i, ATTEND TO IT.

i The census-takers have, it is said, prog.
ressed very far owards the completion Of
their labors. So far the report seems to indi.
cate large falling off in the number of voters
from tho registration of last year. The ques-
tion naturally arises a. to why this is the case
One reason suggested is that many people are
absent from the city. While this is doubtless
the osse. yet We do not imagine that SO many
OF our citizens are away ~ to create so marked
difference between the registration last year
and the census this.
We fear that the importance Of prompt at
tntion to tho filing up Of blanks is not fully
Impressed upon the minds Of large numbers
Of our people. Many seem to think that there
IL no particular hurry about the matter, and
that they can afford to take their time in at
tending to it Many others seem to believe
that it viii be useless to trouble themselves
much about \, as the machinery of the plan
il the hands Of their political enemies, who
purpose vcsking it entirely to their own ad-
vantage.
Whilst this is doubtless ina measure true,
yet it viii assoredly not pay for us to relax
our endeavors to make the most of what
chances We have. The business Of filing up
the blanks left at our residences is a matter
OF not more than half an hour, and if

yield the field entirely to those whom we
have reason TO believe will use every possible
opportunity to take advantage of their

color therefore. for dark colored fruits, light
tinted foliage should be used, and for lght-ool.

OF black grapes, plums, or fruits Of like tint,

The burning Of 11o.cnxy

The burning Of Moscow, in 1872 is one of the
most noted CONGREGATIONS ON record, not only on
account Of its magnitude, but for its historical
Importance. The French entered the city Sep
temoer 18th, Napoleon proposing to make it his
winter quarters. On that very day several fires
broke out, but little attention was paid TO them
by the invading army until the next two DAYS,
when they had acquired great hesdway. On the
lth nigh wind arose. and the flames spread
rapidly in every direction; by the 18th the whole
city appeared q sea Of flame, and by the evening
OF the 10th nine-tenths Of it was reduced to
ashes. The total number Of buildings destroyed
u stated at between 1900 and ii, 600. The
hussians Of the time, in order to cast odium on
The French, attributed this conhAgration to the
orders OF Napoleon. 1t is now however, general
y acknowledged that the fires were the work Of
the Russians themselves, and that thew we're
h!ndied by the orders Of the governor
Rostoptchin, acting beyond all doubt under
the sanction OF the Emperor Alexander,
without which it il hardly conceivable
that the governor would have vsntured such a
step. The object was to deprive the French
army OF shelter form the winter. Ample pre-
cautions had boon taken to insure the entire
obstruction Of the city. Inhammable materials
we're placed IN deserted mansions In every quar-.
Ter, and the torch was applied simultaneously all
over the city. In burning the French out OF the
proposed winter quarters no provision had been
made for the safety Of the inhabitants, VIII owere
driven TO seek shelter in the surrounding woods
and It is affirmed that more than 90 900 sick and
wounded persisted in the flames. The direct loss
70 the french Is put down At 40, 000 and beyond
this it in the end involved the retreat In the
oead OF winter, and the almost complete Annihi-
lation OF the great French army. This act which
the Russians at the time repudiAted is now con-
sidered by them as their highes. glory. the great
