LATEST NEWS FROM THE CHICAGO FIRE.


CHICAGO, Wednesday. Sept. IT, 1873.
Several casualties occurred during the progress of
the fire. The Assistant Fire Marshal was severely
burned about the face and hands by shower
of blazing brands that fell from of the
houses, and the foreman of a hook and lad
der company was severely bruised and hurt
by falling timbers. Immense crowds of people
rushed to the vicinity of the conagration when the
general alarm was struck, and the excitement was
very great many fearing a repetition Of the
terrible calamity of 1871. Down town the
widest rumors prevailed. and people two
miles distant from the fire shared in
the panic of those in the immediate neighborhood.
The excitement and anxiety soon extended to the
country, many kilograms having been sent by per-
SONS here to friends out of town. and
the demand for from every
quarter. There are a number of engines
still playing on portions Of the ruins and watching
the borders of the burnt district to that there
shall be no fresh outbreaks. The excitement ap-
pears 10 have entirely subsidized and the streets
unusually quiet.

CHOLERA AND PAIN -KILLER-The efficacy
Of Perry Davis world renowned Pain. Killer in
all diseases of the bowels, even in that terrible
scourge, the Asistic cholera, has been amply
attested by the most convincing authority
Missionaries in China and India have written
home in commendatiOn of this remedy in
te-ms that should carry conviction to the most
sceptcal, while its popularity in communities
nearer home is ample proof that the virtues
claimed for it are real and tangible. The
Pain Killer has been before the public over
thirty years, and has won deservedy high
reputation as an alleviatOr Of pain and a
preserver of health. 1t has become house.
hold remedy, from the fact that it gives i'm.
mediate and permanent relief. 1t is purely
vegetable preparation made from the best and
pureSt materials, safe to keep and use in every
family. II is recommended by physicians and
persons of all classes, and to day, after public
trial of over thirty years-the average life OF
man-it stands unrivalled and unexcelled,
spreading it's usefulness over the wide world.
Its large and increasing sale affords positive
evidence of its enduring fame.

ANOTHER "CLAIMANT On last Saturday
Deputy Sheriff IIirons came to Milford with a
pocket full of processes to serve upon several
of our citizens in pursuance of suit brought
by an OctOgenarian widow named Greenley, oil
Maryland, for a dover in certain properties
here. 1t seems that many years ago her hus
band owned real estate here which was sold by
the Sheriff for de6t, and the wifes right,
were never conveyed. Recently her husband
died, and she now enters suit for her dover
This dover is alleged to lie in Mrs. Mary Lof
lands property, on Front street, 8 acres o.
land owned by Hon. james Il. Lrf md, OBJ
tanned by purchase Of Louis Chamberaine
and farm of VIM. n. w. Dorsey, Esq. neal
WilliamsyiIle. On inquiry, we learn that there
is grave doubt about the legality Of the claim
aud even if established, it appears that, owing
to some defect in the records, there will be
great difficulty in identifying the property. A.
the claimant is a very aged woman, the de

LAUREL AND LIQUOR The most intense
feeling exists against the liquor traffic in Lau-

The following resolutions we're passed:

The MONEY PANIC.-All our leading daily
exchanges tell US that the worst Of the money
trouble is over. Financial affairs are easier and
more manageable, and generally look brighter
Several mercantile failures are reported and
several manufacturing firms have suspended,
but the Ledger says that these are Offset by
marked revival of confidence in our sound
dividend paying railway companies, by an
advance in the prices of their stocks. Jay
Cooke & Co. have made statements of their
liabilities and assets. The liabilities are set
down in one lump at $7,93S, ,4O9. 26, and the
assets, somewhat in detail at SIS ,966, ,2l2.l7.
How much the bills receivable, bank insurance,
stocks, bonds and real estate, which are set
down at $780,, $40 12, would realize if forced
to sale cannot be cOnjectured. Then there is
$4,06S, ,2l5.O9 in loan to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company on bonds of the company,
and, again, loans to the same railroad COM
pany, on stock on the Oregon Steam Naviga
tion Company, to the amount of Sl,500,000.
Further, there is 50, $50, 800 90 in second
mortgage railroad bonds, stocks, &C. The
New York Herald says of this statement
''The assets look large, and we hope they will
prove ample to meet in full the liabilities, but
we cannot help noticing that nearly all are in
stocks and bonds, and mostly in those railroad
securities which have brought about the
trouble Still, we have no wish to color tn,
prospect darkly or to do injustice to the com
pany. We are willing to admit they have the
best intentions and will do what they can tC
satisfy their creditors"

The Sewing Machine Interests are greatly
exercised over an alleged discovery among the
English Patents. 1t is said that patent has
been found dated July II, $780, granted by the
bered tot for a sewing machine having all
the essential features of the American inven
tiOn--a horizontal table support, q perpen-
dicuar osciating needle, perfect horizontal
automatic feed, an upper tension for spacing
the stitches, take up to tighten them, and
a spool on the top of the arm. This can be
easily verified, as there are copies of the
English patents at our public libraries. 1t is
supposed to invalidate all the early America
patents by priority of invention. II correctly
stated, it passes belief that such a record
should have so long remained undiscovered

LATE PEACHES Several items about late
peaches appear in this weeks issue. There
are several growers in this vicinity who also
have new late varieties, and it may be OF inter
est to speak of them
Mr.. Benjamin Hurlock, at Blackiston' 81 Cross
Roads, Ton the Lea iarm) has been shipping a
late variety this week, large yellow peach
equal in size to the celebrated Susquehan'
mas" The variety, of which this is the first
crop, is very prolific. He will have about 2O0
baskets off of less than 200 trees. He also has
a new variety called Jackson's Late White,
fine large fruit that will not be marketable
before the 10th of October.
Capt. Scout, of the Landing, also has line
late seeding which he calls " "Reese's Late, y
which is Just now ready for market. 1t was
produced by Mr.. David S. Reese, of the AL
| lev" and is equal in size and flavor to any ol
the better earlier fruit.
And we have heretofore spoken of Lether
bury's Late" variety propagated by Mr.. d.
A. Letherbury, of this town, a remarkably
fine peach that will not be marketable before
the middle of October
Heretofore the Smock has been the lates
and meanest shipping variety, but it was CLOSED
out last week, and the farmers are glad to pro
duce a late fruit that has something NOR,
to recommend it than its lateness.
Smyrna times., 1873-10-01

There are other canneries besides these
one at Little Greek, employing fifty hands, and
will probably put up from $4,000 to 10000
cans, and another at FELTON,, employed twenty
FIVE hands, and putting up $4,000 cans, and
Messrs Hoffecker & Bother OF this town,
whom the reporter overlooked.
There are also three Alden fruit drying
establishments-on at Five Points, near Cam
den, which has put up ll,000 baskets Of
peaches; one at Milford, consuming 10000
baskets, and one at MiddletOwn, which has
confined itself to green corn exclusively.

II is great mistake to go hunting round

"PIsTOLs AND COFFEE FOR Two. The
landlord of the Middletown Hotel sends us the
following with reference to the blood aud
thunder affair at Middletown last week:
TO the Editor Of the Smyrna Times Sir
Permit me, through your columns, to empha-
tically contradict the report of the shooting af'
fair in my house. The difficulty was but a
slight quarrel between two Brothers, in the
rear of the Hotel, which understand has been
extensively circulated in your vicinity.
j. q. LOwBER.
What we said was all true enough, only We
located the affair in the bar-room instead Of
the back yard. Still we give Mr.. j.. the full
benefit of his explanation, both about the
shooting and the rear of his hotel.

BANK OF SMYRNA. reference 10 the
Bank of Smyrna we have little to add to what
we said last week, when we contraGicted the
foolish report about its loaning Clews & Co.
100000. Like all other Banks in the coun r.,
it is unable to cash checks, except for small
sums to pay laborers. The Philadelphia Banks
are largely its debtors, and as they cannot cash
greeubacks to cash its cheeks 1t is thought
that this temporary suspension will be righled
in few days. No uneasiness is felt by deposi.
tors, whatever.
