THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN DEN
MARK.

In a late number of the Avis we gave it
as the opinion of the Danish Press, even
of that portion of it otherwise %fayouring
the HolStein Ministry, "that it no longer
afforded the necessary conditions, cOllec-
lively, tor its continued existence, and that
its retirement must be considered desira-
ble." Before and since, different minis
terial combinations have been tried, and
application was made to different
leading men of the class of great
landed proprietors to form a ministry
-Coout Frjs, Mr.. Estrup, Count Moltke-
Bregeutyed, General Haffner, a combina-
ton Holstein-Monrad, and lastly Mr.. Fon-
nesbech. DagbIadet Of the 14th ultimo
thinks that Mr.. Fonnesbech will succeed
in reconstructing the Cabinet. Of the
HoIstein Ministry, Mr.. Klein, Minister of
Justice, Baron Rosen0rn-Lehn, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and Mr.. Ravn, Minister
of Marine, are said to he willing to join
the new Cabinet with the same portfolios
as hitherto. The new PRIMER will him
self take over the Ministry of Finance ;
Mr.. Tobie>en, Director General, the Int
rior. Mr.. j. J. A. Worsaae, a distinguish
ed savant, is said to be willing to take
over the Ministry Of Public Instruction F.;
and it is supposed that the Minister of
Marine is to be at the same time Minister
of War
The present combination resulted
from the unwillingness of the leading
Members OF the Right Of the Landsting
to form a Cabinet. 1t would appear that
the idea Of a Left Ministry or partly Left,
or, at least, one with a strong leaning
toward that side, has been considered
"a possibility. The Fonnesbech Cabinet
will have very little of that. When,
therefore," says Dagbladet, His Majesty
has resolved to charge one of the Members
of the Holstein Ministry with the lorna
ton of a new one, it is to be hoped that
this combination will produce q satisfac-
tory result.
Mr.. Fonnesbech has, in a great part
of his political career, not had our sym
pathy," says that journal, (which tact

A fire broke out in State-street, Chicago, at
four o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t ragged for
about twelve hours, and destroyed sixty acres
of buildings. They were mostly terements Of
the worst class.
Several important %edifces, however, were
consumed. Among these were the Post Office,
the Adelphi Theatre, the magnificent Baptist
Church, the Methodist Church, ST. Mary's
Catholic Church, two SynagOgues, and four
hotels, viz, the Continental, Woods, st.
James's, and the Michigan Avenue.
Several blocks of fine residences in Wabash
Avenue; and mall part of Michigan Avenue
were also burnt down.
Many hundred families have been rendered
homeless by this catastrophe. Several lives
have been lost.
The value of the property destroyed is esti-
mated at five million dollars, or one million
sterling.
The fire originated in an explosion in a paint
shop. The streets being narrow, the buildings
of wood, and a high wind blowing at the time,
the flames spread with great r~apidity. The
heart Of the city was in danger all night. En-
gines were sent from all the neighbouring
towns.
The burnt district lies between Twelfth and
Jackson streets and State-street and the lake,
embracing the southern part of the district
burned in 1871.

son and Lake streets, destroying the Baptist
Church, Post,ofice, and four large hotels.
Many buildings were blown up to stay the pro
gress of the flames, but at 10 o'clock tonight
the fire was beyond control, and being famed
BY a strong southwest wind threatened to
extend to the Lake shore.
CHICAGO, July Is.
The fire in this city was checked at midnight

dollars. Two-ffths of the property are lnsur-
ed. The whole area destroyed consists OF

FROM DURANI.

Notwithstanding the low price at
which wheat has. been ruled. and the
general dullness of which complaint has
been made, the figures upon the books
of Mr.. Brown, railroad agent at this
place, show large amount of business
done through his office in the month OF
October. over two million pounds of
freight was shipped from this station
during the month, which We think will
compare favorably with other points on
the road, and speaks well for our stock
and produce buyers.
The favorable weather Is being i'm
proved by our farmers in their corn
fields, and we learn from their reports
that corn is better in this section Of the
county than was anticipated before the
harvesting commenced. They report
thirty five to fifty bushels to the acre,
with occasionally a piece falling below
that amount.
The annual meeting of the Durant
Cheese Company, held on Monday of
last week, resulted IN the selection Of
new officers for the ensuing year. ]. H.

interest ought to turn up even here in
Massillon, during the time which has
elapsed stree last wrote you. But you
know, Mr.. ADVERTISER, that the phases
of every day life, in a small village like
ours, are nearly the same the year
around And when anything unusal
occurs in these days of railroads and tel.
egraph poles, intinerant correspondents
rarely communicate new items.
The commotion among the saloonites,
caused by the arrest OF Hoover, has
nearly subsidized. Beer is still sid here,
but no whisky.
Messrs. Goldman d Co, Of Oxford
Junction, are buying grain here, and
several car loads have been shipped
McCabe and Williams are giving the far

Caleb Russell has rented his farm and

J. Shriver is building new wall un-
der his tenant house, and doing away

At the late election, one Of our trustees
was little enough to give a man a mark

voted Having obtained the desired

he was not ashamed to hold out said

TEACHERS INsrlTurE.-The week
past has seen our streets thronged
with the school masters" and
"marms" of the county, attending the
Institute as per previous call of Supt.
Rollins. The attendance was good,
and we lean that it was conducted
IN a manner that rendered the in
struction practical and beneficial to
the teachers.
Prof. Piper was with the teachers
during the entire week; his happy
and pointed manner of putting things,
together with his vast fund of valua-
BILE information obtained from close
study aud many years of successful
experience as teacher, cannot fail to
place him at the head of educational
work in the State. His lecture on
Friday evening on the "Warp and
Wool of Life" was listened to by a
crowded house and was pronounced
by all one of the best ever given in
Upton, vastly superior to many re-
tailed at 81 night.
The lectures of Prof. w. +. Crosby
on Tuesday eve, and Prof. S. A..
Knapp, of the Blind Asylum, on
Thursday evening, were solid, prac-
teal and Of superior finish, showing
common sense crystalized.
Altogether il is thought this ses-
sion was one Of the most successful
ever held in the county.
A new and highly entertaining
exercise of the Institute came off
soon after the close of the regular
work. II was case OF addition
w. II. VanNcss gave permission, and
Rev. Geo. Biscoe performed the ex-
ample, uniting w. O. Robinson,
Principal Of the schools at Mechan-
icsville, to Miss Lillian Nelson, for
better or worse and for life. There
are other young men that may t,ke
the hint and more exercises in addi-
tion follow.

what it Processes to be-the history
of life in Mormonism, written by a
lady of education and refinement,
who, through the influence Of reli-
gious sympathy, misdirected, became
the victim and slave OF one OF the
most extraordinary superstitions
which the world has ever seen. In
her own fascinating style, she tells
all that can be told of that strange
system, not as visitor at Utah
might relate it, but with the thrilling
eloquence and psthos of one whose
whole life has been darkenei BY its
deadly shadow. Real men and wo-
men-the story of real ivcs--the
sayings, the doings, the events of to-
day, among a class of our own coun-
trymen aud women, much talked of,
but little known, are painted before
US by this talented woman, with
touching fidelity; and when the read
er lays down the volume, his only re-
greet is, that he has arrived at the
last page. The book possesses all
the vivacity and thrilling interest of
the finest works of fiction. In point
of mechanical skill, it could not be
surpassed. The binding is elegant
and substantial; the illustrations, on
wood and steel, are costly, and finely
executed; and altogether it is one of
those subscription books, which one
SO rarely meets, which give the pur-
chaser full value for his money.
This work will be sold only to
those who order OF J. w. Letters,
agent for Upton. who will so IN intro
duce it t, our citizens. We bespeak
for it a most cordial rcception--for it
is worthy of It.
