CoLLIERvrLLE, September IA
great religious revival has been in pro-

pranounced by gentlemen from all parts
of the country, and especially from

CHICAGO, September lS.-ThP asti-
mate made in these dispatches last niOht
of the total loss by the fire Yesterday ia
probably nearly correct. The lowest es.
innate is two hundred thousand dollars /.
the highest, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. 1t is impossible to
state at present the amount Of insurance,
but 1t Is thought to be about thirty per
cent. OF the total loss. Among the COM
panies who suffer loss are the Etna, of
Connecticut; the st. Paul, of Mime
sotai Lycoming, Of Pennsylvania; the
Pennsylvania German, of ofPennsylvania;
the Allemina, of Cleveland, the Kan
sas, OF Leavenworth, Kansas; the Ger
man, of Quincy, Illinois; the Me-
ehanies, Of Milwaukee; the Snyder &
Miller agency, and the w. F. Rolos
agency. The latter agency loses about
ten thousand dollars. None of the
others named exceed fifty-five hundred
dollars. A number of minor casualties
TO the firemen and citizens, in addition
to those mentioned in last nights dis
are reported, but with the ex-
eeptlon of one man, VIM. Sehmartz, OF
engine No. q, none are very serious.
Sehmsrtz is reported badly injured.
LATER.
The total loss by yesterdays fire is
put down at one hundred and TWENTY
i've thousand dollars, and the insurance,
so far as known, is sixty-five thousand
seven hundred and twenty-five dollars,

NEW YoRK, September ls.-Another
day Of intense excitement passed over
Wall street. Early this morning pre-

downfall of more than one financial
house. The Chicago fire, it was thought,
would occasion a drain upon deposits
and tend to 3 panic. Stocks for the first
two or three hours huctnated wonder
fully. Western Union fell ten per cent.

noon recovered its opening figure. AT

The School Fund-DecisiOn OF Colonel
E. w. Gantt-Teachers Rejoicing.
From theJeGerson Republican,

From the Jefferson Republican,.
Colonel E. w. CAN'T, by the request
Of prominent officials, has duly consid-
cred the mooted question of the appoT-
tiOnment of the two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars raised by the tax of
1872 for the payment Of teachers wages,
and has delivered his opinion therein,
which reaches us through the columns
of the Gazette. The new revenue law,
in the Judgment of the learned attorney,
does not repeal the sections Of the old
school law relating to the distribution Of
public moneys, as the tax was levied for
q specific purpose, and can be appropri-
ated to no other uses, according TO con-
stitutional and legislative enactments;
and even il the Law could be SO con-
strued, it would not inhibit the appor-
tionment, as the amended school law,
which revives the provisions Of the old
act, received the signature of the COVER
nor one day after the approval of the
revenue bill, and of course controls the
actions Of the school officials. The over
worked and poorly-paid country teach
ers will be pleased to bear this announce

Baxter for having allowed the legisla-

wages Of the poor teachers. They will
be compelled to explain anew those
crooked "ways that are dark aud tricks
that are yRin," for which, Il. hiss besn
