Tax-Payers' Meeting.
CAmpBELLsrowN o.,

LOOs tth 1870
According to previous notice, the
taxpayers of Jackson township met at
the school house, at Florence Station,
on the 9th inst, for the purpose Of ex-
changing views in regard to the pres
ent high salaries of the various public
officers of our State, County and NUNS
cipal Corporations. Also, the present
high taxes that we are heavily burden
ed with, for the purpose OF paying our
officers and making many public i'm
provements that we think unnecessary
and unjust at the present time under
the great depression of all kinds of in
dustries.
From the tone of the remarks made
by various persons present 1t was
clearly shown that the people are be-
coming thoroughly aroused upon the
subject of the enormous expenditures
of our Iublic moneys, and are deter
mined, if possible, to nave all public
expenditures reduced in proportion to
the price of the products of the labor
ing classes. And that our Township
Trustees, Infirmary Directors, County
Commissioners, and various other local
authorities must stop catering to the
whims of all persons who are continu-
ally wanting public expenditures made
for their benefit. 1t was also demand
ed that our Legislators be importuned
to work for the general benefit of the
people of the State, and not allow them
solved to be button-holed by every pub
lie officer that wants his present high
salary retained, and not allow them
selves to be brow-beaten in voting for
every public measure that is for the
benefit of the few and a detriment to
the many.
The meeting was kept up until a late
hour and WA adjourned until Friday
evening, the 14th inst, at which time
it is hoped that the house will be filled
to overlooking. ~

Tho Revival Of Trade

We are pleased to set the return Of trade
to the city of Austin, which will once
more revive her prosperity and make her
citizens once more glad. On Saturday,
noticing that the store of G. SCHLEuDER
and DonR & VOID was crowded, we
dropped IN, and found the proprietors and
clerks working at their fastest speed. and
yet unable to attend to the wants Of their
customers. This store is world within
itself, and almost every thing that can
be desired for holiday present can be
found here. There are few places in the
city where person can find 80 many
things to delight the eye and excite adj
miration as in this establishment. Our
friends, when they come to Austin, must
not tail to visit this old and reliable
house, as the many novelties and beauti-
lul goods will pay for the time spent IN
looking at them, and the proprietors take
pleasure and pride in showing their vari
Gus goods whether you purchase or not.

A Close ost a Big Fire.

About l O'Clock on Tuesday morning,
numbers "t our citizens living in the
vicinity OF jones' block, were awakened
from their slumb. rs by the ringing Of
bells and cries Of fire" Upon txami-
nation, it was found that the corner brick
store Of Jones block, occupied by II.
Sprague, was on fire. Chief Of Police
Riley and night-watchman Cameron had
discovered the blaze in the basement of
the building. Chief Riley broke open
the front door to the store room, but the
room was so hot and full of smoke, that,
after making a has,y examination rs t"
the location Of the fire. he backed out,
closing the door behind him. After sta
tioDing man at the door with strict or
ders to allow no one to enter, the men on
the ground secured an entrance to the
basement from the sidewalk, and after an
hour or two Of hard labor, succeeded in
ex,inguishing the flames. The fire had
got under good Roadway, and had it not
b. en- for the good judgment exercised by
Riley and others in preventing a draft of
air by keeping the store closed, it is
probable the fire could not have been
controlled, and very great destruction OF
property would have resulted. AS it was,
it was anything but an easy job.
The fire caught, IN some way. from
stove located in about the centre of the
store. A space, some six feet square, was
burned through the floor where the stove
stood, dropping the stove into the base
ment.
The damage to H. Sprague's stock of
groceries is considerable-probatly one
thousand dollars; to the building, two or
three hundred dollars. We are glad to
hear the losses are fully covered by
