Eat plentifully of oysters, for a Chicago drummer in taking a dish re cently found a pearl therein valued at S603. In the past three months nearly a quarter of a million dollars' worth of eggs were imported into the United States. The prosecutions of the Mormons are being kept up with relenties vigor, and the appearances are that tbe days of this blight are numbered. The Xew York papers are agitating the subject of Uniting Brooklyn and New York City into one municipality, to be known as Manhattan.

A sixteen-year-old boy at West-brooke, Maine, blew out his brains because he had been wrongfully accused of breaking a window at school. Jay Gould promptly sent $5)000 to Galveston to the sufferers by the recent destructive conflagration. Give the devil his due; this is a very worthy act. It is now in contemplation to run railroad trains by means of natural gas. It is claimed that by one filling of the tank, a train can be run from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and return.

Compulsory re-vaccination of the soldiers was established by the German Government eleven years ago, and since then not a single death from small-pox has occurred in the German army. The English farmers can get but 67 cents per bushel for their wheat, and at the same time they see that grow in India, competing with at 78 cents per bushel in London, Liverpool and Glasgow. French vineyards have recently suf fered sadly from mildew. As a remedy for the disease sulphate of copper has been tried.and has proven successful both in the form of a live per cent and solution in a mixture with lime.

All repor ts go to show that the catch of fish this season is the heaviest ever known, and fisherman are correspond ingly happy. At Sandusky, help enough cannot be secured to take care of all received, and only a portion of the pound nets are being lifted. The residents of Northern Michigan are incensed against hunters who go up there with dogs to Tiunt deer, and very significantly remark that the sportsmen who come up there with dogs generally go back without them." Their treat ment seems to be effective. The western powers thought they had done something smart when they broke down the exclusivenessof the Chi nese empire. Several of them wish they had left the heathen to their own devices, and would be glad to seal China up tighter than she was in the days of Marco Polo.

Governor Hoadly will resume the practice of law at Cincinnati as soon as he hands over the Governor's ofllce to Judge Foraker. Financially, the defeat of Governor Hoadly is a good thing, for him. He had a very lucrative practice when elected, which he had in a measure to neglect while serving the state. Apples in the vicinity of Salisbury, are so plentiful that the proprietors of many orchards haye not taken the trouble to gather them. Some one suggested that the fruit be shipped to the poor in New York City.

The benevolent, acting on this suggestion, are now shipping the apples there by the car load. Much is anticipated of the great Scotch colony which is about to be planted in Florida. The first division, composed of fifty families, will sail from Glasgow on the 26th. These immigrants own the land to which they are coming, and, in addition, are well supplied with money. Fully a thousand families, in all, will come.

Lake freights are greatly demoralized. Vessels at Chicago have offered to carry grain from that port to Buffalo for 2 cents and could not get it, and one offer was made to take corn as ballast, if furnished at "ballast rates," and even that offer was not accepted. The season, however, is nearly over and it is well that the worst comes so near the close of navigation. Martyrs burnt at tbe stake would be called cranks in our day of judicious time service. Largely, earnestness is at a discount among men.

That man who agrees quickly with his fellow by the way side the man who is all things to all men for his own sake, the man who is always for the man who is "on top," is that great thing" in our day and time "a practical man." The Cincinnati Times-Star makes a point when it says that our legislators ought to be paid more than $600 a year, and not be forced to "consult outside lobbyists to get enough money to pay actual expenses." As the Legislature is about evenly divided this year between two political parties, they ought to increase the salaries of all future members. Canton Democrat. Spiders have been found to be voracious destroyers of plant-preying insects, and play a more effective part in the preservation of forests than all the insect-eating birds together. The value of the service rendered by spiders has been shown by observations on coniferous trees, a few broad-leaved trees, and apple treej General Sheridan, who is the best informed man in the country as to the condition and treatment of the Indians, thinks the process of civilizing them must be very slow. The General has long beld the position that the way to civilize the Indians is to exterminate them, and that the only good Indians are dead Indians.

He is in favor of restricting their reservations to '320 acres for each family, and selling the remainder of their lands at 1.25 an acre. The corn crop, according to the November report of the Department of Agriculture, averages over 2G bushels per acre. As the area planted was about 54,000,000 acres, the crop will amount to 1,500,000,000 bushels. Ohio and Nebraska have the highest average over 36 bushels. The potato crop is considerably less than last year, as one-third of the crop in New York has rotted, and much damage has been done by disease in New England and some of the Western States.

The national banks have ruled the finance of the nation. They have dictated the policy of the treasury. They have organized themselves into a moneyed political oligarchy. They have de fied Congress. They have created syn dicates.

They propose to fund the na tional debt into an endless engine of financial power to rule the legislation of the country. They have combined more than under their control and are, as they believe, the masters of the situation. The Sentinel, Chicago. Congress will not assemble until one week of December has passed away, and but little over two weeks will then re main until the Holiday season is usher ed in with its round of festivities and social gatherings. It is not ureasonable to assume that as this is a new Congress and at least one-half are new members, it will take all of the intervening time from the opening until the Holidays to get into good working trim.

It is not likely that members will buckle down earnestly to business until after Holidays have passed away. CI0EK0 ITEMS. Nil TUCK. Mr. Sinn hasbought the Casper Gint- erfarm.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. EIGHT ET7SHTE3S E00MS AND DWELLING IN ASHES. A LOSS, ABOUT INSURANCE, $8,000. At about 2:30 this morning fire was discovered in the bakery of Elder Hum' barger and in about an hour eight business rooms and one dwelling were burned to the ground. The fire spread in two directions, on the east communicating to the dwelling occupied by Wm.

Cole, and to the frame occupied by his saloon. On the west the fire communicated from the bakery to the building owned by T. H. B. Correll and occupied by L.

Kiplmger with a grocery, thence to the lime office building of John Correll, the butcher shop of Robert Bsirtlett, the building owned by Geo. K. Otis and oc cupied by "Wort Neer's barber shop the small room occupied by G. O. Co- burn with a restaurant and oyster room, thence to the building known as the Love building, occupied by Dyarmau with a stock of clothing.

Here the fire was stopped by Central Block, which being a brick building impeded further progress of the fire, At Central Block on the west, the fire was stopped only by the greatest efforts of the citizens, as the whole side is filled with windows aud none of them have iron shutters, making but comparatively small resistance to the flames, and great credit is due the people for their heroic work in saving Central Block. On the east the fire was stopped at the residence of ltev. John Huffman. Here was another masterly piece of work which reilects credit on the gentlemen credited with the conception of the plan and their hard labor in carrying it out. It is a frame building and in order to save it carpets were hung from the roof to the ground and kept saturated with water, thrown from the windows, from within.

The Love building was valued at and was insured for SO0, it was occupied by Dyarman Co. with a stock of clothing, their goods were carried out but the loss from damage will be considerable. Insured. J. W.

S. Parmer occupied the second floor of this building with his family but his household goods were saved. We understand a Mr.Bryan owns the building. The next building was a small one owned by G. K.

O'is and occupied by the restaurant of G. O. Coburn. His goods were all saved but somewhat damaged. The bmluing was valued at and was not insured.

The next building was also owned by Mr. Otis, was valued at S2.C00.00 and was insured for it was occupied by the barber shop and bath rooms of Wort Ncer, their goods being saved. The second floor was occupied by Len. 1 Gillinghain with his family. His goods were all saved.

Insured, S200. On the building owned by Robert Cavtlett and occupied by him with his butcher shop there was insurance for SS00, valued at $1 ,000. II is tools, steam engine cutter, were insured for SiO0, valued at 1.000. His stock of meats was saved. The small building occupied by the lime and coal office of John Correll, was owned by Capt.

T. H. B. Correll and was not insured. Loss about 200, contents saved.

The next building was also owned by Capt. Correll and was valued at 2,800.00. insurance 2000.00. It was occupied by the grocery of F. L.

Kiplinger, whose goods were mostly saved, but his loss from goods stored in the cellar and glass and queensware will be about 500, which is insured. The upper story was occupied by Jessie Wills and his family, and only a portion of their goods were saved. The bakery building where the fire originated, was owned by W. G. Hamilton, loss 700, insured for 500.

It was occupied by Humbarger Bros, with a restaurant and bakery, whose loss is about 1,000, insured for 650. A portion of his goods were saved. Dwelling occupied by Wm. Cole was owned by Caleb Esterly, of near Tiffin, Ohio, as was also the building occupied by Mr. Cole with his saloon.

A large portion of his goods and stock was saved. Insured for 700. The buildings were insured for 600, valued at 2,200.00. Frank Dalrymple's building was considerably injured, the glass all being broken out on the side next to the fire. and the casing is considerably damaged, his loss to building and to his stock, which is injured by water, will be considerable, about 200.

Insured. Rev. John Huffman removed all his househoid goods as it seemed impossible at first that his dwelling could bo saved. F. L.

Kiplinger seems to be specially unfortunate, being burned out both in his business, and his household goods were considerably damaged by removal from his rooms over Dalrymple's, where he was housekeeping. He has been in Hicksville not six weeks yet, and his experience is not very inspiring. It is providential that there was ho unfavorable breeze, or the fire could not have been stopped short of ICrotz Opera House on the east. It is a picture of desolation on High street this morning; great piles of household goods and merchandise obstruct the street, while the owners arc standing seutini-1 over their possessions spared from the tire. A space of 250 feet, formerly occupied by buildings busy with activity, is now black and deserted.

This is the fourth five in thp avt tiy VPal'9 thflt from lvibi.i Tim I lirst where Central Bloc now stands and the second where .1. C. Ryan's residence now stands, and the third in the Steel-smith building. It took bard work to save the ware-room and stable owned by Meril Ot is. located at the rear of Central Block, and occupied by Roberts Overholt.

It is most likely the fire caught from the oven in the bakery as there was where it was first noticed. With a fire engine the fire could have been extinguished, when first discovered with a damage of not more than Sl.OOO. This is what has been waited for, and it is now asked if any delays will be made in securing an engine. The loss is estimated at 18.000.00. with an insurance of 8.000.00.

Hicksville is unusually unfortunate in the frequency with which it is visited with fires, and is still more unfortunate in a careless spirit manifested by our citizens in providing protection against fire. The only effort for protection that was ever made was that of a hook and ladder company, and it did excellent service in its time, find saved much property. The firemen were well what was necessary and always turned out promptly, but they were not properlv encouraged so the zeal died out when the citizens lost all interest in it. And to-day all that is left is a truck and a few broken hooks and ladders, and even then the hooks were not properly provided with rope and not strong enough or numerous enough. The News has talked fire protection until it feared of worrvinga too patient public in regard to fires and fire protection.

but seemingly all to no purpose, although a small effort was made this year to provide something but the matter was allowed to die out. And now we asiv on whose heads rests all the loss and incon venience caused by the lire? It should not lie neeesarv to wait until the tow burns down before making some moove for protection, the town council and the people are to tie. severely censuren mey they allow a fortnight to elapse before purchasing a steam engine ana con structing cisterns. What if the fire fund is not large enough to warrant the ex penses just now Is is better to even mortgage the town than to let it bum down. Move at once.

There are several other frame rows that are a menace to safety and will inevitable sooner or later share the fate of the row burned last night. This firs has long been expected and now there is not a man, woman or child in town who can not say, "I told von so." Great credit is due the citizens for the heroic manner in which they fought the flames, but nothing but fire engine could light such fierce heat with any et-fect. The most that could be dons was to save eroods. which work was entered into with a good will. To-day you see many men who look like veteran fire lad dies from the smoked and broken up ap pearance they present alter a hard lougnt night.

This frame row was regarded as so risky that many companies would not take insurance on it. It is hoped that when it is built tin it will be of brick, in fact should not possibly be of anything else. The case of Central Block shows that brick makes a more formidable barrier than wood. In these days of intelligence and wide reading few men enter into any class of business without a laudable desire to know what others have done and are doing in the same line. Hence it is that the physician, the lawyer, the minister, the politician, the tradesman and the mechanic as well as other professions and callings, all have their mediums of communication.

The same is also true of the farmer, the dairyman, the stockman, the horticulturist and other allied interests of the farm. To meet this desire on the part of the farmer, some twenty-three years ago The Western itURAL was iounucn. xi cas Deen con ducted by a practical farmer almost from its inception, and lias grown in power and influence until to-day it stands at the head of the agricultural press of America. Its editor and proprietor was the prime mover and organizer of the National Farmers' Alliance, which has become a power in the reform agitatiou of the present day and in time must be of inestimable value to the farming classes, ft is the acknowledged champion of the farmer's rights, and as such is the uncompromising enemy of monopolies of every form, bo great also has been its service in denouncing the adul teration ot iooa ana tooa products, as well as exposing frauds and swindling schemes in whatever phase presented. that in many homes throughout the country it has really become a house hold and farm necessity.

TriE Western Rural and American Stockman in its enlarged form is not a class journal in the strict sense, as its twenty de partments cover the entire field of lit erature, as related to Dotti practical and scientific agriculture. Many say its veterinary department alone is worth more than double the price of one year's subscription. It is a large sixteen page paper, full of elevating and entertaining matter pertainmsr to tne household and farm, and just such a paper as ought to be in the home of every farmer in the land.
