the Rio Grande into Texas and proceed on

Forty-Two Buildings Burned.

WATERTowN, N. Y, April 8.-The business
portion of the village of Resa, about twenty
five miles from this city, is entirely destroyed
by fire. Forty-two buildings we're burned,
twenty of which were residences. The fire
originated in the store of f. n. Peek, which
had been closed by the sheriff. There was
no furnace in the building, and as there had
been no fire in the stove for some time, it is
thought the fire is the work of an incendiary.
The village has no fire apparatus and help
was summoned from this city. The steamer
and fremen, however, arrived too late to be
of much assistance. The total loss is about
S15.OO0.

A Methodist Opinion of Catholics.

New YORK, April AT the Methodist
Episcopal conference, DR.. Morrison D. Craw-
ford delivered his seIni-centenary address.

large number of our citizens, but with all
there had been perceptible improvement in
the views held by leading Catholics of the
present day. Cardinal Gibbons, in his latest
work, evinced an advancement of opinion
and tolerence of feeling which Catholics in

THE HOP MARKET.-During the
past week change for the better
has taken place in the transactions

stead of quotations at to s cents
per pound, they are now s to 10
cents, with strong anxiety to buy.

whom these facts are learned, says
he expects to see hops bring 20 cents
before the new crop comes into mar
ket. The gift of prophecy would
