The great expense of living at New
port is not entirely dependent oil the
original cost of a mans house, the style
in which he keeps it, or the entertaining
he does, but to great degree on the ex-
tortion practicel. Every Newport
tradesman starts with the idea that no
one would take house here for the
summer unless they have more money
than they know what TO do with, and
want to throw it away. Your grocer,
butcher. baker and iceman all ask fabu-
lous and unheard of prices for their
wares. and SO much pront is there to be
made out of custom, that some friend of
mine told me last summer that they
were supplied amply for three days at
ter their arrival, by all sorts of trades
people, who left their goods without
asking for payment, merely rs samples
to obtain their patronage. If you want
your horse shod it is folly to expect to
have it done at less than twice the ordi-
nary cost, and woe be to the household
who come here unprovided with neces-
essary articles for houseKee ping, ii they
want to remedy the deficiency. This, of
course, is only in summer; in winter
there is a different scale of prices.

CINCINNATI, May 27. 1875.
To the editor OF the "Cincinnati Daily
Volksblatt:"
1t Will probably be known to you that
l regularly receive your paper, but have
always been required to see myself des-
ignaled on the most trivial occasion as
the murderer of Schilling, whereas other
papers, in many small matters, only use
the name of A. Egner. Although have
been branded as such by the Court, but
am not according to my inward knowl-
edge, feel greatly grieved at the many
useless mentionings OF the name MUIR
derer. l base myself especially on the
case before the Probate Court, according
to which, in your paper of to-day (27th J,
/ am broadly and plainly shown to the
public as the murderer of Sohilling, al.
though this court matter had nothing to
do with my affair.
request you, therefore, to spare me
and my family from such publications.
Yours, A. EGNER.

AT WORCESTER, MASS.

WORCESTER, MASS, May 29.-At Wor-
pester, Mass, the most destructive fire
that was ever experienced in this city
took place here last evening. At eight
O'Clock an alarm sounded and at the
Bame moment the flames were seen in
the fourth story OF Taylor's block, on
Main street, opposite the old South
ehurch. The block was completed three
years ago at an expense OF nearly $3.50, 900.
The fire originated in the upper story
Of John Challor's extensive fumative
warehouse which was crowded with in
namabie material through which the
Hames spread with great rapidity.
The entire fire department was soon
bn the ground, but its efforts were un-
kvailing, except to protect the surround
Ing property. The flames soon spread
to the rear Of the building, which at one
time was one solid mass Of flames. The
three upper stor1es and contents were
entirely destroyed. The lower floors
we're also ruined, and the entire block
will have to be rebuilt again to have it
complete. Two stores in the south end
pf the block were occupied by Clark,
Sawyer Il Co., extensive .crockery, glass
and chinaWare dealers.
Their loss from fire and water is large
and difficult at present to estimate.
John d. Challon's loss on furniture and
material probably reaches $60,0O0. Sew
Bral other. parties, occupying rooms in
the upper story over Clark, Sawyer e.
Go. sustain smaller losses. The total
loss will reach nearly $3O0,OOO. The real
and personal property is understood to
be well covered by insurance in Hart
ford, foreign and local companies.
