confusion prevailed before. The effect of this work has been to rem der it so much more convenient and easy to transact the business of the office that only half the clerical force Is now necessary. The report speaks well for the present occupant of the office.
 -Business during the past week has remained, as it has been ever siuce Christmas, very dull. The continued severe weather and the snow, slush and ice, have rendered travelling so disagreeable, that the town has been almost deserted by customers from the country. We have but few changes to note in previous quotations. The slight advance in cotton has enabled our purchasers to raise figures a little, and we now quote:
 Ordinary 7l to "a; strictly good ordinary 8 to sIs; low middling SA to 10; middling 1014 to 101a.
 The advance in hides has been fol- lowed by corresponding move ment in leather and shoes-the prices having been advanced from ten to fifteen per cent.
 -MEssRs. MILLER & PENZEL.--We were very sorry to hear of the very heavy loss sustained by the fire on the 18th inst. It is one of the firms which gives tone and solidncss to the business interesls of Little Rock and should such calamity overtaks them at to drive them from business the loss to the commercial interests would be felt all over the state. We are glad to learn, however, from a card over the signature of the firm, that they will soon reopen business again and be ready to serve their many customers and friends. In their card published in the Gazette on the 2lst ult., the firm requests the prompt payment of bills due them-surely request which should meet with prompt compliance un- der the trying circumstances. In rcgarl to their aims the hrm says:
 "It has been rumored that we would not continue in business this is not the fact We have been too long engaged with the trade of Arkansas to hastily give it up, and as soon as we can adjust our losses, will reopen with renewed determi- nation of continuing the largest grocery house in the state"
 We wish the firm greater prosper ity than ever before, and trust they may never again be subjected to an other trial by fire.

The President has declined to com- ply with Kellogg's request that he recognize the Republican Legisla- ture and the Packard government in Louisiana. He will, he says, dc nothing more than to simply see that the peace is preserved until the co nmittee sent to that State shall report.

A most fearful railroad disaster

A most IearIul rallrOau ulSaSter occurred at Astabula, Ohio, on the 27th, ut. A passenger train with hundreds of passengers broke through the railroad bridge a distance of some sixty five feet. The loss ofl;:e was ffightful, more than one hundred being killed, burned and drowned. A fearful responsibility rests somewhere for such disaster as this.

A ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IT.

A SOAII ksc cllSN -----sAAA1 II AA.-
 A correspondent, whose con- munication we publish in another place to-day, suggests to his brother farmers that every one in Pope county subscribe for Five Dollars worth of good newspapers and read the same for the space of two years, and then say wheth- CT or not it has been good in vestment. Now there is more in this suggestion than might ap- pear to many at first glance. The l loss which occurs to non readers of newspapers on account of miss ing information which might be obtained thcrefrom, and the inju. rious consequences which flow to government and to society from the ignorance of voters who exer- else the franchise without any correct knowledge of the merits of measures or men for whom they vote, is simply immense. Those who edit and publish newspapers give to the world the most reliable information that can be obtained upon the subjects treated of. The Agricultural journal gives the best methods and modes of conducting the farm, in all it's departments, which the combined experience of the past and the continued exper- iments ot the present afford. It is the business of the proprietor of such paper to gather and condense all attainable useful in formation on this subject, and put it in convenient shape for his readers. No farmer can afford to be without such an aid and such a counselor.
 The Trade journal is the same to the apprentice, the mechanic and the tradesmen that the Az ricultural paper is to the hus- bandman; and the loss to him if he denies himself of the expert ence of others and the lessons tansht thereby as recorded in the paper devoted to his particular trade, IS sure to follow.
 The general newspaper is the grand reservoir containing an ep- itome of the current events Of the \ times, from which the masses may obtain a knowledge as vari ed and interesting as it is useful. The newspaper press is the great never ceasing fountain from which flows perpetual stream of infor nation for the enlightenment and the edification of the world, and he who cuts himself of from par taking of the benefit thereof, gropes his way in the dark indeed.
 But cheap as newspapers are, there are hundreds of families in the land whose homes are desti- tute of their light; and so far as | these homes and families are con cerned the printing press had as we'll never been invented. They grope on in darkness and igno- rance. Whatever rumor reaches their ears is news to them. Per haps they may chance to get cor rect ideas of what is transpiring in the land, perhaps not. The case and certainly with which people who are thus uninformed and unposted may be imposed upon and led tito error is appar- ent.
 It pays the merchant and the speculator to take the commercial reporters and price lists. It pays the professional man to take the journals devoted to his profession. It pays the stock man to take the stock journal. It pays the farmer to take the agricultural journal. And it pays the public who would De kept posted upon all things which concern and interest the general reader to take the news papers.
