Another Fire Indlraril
Our little neighbor across the river has
been more unfortunate this year than over
before In the way of lose by Are. There
was another tiro over there yesterday
morning, which oonsumced several small
1 buildings. It broke out in a little shanty
on the brick store lot belonging 'to M rs.
M. E. Lloyd, of this city. One or two of
the occupants of the shanty work in a fac
tory, and a woman of the family was cook
ing for them when she discovered that
the house was on lire Inside. It probubly
caught from tho stove pipe. The llunicH
spread with great rapidity, not allowing
time to got nut anything. A rerun adjoin
ing was filled with fodder, and by the
time the fodder was gotten out, this room
too was in flames. The (Ire then spread
to tho new gin house of Mr. Win. A. Mar
tin, on the same lot, and.lt was burned,
with the gin, about a bale and a half of
cotton, a considerable quantity of cotton
seed and some other articles. The screw
by the side of tho gin-house was also
burnt, and,tho steam engine badly dam
aged. A large blacksmlthshop near the
gin-houso was tron down, and thus the
flatnce were prevented from communica
ting with the gin-house of Mr. Wesley.
Mr. W.. however, lost some w<>od aud
fencing.
The principal loss r falls on Mr. Win. A.
Martin, who ownc and tho gin-houso, scrow
and ootton. Wo understand that his loss
will probably amount to live or six hun
dred dollars, and,that ho had no Insur
ant;. Tho little shanties burnt belonged
to Mrs. Lloyd, and were not of much val
ue. The family In whose room the Are
broke out lost all their furniture. But for
the wind blowing tho flames In opposite
direction, tho largo brick store-house
owned by Mrs. Lloyd and occupied by
Mr. Win. A. Martin as u family grocery
store, would probably have been burned.
As It Mlmuld Be.
During tne cold snap of the last few
days wo have seen more homo-raised and
homo-fatted pork for sale on tho streets
than wo have noticed before in several
years. The farmers of the neighborhood
are bringing It In on wagons, and llnd
ready sate for It at Bc. No Western meat
compares with that which our people, in
formor years, raised and cured at home;
and none of the fancy brands of sugar
cutedhams, of tho present day, are nour
so sweet and good ns the old-fashioned
country hams. Wo hope It will come in
fashion again. Howe-mado mout and
bread, and a plenty of It, would compen
sate for a multitude of political griev
ances; and It we are to have tho last, let
us have the first also.

keep dear of the track, he did not take up
lu time to stop the train. All proper sig

Coleman, from intoxication It Is supposed,
in his confused anxiety to save Ills little
boy, fell on the track and pulled the llttlo
fellow with him, and before they could re

their life out.
The verdict of the jury In both cases
was: They came to their death by being

spends twice or thiee times as much as
the French, he earns two or Uireo times
as much; yet the American laborer luys
up miming, while the French laborer and
small farmer have money to lend their
government; th -lr old stockings are long
and lull Fiench wine ami silk mustb
more than cou u tel ba Ia in -ed ti\ our ex

they have no advantage over us m what

There Uhhu bo k before us writt-n by
Dr. William Hargreaves, entail'd, “Our
Wasted Resources." We wish lliat the

ponder well its stnakiug revelations—
they are revelation ot criminal waste—
the expenditure of almost Incalculable re
sume s lor that which brings nothing.
Worse than nothing, in return. There arc

the men who drink say simply. “W

France pioduces its own wine, and
drinks mainly cheap Wine. It is a drink
which, while it does tnetii no good, acc rd
mg to the show ing ot their own physt
claim, it docs not do them harm enough
Pilnterteie wi h iheir industry. Then
drinking wastes neilticr life nor mopey as
oufbdocs, and they sell in value to othci
countries more tuun ti.ev uriuk them
sel-cs. Du. ing ihe veer 1879, in our own
.State of New Yolk, there weie t-Xpeiideii
by coimtiniors for liquor more timu om

where, in consequence of this wasteful
stivmn of this llvry Haiti that constantly
Hows down the open gullet of the Sttte.
But *ur State is u>o al.me. The liquor
bill of Pentislv.iilia during 1871 was more
than SG-j,000,000, h sum equal to on*-third ol
tueentire agricultural pn daetot the?t tfc*.
Illinois paitl more than 812,000.000, hu<l
Ohio more that* S3B,OJO,(kK. Mo#BHchn
eetirt paid mote tlian $2.3,000,000, a sum
©qu I to Uve-BiXtlm of net* agricultural
produ< ts, while the liquor bill of Maine
was only about $4,250,000. Mr. Hat
greaves takes tiie Urines of Massachu
setts jind Maine to chow how a
prohibitory law dties, sf f er all, reduce the
< I linking; but it is not our purpose to ar
gue this question.
What we desire to show, is, that, with
an annual expenditure of $(*0,000,000 for
liquors in the United Btnte**—and all the
figures we give are based upon official
statistics—it is not to be wondered at that
the times are hard and the people poor.
Not only this vast sum is wasted; not on
ly Ihe capital invt sled is diverted from
good uses, and the indu-trv involved in
production taken from ihebenetlcent pur
suit h, but health, morality, respectability,
industry, and life are destroyed. Sixty
thousand Americans annually lie down in
a drunkard’s grave. It were better t>
bring inb) the Held and shoot &>wu sixty
thousand of our young every year, than
to have them go through all th* processes
of disease, degradation, crime, and des
pair through which they inevitably p Ss.
With sooo,ooo,uou saved to the country
annually, how long would it take to
make the United Slat *8 not only rich, but
able to meet, witln ut disturbance and
distfess, the revulsions in business t*
which all nations are liableV Twenty
five years of absolute abstinence from
the consumption of useless liquors would
stive to the country tliteui billion of dol
lars end make us ihe richest naiion on
the glob*'. Not only this sum—beyond tin*
imagination to compr* hend—would be
gave*!, but all the abominable consequence
of misery, diseHse. disgrace, crime and
death, ’hat would How from tneconsump
tion of such an enormous amount of poi
sonous fluids, would be saved. And yet
temperance men are looked upon us dis
turbers and fanatics! And we are ad
jured n tto bruig tunperanoe into pol
itics? And t his great transcendent' ques
tion of economy gets the go b'\ while we
hug our little issues for the sake of party
and of o&ce! Do wo not deserve adversi
