@- FIRE IN THE CoUSTkT.-We
learn from the Spirit that a summer
kitchen on the farm Of MIR. Jas. W.
Shirley, in occupancy of Capt. Geo. w.
Eugle, was destroyed by fire on Friday
morning week. A large quantity OF
bacon and some cloverseed were stored
in the building. Mrs Engle succeeded
in saving a portion of the bacon-burn-
ing herself slightly in doing so-but
about 400 pounds OF the meat and all
the cloverseed were lost. Capt. Engle
was some distance from the house at
the time of the conhagration, and
whilst fastening home was thrown
from his horse and his left arm injured.
The kitchen being detached from the
main dwelling, the timely assistance OF
neighbors saved it from injury. fire
was communicated to the kitchen from
the chimney on the outside.

A Surplus Of Loanable Funds at
the Banks.
New York Exchange Weaker..-More
Currency to the Country.
Provisions, Corn, and Oats Weak--~
Barley Demora1ized.
FINANCIAL.

Counter transactions were not as active as On the
preceding day, and the loan market showed no signs
OF increased animation. The clearings Of the
week, like the clearings of preceding weeks for
many months back, exhibit elrnkage when COM
pared with the corresponding figures Of last year.
This is the result of the decline Of prices and the
augmcnting dullness Of business. It Is useless to
attempt to conceal the fact that trade is depressed
md almost stasnant, except where it deals in the
very nccessaries OF life.
The loan market displayed its unvarying features
Of an accumu1ating surplus ofloanable funds. Not
enough new paper is made to replace that falling
due and paid. The demand from the country
banks is lcssenng, and city borrowers limit their
applications to their absolute necessities.
Rates Of discount arc sGl0 per cent to regular
customers. Independent borrowers can obtain
better terms.
On the street, good negotiable paper is in de-
mand. Rates are Gals per cent.
New York exchange was weaker, and sold be-
tween banks at par to 2ac per 81, 600 premium.
There were more orders from the country for
currency.

OTHER SOCIETIES.

Tuesday evening last the Grand Lodge Hall
was visited By more members than probably ercr
before gathered together In tue hall rs a subor-
dinatc Lodge, the cause being the comforting of
the Amplitcd Third Rank by Gauntlet Lodge,
No. 4, and an inspection Of the same by the
Grand Chancellor, together with dclega-
tion from Excelsior Lodge, No. 3, who {as an-
nounced last Sunday were on visitation.
The Grand Vice-C Chancellor and delegation
arrived at the hall at about AS p. H., ininc-
diately after which the comforting Of the Knight
rank upon two candidates was commenced, and,
by cutting some lectures somewhat short, the
Rank was completed by about II p. H., after
which the Grand Vice-C Chancellor addressed the
lodge briefly, and compli!nentcd Gauntlet
Lodge upon tho e1cellency OF its work, which,
he said, was "superior to any it had ever been
his pleasure to Witness" His opinion was that
the Order was destined to occupy prominent
place in secret aud beneficial societies at no very
distant day. His remarks were followed by
Chancellor Commander Cudabeck, Of Gauntlet,
thanking thedistingufshcd officer on behalf fof the
lodge for the visit and Informing him that the
comforting OF the Knight rank in aInpli1ed form
was only 1atc addtion by the lodge, and also

let, and others.

It was conferred Tuesday night, again during
this term, and to invite one or two other
lodges to witness the workings, as but one
other lodge in the city confers the A1nplitied
rank, consequently very many have never wit
messed it.
The grand reunion Of all the city lodges will
take place at Sharpshooters' Park June 13.
Preparations have been made to make this
pleasant aud enjoyable affair.
Members Of Excelsior Lodge No. 3, r. OF P,
will present themselves at their Castle-Hal1, No.
13 South Halsted street, Friday evening, in full
uniform, to receive the brethren OF Gauntlet
Lodge, No. 4, who will return the visit Of Ex-
eelsior Lodge last Tuesday evening by special
invitation from the Chancellor Commander and
officers of Excclsio: Lodge. Brethren Of the
Order cordially invited to be present.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Cnti1 recently there has
existed in Chicago what has been termed a GEN
eral Relief Committee, whose duty it was to re-
lieye distressed stranger brothers. This COM
mittee existed by general consent Of such
Lodges as chose to unite in it, and contribute
to its funds. Through the efforts Of this Com
1nittee great amount Of suffering has from
time to time been allaycd, and at slight ex-

THANKS "FR0M THE DEPTHS or THE

WELLINGTON, Loraine Co., O., Aug. "a, 1874.
Or. n. T. Pierce, Buffalo, ~ T.:
DEAR Sir: Your medicines, Golden Medical
Discovery, DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, hare
proved Of the greatest service to rue. Six
months ago no one thought that could posi-
bly, live long. I had complication Of dis
cases. -scrofula, manifesting itself in eruptions
and great blotchcs on my head that made such
sores that could not hare my hair combed
without causing me much suffering; also caus-
ing swollen glands, tonsils enlarged, enlarged
or "thick neck,'' and large aud numerous boils.
also suffered from terrible Chronic Catarrh,
and in fact WIS SO diseased that life was a bur
den to me. had tried many doctors with no
benefit. I finally procured one-half dozen bot
Ties Of your Golden Medical Discovery and one
dozen Sage's CatarTh Remedy, aud commenced
their use. At first was badly discouraged,
but after taking four hotties Of the Discovery
I began to improve, and when had taken the
remaining was rel. In addition to the use
of Discovery applied solution Of iodine to
the goitrc or thick neck, as you advise in pam
phlet wrapping, and it entirely disappeared. Your
Discovery is certainly the most wonderful blood
medicine ever invented thank God and you,
from the depths Of my heart, for the great good
it has done me- Very gratefully,
Mrs. J.. CHAFFEE.
Most medicines which are advertised as blood
purifiers aud liver medicines contain either mcr-
curry, in some form, or potassium and iodine va
rious1v combined. All OF these agents have
strong tendency to break down the blood
corpuscles, and debilitatc and otherwise perma-
nently injure the human. system, and should
therefore be discarded. Dr.. Piercc's Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand, being
composed Of the fluid extracts Of native plants,
barks, and roots, will in no case produce in
jury, its effects being strengthening and cura-
tiye on1y. sarsaparilla, which used to enjoy
quito Il reputation as blood-purificr, is a rem
edy Of thirty years ago, and maxwell give place
as it is doing, to the more positive and valuable
vegetable alternatives which later medical inyes-
tigation aud discovery has brought TO light. In
scrofula, or Kings Evil, White swcllings, u
GERS, Erysipela$, swelled Neck, Goitre, scrofu-
lous 1nhammations, Indolent Inflammation,
Mercurial Affections. Old sorcs,' Eruptions Of
the Skin, and Sore Eyes as in all other blood
diseases, Dr.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery
has shown its great remedial powers, cpking the
most obstinate and intractable eases. Sold by
all dealers in medicines.

statement is mainly based on three sources Of in

numerous holders, both In city aud country and they
gave orders to sell out while others were sold out helr
margins having been exhausted. These offerings pro-
duced further weakness, though hogs were quoted
frmer under the fact OF smaller supply. Ono lrm
that extremely long 10 lard did not respond to the
call for 'more" money to secure its denis, and the
market was almost pan!cly IN consequence, but soon
recovered Its equilibrium the lower range estab-
