An aegrieyed man writes to a Portsmouth

An aggrieved man writes to Portsmouth paper: Allow me to express my disgust at the new issues of the 10 cent and 25 cent scrip, and the errors into which an honest man may be inveigled by the close resem- blance in size and appearance to the new 50 cent scrip. On Saturday bought 25 cents worth of something and rendered a dollar bill in payment. The storekeeper gave me in change one 10 cent and one 25 cent scrip and one cent nickel, and think ing had got two 50 cent serips and nick el, thereby being 25 cents in, I hastily stuff fed the money into my pocket lest the tra
 derj should discover his mistake before I got clear of the store. An hour later, when l found l had only received 40 cents in change instead OF the 80 I was entitled to, I went back and the storekeeper would not make up the difference, saying should have looked at my change before l left the store.' 7h* '# .-

 At Ashley Falls. July 18th, an infant son or Theodore Russell, aged 5months.
 sAt Healdsburg, Sonoma Co.,, Cal, June 3Oth Lewis G. Rogers, son of Rosser Rogers of Falls Village, aged 30 years.
 Thirteen years ago Lewis left his native town-our honored old Salisbury-to seek his fortune in that far famed country be- yond the Golden Gate. With sad but brave heart he bade adieu to father, home and friends, making the second vacant place in the home circle, (for the dear mother had already heard the summons Come up higher; ) toiling on ambitiously in strange land, but ever with the hope, as his letters home gave evidence, of returning some time to the scenes of his childhood. But who can read the future? Even now as we write, while all the earth is so fair and bright in it's summer beauty, Lewis is calmly sleeping in his distant grave, over shadowed by the grand old oaks of Califor- nia, unmindful of the aching hearts and fearful eyes of those who loved him in the home of his childhood; grieving that the life winch gave such rare promise from boyhood to manhood should be so early ta- ken away. His friends are assured that every office of kindness and esteem was tenderly rendered to him in his last illness j; and the last respects were paid to him un- der the auspices of Healdsburg Lodge, No. GA. l. O. o. F., of which he was a member. 'To the large circle ot relatives and friends who miss and mourn him, we can only point to his just and honorable life; and feel content in the trust that He doeth all things well,' and so He giveth His beloved sleep. 0.

suppression of all these evils.
 It was agreed in the spirit of the resolu- ton that this committee, while assuming none of the duties or responsibilities of the towns committee, should yet cooperate with the latter; that they should cause the arrest of persons found intoxicated, duty not contemplated in the work of the other body; that they should do all that the pri vate citizens may do 70 maintain the laws that the towns committee thus seconded might the more perfectly accomplish it's work. The assurance given by member of the town committee showed one ample reason, were there no other to justify the creation of the committee of six. A case arising from an occurrence in our streets on Saturday, July 11th, was by vote entrusted to special committee composed of the members of both temperance committees, with the request that they proceed immedl- ately as the law provides. The case re ferred to was the disturbance made by two young men who were crazy drunk They were promptly arrested, but were released, liable however to being further dealt with, according to the statute which applies. The community should be impartial in the treat ment of all violations of the law, alike in low places and in high. It is in defiance of law, and of the good order of soclety, that man anywhere deals out that which inebriates. How can man who defes those two things claim that he is entitled to be let alone? It is good to agitate the sub ject. The more the noble theme of tenn perance IS agitated in any place and to this statement Falls Village is no exception the less will be the agitations of public order arising from the rowdyism and the drunken brawls fomented by the drinking places.

and pulling, others whistling, hose bursting, firemen swearing, women and children hat less and shoeless crying, and all together it was confusion confounded.
 Merchants for blocks away even up to Madison and Washington streets, were packing up their stocks and removing them to the west and north sides for safety. On the lake front the scene was magnificent the night was very dark and the park grounds on the shore of the lake were filled with people viewing the flames as they as cended high towards the heavens. The air was filled with millions upon millions of sparks which, being waited by the wind far out into the lake and to other parts of any moment they might kindle other fires, and ln case they had done so our beautiful business blocks of granite and marble would now be nothing but debris. The great exposition building was in danger of becoming prey to the fiery element, and upwards of one hundred men were put on guard around the building and on the roof, and this precaution saved it from destluc- tion.
 Undoubtedly Chicago will profit by this fire, for as we have previously remarked in this letter that the burnt portion of the city was filled up with wooden shanties, and so closely packed together that many wise heads have said some day this district will be the cause of terrible fire, and be the means of burning up our city. It has come and gone, and Chicago breathes easier, for there are no more finder boxes south of us to create the like again. In this burnt dis trict the streets and alleys were very mar row, and as very little ventilation could get in, this place was considered very un- healthy, and the mortality was greater than in any other. Now broad streets and al leys will be laid out both east and west, and by this means good ventilation will be se- cured and business blocks will take the place of what was once private dwellings 1; and really this fire in the long run will be a blessing in disguise.
 The north siders were the worst scared people you ever heard of, They came by hundreds to see if there was possibility of it's reaching their homes; nor could they be induced to leave until the wee sma' hours of the night and the firemen were masters of the situation.
 Respectfully yours, | R. B. MITCHELL.

The Chicago Fire.

Another terrible confagration has visited our city. The fire broke out at o'clock F. M., the 14th inst. near Clark and Twelfth streets in wooden shanty, and before the alarm could be given and the engines brought to the scene, it had communicated to adjoining wooden buildings, also to the oil factory of Messrs. French & Co.,, and from this moment it was beyond control and ragged fearfully until past midnight, when it was discovered that the firemen were getting the advantage of it. The vii cinity where the fire originated is covered with low wooden shanties and close togeth CT, and the moment a fire was started it was next to impossible to prevent its spreading The structures, parched by long continued drouth, were nothing but finder boxes on which the flames could feed, and high southwest wind prevailing, most of us thought that the business portion of Chica- go would again be in ruins.
 The scenes and incidents of Fl were enacted over again. This part of the city was inhabited mostly by colored people and females of questionable virtue; in fact it was the vilest and lowest part of Chicago, and now that it is over we raise our eyes to heaven and thank God it is no worse; for had the wind been directly in the south, no doubt but what the whole business portion of the south side, and all of the north side on Clark street would to-day have been in ashes. Most of the people burned out are of the poorer classes, and many must inev- itably suffer privations and want; but it comes in season of the year when fuel is not wanted, except for cooking purposes, and of course there will be no suffering from cold. Then again, our relief society is in working order, and with ample means at their command, will relieve much of the suffering that otherwise would occur. The relief and aid society has now funds on hand to the amount of over $500, 900, and those in distress will receive what assistance they need. G. '' About 14O good buildings and $50 shan ties have been destroyed. The mail bags and mail matter were removed from the post-office, corner of Harrison street and Wabash avenue, at P. M., and the post office was burned at about 9 r. M. The streets were filled with multitudes of peo- pie hurrYing hither and thither, some run ming one way and some another, and prop erty was being driven away in wagons, in every direction. Engines were smoking

B Apropos of Commodore Vanderbilt's penchant for wearing white cravats, the Independent tells this edifying little story The commodore was coming down town in a Fourth-ayenue car the other day when two young men entered, both drunk enough to be in the confiding mood. Perceiving the snowy locks and the white neckerchief on the other side of the car one of them nudged the other with his elbow, and then moving down on the seat until he was di rectly opposite to the commodore, leaned over and said in maudlin whine I spose yer think't I'm agoin' straight down to h(hic)ell, don't yer?' 'Why-no; hope not, answered the commodore, deprecat- inglY. The young man edged back to the side of his companion. He's Univers'list (hic),' he said in knowing tone. Plainly it would not do to take any spiritual advice from such heretic.
