PLUsDERED AND BURNED.-At about 3
O'Clock Sunday morning the barn of Mr..
DEyer, in the outskirts OF Waterbury, was
discovered to be on fire, and before help
arrived was pretty much destroyed. Shortly
before it was consumed flames were seen
issuing from the house, which it was found,
on entering, had been ransacked and plum
dered, and then set on fire. This binding,
too, was completely destroyed. The loss on
house and barn was $500 insured for
$500. Mr.. Dryers family had gone away
Saturday morning, and no one was on the
premises at the time of the fire

show, as the loss in the United States for
the year S6s, 1855. 500, of which S37. 1893 900
is reported as the amount of the loss paid
BY insurance companies, leaving $50, S66.-
900 as the loss without, or beyond. insur
auce. Probably there is not single mo-
ment in the year in which some building
is not burning. as the aggregate number OF
insured fires gives US new fire each eight
minutes ths whole year round. This vast
aggregate loss is but the ordinary. loss,
which is new and then largely increased by
the destruction Of large section Of some
city. Another alarming element is added
to these considerations by the Increasing
proportion of incendisry fires which take
place in the United States.

THE Blu RI N q TON
Flat Money.

Mr.. Jon r. Forest told US, the other day,
that "a piece of paper, long enough and
wide enough, of certain quality, made Tor
the Treasury Department. las nobody else has
right to make, or any that looks like it,
when stamped so, is of as much value as q
piece of gold bearing the same stamp"
The St. Adams Messenger expressed the
same idea about the same time in the asser-
ton that this " absolute or " fat money,
would " buy goods foreign or domestic as
well as gold We thereupon asked Mr..
Forest to tell US why,-i. the fiat of the
Government, expressed in an elaborate
stamp, ear make a piece OF paper money
good for its face without reference to any
metallic basis or promise to redeem,-the
Government might not at once make mil
lion or billion dollars for every one now
circulating, and stop collecting taxes, and
give every citizen an independent fortune.
and make this nation richer than all the
world beside, with the power Of doubling
its riches at every revolution Of its presses.
Mr.. Forest replies rather tsrdily IS fol-
lows:
If | understand correctly, the question
is this: If Government can issue one dol
lar paper dollars. why not million dollar
paper pieces of money and all OF US be NIL
lionaires? That question or objection Is too
simple for child to ask in earnest. OF
course, it can. Where is the law against it?
Ii there are as many Congressman as there
are windows in the capital, each one can
hang himself out of window some hne
morning. One would be just as sensible
for Congress to do as the other, only 1t
would be easier to bury such lot OF TOOL |
ish follows and get them out Of the way |
than it would to adjust prices to the new
scale or pay off small debts and salaries
and get back the change. D. X. FOREST.
MIR. Forest, it will be seen, does no. state |
any question correctly; but never mind.
Since he holds that the Government can
make US all millionaires, with our pockets
filled with money that will buy goods.
foreign and domestic, as well as gold, We |
are at loss to see why be should consider it
foolish for the government to do SO. Prices
being now substantially on the gold basis,
il tho paper is as good Us gold Of course
there need be no new SCALE OF prices,
and as for paying off small debts and
getting back the change. why, the Govern
ment could easily put in the package of
money it sends to every citizen few tnou-
sand dollars in smallish bills.

1HE SECOND DIsTRIcT.-The talk about
contesting Congressmsn-elect Tyler's seat
in the next Congress has died away. Col.
A. NJ. Dickcy, the Democratic candidate.
says he never had anything to 90 with the
thing, anyway, and that he doesn't pro-
pose to try to get any Office to which the
people had not elected him. The ground
on which it was intended to contest the
election vas that Mr.. Tyler was virtually,
though not in fact Ineligible. because, as 1t
is claimed, he had accepted a large sum of
money from prominent man in Brattle-
boro. while States Attorney. as bride to
suppress a criminal prosecution against this
man for 3 rape. But the truth appears to
be that Mr.. Tyler dida't do any such thing.
The report arose from the fact that Mr.
Tyler and Mr.. Davenport brought a civil
suit against the man, which was settled by
the payment Of a sum named, one thousand
dollars and when Mr.. Davenport stated the
iacts 10 the Democratic oOterie at MUntpe-
ller, the proposed contest of seat was
abandoned.
