The unprecedented early commencement Of q
general and severe drought has excited the APP
prehenSion of short supply OF water, and calls
for preventive measures on the part of It's OIL
GERS to provide against all unnecessary waste BY
consumers.
1t is the earnest request of the President and
Directors to heads of families that no unneces-
sary waste shall be permitted, and that servants
ard children shall smut off hydrants rs soon rs
possible when used.
Especial attention is called to the use of wash
pans and bath-tubs both fruitful sources ofwa>te
The rules and regulations of the Company,
under its charter, provide fines and penalties for
any and aN unnecessary araste, and it becomes
the imperative duty of the officers, especially
under the condition of a scant supply, to enforce
these wholesome regulations upon HI offenders
\ deficiency of this indispensable article to

AFAsHIoNABLE Cook. Owensborough
Monitor tells the following story OF the appear
auce of a cook from Louisville IN that preteu-
,cntious little burg. He says:
Recently one of our most excellent house
wives had occasion to send to Louisville Tor a
cook. The latter in few days put in her ap-
pearauce, arrayed, apparently in large quaint.

Sheba dilapidated paners, hounces, hoops,

conner with astonishment, and when sufficiently
recovered informed her that she did not think
she would suit as mistress for the kitchen, as
her appearance indicated that it would require
three tourths of the day to get up her elaborat.

THE ERIE FIRE.
Still Mere Reliable Data as to the Losses-What

General Diven on the Situation.

The Erie Railway people do not feel at all as un.
comfortable over the great fire in Jersey City, by
which so much OF their valuable property was de.
stroyed, as great many people have been led to
believe. The first reports concerning the damage
done by the Dire, they freely confess, very naturally
threw them into what may be termed very bad
''scare"-that Is, those members OF the board who
were not thoroughly familiar with
THE REAL VALUE OF THE SHOPS
destroyed and the machinery, locomotives, &C., in
them, were badly frightened. The result OF the do.
alterations OF the Finance Committee OF the Board
OF Directors held ON Thursday, and the interview,
published yesterday, which o HERALD reporter had
with one OF the directors the afternoon OF the same
day, threw considerable light upon the real condl.
ton Of aairs, but not enough 1t was generally be.
lIeved, to show just exactly what the actual losses
are. In order to all up ell the gaps In the
history OF the destruction HERALD reporter yes-
terday paid visit to General Diven, the newly.
appointed general manager OF the Erie road The
reporter was courteously received by the gentle.
manly messenger at the entrance to the sacred pro.
cncts reserved for the exclusive use OF the oficers
OF the company, and shortly after he had sent I'm
his card was ushered into the presence Of the gen.

Ihave often heard the term satanic pressr rs.
ISOLATED with the NEW YORK HERALD. After lunch
to-day, at the Union League Club strolied into the
smoking room and picked up the current issue OF
the HERALD. Judge Of my surprise to ind full
page Of abstracts OF sermons and OF my utter
amazement to find In the editorial columns sum-
mary OF the abstracts, conceived and expressed in
not only becoming but most serious spirit. Allow
me to say how much | have been gratined
at what I saw aud read. or course
well understand that you win not take
to yourself any credit for this on the score
OF morals and religion, but viii put IL wholly on the
ground Of professional enterprise. But, even thus,
II Is q matter OF congratulation that the press
should deal In 80 just and decorous, ay, reverent
temper, with the religious. phase of current news.
As the subscription OF my name would very
likely detract from the weight OF my appreciation
