Fire at white sulphur Springs.

Monday afternoon the Ohio
Reform School for Girls, located at
White Sulphur Springs was destroyed
by fire. At the time the fire occurred
Committees of both branches of the
Legislature were in attendance, and
the girls of the institution, 10 the
number of hundred and fifty, were
] attending exercises i'm the chapel, and
when the alarm was given there was
a fearful excitement. No lives were
lost. The property cost the State some
three or four years ago $4,000. and
considerable appropriations have been
since applied in improvements and
furniture. The loss ON buildings and
/ furniture it is thought will reach forty
lsheasand dollars. The cause of fhe

How 1T Works.

Something may be learned of the
working of free trade in money by
the experience of some of those States
in which it has been tried. In 1871
the Legislature of Connecticut, under
the recommendation of Gov. Jewell.
repealed the laws against usliry then
in existence there, and allowed the
lender TO demand whatever rate of
interest he pleased. The brief expe-
rience of the people there, we judge.
has hardly served 10 justify their
antfeipations nor 10 verify the
promises of the advocates OF the
uleasure THAT ie weuld TEND to make
money more abundant and thus re-
duce the rate of interest, for we OBJ
serve that the State Conventions OF
10th the Democratic and Republican.
parties recently held passed resolu-
tions most emphatically demanding a
restoration of the laws against usury.
/ California is, another State where
there is free trade i'm money. How it
operates there may be gathered from
the Following extract from a cores
pondent, of the Cleveland LeaderswF
seems 10 know whereof heispeaks
sislss In no State has money brought
such fabulous rates of interest. and no
where In this country has such wide-
spread personal ruin been wrought as
by interest, loans in Caiifornia. By
the statutes OF that State, any contract
for pay IHent can be enforced in the
Courts. and only last winter the Sur
prefHe Court of the United States, in.
a suit TO recover lands fraudulentty
tfansferPed.i decided that the. law OF
the State OF California mtist govern in
the rate OF interest agreed to be paid
on The original bond and mortgage,
and decreed the re-conveyance OF land
on payment .ofprlacipGl and interest.
The original loan was tour thousand
dollars in gold. The rate of interest,"
contracted for lby widow with tour
childrenl was, fire per cent. gold per
month, compounded, and the tsstere,t
decreed to be paid tie, origflaut Shg-
lock upon the loan in about ten years
reached the enormous sum of thirty
or thirty-five thousand dollars goid.s
Another instance In California came
under my persona. observation, where
the original loan was about $20,O GOO,
with interest. at five per cent. q mouth
Judgment was taken in California for
the principal and interest, as per con-
tract, and some years. afterWard the
defendant, q citizen of Ohio. paid to
conproDaise the. Judgment and inter-
est, his check for: SlOv,U00 in gold.
Even this sum, enormous as it was,
only paid the debt upon a ,cowpro-
mise. ~ s,.tissfl :. sse'F .gy49ss4
Isn't. that pretty, picture !? Does
amy one doubt that there are greedy
cormorants everywhere who would
drain the laat drop of blood from
their victims if the law lpiserposed no
obstacle r The people ask fortho pass
age Of no law that will place the un-
fortunate debtor at the mercy of the

MILWAUKEE,, January ls-The wealth
er reports from the Northwest thir
morning state that the severe weathes
exceeds anything this winter At
Sparta, Wisconsin, the mercury con-
gealed: the spirit thermometer marks
45 degrees below zero AT La Crosse,
Wisconsin, 81 degrees; At St. Paul
81 degrees below; at Minneapolis, "a
degrees below, and at Milwaukee, 8 de-
grees above.
A most remarkable phenomenon oc
CURED this morning between Milwaukee
aud Sparta, Wisconsin, $50 miles west:
The thermometer at the latter place
was As degrees below zero, while at
Milwaukee it was above zero.
The difference was due to two dis
tinct currents of the air, that at Mil
waukee being from northeast, with a
lively storm of snow, while at Sparta
and farther west the wind was from the
northwest with clear sky A change
in the temperature at Milwaukee oc
cureed Thursday evening, at which
time dense bank Of clouds worked its
way across the sky, following closely
in the wake of the moon.
