A correspondent of the Gaseta Narodosga,
writing from the Polish frontier, says that on
an ancient town celebrated in Polish history.
The municipal fire brigade, which is kept up
by a voluntary subscription among the inhab-
itants, and is looked upon with much jealousy
by the Russian authorities, attempted to put
successful, the principal citizens went to the
governor Of the town to ask for the assistance
OF the troops. This was CURLY refused, the
governor telling the citizens that as they had
it to save them. The fire lasted two DAYS, the
troops quietly looking on. Nearly the whole
town is now In ashes, and hundreds Of fami-
lies are living in tents In the adjoining fields.
Such are the blessings of Russian government

From the year 1868 to 1873 the net i'm
ports of merchandise in the United States
largely exceeded the value of the exports
of domestic merchandise from the United
States, the excess of imports ranging from
S39, ,000, 900 to $Is2, 900 600. During the
years ending June 30, 1876, 1877 and 1873,
however, the exports of domestic mer-
chandiBe from the United States greatly
exceeded the net imports of merchandise
into the United States, the excess of ex.
porte increasing rapidly from year to year.
This is shown as follOws: Year ending
June 80, 1876, $40 643, ,4sl 1877, $751;

of merchandise have fallen of each year
since the year ending June 80, 1873, the
year of the largest importation. Oar ex.
