IN ORANGE BIT.
To the Editor Of The Commercial:
see in the columns Of Eoery Eoening, on
Monday evening, Feb. 18th. that the fire in the
carpenter shop on Orange St., above 9Th, was
extinguished without the aid of the
Fire Department by colored man pulling
out the shayings from under the door.
In the first place. the fire was in the middle Of
the floor +; 30 it would not do much good to pull
shavings from under the door. The Friendship
hose carriage was taking up their line Of hose
at the fire above Sixth street when some one
gave the alarm above s h street, so they took
the carriage and hurried to the scene and had a
line Of hose ready before any one got in the
building from the street. Then they pulled
the door open and carried the fire out into the
street without putting on any water which was
not required The Pbemx also had line of
hose laid. A FIREMAN

PRoF. KIDS ELocUTIoNARy ENTERTAINMENT.
Last evening, Prof Kidd gave very interest
ing and instructive exercise in reading and
elocuton, at Taylor's Academy, Sth and Woas-
ton streets, the lecture room being crowded
with very select and apprecative audience,
composed in great part of the parents and
friends of the pupils of the academy.
The exercises of the evening commenced at
73O, Mr.. Taylor introducing Prof. Kidd, who,
after few remarks on the culture of the voice
and the great necessity for the same, read a
selection from Hamlets instruction to the
Players" which was very finely rendered and
appreciated. 1.-THE Bells of Shandon Abbey u
was also given during the course of the evening,
which was very satisfactory, showing come OF
the changes and echoes which may be produced
by the voice of an accomplished speaker The
exercises closed at $50, and we are sure Prof.
Kidd received the hearty thanks of all present.

The General Outlook.

Whether the expectations which
have been entertained Of an improved
condition of trade for the present year
are to be realized or not the next nine-
ty days will determine. That these
hopes of revival have not been san
guine is true, but the disappointment
which may follow their non-falfllpent
will be none the less serious. With
the exception Of a few important 10
calities, the agricultural production
has been unusually large, and the IA
vorable prices that prevail for several
leading products ought tostimulate an
early realization. The movement of
crops is the old fashioned legitimate
machinery by which 20 get money into
circulation, and thus increase the pur-
chasing and debt-paying power Of the
people, especially in the agricultural
localities. That this would be vital
step toward improgemeutin trade none
viii deny, following as itdoes two years
of great economy, aud IN view also of
small stocks Of merchandise and ex-
ceptionally low prices for all staples.
Great manufacturing centres and i'm
portant importing interests ought to be
benefited by the absorption of aeeu-
mulated stocks of goods, and the whole
country should feel the thrill of new
life in business. A few weeks will de-
termine whether this viii be the effect
of an immense increase in the wealth
of vast producing class; and though
it will undoubtedly take many months
to realize this wealth, the operation by
which that realization will be carried
forward oughts soon to be manifest and
the probable result pretty definitely
anticipated. We are, therefore, on the
eve of most important and critical
season in the commercial history of the
country, aud close observers will watch
with some anxiety the indications
which the next few weeks will afford.

The California Bank Rupture.


The failure Of the great gold bank
at San francisco seems TO have fallen
upon the financial community quite as
unexpectedly as that Of Duncan, Shef-
man x Co, and it should be remem-
bered that it was much larger affair,
its paid-up capital being Eve million
dollars gold. 1t issued no notes, be-
ing bank of deposit. exchange and
discount only. There are no note
holders to suffer, and it is given out
that ample assets remain to meet the
claims Of depositors. The suspension
will be less felt over the country than
that Of Duncan, Sherman & Co, but
the result on the Pacific Coast may be
all the more disastrous for that reason,
its business being mainly confined
to that region. We need not go
far to find the actual cause of the fail
ure. Every sensible man knew that
somebody must be ultimately hurt by
the hetremendous speculation in rainiug
stocks inaugurated by the famous '.big
bonanza of silver. X appears the
Gold Bank indulged largely in this
outside business, and really failed as
amining speculator rather than as a
bank. In the latter capacity it mani-
tested the most remarkable strength
even to the end, paying out over its
counter 81 ,400, 600 in the very day it
closed. This amounted to one-third
of its capital. The immediate cause of
the enormous run" on the bank,
which constituted the immediate cause
of its SUSPENSION. has not yet beenex-
planned by the telegraph Union and

The eenpeetleut Tobacco Crop.

The Hartford Times says, owing to
the continued and regular afternations
of eopioSs rains and hot sun since the
third week of J July, and especially dur
ing the last twenty days, the growth of
the tobacco ip thts, the best section of
the tobacco growing EsEiop Of the Con-
necticut Valley, has really been some
thing remarkable. Previous to the
third week of July the crop was gen
orally rather backward; in particular
fields unusually so. Now, the tobacco
is in remarkably fine condition, and
we have never seen it looking better.
A few growers in East Hartford and
ueighboring places have already begun
cutting it. Some began as early as the
middle of August, but the great bulk
ofthe crop will not be cut before about
the 10th Of September or later. 1t is
a large crop this year. We judge that
in South Windsor, Sufield, Windsor,
East Hartford and Glastonbury, the
area planted in tobacco will exceed
that of last year. 1t is too soon to pro-
pounee positively upon the quality (;
but the indications are that the crop of
1875 will be very good one also in
that respect.

Up Cumberland Tobacco.

More farmers have called on US and
given encouraging reports Of the rap
idly improving prospects of the toOac-
CO crops than of any crop this year.
They say their first cuttings are light
but that the late tobacco is thicken,
ing up finely and will make good to
baeco. 1T is an i'll WIND that blows
no good" aud fortunately for the farm
ers great deal of their early tobacco
was eaten by grasshoppers and as many
as four or Eve paintings we're made be-
fore a stand could be obtained. Con-
sequently a large proportion Of the
crop is late, aud will therefore stand
every chance of being excellent

OUR TINY.

She was but such a tiny thing -
When first she came TO u.s.
So very wonderfully small, g.
To give her any name at all
Did seem ridiculous.
Dressed in her little clothes, she look ed
No bigger than a doll;
We thought she was the dearest pet,
That ever ever lived, but yet
She had no name at all.
"Let's call her Tiny" papa said, tN
One night when home he came;
ashes such a tiny thing herself, %
And very much too small an elf .ts 81
For any other name"
We all agreed twas just the thing,
None better could there be; ,f
So"Tiny" was the baby's name,
And still we call her just the same,
Though now she's over three.
When six months old she was baptized
- And had onother name SO
A very sweet name for our pet
"Flora Mary 'twas-and vet
We call her just the same.
For very tiny still she Is,
With tiny hands and feet,
A tiny face with golden curls.
And teeth that looked like tiny pearls.
In tiny mouth SO sweet. if.
Tiny words OF love she speaks.
And tiny kisses gives tsnt -
She is our little sun beam bright, go7f
She makes us glad from morn till night.
That precious Tiny lives.

Now, | propose to recapitulate and
mention in few words about all that
/ have said as being necessary to make
farming pay. First, have good farm,
good stock, good farm tools, and good
wife who can preside with dignity In
the kitchen as we'll as in the parlor.
Then have good comfortable shelter
and place for them all, keeping every
thing in its place Especially the wife),
stay at home and give close and good
attention to all (your wife iaeiuded),
at working time, at feeding time and at
all other times. Plow deep. and cul-
tivate your land we'll before planting,
and cultivate your crops we'll after
planting. Do not depend upon any
one or two kinds of crops, but raise
variety of all kinds that you can fnd
market for, or that you may need
yourself, buying as little as possible of
anything that your soil and climate
will produce. After you have COM
pleted a crop. savei it at the proper time,
which is as soon as 1t 10 ready to save.
Sell when you have reason to believe
that the market is at its highest, and
in order to keep better posted about
this than you would otherwise be. take
two good newspapers which will ma
