Guard Against Fire.

If few buckets of water be placed in
convenient places about the business
houses and dwellings of the citizens of
the place it may be the means of pre-
venting fire. The weather is very dry
indeed, and the chances of fire greater
than on other occasions; hence every
precaution is necessary. "An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure

THE NEW CURRENCY BILL, which has
received the signature of the President
and become a law, fixes the maximum
limit of greenback currency at 1892, 900, 600,
relieves the national banks from the ne
cessity of holding reserve on account of
circulation, except five per cent, which is
to be held on deposit in the treasury of the
United States for the purpose of redemp-
ton, and provides for the withdrawal of
s55,00O,OO0 of bank note currency from
States having more than their quolas, and
its distribution in States having less than
their quotas. II does not provide for free
banking, or for coin redemption at auv
time those questions being left in abey-
ance. Under this bill the banks of New
York will lose about 100000 of circula-
ton and those of Baltimore about SG,OOO,-
900. Tue remaining 81, OOO, 900 will come
mainly from the New England States,
The strong majority by which the meas
ure passed Congress shows that it was not
regarded as involving the question of in
iation or anli-inhation. The re.distribu-
ton of The currency, which is leading
feature of the law, is generally acceptable,
but that part of the law which repeals the
requirement Of bank reserves is indirectly
a measure of imitation, for while it would
not add to the legal volume of paper it
would increase the amount actually in cir
culation, unless the prudence of bank
management should have the practical eff
feet Of the legal requirement. The law is
unquestionably compromise and is like
ly to be repealed or materially altered at
the next session of Congress.

Mr.. Sinclair, one of the shrewdest lead
ors of the New Hampshire democracy, has
introduced in the lower branch Of the Leg
islature a liquor bill which represents
policy OH which the majority is not unlike
ly to unite. The democrats are pledged to
give the State something different from the
present prohibitory law, while at the same
time the wiser heads among them know
that surrender TO free rum would secure
the defeat of their party next year. This
bill accordingly represents an attempt to
steer between the Scylla and Charybdis of
prohibition aud free rum. 1t contemplaes
the most stringent sort of license law. Ev-
cry town, to begin WITH Is to have local OPP
ton. In towns which vote against prohi-
ton, licenses are to be issued TO sell liquor
to any man recommended by fifteen solid
citizens. Upon payment of license fees the
vendor may sell Oh week days only up to
IL o'clock at night, and in no case to be
drunk on the promises. Sales to minors,
to persons partially intoxicated, to persons
10 whom any one Of whose relatives may
have forbidden the seller TO sell, are pun
ished by heavy fines and imprisonment,
and the seller is also liable for all damages
TO person or property inflicted by persons
to whom he has sold liquor in disregard Of
any of the above restrictions. AdultCra-
ton is punished by fines. On the whole,
liquor sellers would be likely TO rcglrd
such law as this a much uglier custom
to deal with than an ordinary prohibtory
law,

Adjournment of Congress-,

Both Houses of Congress adjourned ut
six O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. The clos
ing hours Of the session, according to the
Boston journal, were marked, as usual, by
general hurly-burly Of proceedings, amid
the pressure Of a clamorous lobby. 1t is
admitted, however, that tho latter has been
kept at arms length better than on most
such occasions heretofore, and that II less
number of mischievous aud doubtful clau-
ses will be found when tho legislation OF
the last few days comes TO be examined.
A favorable incident in this respect seems
TO have been that the House was for once
decidedly ahead of the Senate in the trans
action of business. We read, also, in a
Democratic contemporary, that "up to mid
night the conduct of the members was bet
ter and more appropriate than on previous
similar OCCASIONS" aud the absence from
the report of all disgrncelul scenes would
appear to confirm the remark.
Among the important bills acted upon,
the Tariff bill was def uted, the Sundry
Civil Appropriation without tho civil ser
vice clause and the River aud lIarbor bills
were adopted. The Postage bill, as adopt
ed, likes the prepaid rate ON daily news
papers at two cents per pound. The Gene
va Award bill passed both Houses in such
shape That the undisputed claims are to be
paid aud the rest lett over for future cousid-
Grafton, Boaid of Commissioners being
charged with the WORK of adjudicating up
on the demands. OF the Currency bill IA
dopted and approved we speak elsewhere.
The repeal of the Sanborn contracts, the
material modification of the Moety law,
the bill for the relief of National Savings
Banks and the Bankrupt bill are also H.
mong the recent measures of the session,
aud all 20, 50 far as they so. The subject
of Transportation goes over to the future
the Committee having charge of II being
empowered TO sit during the recess. Moth.
ing was done with the bills abolishing pol
ygamy in Utah, and the Civil Rights bill is
given up for the present. The injunction
Of secrecy is removed from the Canadian
Reciprocity Treaty, aud its consideration
postponed to the next session.
When the time for final adjournment
drew near, everything had been done up
so completely in the House that Gen. Gar
field felt warranted in, taking an extended
and cheerful review Of the progress Of re-
trenchment, and Messrs. Dawes aud Kas-
son-neilher of whom is man easily sat
isied reported the Treasury TO be in Il
good condition. If all is well, then, that
ends well, Congress aud the country ought
to be congratulated.

were almost a hundred persons present,
which is an unusually large number ior
caucus In this town, and II would be un-
reasonable to suppose that the newspaper
calls were wholly tho occasion OF ii. Ihe

mittee returned with list Of twenty-one

"minority report" In which he gave an
account Of the proceedings IN the commit

presented was "cut aud dried" previous
to the meeting by parties intent on defeat
ing the nOmin ttion of George Howe for
Senator, who thus sought To control the eau
Gus for their own ends. lie therefore
moved that the report of the committee be
rejected. The majority had little to say Tor
themselves, and pending the motion of
Mr.. Tyler, several parties made further in
teresting disclosures, and expressed their
minds with refreshing freedom. The gen
eral sentiment was plainly ia opposition to
the committees report and when, on taxi
ing the vote, a division of the house was
ordered, the majority ia favor Of rejection
was about two to one. On motion, the house
then proceeded 10 elect delegates by accla-
nation, and the following persons were
chosen: j. NJ. Tyler, X. Iaskins, II. T..

On Sunday evening Ia I, about 7u'clock

years old, left his mother while tenIporari-
ly stopping at the house OF Thos. Ashwell,
saying he wanted 10 so home. Nothing
was thought of ii at The tune, but IL was
soon discovered that the little fellow was
really missing. Search Was immediately
made, but no trace of the boy could be
seen. Some twenty of the neighbors con-
unued the unsuccessful search all night
with lanterns. In the morning the num-
Der Of the party was increased to forty men,
who traversed every hill aud vale, examin-
ing carefully every little stream OF water,
every thicket, aud almost every rod of
ground in the immediate neighborhoud.
but no boy was found. The anguish of the
parents was intense at the thought that
their darling boy was lost. Notice was
sent all through the town of the result of
the search up to II O'Clock on Monday.
The excitement was increasing every mo-
menti all business was stopped, aud the
streets were filled with men aud boys from
all directions, repairing to the scene TO
render assistance If possible, when the IT.
tie boy was seen coming down the Rocky
hill road about l o'clock, p. NJ. Though
all seemed joyous, no pen can describe, nor
heart feel the joy that filled the mothers
breast as she clasped the little boy that was
lost, in her arms,-and whose eye could
but weep, 20 hear the little one say, "moth-
er you did not come for me9" Laus Dec.

The AboIiILOnIsIa, Reuninn.

The old abolition veterans of the country
have been holding a reunion at Chicago,
and the Springfield Republican thus speaks
of the gathering:
The reunion of the old aboliliOnists at
Chicago seems TO have passed off very
pleasantly aud with good deal of ecat
There were some conspicuous absences ;
such veteran leaders as William Lloyd
Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Charles Fran
ois Adams, Francis Gillette, Col. Higgn'
sOr, j. s 'ph Warren Alden aud EliZur
Wright were only represented by letters,
Needless to say that Mr.. Garrison warned
the brethren anew against the "siren cry Of
reconciliation" Colored faces, too, were
few and far between, although invitations
had been sent to representative men OF The
enfrsnchised race in all sections Of the
Union. But there was a goOdly turnout
and we do not need the Chicago reporters
to tell us that those who put in an appear
ance enjoyed themselves and each other
amazingly. How could they help il, look
ing back over the past aud then realizing
the presently Speeches were made, papers
read, the old songs Tesung, resolutions
adopted on various subjects. Charles SUM-
ner's memory was duly honored, the sur
vival OF the old prejudice against the negro
was deplored, the editors and printers Of
the country were invited to contribute to
monument for Elijah u. LOvejoy. But tue
cream" OF the reunion, of course, was Inc

The Rutland Globe is of the opinion that
Senator Edmunds' speech at the State con-
vention would have been more to the pur-
pose, if, instead of serving up re-hash of
his old stump speeches, he had explained
the reasons which led him to vote, only a
few days before, to put Vermont newspa-
pers under the surveillance of the Wash
iugtOn courts ; also If he had something to
say about District of Columbia affairs
Sanborn contracts; spies, moieties and in
formers; increase of salary Louisiana
matters; the Arkansas imbroglio; the cor
ruptiou in the "western judicial district of
Arkansas" the transportation question /;
the South Carolina troubles; Simmons,
Williams and Richardson's appointments
the constitutional amendment in reference
to presidential elections; civil service re-
form, and the currency question. The
speech, remarks the Globe, was unworthy
of the Senator's great abilities, unworthy
Of the time, place, occasion, and OF the men
to whom it was delivered.
