine and hose re-
placed in their respective quarters. every man
tasted of McCrary's best app!ejack, and the
town generally wore its usual aspect OF serene
beauty, except the unfortunate Office, which was
greatly damaged. to say nothing of the insight

THE FUTURE OF THE ENGLISH FARM
LABORER.

A writer who has given the subject much
attention and has become thoroughly familiar
with 1t in all Its bearings, declares that the
strike of the English agricultural laborers will
terminate in an emigration from England to
this country, which in extent, will overshadow
the great exodus from Ireland to America.
And this view Of the case is more than likely
to be The correct one, for the fact is, England
ia oyerstocked with farm laborers The arabic
land under cultivation Is not sufficiently pro.
ductive 10 warrant the owners in granting the
higher pay asked for. In many cases the laud-
lords are absolutely too poor to raise the rate
of wages BY penny. On this side of the
ocean The land is in excess of the workers.
Here there are more acres than hands to till
them. What more beneficial, therefore, for
both countries than that the farmers and land
ehould be brought together. We cannot send
our vast Western plains to England to be cul-
tivated, but England can readily send to us
her surplus farm laborers.

The presence Of aurlferOus metals In Vir-

Rappahannack and other streams, as we'll as
In the foot hills of the Blue Ridge, has long
been known, but the location Of permanent
quartz mine or reef has not been thoroughly
demonstrated until lately. For year past
parties Of experienced miners have been en-
gagged In developing mine near Kelly's
Ford, five miles from Rappahannock Station,
Ia the neighborhood OF well-known place for
deposits. They have found series Of well.
defined gold-bearing veins. located 10 9

quartz bears strict resemblance TO the ore
taken out In the richest districts Of California.
A shaft eighty feet deep cuts three veins, at
depth Of fifteen, forty.fve aud seventy-fve
feet, yielding rock worth from sixty to one

A more Cheerful Feeling In New York
No Apprehension OF Trouble In tho
Wool and Leather Business-Boston
Credit Unimpaired In Gotham.
NEW YORK, Tuesday, November IL.
The papers here to-day take more cheerful
view OF the results of the Boston fire. Ia the
shoe and leather trade an impression prevails
that 40 harm can follow, as prices were at
very low ebb previous to the fire. Several
Boston men, who are here, have bought new
stock, and will rebuild Immediately.
None of the New York houses in the wool
trade are said to be dlsastrously effected. The
actual sufferers will be the public at large.
All kinds of woollen goods will be advanced
In price, 1t is expected, from thirty to forty
per cent, and several New York firms are
congratulating themselves upon the necessary
DETECTION of the wool trade from Boston to
New York. The Daily Bulletin says of the
wool trade market that dealers here recently
sold heavily to Boston merchants, but the
wool is mostly held here, or is In transit, 30
that 1t escaped destruction. Only email
amount of Boston paper, on wool account, Is
held here, and no fears are entertained. A
partial suspension Of the wool business is e1'
pected until the insurance balances are ar
RANGED, when the market will be more active
than before the fire.
The Bulletin says that there ia much confu-
sion and uncertainty In the dry goods trade,
owing to the failure to receive letters from
Boston. No great uneaslness is manifested.
In the hide and leather trade there Is an en-
tire absence OF any psnicky feeling, and the
Impression Is that the market will simply re-
main steady. In the boot and shoe trade no
crisis Is anticipated; the sentiment being that
all Boston dealers are still in good standing,
and only an extension of time Will be neces'
sary. Boston buyers who appeared here yes
terday were oheerfully given all the credit
they asked for.
