Fire.

On Sunday night last, about half
past twelve o'clock, an alarm Of fire
was raised and proved to come from
the residence of w. Ii. Wheeler, on
Saudusky Street. During the after
noon Mrs. Wheeler heard a cracking
noise like that arising from charred
wood, but though she searched through
the house could find no signs of fire.
About midnight, however, she awoke
Mr.. Wheeler, and called his attention
to the smell of smoke. Mr.. Wheeler
at once arose and discovered that fire
had broken out betweeen the chimney
and the weather-bcarding. He imme'
diately obtained water, but fearing
he might not be able to stay the pro-
gress of the fire. an alarm was raised.
By the assistance of citizens who were
scon upon the ground the fire was ex'
tipvr s,it d before material injury was
done. Loss about 500; fully insured.
TIE steamer was promptly on hand,
but was not called into service.

Fine Drove of Cattle.

On Tuesday last, Mr.. Peter Solt
drove into our city twelve head oi
four to five year old cattle which were
a little ahead of the good cattle usually
raised in Hancock county. They
were raised by Joshua and Jonas
Hartman, of Eagle township, and were
purchased by Mr.. Solt on the 9th day
of July last, since when he has been
feeding them for market. Their weight
will give some idea of their character.
The twelve brought down the scales at
"a, $50 pounds or an average OF 2O3C
pounds each. Two of the largest
weighed respectively 229O and 223O.
They were shipped East and will prob

The resumption act Of January IA, 1875,
which was expected by its friends to &C.
cOmplish two incompatible things-in-
crease the volume Of the currency and
hasten specie payments besides reviving
business, has done none of the three. 1t
has resulted. as the money editor Of the
New York Herald shows, in the perma-
nent retirement of l0,700,000 Of legal
tenders and OF about so. 900, 900 of bank
notes and the temporary Withdrawal
from circulation of some Sic, ,000. 900 more
Of legal tenders-total contrr ction. $780,
o00,0e0; and the depression of trade has
been worse since its passage than before,
while no one will say that the nation has
made any progress toward that great de-
sideratum, the specie basis. Evidently
the leading journals of the country and
Senator Carl Schurs were right when
they denounced the Sherman resump-
ton bill as fraud, which could not pos
sibly do that which it was ostensibly de-
