WEDNESDAY, Oct. 15-6 M.
That the slowly returning confidence in CONNER
cial circles should be arrested by the renewal OF
the financial dIificulues of Wall street. which are
the result Of the panic in the stock market, is
matter Of no wonder; while the renewed dstrust
with which even purely mercantile matters have
come to be regarded and the apprehensions which
obtain among the business public is matter Of
regret; tending, as it does to circumscribe
mercantile transactions within the narrowest
possible limits. Business is dull In
nearly all departments OF trade, and the steady and
material shrlnkage in values has not served to ac-
celerate it in the least In fact the greater the de-
cline the less disposition there seems to take al
vantage OF 1t. On 'Change business was hight.
Flour was duh AMI heavy. Wheat firm, but dull,
owing to the decline in sterling exchange, which was
almost unstable. Corn was more steady, but very
quiet ne is true OF oats Whiskey unchanged.
Pork was nominal Lard was du!i ana easier to buy.

and naval stores ruled quiet without any important

From the Start

On last Thursday night the barn be-
LONGING to Mr.. John Fannin, of Allen
township, was set on fire by some un-
known person, and the building very
costly one-was totally destroyed. AT
the time of the fire there was Il fine
stallion in the barn, a jack which cost
over eight hundred dollars, an excellent
mare. and a filley. There were also
several hundred bushels of wheat, oats.
rye. etc., a corr planter, corn cultlva-
tors, a reaper. mower. plows, hay forks,
barrows, several tons of hay, harness.
everything was destroyed with the *
ception of an old axe.
Last Monday morning, as MIR.
Thomas Robinson, living a few miles
southwest of Grant City, was driving a
team of horses hitchcd to q wagon, the
hnes broke and the horses became I'M
MANAGEABLE. Mrs. Robinson and Miss
Mary Frakcs. daughter of MIR. Amos
Frakes. were thrown out Of the wagon,
the RIGHT ankle of the ,atter being Sc
vcrely injured. Mrs. Robinson's clothes
cauuit in the wagon-bed, and she was
dragged some distance, and although
somewhat bruised, she was not seriously
injured.

| would not cost more to take it to market
| than it would come to. We should all
try to be more soci,ble, forget all past
| differences, and work together like a
| band of brothers and sisters; and there
is nothing else so likely to promote this
| desirable object as the Patrons of HuS.
bandry. Eere we know no politics and
have no politicians; here we know no
difference in religious principles. Here,
if the principles of the o: der are carried
out. discord cannot enter. Here we
work together like Il band of brothers
and would. if we could, work in harmo-
nv with all the rest of mankind. Not
withstanding. VT are accused OF being
selfish in working for our own interest,
and accused falsely of making war on
other industries. We propose TO en-
courage and promote the welfare OF all;
and do not intend to V make war on
the much abused middle man; but if we
can manage u own affairs, without
that expensive incumbrance, and Il few
middle me are quietly thl w Out of
employment, they can just as quietly 60
into some other business where they may
be of some service to mankind, as man.
u%facturers, mechanics, or producers of
some kind. 1t is not their fault if we
manage our business so loosely that
their services are required as gO-be-
tweens-between ourselves and the q m
sumers of our produce, and between the
manufacturers and notwithstanding up
all of the profits of both. Every man
has a right to make a living the easiest
way he can possibly do so. There GER
tainly was a need for him or he would
not have been created; and whenever
he is needed no longer he will cease to
exist. Whatever we do, we will do
| without violence or without wrOnging
any one, and if we have Il revolution, it
will be quiet and bloodless. AS Il class,
farmers are left more to themselves than
| almost any other class. 1t is often the
case that for weeks mt a time they con-
| verse with no one but their own family;
and that t. a very limited extent, norm
ing, moor and night; and though he
may be a deep thinker and a sensible
man in every respect, he is apt to be a
poor conversationalist; he cannot e
press his ideas in suitable language; and
| consequently when til, occasion requires
that he should be heard, he knows his
failing and shrinks into the background,
and his place is filled by some profess
sional talker, with. perhaps. not One-half
the good sound common sense, and very
likely not capable of coming to a correct
conclusion on any subject that requires
deep thought and sound reasoning. Now
the Patrons of Husbandry propose to rem
edy this evil by making OF every Grange
| a lecture room, where all sorts of ques-
tons are discussed, and all the members
