S75 LICENsE.--The Common Coun-
ell has fixed the city license for
selling liquor at SI5, which is an
advance of S. on the rate of last
year. -Four alderraen, we under
stand favored the SIS, and two
wanted it higher. 1t has always
been theory of ours that # great
er distinction was madon between
malt and Strong icuor dealers, the
the cause of temperance would be
advanced. A license rate of $50
on the poison known as whiskey,
&c, and $50 on malt liquors only
would, we believe work advantage
eously; decrease drunkenness, and
tremens, and tend to greater order
and sobrlety.

FIRE.-The building owned and
occupied by William Uren as store
and residence, on Commerce street,
was almost entirely destroyed by
fire last Friday evening, The fire
originated in the kitchen, but how,
cannot be explained, probably de-
fective hue or falling spark. Through
the efforts Of the people who quick
ly congregrated, the fire was pre-
vented from spreading, and most of
the household furniture and mer-
chandise saved; but much Of it III
a damaged condition. The loss is
difficult to accurately estimate, but it
will no doubt reach a thousand or
two; covered 10y insurance. Mr..
Uren expresses his thanks to the
people for their prompt and valuable
assistance in saving what was saved.

DARING BURGIARY.-Last Mon

thief, and a box containing a val
liable collection of papersabstracted
therefrom. Before the booty was
safely hidden, the guilty wretch was
detected by the devil, captured,
hand-cufied and imprisoned in the

locked up for nearly three hours he
was released, and after many fearful
promises to abstain from such ac-
tions in the future, and also to dis
miss his matrimonial aspirations was
set free.

Mr.. EDlTQR:-The DcmocroH in
its issue Of the 9th inst, in reply to
your statement about what the
county attorneys wrote to the bond
holders, said your statement was a
mistake; that the attorneys never
wrote any such thing. And in the
same issue, in reply to statement
similar to yours, made by the
Xr0nicie, the DeogocrGt said "The
statement is wholly Incorrect.
The comfy attorneys ssrote nothing
to the bondhQlders, except what
they were authorized to write by
the Fund Commissioners"
Please ask the UemOcr0t man, or
men, whether those statements were
authorized by the county attorneys,
or whether they were made by the
editor, or editors, without consult
ing the county attorneys The
people have a little interest in
knowing the truth about such state
ments. Yours, DC,

4 MOST exciting runaway occur
red IA this city on Tuesday morning.
A team belonging to John Miller at
tached to a wagon, was hitched near
his residence, became frightened by
dogs, broke loose and came tearing
down High street. At the corner of
Chestnut they came in collision with
a wagon belonging to a German
named Swartz, who with his wife
was sitting in the seat. The collis-
ION was so sudden and powerful as
TO break the tongue of SwartZ's
wagon, and pitched him and his
wife into the street, both turning
complate summersaults. One of Mil
ler's horses was thrown and further
progress arrested. That Swartz
and his wife should fall as they did,
without receiving instant death or
mortal injury seems almost miracn-
lous. The mans injury was slight,
the woman must have been more
hurt and bruised by the fall than
now IS apparent.

BARBADos.-The West Ll1an' has the fol-
lowing =
The weather continues favourable for the
crops. We had a down pour Of rain yesterday,
during the night ana this morning. In the
preceding three months, June, July, aud Au-
gust We have had 10 43 inches of rain, (taken
in Christ Chu ch,) which is double the guam
tity that fell in the same period since 1870,
when there was a like fall Of 10 so inches du-
ring these three months, followed by a crop
of 53,907 hhds of sugar. In 1867 there was
q fall of 23.16 inches in the same period fol-
lowed by a crop of $3.50 hhds; and 10 1865
of 2o.47 inches followed by a crop of 59,188
hhds, the largest crop ever reaped before. It
is to be hoped we may be equally fortunate
10 the results Of the present crop, of which
from its present condition, with every pros
poet of the rain continuing through the month,
there is reasonable expectation. The canes
are more forward than they were at this time
last year, and under a vigorous growth. We
have good accounts from all parts of the island,
especially from Christ Church and St. Philip,
the two largest parishes, of which it is said if
they have good crops, there is no fear of the
others not faring equally we'll. At any rate
the estates in the valley of st, George and on
the hills will not fail to come up to the mark.
There is nothing wanting in the agricultural
prospects of the year according to present ap.
pearauoes. Every thing promises we'll. The
weather perhaps in some parts where the reap
ing was late. has interfered with the tilIage of
the lands in preparation for the ensuing crop,
but there is time for that to be completed be-
tore the planting commences, and the making

THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

The Barbados House of Assembly, in reply
ing to Governor Rawson's address at the open
ing of the Legislative Session of 1674-75, took
a different view from that expressed by His
Excellency as to the financial position of the
colony. The Assembly could not congratu-
late itself upon an apparent increase in the re-
venue of 1873, when there was less individual
distress during that year. In taking this stand
the Assembly has shown undoubted wisdom
in refusing to embark in large schemes of ex-
penditures, and in delaying the execution of
public works on account Of their heavy cost.
the Assembly is proving its title to be the
guardian of the best interests of the colony.
Present expenditure upon works that can afford
to wait for their completion would be highly
prejudicial to the colony. Not only in Barbados
but in other colonies there is plenty Of occasion
