A well known Democrat residing IN
Washington, VINO pAsses his vacations In
tie iron regions CT Penngyl vania, has Just
returned home and reports that year has
wrought wonderful changes in towns
which twelve months ago we're filled
With idle and dissatisfied workmel. There
il row full employment for all who desire
it. Some of the largest mills, which were
established forty years ago, have now
more work than at any period since they
were erected. In come towns they are run
ming day and night-a thing which they
did not do even during the wsr. The re-
yival "a not confined TO the iron interest,
bat extends to all other industries. Ali
classes ere satisfied and hopeful. He con-
cedes that the general effect OF this revival
is to the serious disadvantage Of his party,
because many Democrats among the quiet.
er farmers and business men are arguing
that il VIII be poor policy to change q
State administration in the face OF such

Ravages OF the PhyrIsxera.

The phylloxsra has begun its ravages in
the Bordeaux wine districts of France, and,
judging by lis work elsewhere, that is, the
character of vine &c which the insect is
most partial, the vine yards in the Valley
of the Garonne are likely to suffer more
severely than those Of any other part of
the country. In spite Of the great induce
ments held out BY the Government in the
shape Of rewards, no Satisfactory means Of
arrseting the destructive course of the
phyiloxers has YET been discovered.

BETHANY COLLEGE BURNED.

WHEELING, W. ", Oct. 2S-Bathsny
Brooke Company, West Virginia, has been
troubled for some months past by the at
tempts OF some person TO fire the town. A
few months sgo the stables Of Mr.. Lacke
were burned 10 the ground and Las: week
the barn OF Col. Alex. Campbell was totally
destroyed. Both were the work OF the in
cendiary's torch.
This morning, however, the people Of the
town witnessed the. b0ldest attempt of the
fire bug ever attempted, in the total de-
-truction OF Bethany College. The
building is one OF tie finest
institutions Of learning in the
southwest, being valued at Sl50.000.
The FIRE broke cut in the north wing Of the
building at O'CLOCK this morning, and
owing to the scarcity Of water and the in
efecfual means for putting out fires the
wing was totally DESTROYED; the blackened
walls only being left standing.
The wing contained the three society
halls of the college library. The only
property saved wss five fine oil paintings.
presented to the societies by Mr.. keeBe
Richards, OF Kentucky, and which were
valued At $4,000. Some OF them were
considerable damaged. The socities lose all
their property, Including their libraries;
not book escaping the flames. The wing
was valued at $50, 900, on which there was
an insurance of S25 900.
There is 70 doubt that il wac the work of
an ircendiary, az the building wss fired in
a remote part of the South wing, but which
was fortunately e1tipguished before doing
much damage. Suspicion points to a
person who has been prowling around that
town for some time past.
