Signs of Reform.

The Oxford Press makes the
following announcements:
The managers of the Oxfor,
Agricultural Society have taker
the initiatory step for an improve
ment in the character of the fair
of the society. At the first meet
ing of the new Board on Saturda}
last it was decided that fakirs an,
gamblers should be excluded from
the grounds, that nothing Of al.
immoral character should be per,
mitted on the grounds, so far as tn.
management was able to control it
and that as an experiment one day
of the fall fair-the second day OF
the eXhibition-should be given t.
the Farmers Institute or educa-
tional feature, exclusively, tn,
trotting and other amusement
being confined to two of the fol- l
days the fair will continue.
Perhaps like Semacherib they
have heard a "whiSper."

$40 for ST.

There has for some time past
been considerable mention of
"sound" money in all the Roths-
childs stripe of papers. This pre-
fix to the dollar of course was in
tended to catch suckers, as there is
no other United States money but
"sound" money. Recently Sun
sound" money is talked of. The
Cecil Wing has caught on to the
cuckoo word of "unsound" money.
III 9 MIDLAND JOURNAL will pay
TEN DOLLARS for ONE "UNsoUND"
DOLLAR that has been put in cir
culation by the United States gov
eminent. If a dollar can be found
that has been issued by authority
of the government of the United
States that wont pay a hundred
cents of debt, or purchase a hun
dred cents worth of anything for
sale in the general market, the
MIDLAND JOURNAL will pay ten
dollars for the curiosity. Now let
the Wing or any of it's Rothschild
contemporaries Put up that &c. n.
sound" dollar or shut up their
treason talk. The quiet, stealthy
treason concealed in such attacks on
the government and industrial
classes is more dangerous than the
open war levied by Jeff Davis, in as
much as a concealed traitor is worse
than an open enemy.

TWO SLIGHT FIRES.
Both Alarms Sent in from Box 62-Tha
 Damage Trifiing.

By a singular coincidence two alarms of fire were sent in yesterday from box 62, located at the corner of Park and South streets. The first alarm was sent in at 4:45 o'clock for slight blaze in the house, 539 Howard avenue, occupied by Mrs. Lewis. The blaze was caused by hot coals, which were raked out ofa furnace and set fire to an old mattress which was in the cellar. This fire was extinguished without damage.
 At 6:15 o'clock another alarm was sent in from the same box. The fire this time was in the house at the cor- ner of Park and South streets, occupied by A. Finklestein. The blaze was caused by a lamp which a woman was carrying. The woman tripped, the lamp fell out of her hand and broke and set fire to the carpet and furni- ture. The fire was promptly extin- guished, but not until damage to the amount of about s15 had been done.
