THE farmers of the county have gener-
ally finished sowing their small grains,
and are now blowing for corn. The indi-
cations are that the breadth of wheat sown
will not be SO large as usual. The lessons
of last fall and winter are not lost on our
farmers, and many of them are now fully
convinced that stock, hogs especially,
even at low rate in the market are more
profitable than wheat.

A CRITICAL SITUATION AND A GALLANT
REsCUE.-Our readers will remember the
painful tragedy of little over q year ago
wherein four persons suffered Il terrible
death in the flames of burning building,
on the west side of the river. They will
also remember how on that occasion one
of our citizens, Mr.. NJ. J. Baker, impelled
by "a generous Impulse to save the unfor-
tunate inmates Of the house. and regard
less of every consideration of his own
safety, mounted a ladder, crept into the
chamber occupied by the family, filled as
it was with smoke so dense and deadly
that he had to keep his mouth close to
the floor to breathe, and in this situation,
at the imminent peril of his life, CROPPED for
the unfortunate victims of the calamity,
finally bringing forth one of the women,
but already dead from asphyxia. A deed
SO daring and unselish was the theme of
grateful remark at the time of it; and
now we have to relate another of like
nature by the same individual.
Mr.. Baker is a mason, and was employ
ed by Mr.. S. s. Clark, this week, to repair
cistern at his residence on the west side.
The cistern had been cleaned out by Mr..
Clark, who, to dry il, had placed in it a
pan of burning charcoal. When Mr..
Baker and his assistant, u young man
named Kline, came, the latter Immediately
descended into the cistern. In a very
short time the deadly gas evolved from
the charcoal overcame him, and he fell as
if dead, with froth coming from his
mouth. Instantly Mr.. Baker jumped down
into the cistern, and being strong, Wig.
orous man, with capacious lungs, he was
able to withstand the effects of the gas
until he could tie rope around young
Kline, and by the assistance Of the ladies
of the house and Mr.. Blood, who was
passing, hoisted him out into the open air.
BY this time Mr.. Baker himself began to
feel the effects of the gas, and called out
sharply for relief The rope was lowered
to him, and he was hauled out not mo-
ment too soon. A very few minutes longer
and he would himself have fallen victim
TO his generous courage Kline was to all
appearances dead when extricated from
the perilous trap, but in the fresh air soon
revived, and is as we'll as usual.

Our MARKET REpoRT-We take spec
ial pride in the absolute correctness in the
reports of our markets appearing each
week in the BULLETIN. The greatest
pains are taken to have them accurate
Dealers in the different lines, of well
known standing and integrity, are respon-
sible for the figures given, and they may
be accepted by parties abroad as true
index of the market here on the day of
publication. Speaking Of the markets,
the price of wheat quoted for the past few
weeks, shows y. steady rise in that pro-
duct. The same is true of corn, oats and
hogs, while almost every thing that the
farmer has to sell is firm at the prices
quoted. Farmers can rely upon our
dealers paying all that the market will al
low for produce of all sorts. There is no
market more reliable and uniform on this
line of road.

SALOON LICENSES. City Council at
its session on Monday evening, by a vote
of six to four, took another step toward
the reduction of saloon licenses This
step was resolution instructing the City
Attorney to frame an amendment to the
present license ordinance, to the effect
that saloons north of Gencssee street, and
west of Division street, shall have their
licenses reduced to 800 per annum; and
all others remain as they are. The final
action ON the matter will come up at the
next meeting of the Council. Although
we cannot predict precisely what that
action will be, yet the indications point to
determination on the part of the majority
to push this matter of the reduction of
saloon licenses through in spite of all
obstacles and all protests of whatever
name or nature. If we shall be disap-
pointed in this surmise, it will give US
pleasure. The public should know, how
ever, in the meantime, that there is not a
name signed to petition before the Coun-
Gil asking this reduction of licenses, while
on the other hand, there is remonstrance
on file against the reduction, signed by
by nearly three hundred of the most re-
spectacle and influential people of this
city. The number of signers could have
been doubled and more, but the signatures
attached to the remonstrance were deemed
sufficient to indicate the drift of reputable
public sentiment upon the question So
let it be understood before hand, that if
the Council make the change in the ordi
nance contemplated, it will be in Difference
to the demand of, perhaps, a half-dozen
saloon keepers, and in defiance of the
wishes of the great bulk of the community
not engaged in vending liquors. We do
not say that the Council will do this thing,
but if it does, it is well to know the cir.
cumstances under which it is done Our
City Fathers have, under other circum-
stances, displayed sensitiveness to public
opinion that was almost ludicrous tor its
timidity and indecision. 1t remains to be
seen whether they can only stiffen up to
act independently of public opinion when
a demand is made in behalf of the saloon
interest. We shall have more to say on
this topic as things develop.

groups and discussed the situation, all asserting
in the most positive terms that they VIII not,
no matter what the pay offered, consent to the
lengthening oil the days service beyond the legal
rule OF eight hours. They are confident that
as tue pressure OF WORK comes the
bosses Will De obliged TO come TO the
