TheFourth.

In our city the day never passeu
so quietly before, and it usually
passes almost unnoticed. During
the ay,however,a few little shindies
occurred. A very high wind pre-
vailed all day, and it was, perhaps
fortunate that there was no greater
pyrotechnical display during the
day, otherwise a disastrous fire
might have resulted.
In East Toledo a disastrous fire
resulted from the carless use Of fire
crackers. Six buildings were de-
strOyed.
At Buffalo eight persons vent out
in sail boat, and after while cap
sized the boat. Four Of the party
were drowned.
The 18th Ohio re-uned at Woos-

In many cities business was al
most entirely suspended, though no
public celebration occurred.
In New York military parades,
meetings of the societyof Cincinnati,
excur sions fires fatal accidents and
numerous other accidents completed
the days routine.
At Cincinnati Gov. Allen deliverd
an address before the Pioneer As
sociation. The military paraded.
Fire crackers caused six alarms of
fire, but no serious conhagrations.
AtSt. Louis the Illinois and st.
Louis bridge was formally opened,
with great pomp and display. City
full of people. Immense procession
and display, which took five hours
to pass any given point The dis
play of fire, works in the evening
from the bridge, though fine was not
immense, and provoked criticism.
A terrible storm visited Washing
ton City. Trees in the parks were
blown down, carriages in the streets
overturned, houses unroofed, a hall
blown down, and Metropolitan M. E.
Church steeple blown five feet from
perpendicular.
At Harrisburg railroad bridge
with 2Icars on it was blown down,
and a furnace was partially blown
down, killing three men.
At Circleville a frecracker started
a S25, 900 fire. The market house
and ten dwellings were destroyed.
At Pontiac Illinois, q firecracker
started a fire which burned $1,000
worth of property. The court house
and some of the finest blocks in the
town were destroyed.
Firecrackers thrown into a car
penter shop in Allegheng City, star
ted q fire which consumed over one
hundred houses, and produced much
destitution. 1t required the fire de-
partments of both Allegheny City
and Pittsburgh to subdue the fire.
Chicago records one death and
four fatal injuries from celebrating,
together within umerous less serious
affairs.
At Ripley, Ohio, Charles Swisher,
who had been forbidden to pay at
tention to the daughter Of John Cos
lett, was discovered in the parlor by
the father, between ten and eleven
o'clock at night. He was ordered
of, and after some difficulty left, the
girl going with him. Her brothers
John and Taylor pursued to bring
her back, when SWisher fired upon
them and wounded Taylor so that
he died. SWisher had not been cap
tured at last accounts.
At StubenYille, q terrific storm
prevailed in the evening. A steam
boat was blown and nearly upset.
Heavy hail storm prevailed and much
damage done to fruit and crops.
These are only few of the
occurrences on the Fourth.

What is better? ? To sell your wheat at
a fair price, get the money and put it at in
terest. thereby getting something for it. and
keeping it in circulation to help the rest of
community; or, to hold the grain, in hopes of
getting heavier price, and eventually selling
it at loss after holding it six months, thus
losing on the price, losing the interest, and
losing the chance of helping your neighbors
while helping yourselves. Every bushel of
grain disposed Of now, is subject to just those
losses. Take it as rule, whenever man
can realize fair profit on actual cost, then is
his time to sell and properly invest his means.

OUR MANUFACTURING HRVs
Leading Business Houses
Two More Business Enterprises.

Two More Business Enterprises.
It would be difficult to discover in any com
munity greater advantages than competent
butchers and bakers-dealers in the staple
commodities of life. The grocer, the tailor,
the shoemaker, are alike excellent in their
way, and highly necessary as caterers to our
daily comforts and actual necessities, but
without the butcher and baker to keep the
body and soul together our weak frames would
soon lack the need of other things. Hence it
is fitting opportunity for congratulation
when we find new meat markets springing up
and efficient practical butchers at the head Of
them. And such is our privilege this week.
Mr.. GEORGE HELT, formerly Of the firm of
Cohn & Helt, Front street), having opened
two neat and commodious stores on State
street, known as the City Meat Markets. One
is located between the Kessier House and the
bridge, and the other is up the Pike, near Mr.
Shines grocery, both being amply provided
with ice chests, or coolers, and presenting
remarkable neat and wholesome appearance
having recently undergone reftting and paint
ing. Mr.. Helt, more Familiarity known as
George, is an excellent butcher, having had
ample experience, extending'ovsr a period Of
fifteen years, In New York-probably the best
school the country could produce for the ac-
quirement Of an energetic disposition and the
cultivation OF business habits. Though be
has only been a resident among US less than
two years, George has made many friends, his
accustomed courtesy and genial society being
universally appreciated. During the past year
he was in business with Mr.. Cohn, but by
mutual consent the partnership was recently
dissolved, and George is thus now found en-
barked In business on his own account. He
is an excellent judge Of cattle and no grudger
of cent to secure the best Of animals. It is
his intention to buy and kill all his cattle per-
sonally, and as far as possible, give his indi-
vidual attention to his customers. he will
slaughter every day, and viii gladly and
promptly deliver in any part Of the city what
ever orders he may be favored with Corned
beef, picked tongue, bolOgnas, &C., he win
keep constantly in stock and warrant their
curing or manufacture after the best modern
| process. George is steady, hardWOrking and
worthy fellow, and We hope to see him sue
ceed in full ratio with his indefatigable efforts
We know Of no tradesman we can COM
mend to patronage with greater assurance Of
| giving satisfaction. Give him trial.

Killed by the Cars--Michael Butter, a
grocer at Bellevue, was killed by the cars on
the night of the 3Oth. He was passing along
the track with some friends, and was looking
at picnic party in Harkness's grove, when Of
a sudden he stepped in front of the 9:42 train,
and was instantly killed. He was engaged to
a Miss Enright, who stood at the time within
a hundred feet of where her lover was killed,
among the picnicers. His body was taken to
Monroeville for interment.

rhe Republioan Party.

In a recent issue, in speaking OF
the present status of the Republican
party, Harper's weekly says:
No student of our political history
will deny that the Republican party
shows within its ranks both an indie
pendence of criticism, ,and areadiness
of reform which no other great and
dominant party has ever shown, and
which is a good sign of its real vital
ity, and an augury of its continued
and deserved supremacy. The Dem
ocratic party, which was so long in
the ascendant, became steadily more
and more corrupt, more and more
besotted with slavery, scorning the
chance which Douglas offered it of
assuming a virtue that it did not
have, until it sunk beneath the wrath
and contempt of the people. But it
is the praise of the Republicans that
their press denounces most strenu-
ously maladministration of every
kind, and that the Congress which
they control scrutinizes impartially
and severely the conduct of admins
tratiYe officers, and that Republican
officers are removed and Republican
laws repealed when such action is
plainly proper.

Southwest Minnesota Devoured as

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 2.-GoYernoI
Davis to-day issued a circular to the
Grangers of this State, in which be
says, 81 am compelled to ask the CO.
operation of each Grange of your
powerful organization in relieving
the destitution of our felloW-citizens
in the southwestern counties. That
region has been traversed by trust
worthy men, and they report unan-
imously q destitution which has no
parallel in our history as a State.
The time for silence as to this con-
dition of affairs has passed by, and
the time for prompt and liberal ac-
tion by all who are willing to do as
they would be done by has arrived.
The counties of Martin, Murray,
jackson, Cotton, Wood, portions Of
Noble and Houston, and possible to
some extent other counties, have
been swept by grasshoppers Of sll
crops, as completely as if by fire.
Women and children are suffering
gor food. The implements and
stock of the settlers are under mort
cages, given to tide over the priv
atoms Of last year. 1 have told the
people that their fellow-citizens,
whom a kind Providence has bless
ed with abundance, will stand by
them in this, their dire extremity.
Contributions in money are most
desirable, provisions and clothing
scarcely less so. Send contributions
to General II. Il. Sibley, st. Paul
Minnesota.
Although the Governor has not
asked for assistance from outside the
State, the contributions Of the be-
nevolent addressed as above will be
gratefully received and viii be sure
to aid in relieving the distress of a
people suffering for food from no
fault Of their own.

An outrage On the Lake:

Yesterday afternoon, says the Chi
cago Journal, Achille Meret invited
and prevailed upon Miss Sarah Ca
chu, of No. 246, Cottage Grove ave.
nue., to take row with him on the
lake. After getting some distance
out, it is alleged that he made i'm
proper overtures to the lady, which
she Indignantly repelled, whereupon
Achille attempted to violate her per
son. The screams of Miss Cachu
we're of no avail. Preferring death
to dishonor, and being driven to des-
peration, she plunged into the lake
In the meantime, some young fellows
that were fishing, had drifted slowly
toward the boat which contained
Achille and his helpless victim
They Immediately FASTENED to the
rescue, and succeeded in saving her
life, lifting the insensible girl from
the water into the beat. They took
the scoundrel into custody, and han
ded him over to the authorities
The young lady was conveyed to her
home. This morning Achille was
taken before Justice Boyden, who
held him to the criminal court in
bonds of 81, 500.
