POX—A NOVEL PTRB ENGINE—PERSONALS— MERE MENTION, #C. - ' ; New York, April 4, l872r "If yoH step ihto'tbe Stock Exchange shout fills tithe yon will see one of those periodiool spasms fiir whirftf Wall street has become le mons." “Erie” has “jtitnpsd” frorfi 87 to G8, and qijn have gone almost wild in their mad race for sudden wealth. Hnndr' 'la of fortunes have been made in fen flays, Jay Gould Is said to'have made a million. One of the Dtjl- monico waiters has added’S2,500 t o Lis pile. A bool-black put up his “margin" and is now worth a clear thrinsand. A sharp lady living up town bought "oh (he fly, * and ran affor 1 to-fcar a new siTl: every clay in the year. "Sp om; pretends to account for the unexpected rise in the stock, and bull; and bears are alike non-plux-d. A‘leading ban ker says tJie_stock is really worth 50; beyond that figuro, it is like a hot poker —to be handled gingerly. The scene, in tbe Ex change, where hundreds .of men are yelling, crowding, attitudinizing and snapping their fingers iu each other's wild (yefe reminds one of IScdlam, the contrast being somewhat in lavor of the re^l lqnaties. There,is morp tryubio among the “Society men,-7d‘a tjiey .are, failed. Scarcely a day elapses iu wjjich th*re are not ft dqzcu per sonal encounters .between, those who are holding put for highc-y wages abd those who are obliged to sueyumb to fate.. Thy work ingmen are every day growing, strong;* in their cOtnbiuaUon.i,,and probably the hour is not distant .when we shnll luive a solution of Um much ve^otbproblem, that now puzzles both the capitalist and the laborer. The remains of Genera) iiybjKrt Anderson, who commanded Fort Sumter at the time of its original bombardmentyu lHtil, have been brought from Italy and are to bo intem d at West Point on the Gth iuat. An imposing military demonstration will doubtless take place. :,L Hew Yorkers, with all their shrewdness, are easily humbugged. Tho hist sensation is n great sale of watches at such low prices tliat tho jewelers have taken alarm and com bined to demolish the ’monstrosity. The Tribune alleges tint-class fnuul, and, in cou- HcquMico, has a libel suit on its hands; while in the Tare of mulled pinchbeck and the testi mony of ossaveral the crowd flock to invest their greenbacks. ! ,i!; 4 ■< r Aftbr'thiffeen'yrars of absence a man has returned to‘New York and been identified as a 'murderer. He is friendly with the poli ticians and policemen however, • and is not likely to suffiAr the common lot of that class of mortal^ “Speaking of crime, reminds nie thnt a sad scene occurred the other day in court, whon’ the District Attorney moved that sentence on a young man for burglary should • be suspended twenty-four hours to permit the " prisoner to attend (ho fimeral of his mother. She died of a broken heart caused by his arrest and conviction, and in charge ' of an officer he wa3 conveyed from the Tombs to her grave—thence bnek to lie immured in his own living grave at Sing Sing. , Tho small-pox continues its ravages, but it is by uou o ns an op d n ic. Tue cases occur chiolly among the poorer classes?, .whose surroundings tempt disease. Many thousands of people have beeu.vacinated, and the doc tors aye still busy with lance aud quill. They visit stores and families from morning until night. A. T. Stewart has had all of his numerous employees punctured by contract. Destructive fires are becoming less frequent in Now York. This is dae to the - efficiency ' of the paid department, aiiri the remarkable facility with which both horses and men roach the point of eAuflagration. It' is also dne to the now general use,"by the fire de partment and by private individuals, of a nehihe known : as the ’Sfo- Wonderful little mai tionitl Fire Extinguisher, Which hits already extinguished upward of a' thousand fires.— ' Go into almost any Ill-go store, factory or ‘ hotel, and in many of the-privslte residences “■of the city, and you will seen bright copper cylinder,’ not more than three feet high and qighf inches in dianietV-r, standiilg ba a oon- "'benleht shelf unci ready for iuctant -action.— -A strap fits it to yourr shoulder,- And the turn of your thumb sets at work tlie.geueiutioh of 1 carbonic acid gass equivalent in its effect to 320,buckets of water. This is thrown bythe little engine tt distance of forty or fifty feet. The device is so simple that ft can be operat ed by a lad ten "years old. and so far has never failed.

Democp.a/:— In view of the importance of the coining political campaign, an<l of th<?*fciet that socii changes have been- maile in the laws regulating elections hs to throw it back Jlo the old pre cinct system, do you not thin]c it would, be well for the Democracy of this comity to organize and prepare for the contest. The want of thorough-and perfect organization has been felt by the Democracy of Decatur iu every elec tion since the war. On the other hand the Radical party, through their dliurchcs and otherwise, have maintained a perfect understanding and-harmony! Therefore our dcleat ami compulsory submission to mis rule ami corruption. Organization on our part, in this county at least, is now more important than ever before. I would suggest therefore, that the subject be agitated by tho local press, and at some early day—say during the scssiou of our next Supe- Court—an organization be per- t'ior fectcd. Certainly no more important step .toward victory could be taken. D—. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A BARGAIN! A MAGNIFICENT PIANO AT A SACRIFICE. THAT BEAUTIFTT. IIAM-ET, DAVIS & CO.
