FARMING OF ENGLAND.

The farming of England is the best IN
the world The farms are usually large,
and the farmers men of intelligence ana OF
large capital. More attention IS paiG
there than anywhere else to the making Oh
manure grain is largely grown ana inc
system of regular rotation OF crops 10
maintain the fertility of the soil, is almost
universal. Over large part OF lhe
country the cash profit of farming is Sc
cured by the sale of grain, but the tertlii-
ty of the land, the ability to produce grain
is kept up by the feeding Of heavy stock
of cattle or sheep, which are kept mainly
for the sake ofthe manure they make, anG
which are largely fed on purchased food
in great part oil cake and Indian corn
imported from America. Such compile
system could hardly be carried out on SO
large scale on many farms in this country
for few of our farmers have the necessary
capital: but it is, after all, the system to-
ward which we should work and to which
we must look for the permanent future oil
our agriculture. Our farming can never
be perfect, nor anything like it, until we
shall have reached the point of Il constant
Improvement of the soil. A constant de-
terioration has been necessary conse-
quence of the rapid spread of population
over the whole breadth of the land, but it
must before long be followed by wave
of better farming, which alone can enable
such population to be supporting

MsttlSon and Gardiner Houses and The
Exposition building. The wooden cupolu
OF the German Evangelical Church, cor
ner Polk street and Sd avenue, was set fire
BY the sparks and the Church was almost
destroyed before the flames reached the
wooden buildings running north Of 1t
Atthis point an effort was made to blow
up some OF the buildings, under the direc.
tion Of Mark Sheridan, Col. Lippincott,
and Capt A. McCloud. A keg Of pow
der was placed In No. 29, Polk street, a
two story frame building, and the dc.
struction ol the building was complete.
Powder was next placed in the frame
building on the southeast corner Of Polk
street and Third Avinue. BY this time,
however, the flames were so close that
before the place could be cleaned out they
had crossed the street and broken out
north OF Polk street. Several attempts
were afterwards made to blow up build
ings on State street, between Polk and
Van Buren streets, notably at the 81.
James Hotel, but nothing efectual was
accomplished. 1t was impossible to oh.
tain powder in sufficient quantities to &C.
complish the work.

ANOTHER CHICAGO FIRE

out this afternoon about 4:80 o'clock in
the northwestern part Of the city, in the
vicinity Of the junction Of Milwaukee and
Chicago avenues. Fifteen or twenty
buildlngs,comprising stores, saloons, plan.
ing mill and carpenter shop, burned In o
short time, the flames being famed by "a
brisk northwest breeze and fed by very
ina4mmable material. The fire depart
ment were promptly on the ground, and
BY most vigorous efforts succeeded in
checking the progress Of the fire before
it did further damage than already stated.
Considerable excitement prevailed lor q
time and a repetition o! the scenes OF last
night was expected.
100000 LOSS BY TIE SECOND FIRE.
The fire in northwestern Chicago origi.
mated in Dugan's smoke house in the rear
OF his packing establishment. Nearly an
entire block was burned, but the build
ings were mostly of an inferior sort. The
fire burned for over an hour and half
One planning mill was destroyed with
some valuable machinery and patterns.
The loss is estimated at 100000: Dur
ing the progress Of this fire there were
two attempts at incendiarism in the same
neighborhood discovered and frustrated.

street at about six o'clock, but tho fire
there was soon subdued.

The Transfer Business between
Wheeling and Bridgeport.

The Wheeling Intsligencer does not
seem disposed to advocate very strenu.
ously the proposed railroad subscription
by Ohio county, being apparently set on
the other alternative ol passing the road,
as It stands, over to other parties who, as
1t puts it, "may be willing to take it as it
stands and finish it." There seems 10 be
wide difference Of opinion between the
editor and Mr.. Hubbard as to the amount
Of business done between Wheeling and
the Bridgeport depot, the latter stating it
at $50, 900 10 $4,000 per year, the former
OF not over $4,000. When doctors differ,
who shall decidep On q question of facts
there should be no difference OF statement.

Ouf statement was given on authority
that turned out to be correct, but as we
remarked in former comments on the sub.
ject, the discrepancy Is after all moro ap-
parent than real. Dir. HUDBARD's aim
at the Court House was to show that a
large business was done over the c. s. P,
road. with Wheeling, which business
would to greater or less extent fall to
the new road. Capt. MoLURE subse-
quently suggested thstif the business dont
by the regular transfer agents was added
to that done by the public at large in tht
way OF hauling between this city and thl
O. & P. cars at Bridgeport, It woult
amount to $4,000 year. Whether hi
Ia correct or not we do not undertake
to say.

The fact that some 90 acres Of ground

night and that the loss was notwithstand.

where between four and six), shows the
insignificant character OF the fire as com.
pared with the great conAsgraion Of
1871. Had the hre swept over the same
space farther north that 1t travelled before
reaching Congress street the destruction
would have been counted by tens Of mil.
lions very rapidly. The district from
Congress street to tho river Is one Of the
richest in the way Of business blocks in
this country. Fortunately for Wheeling
and for all the creditor cities and towns
Of the East the fire did not reach these

son again. Boston has been burned since
then and the panic still ovcrhangs the
country. The situation Is in many essen.
tial respects very much changed.
In regard to the losses that have been
sustained, they are given this morning as
amounting to about 100000, that is the
ostensible losses. This does not include
the loss from damage done in moving
household furniture and merchandise.
The insurance Is something like two and

company is quoted, but we understand
that the agents OF the franklin Insur.
snce Company telegraphed yesterday that
the company had sustained losses 10 an
extent perhaps Of $4,000.
