Advices from South America, which
arrived at New York yesterday from
Aspinwall, state that the Jewish college
in Buenos Ayres has been completely
burned, and that some Of the riDg-lead-
eIs of the riot have been arrested. Three
priests are known TO have died. The
archbishop has returned to the city, and
the newspapers unanimously recon-
mended him to resign. The minister OF
foreign affairs, in circular addressed to
the legations abroad, says that the mob
was headed by Spanish priest. The
number Of killed does not exceed four,
no priest being among them. There
were, however, some priests wounded.

To BUILDERS AND CoNTRACToRs.-Bein
largely interested in the prosperity OF Wichi-
ia, have made arrangements with Hartle X
Longbottom to furnish stone aud lime at great
iy reduced prices.
The best lime will be sold at thirty-five cents
per bushel at their lime house near the depot,
and orders received for stone at from four to
five dollars per car according to quality, par
ties paying their own freight.
This arrangement does away with your men
who heretofore have made building material
so expensive that none but the rich man could
have foundation or cellar under his house.
Now it will come within the reach of all to
enjoy the luxury OF good cellar.
l will promise you good, full car loads Of
stone, and the very best Of lime.

There has been less curb-stonc farming done
in Wichita this season than at any time since
the town was discovered. The consequence
of thus sighting the curb stones dry-goods

with immense patches of ycowish looking
grain which demands much labor and sw cat,
and the wearing out of many machines to cut
down and clear of. Why is this thus?
