We learn that DIR. r. V. Pierce, pro-
prietor of the Worlds Dispensary,' in
this city, has perfected the purchase of
large lot of land, on which he pro-
poses to erect a large hotel for the ac-
commodatiOn of his numerous patients,
coming hither from all points of the
compass. The land purchased by the
enterprising Doctor is 234 feet front on
Prospect avenue, running through to
Fargo avenue, 332 feet; also an adjoin-
ing lot extending from the above to
Connecticut street. 1t is in the midst
of our extensive system of public parks,
fronts the old and beautiful Prospect
Park, is but short distance from the
Circle in one direction, and the Lake
Front in the other. The site selected
is a fine one, being both beautiful and
healthiul; is one of the highest portions
of our city, easily accessible, yet suffi-
GENTLY retired to secure quiet, and
commands a pleasant view of the lake
and river, as well as of the surround
ing city and country. We understand
that it is the intention of DIR. Pierce to
erect hotel at the cost of at least two
hundred thousand dollars, where those
who come to enjoy the benefit of his
treatment may find all desired accom-
modations under one roof, instead of
being scattered over the city, as at
present. We are further given to un-
derstand that our architects will be in
vited to submit plans for the proposed
structure without delay.-Buffalo Ex-

The passage of the silver resumption act
through the House by so large majority,
has surprised those who have not watched the
change of public opinion on the silver ques-
ton The discussions of the last thirty days
have developed facts and statistics which
have an important bearing on the whole ques-
ton, and set it an altered light, and one far
more favorable to silver resumption. The
facts in regard to fractionals leave nothing to
be said by those who are opposed to replacing
them with silver coins The fractionals last
only about year. 1t costs about 81, 25O, 900
q year to replace them with new bills. Some
90, ,0O0, 900 have been lost or worn out by the
people without redemption, which is a tax on
them to that amount. Silver coins last fifty
years, are seldom lost, and never burned up;
and, though they cost more in the outset, are
immensely cheaper in the end. The Govern
ment has S12, 600, 900 of these coins lying idle
in the Treasury and $4,000 of silver bull
lion waiting for coinage. Silver is two per
cent. less than greenbacks, owing to the de-
monetization of silver by Germany and the
consequent throwing of a great quantity of it
on the London market. A question in addi-
tion is not simpler than of that presented to
the consideration Congress so far as the re-
placing of fractional with silver coin is con-
cerned. But the House bill goes beyond this,
and makes silver legal tender for any
amount not exceeding $50. 1t practically re-
sumes in silver. And it is thought the Senate
will pass the bill with some important modf-
cations, thus opening an unexpected way out
of our financial embarassments. Of course,
this is not what the holders of greenbacks
were promised They have the nations pledge
for gold. They are fairly entitled to gold or
its equivalent. But perhaps the making of
silver legal tender once more, may prepare
the way for and hasten the resumption in gold,
which is the point towards which all Con-
gressional measures should be directed.
Year: 1876

The House bill for the issue of silver
coin as fractional currency received
some important amendments in the
Senate Finance Committee before it
was reported to the Senate. The most
noticeable are the sections which pro-
vide for the coinage of the silver dol.
liar, and for the exchange Of silver coin
for United States notes. These provi-
siOns did not exist in the bill when it
passed the House. The Senate COM
mittee reduced the amount OF this sill.
yer coin to be legal tender in any one
payment from $50, which was the sum
fixed by the House to so. A provision
is also made that this shall not apply
to the payment of customs duties,
nor to the interest of the public debt,
both of which the Senate Committee
maintains should be paid only in gold.
Senator Sherman, Chairman Of the FL
nance Committee, says that the new
dollar which il is proposed to coin is in
all respects similar to the old dollar,
which has been adopted almost since
the foundation of the Government. It
will be worth at least six per cent more
than two of the present half dollar
coins. containing more silver and of q
higher standard of fineness. The fourth
section of the bill, authorizing the Sec
retary of the Treasury to exchange sill
yer coin for United States, and to can
eel the latter as fast as they are redeem
ed, Mr.. Sherman claims will not work
any contraction, while it will tend in
the direction of specie resumption, nor
will it necessitate the sale OF gold or
purchase of bonds beyond what the

ried beyond the limits OF the sinking
fund as now provided by law, although
all the United States notes canceieo
under the provision OF the Dill are 70 20
placed to the credit of this fund. Mr..
Sherman is CT the opinion that the ef.
feet of this section will be In q BRIEF
period to appreciate greenbaeks to par,
for the reason that they can only be ex-
changed for silver at the nominal or
par value of the latter, dollar for dollar,
and that, as they are taken in, they
will become scarce and valuable. Inc
Finance Committee would be willing,
he says, to add another section to the
bill providing for the funding OF green
backs in per cent, forty-year bond,
whenever presented to the Treasury in
sums of 500 and upward, but he IS not
certain whether the House Of Repre-
sentatives, with its initiation tendencys
would agree to such a proposition
Should the House, however, add such
an amendment to the bill he thinks
the Senate would concur, and then, In
his Judgment, the country would have
all the financial legislation necessary at
present.

MEXICO is again revolutionized. The gen.
eral occasion of trouble lies in the gross ignor-
ance of nearly the whole population, and the
real savagery of large proportion of the in
habitants. A few enlightened statesmen,
President Lerdo among the number, have ia
vored and legally established religious liberty,
and provided for the due representation of the
people in the government. Neither the
priests nor the pugnacious generals, who have
been the curse of the country, are content
with this. Appeals to bigotry, to sectional
interests, and to the love of plunder have
been made, and with terrible effect. Local
emeutes have sprung up in various quarters,
and will soon unite and swell into one tide of
rebellion. 1t is to be hoped that the govern
ment will prove adequate to the emergency,
but the present indications are not favorable
to this result.

Zach Chandler repudiates Bell, but
Bell will not, for all that, consent to be
muff1ed. He is going to put in print some
well attested facts. which he thinks will
knock Chandler's aspersions higher than
kite, and from the pluck and audacity
already displayed by him there is every
reason to believo that he means bust
ness"


We copy the above from an exchange
paper. Bell has visited our State but
we have no knowledge Of him. or his
character. We presume. however, that
eur neighber, the Commercial is well ac-
quainted with him, and would be willing
to vouch for what he says, since that pa
per stated few days since that he was
formerly contributor to its columns
He was then doubtless at work for the
President or some one Of his Secretaries.
Perhaps putting up both in a sly way for
the pay he received. Or, he might have
been used by Orville Grant. when the
dignifed, and disinterested brother of
the President was in Delaware buying
timber, to dispose to the Navy Depart
ment or its contractors. Bell at all
events was Republican in full feather
with the Commercial, and that paper may
have had some knowledge of the fact
that he was used as a spy, long before
this was divulged to the public through
the efforts Of the House Committee.

In an article in the April number ol
Scribner an old theory of a subterranean
passage between lakes Huron and Ontario
was revived. This has now called out an

AT recent meeting of the fish COM

inland lakes of the state, at the proper
season, 100000 whitefish, 1000. 600
lake trout, and 100000 Skenea.elcs trout.
a species very liltle inferior, in the esti-
nation of those familiar with their auali-
ties, TO the speckled trout. Arrange
ments have been made with the fisher
men at Crosse Isle for a supply of white
fish spawn, which will be taken to the
state hatchery and hatched out so as to
be ready for delivery at the proper time
for putting them in the inland lakes.


The commission have also perfected
arrangements for supplying other varie-
ties OF fish, including eels, in expectation
that the Legislature this coming winter
VIII vote additional funds to aid in the
PROPAGATION of fish in the state. The ad
Wees the commissioners have received
from their efforts last winter is such as
to give them great encouragement. The
Detroit Post says the fish at the state
hatchery show finely. Some of the SAL
mon 21s years old will weigh 1 % pounds,
and are about II inches along. The
speckled trout are perfect, beauties AMI
growing apace. So Wi h the whitefish-

conditions there can be no doubt of the

Ex-GovERNoR HoRATIo SEYMOUR, one
of the wisest and most honest men of
the age, addressed the New York Demo-
cratic State Convention held at Utica last
week. On his appearing on the platform
the entire audience rose and cheered him
repeatedly. He concluded as follows;


1--WE intend 80 far as we can to lay bare
all that has been done wrong in your
ranks, and all that has been done wrong
in our ranks we expect you to unite with
u.s." | believe that the Republican party
in its make up in the great body of its
organization is as honest as our own, but
it's members have held principles which
have proven more strongly than the wis
dom of our fathers could have proved it,
that that Government has outstepped its
limits That Government which from
great central point, undertakes to inter-
fere with local affairs, that Government
which opens the door of the Treasury to
10000 schemes of fraud cannot survive
In conclusion, say once more to the
Democratic party and to our Republican
friends, we ropose to enter into this con-
test, not for the purpose of showing which
party is the most ignoble, not merely for
the purpose of bringing disCredit upon
them, not with the view of gaining vic
tory because they have gone wrong-I
scorn such victory on the part of the
Democratic party, but we intend to win
this victory, because we mean to show
that we are more fit to hold power, we
have the better claim, not because you
are so bad, but because we have the posi-
tive virtues to enable us to carry on this
Government, and until we do show that,
| for one pray to God that we may never
come into power. 1t is because believe
that now we have this revival of public
morality, and this refreshing of the purer
sentiments OF the people, and an enlarged
intelligence with regard to the evils of
bad government, that stand before you
this moment, buoyed up with the con-
viction that for many years to come we
are to have better government, better
people, better condition of things, and
more active and earnest patriotism, and
that it is to be brought about because We
have returned to the principles and the
wisdom of our fathers, and to the great
principles which the Den ocratic party
has.ever upheld. 1t is in this view I do
congratulate you most earnestly upon the
success which | believe will attend our
efforts. (Great applause.)

CAN it be that the editor of the Stark
County Democrat has sold himself to the
bankers2 We can explain his position
in no other way.-SeubenUilIe Gazette.


We hasten to. relieve our troubled
friend of Steubenville, and beg leave to
assure him that the editor of the
Democrat has sold himself neither to
knaves nor fools-hence is not penny

Let us also say to our Young friend that
the devoted Democratic editor needs no
other guiding lights tnan Truth, Justice
and the Constitution-with, of course, a
modiCum of good sense. Truth is the
eldest born of the Supreme, and Justice,
the twin sister, seeks to bring all to the
shrine on terms Of Equality. The wise
men who framed the Constitution did SO
under the inspiring influence of these
heavenly principles. With such guides,
and assisted by reason, the old Democ-
racy triumphed-triumphedi in the name
of peace and good will. In our triumphs
were no force and fraud-no doing evil
that good might come. There are three
classes of people who refuse to submit to
such guides in the light of reason knaves
who will not, bigots who dare not, and
fools who cannot. Between knavery,
bigotry and folly, this fair land has been
torn and rent, and it may be we must yet
endure and suffer. Now, however, we
are not without hope,-HoPE, the inspir-

ures we'll ventilated at the top, even
in winter should have good bed

enough to keep dry and prevent be-
coming dusty. Would feed twice
per day and very regularly. Always
keep record Of the time of breeding
my sows SO as to know when they
will have pigs, the usual time being
ll2 to ll6 days. | give out straw for
feeding three or four days previous to
the dropping of the pigs; wean pigs
