BOSTON WOOL MARKET

BOSTON sept ).
The trade in wool continues very quiet, and
there is hardly enough doing to give foundation
to report. The country has sold a large share of
its combing woods, and the trade consists of odd
lots of fine feeces on which prices are tending
slightly downward. The Shipping List is of the
opinion that if fine wools go any lower there is
room for speculation in that line, but no disposi
ton to take hold for that purpose is manifested in
the east. Sales of Ohio and Pennsylvania at asa
soc for fine and medium grades; Wisconsin and
Michigan from 4Sai6C, aud cOmbing and delaine
feeces 50a55c, and 57a60c for combing; unwashed
combing and delaine 4Oa49c, but anything that
sells over 45c must be very choice selection.

IN the emergency of big fire, which is liable 10
occur any day the question agitates the mind Of
every property owner, what are we going to dO?'
About the only thing that can be done under the
present inefficient source ofprotection is to let 'er
burn. When our old water pipes burst in every
direction, with pressure Of but fifty to seventy
five pounds, we can depend on nothing, our Fire
Department could only stand idly by and see the
conhagration rage and even the steamer would
find it difcslt to get water in many parts of town
That's just where we stand in case of big fire.

rage was Immediately overturned and the occu.
pants thrown out with great force, All were
bruised more or less except one boy, and Mr.
Pence's arm was seriously hurt. AS soon as the
carriage upset, the team became frightened and
ran away at a desperate speed striking the mar
rows about 200 feet north of where their load was
spilled, and tearing along the narrow and uneven
Toad at frightlul rate. Mr., Pence and family
we've taken in the other vehicles and about half
mile above where the accident occurred, the
horses were found standing side by side in fence
corner, and the carriage was completely wrecked,
almost beyond any ability to repair. The escape
of the family was almost miraculous, as the road
is very hard and uneven, and their fall very hard,
and had the carriage upset only fifty orsxty yards
further along all would have been preCipitated
down a rocky bank into the creek.
