Settlers Murdered.-Fears Of a
General Massacre on the Cimar.
ron River.

CHICAGO, July IA "A correspondent
of the Inter Ocean, writing from Cimar-
ron, New Mexico, under date of the
9Th. inst, says: "The wave of Indian
war in the Southwest has reached our
usually quiet town. On last Sunday
hostile Indians, supposed to be the
Cheyennes, made a dash. on the Ma
loches Rancho, on the Vennejo River,
twelve miles from Cimarron, killed q
herder and drove off about twenty-five
head of horses.
'sThey made an attack on the same
day on two ranches on Crow Creek and
the Canadian River and killed two other
herders. They moved off in the direc.
ton of the Dry Cimarron River, and
we have just now learned from messen-
gers on Barlow & Sanderson's mail
coach that they made an attack on the
ranches and herding grounds along that
stream. They seem to have had every
thing their own way, killing the people
and driving off live stock at their pleas

Attention TO Little Things.

It matters but little how good the
cows are if care is not taken in milking.
It is of but small consequence that you
have gentle herd if the drivers or
mixers are allowed to abuse them and
render them frantic. 1t is but an in
different dairyman who spends hun.
dreds of dollars in his dairy house and
fixtures, and grudges a few dollars in
making his milkingyard comfortable
The woman assuring the country mer-
chant who objected to the hairs in the
butter, that he must be- mistaken, since
it had been forked both ways, had a
slight glimmering in the direction of
cleanliness Like self-righteousness; ;she
believed in outside appearances, but
seemed to forget that the tines of fork
were not always sure to catch hairs, un-
less kinky and long. So the dairyman
who neglects the various minutia from
the pastures where the COWS feed, up
through the milking yard, or stable, the
cooling, straining, skimming, churning,
working, sailing and packing, will be
apt to find some one between himself
and the consumer whom it will be nee
essary to assure that the butter has
been well forked. If care is taken in
little things in the labors of the dairy,
the great things, as in other directions,
will 60 far iu taking care of themselves.

Il EE-PARrox. the biographer, has, in
the July number of Harper's Magazine,
. very readable essay on the subject OF
falsehoods in newspapers 1t is evident
that he has bestowed upon his subject a
good deal OF thought. In regard to a
common, but most reprehensible, method
Of conducting newspaper, he says:
.Intelligence and character are costly
friyolity aud recklessness are cheap =
The incesssat abuse of individuals is one
of the few resources of an empty mind
it cannot discuss principles; it cannot
communicate knowledge; it cannot emil
ven hy wit and good humor; nothing re.
mains to it but to assail character. And
even when the decencies Of the press are
strictly observed, we find in the columns
Z OF the newspapers which are struggling
for life amnzing exhibitions OF helpless
ignorance"
II Mr.. PAnfox had added to the
shove characterization the cheap and
nasty efforts to show wit by the vul
gar practice of calling nicknames. ht
would have photographed class OF ed
itors too numerous among both country
and ci.y papers.

Second Edition Of the Fire of 1871
Loss,$4,oOo, 900 toss, 600, 1000


The city Of Chicago was visited by
another disastrous sre on the 14th and
10th insts. We give the latest psrticu.
lars:
CHICAGO, III, July Isl 81 A. NJ
The fire is now completely under con
troll and it seems impossible that there
can be much further damage DONE
Three men have been killed on Van Bu-
rem street By the falling Of wall. Three
Chicago steamers were btrned, the fire
driving the men from their Positions
Much hose Vas destroyed BY The fire. A
strong patrol of police are protecting
property in the vicinity of the FIRE, knock.
ing thieves right and left.
The limits of the fire are as follows !:
On South Clark street, No. 535, about
Twelfth; on North Clark, about Polk or
Dearborn; south limit, near Twelfth
street; north limit Polk, on Wabash av-
enue: southern limit, Harmar Court !;
northern limit, between Jackson and Van
Buren. State street, southern limit, Har-
mon Court northern limit, nearly to
Jackson. Third and Fourth avenues are
burned nearly their whole length.
The FIRE burned number of houses
on Michigan avenue, but has not damag-
ed that street to any great amount. Some
twenty blocks are burned.
The loss is variously estimated, but
cannot be given with accuracy. 1t will
not be less than 81 000, 600, and probably
not over S6,000,O00 This is covered by
about two. .fifths insurance, which is divi-
ded among numerous companies. Since
the great fire companies have been very
careful not to take large risks in any one
locality. A number of companies will,
however, undoubtedly succumb to the
drain upon them.
The following are some of the largest
losses; Jewish Synagogue, $4,000;
Quinn's Chapel, $15 1000; Adelphi Thea
ter, $75 900; St. James Hotel and fur
niture, $3.50. 900 Church of the Messiah,
S25, 600; Olivet Baptist Church (color.
ed,) $4,000.
A number of serious casualties are re.
ported, and several persons were doubt
less lost in the flames.
The fire is now completely under con-
troll, and no further anxiety is felt for
the safety of property on the north side
Of the city.
CHICAGO, July 15.-Another fire broke
out this afternoon at 4 80 in the north
western part of the city. Between ff-
teen and twenty buildings we're destroy
