Spontaneous Incubator.

An Adams Center, N. Y, correspond
ent says: can odd case of what might
DE called spontaneous incubation lately
occurred in the farm yard of A. G.
Glass, near this place. They.had heard
for two or three days the cry of young
chickens, and searched for them in vain,
until at last it was found that the noise
proceeded from heap of litter which had
been thrown from the horse stable some
time before. On opening this they
found at distance of about two feet
from the surface, and closely covered by
the warm, fermenting mass, brood of
eleven healthy chichens. A nest of eggs
had been inadvertently covered in throw
ing out the litter, and the heat of fer
mentation had Matched them.

responded in quick time. The night was
mild, and gentle breeze waited flame
and smoke toward the river. From the
Intammable nature of the mill and its
contents the fire spread with lightning
rapidity, and in few minutes from its
discovery the building was completely
enveloped in flames, and in an hours
time there was nothing left standing but
few charred and blackened timbers.
That the fire was the work of an in
cendlary there is no doubt. The
mill had been shut down since Sat
urday night for the purpose of making
repairs, and there was no fire around the
building and Mr.. Weed had considered
Its safety and withdrawn the night
Waterman from the premises The orig
lnal cost Of the mill was $4,000. There
was an insurance of S14,700 on the mill,

The estimated loss over insurance on the
mill will exceed $1,000, but their loss
on lumber and shingles is fully covered.
Mr.. Weed has been exceedingly unfor-
tunate in his mill speculations. Since
1865 he has burned out four times, rep
resentlng an aggregate loss of $40, 900,

ance of S26, 000 He will rebuild imme-

Financial matters are changeless, weary

Louis Republican: "a dull day is nothing
more or less than dull day, look at it as you
may, and no sort of ingenious juggling with
words will make it anything else. Yesterday
was of that sort, and the statement simple
and unadorned Is complete and exhaustive
review of the situation. 1t was dull at the
banks and dull on the street; monotonously
dull and excessively uninterestIng." The st

WorH says: Just as the employment of
French money in the London discount market
greatly increased the late ease of money in
that center, SO the gradual withdrawal of
French money has hardened the rates for
money in London, and compelled the ship
ment of large sums of gold. Unless there is
rapid rise of sterling In Paris, this process
will go on, and the Bank of England will be
obliged to raise its rat of discount and take
other steps to protect Itself. This must not
be lost sight of in ate nlpting to forecast the
