OsKALoosA FIKE.--Our enterprising
neighbor, Oskaloosa, was visited by
another destructive fire on the 18th
inst. The Herald extra Of that date
says:
This morning about 3 o'clock, our
citizens were aroused from their slum-
beers by the dread alarm of fire, which
proceeded from the northwest corner
Of the square. When first discovered
IL had gained good Roadway la the
building formerly occupied by Phelps
d Gould. The building was unoccu-
pied in the main part, the narrow
room being used by Lewis Frank as u
cigar store. On the north was the
brick s,ore-room Of "A NJ. Rodgers oc-
cupied by Levi Hambleton as u dry
goods store. The rear part of that
building was frame, and occupied by
Hanibleton. ~ u grocery. On the
south of the building was the frame
house occupied by Henry Prices jew
elry store. The fire spread both ways
amp soon both buildings were beyond
all hope. The few who were OH the
streets carried out HanhIeton's goods
in the lower floor, though he lost all
his carpets and other goods above.
The fire engine was soon on the
ground and repaid for itself several
times in the effective service IL rem
dered. The boys worked like heroes,
az also did those of No 2. But for the
effective work Of the firemen and
bucket brigade, the whole west side,
the Bashaw and Budd Livery barns
aud probably half the town would
have burned. When the frame build
ing occupied by by Price WAS on fire,
the solitary hook belonging to the lire
department Was brought out and fight
made to save Frankels brick, occupied
10y Dodge's boot aud shoe store, Frank
el d Co.'S clothing store aud bank.
When we remember that but three
feet separated the buildings. that n
wooden stairway with kindling wood
shed over occupied it, with the OPEN
ings on that side unprotected, the des-
perate nature of the fight may be par.
tially understood. 1t long hung In
the balance. during which time NIL
the goods from Dodg-'s and Frankel's
stores were removed, but finally, BY
the aid of the engine aud bucket brig
ade 1t was conquered. Cook 4 Hunt
occupied the front room over Hanlhle-
ton Is store, o.and saved most of their
books and furniture. Rounds & Nc
Carly, dentists, occupied the room in
rear of Cook d Hunt, and lost every
thing.
Tie fire crossed the alley into the
wooden nest around the Bndd barn,
but tile engines saved all but the build
ings used as an office.

Miners Strike in Pennsylvania

ST. LOUIS, November 11.-Tbe coal-mi-
ners' strike at st. Clair county, opposite this
city, continues. A meeting was held yes
terday, at which it was resolved that work
in all the mines in Bellevile district be sus.
pended until every company In it accedes and
sill non-uuion men Join the miners union and
are governed by the same laws. The strike
is for a uniform price Of four cents per
bushel for digging (eight hours labor) and
just weight. The union miners also in
sist that all non-unon men, or bllcklegs as
they are called, shall join the union. There
is great deal OF uneasiness in Belleville,
and considerable apprehension felt that
trouble, if not bloodshed, will follow. To
avoid this, if possible, a militia company has
been formed and arms have been received
from the State. The miners assert that they
do not intend to resort to violence, but are
determined to hold out till their demands
are acceded to.

The Circulation or other than National
Bank Notes.

WAsHIyGToN, November 11.-Treasurer
Spinner In his annual report says that con-
stant complaints have been made and are be-
ing made that the laws made to restrain the
issuing and circulation of notes other than
those authorized By act Of Congress are
evaded In large sections of the country, aud
In many localities they are utterly disregard
ed. He says: The latter Is particularly true
OF the South, and particularly so in the States
OF Georgia and Alabama. Most of these vio-
.iations of law are by municipalities and by
manufacturing companies. can speak Of
this evil from personal experience and obser-
Yation. In localities at the South almost the
entire circulations consist of such local issues
that are put upon everybody in change, and
unless used in the place of issue are worth
less to the holder. This is particularly true
OF the fractional currency. For this there
has never been the poor excuse that there
was not currency enough, as the amount
authorized by law has never been issued
from the Treasury, being restricted and re-
duced by the issue and circulation, in viola
tion of law, Of this iilegitimate and almost
worthless currency. Now that banking
under the national system is measurably
free, that excuse will not hold as to the issue
OF notes of one dollar and upward. By IN
act of March 26, 1867, it is enacted that
every national banking association, State
bank, or banker, or association, shall pay a
tax of ten (10 per centum on the amount of
notes Of any town, city, or municipal corpo-
ration, paid out by them.
This enactment does not reach the root Of
the evil. The law should be so amended and
changed as to compel the payment Of the
tax by municipalities, companies, or indi-
yiduals, who make the original issue Of such
unauthorized circulating notes. Bankers
and businessmen at the South assured me
that even such tax would not prevent the
issue Of this kind of currency, and that the
only efectual way to abolish the nuisance
would be to declare the issuing Of any kind
Of obligation with view to its circulation
as money q misdemeanor, punishable by
fine or imprisonment, or both, by any court
having cognzance thereof"
