Watertown City Debt Association.

Tie members of the WATERFOWL City
Debt Association held meeting at lower
Turner Hall last Thursday evening. The
meeting was largely attended and much
interest was manifested by all present over
the proceedings. From the report of the
officers it would seem that the Asso-
citation has made good progress in the
work Of liquidation since its organization.
The aims and purposes Of the Association
are sound, and the object sought to be at
tanned by the organization should meet the
apprseal of every citizen who has the well
fare and prosperity of the city at heart.
The following resolution was passed at the
meeting:
Rssolped, That all the subscribers to
the Watertown City Debt Association who
have not paid their first installment must
pay the same within ten days after Thurs
day, April Goth, and all those that have
not paid their I'd installment, must pay
the same within thirty days from the above
date, Or the treasurer is hereby authorized
to strike their names from the collection
book.
1t must now be apparent to all that our
difficulties are not so insurmouutable but
that they can be overcome if the proper e.
fort is made and we stand united in pur-
pose to obtain just and honorable settle
ment with our creditors. 1t is proposed
to hold meetings of the Association more
frequently hereafter, which to our mind is
good idea. There can be nothing lost by
thoroughly canvassing our matters and hay
ing al interchange of views.

WASHINGTON, July 22.--The Govern
or of Mississippi telegraphed that he
has sent the President by mail, a state
ment Of the condition of affairs at Vicks-
burg which leads him to apprehend a
disturbance of the peace which, owing
to the militia being unorganized he
would be unable to suppress. The
mayor and postmaster of Vicksburg
have on the other hand telegraphed to
the President protesting against send
ing troops to that city, as such an act
would have the effect of in creasing the
excitement as there are no indications
of an outbreak.
Yesterday the Secretary of War or

to Vicksburg as their presence might

withstanding the large receipts. Lots.

at So 90 to $3.50 bushel, while choice
lots went quick at $3.50 to $2.75. Some
of these last, which were packed in
double crates of quart boxes, each crate
holding 20 to "a boxes, if they had not

local demand was good, but the market
was kept up by large orders from other
towns by mail and telegraph.

Horses VS.. Cows and Sheep.

The first named stand out in conspic-
uous superiority as agricultural stock
for breeding by gentlemen farmers and
retired merchants or professional gen.
tlemen or the sons Of either inheriting
their property having incomes without
cause for further accumulation Tor
those capitalists want amusement, and
the breeding, raising and training OF
such animals as would command very
high figure among the class of men they
belong to, would give zest to the enjoy
ment of their fortunes, giving a taste
for country life and thereby preventing
the questionable excitement and specu-
lation in forming monopolizing compa-
MES, &C., called ''rings," for taking ad-
vantage Of the public. Many Of the
members Of rings and monopolists have
worse dispositions and are bigger
rogues than any in Sing Sing, and it
looks bad for the future of the United
States to see how much ill-gotten
wealth is used in bribery and corrup-
ton to attain ends adverse to the COM
munity at large but to fraudently en-.
rich few.
Therefore, as the breeding of trott-
ing or sporting horses is calculated to
cause the common farmer to neglect the
other stock and may serve to give the
sons contempt for the less exciting
duties appertaining to the herds and
flocks, it would be fortunate if the rails
ing of sporting animals could be chiefly
confined to the wealthy class who have
: no business which can suffer by theil
devoting time and attention to all con
nected with the training and racing o
fast horses.
Farmers could breed the fine draugh
horses, and, take an average of years
do better than being confined to COW
and sheep, for mixed stock raising il
best if persevered in; for if one kind i
down in price another will probably b
up. Besides on all farms devoted t.

Monkey Sagacity.

It was a wild and dreary part Of the
country, on the plains Of India, while
journeying, that one day a friend and
self sat down under the shade of ban
yam tree. We were enjoying meal of
various edibles when we we're disturbed
by the arrival and the noise of a troop
Of large, black-faced monkeys. The
branches overhead literally swarmed
with them. They looked on us as in
terlopers, no doubt; and for some time
their gestures appeared SO menacing
that we were apprehensiye they would
dispute the ground with us. We had
Just risen from our meal, when, to our
surprise, one Of the monkeys Ia young
one) fell down from a high branch at
our feet. 1t was quite dead. The
clamor that arose above us on the oc-
currence Of this calamity was deafening.
The whole assembly of monkeys clus-
tered together for confab. Long and
loud were the gatherings and various
the grimaces of the tribe, each individ-
+, ual vieing with the other in the loud
ness Of his tongue. Their looks and
gestures made it apparent that they
suspected US of being the cause of the
death of their juvenile comrade. But
we were unarmed, and the good sense
Of the monkey seemed to tell them that
there must be some other culprit. Hav-
ing come to this conclusion, one mon
key, apparently the senior and leader
of the whole tribe, separat-
ed himself from the rest, ran
to the spot on the beach whence the
young monkey had fallen, examined it
carefully, smelt the branch, and then
gided nimbly down one of the pillars
or pendant roots. and came to the
corpse of the monkey, took it up, ex-
amined it minutely, particularly the
shoulder, where there was a small
wound. Instinct Immediately turned
suspicion into certainty. He placed the
corpse on the ground again, and. turn
ing his gaze in every direction. endeav
ored to pierce the foliage in his search
for the murderer. After little Will,
, something seemed to rivet hisattention.
t In an instant he had mounte d the tree
sprung to the spot, and with one clutcf
had seized long whip-snake, will
e which he fastened to the ground. Nov

ANOTHER CHlCA60 FIRE

State street, occupied by E. F. Hollister
& Co., dealers in carpets, and Giles
Bros. & Co., jewellers, and before it
could be extinguished consumed every
thing. The origin is not known. As
these were very heavy business firms
the loss is large. The amounts with in
surance will be given in another dis
patch.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The building in which the fire oc-
Cured this morning cost 100000 in
1872. The insurance is not yet ascer-
tanned.
The stock of Giles Bros. & Co., Jew
elers, is valued at $4,000; insured for
nearly half or 100000 worth. Their
stock was in the vaults.
E. F. HOLSTER, furniture manufactu.
rer and carpet dealer, loses about
$4,000; insured.
Richards, Shaw & Winslow lose
through damaged stock about $50, 900
fully insured.
The firms on the other side Of the
street suffered by breaking glass loss
of about $4,000.
The following are the assurances a
far as known:
On Giles Bros.'s stock, in the Frank
lin National, of New Orleans, Amer
lea and Home, Of New York, $1,000
each; in the Citizens, Hrrvard, Man

Phoenix and Brooklyn, $4,000; VII
liamsburg City, $4,000.
The building was insured in tn
Home, of New York, for $4,000.
The total loss is probably quarter {
a million, and the insurance. as far a
ascertained, $4,000.
