On yes. Last week we promised to ex-
plain what this meant, and told you that
the explanation would let you know how
to save money. And that is important
Well, here goes. You must not stop
until you have read this article all
through.
One way to save money is to have good
roofs on your buildings. This you can do
by getting G. Graham to put q new me-
tallic roof on your house, barn. &c. AL
so, when the weather is dry and fair, get
him to put up lightning rods at your
most valuable buildings, and put new
punnpsin your we'll and your cistern.
Then when you want dry goods, gro
ceries or nything to be found in gen.
eral store, stop at o. s. Miller's store on
Main Street, opposite the Court House.
Every thing can be found there, includ-
ing produce, provisions, &c.
Next place to stop is at the great gro
Gerry and provision store of David d.
DUNCAN, next door below the Isham
House. There you can get every thing
you want, from load of corn or potatoes
to box of matches.
Having thus supplied yourself with all
you want for either man or beast, go ON
down Main Street until you reach the
cross street leading down to the depot.
Now look to your right, across the street,
and there is the store of Mrs. N. j. Gra-
ham, who has every kind of article in the
line OF queensware, glassware, silverware,
cutlery &c.

The emperors of Russia, Austria and
Germany met in solemn conclave few
days ago. To the ordinary reader this
fact is of no moment, but in the best in
formed circles of Europe it is regar led as
scheme which bodies no good to Eng
land. This imperial conference has &C.
casioned general alarm in the little is
land, apparently, although nothing has
been made public as yet regarding the
real meaning of it. London papers
pooh-pooh the event, pretending to be-
lieve that it has no political significance,
but privately MIR. Gladstone and other
members of the Government, as well as
the intelligent masses, entertain grave
fears of the future. The common i'm
preston is represented to be that the
three Emperors propose to check Eng
lands career in Africa and Asia. If
they are fully determined in carrying
out this programme, nothing is more
certain than that Germany, Austria and
Russia colossal combination, will
form an alliance from which England
may well shrink in alarm.

TABOOED TRADING.
Capt. HeaIy Tells OF Illicit Traffic I'm
Fire Arms.

Capt. Healy, commanding the revenue ma.
rlne steamer Corwin, reports TO the treasury
department from Port Clarence, Alaska, under
date Of August /, his return from the Arctic
ocean on the way to ST. Mictel's, st. Lawrence
and King islands; after which he will again
cruise in the Arctic as far as the ice win per-
nit. Lieut.. Howison and two seamen have
been detailed for duty at Point Hope TO prevent
Illicit traffic between the natives and whaling
vessels, the former having accumulated large
quantities Of whalebone, which they are
only willing to trade for liquor or
breech-loading guns. 1t is acknowledged that
large quantities of liquors were taken Tito the
arctic regions for trading purposes by the
whalers; but owing to the presence Of a rev.
euue steamer II was nearly all thrown over
board. Capt. Healy suggests that the customs
officers at San Francisco refuse clearance TO
vessels bound for Alaska, carrying liquor or
guns for trading. Capt. Healy reports that
the villages at ST. Lawrence were, with one ex-
ception found uninhabited, the decaying bod
les OF the former residents lying on the ground
and In huts. The cause OF depopulation con-
tinues mystery. At the one village still in
habited the natives seemed prosperous and
happy, the abolition of the liquor traffic be-
ing assigned as the cause Of their well being.

Murder and Arson.

A fire broke out the other morning In tho
three-story brick building on the corner OF
Willet and Rvington streets, New York. Lee
Gertig, an Alsatian, rented the concern and
had liquor saloon on the corner. He lived
on the next floor with his wife and son aged
., aid let out the spare rooms on the second
and third floors to dodgers. When the flremen
arrived ladders were put up on the adjoining
buildings, with view to rescuing any inmates
who had reached the roofs 1t was with the
utmost difficulty and danger that even this
could be done, owing to the rapid spread OF
the fire. When the firemen gained the roof a
horrible spectacle met their gaze. Mrs. Gertig
and her sop, both terribly burned were found
lying near the scuttle, through which they had
evidently emerged. A few moments more and
the flames, which we're already bursting
through the roof, would have ended their exist
ence. the unfortunate woman was terribly
burned ard was unconscious and the boy was
almost as badly off. They were removed TO
Bellevue hospital, where Mrs. Gertig died with
out regaining consciousness. The flesh was
literally burned OIL portions Of her body. The
boy Is terribly burned aud the doctors think Il
will be miracle II he RECEIVERS
In the meantime the firemen rescued several
dodgers who were IN peril. When the fire was
got under control, an investigation was made.
IL was found that one OF the most determined
and hendish cases OF arr on and murder had
been planned and carried out by some mIscre-
ant. Evidences OF arson were everywhere
and no trace OF Leo Gertig, the proprietor
could be found; but it was learned that be had
been respondent Of late and was not successful
In business. He adquarrelled with his wife the
day before the fire and went out, remaining near
ly all day. He returned at night aud took some
money, saying he wanted TO pay the beer man.
Accounts differ as to what became OF him, but
a few hours later the police found him near
the house and arrested him on charge Of
arson and murder. He said he had been out
on drunk and knew nothing about the fire.
He was takn TO the Tombs court and remand
ed to await full investigation.

otherwise the loss to farmers would have been

Few ever suspected that too much rain would
be one of the disadvantages against which the
northwest would have to contend. Fears have
been expressed that drouth would be draw
from the opposite condition. A week OF Dry
weather is badly needed just now. The larger
portion OF the crop is saved, but much of 1t is
still unharyested and is in a most precarious
