T. McDCNALD Editor. PLYMOUTH, IND. Thursday Mornins, October 22, 1S57. To the Patrons of the Democrat. As tho preaant Publishers of tho Demvcrct do not contemplate publishing it longer than until the expiration of the present volume, it is necessary that every farmer, mechanic, merchant, laborer, doctor, lawyer, fop and dead-head, who is in any way indebted to the office, should call and pay up without delay. The publication of the pnper haa caused some iudebtedness, which the Publishers desiro to liquidate prior to the expiration of the present volume, which will bo about the 15:h of Norerabsr. They wish every debtor, who reads this notice, to consider himself personally and individually called upon for a settlemen!. The following are the official majorities of the different candidates nt the election 5a this county, on the 13:h inst.: Circuit Judge, Osborne. 882, Treasurer, Ogksboe, 110; Recorder, Houghton, 74; Com'r 2nd DUt., Ray. 23; Coroner, Ilmnbotham, 24. ig?i Great Fire and IiOSS Of Life! in Chicago A disastrous conflagration, attended by a dreadful loss of lifo, occurred in Chicago, on Monday night. The fire broke cut in Nos. Ill and 113, South Wa ?er st.; and property to the amount of between $630.000 and 8700.000 coneumed. The origin of the calamity has not yot been satisfactorily ascertained. The greatest misfortune attending the fire, was tho sacrifice of human life. Nineteen bodies had been exhumed from jhc smouldering ruins up to Tuesday evening, and it was thought ail had not yet been recovered. In regard to those still missing ihe Times says there is no longer any doubt that Mr. Russell, an attached of that office perished in the conflagration ; but that his body, with others, was reduced entirely to asl.es by the intense hea'., and will not therefore be found. Tho great loss of lif; was attributable to the falling walls of the burning buildings. The Chicago Times says : We have locked upon many scenes of distress, but taking all things into consi 1era tun, the scenes of ye-Urday were trulv heart-rending. From the hour it was known that this sad calamity had taken off human victims, there has res'ed on the community a painful restlessness, a nervous desire to know the worst, and know it all. As the news ws 3 communicated throughout the city on Monday, that beneath the walls of these burned building3 were deposited human bodies, wives and feisteis, mothers, fv.hers, brothers and children looked out in anxiety for the return of absent ones When the breakfast time was over, and dinner come and gone, and the shadows of the evening sun grew long and dark, and Pliil the loved ones came not, that anxietv became intense. When night fell upon the 4arth on Monday, there were dozens of agonized hearts doomed to another night's uncertainty; and around the smoking ruins throughout that long night, faithful wives and daughters kept vigil. Cold, and smoke, -and darkness chilled no heart thut niht ; the 8tronghope thai the horrid wreck would not disgorge the mangled rem tins ot lved cn;s, shut out all wxternal feeling ; and yet fear, with its skeptical hand, would lead the watchers to the brink of the smoking chasm, and point out amid the shapeless rai'f, wiih terrible distinctness those forms o dearly remembered. Dawn found those fratchers at their post. The eaily laborer found them grouping ineffectually in the .cellars, and throughout the day yesterday, they were there. As each body was discovered and borne through Like and Clark Btreeta to tiw Coroner's tfiice, thes poor distressed creatures would fullow it.endeav. onng to penctrato i:s sable covering to see if it uere indeed the form they wished it was not. When each body was uncovered, and the time for rccogni.iou was come, it was painful to witness the fceene. Wives who nd mournfully clamored for ilvir husbands for many hours, hung back and ft-a.ed to look upon the mangled, burned fiame. lest it migh prove tuo truo that such an object Ta3 all that was left of the bold, vigorous manhood that had gone f-rth to the fire in all the pride of lifo. Children wailed in plain tivti tones for a sight of their fathers, and shrunk back horror-s'ricken from the ghastly corpse, denying with childish pride that such was their beloved parent. ' Oh, the agony of those hearts which yesterday bled in anguish over the disfigured bodies of kindred ! who can fathom the depths of iL 1 1 ., ineir sorrow ; wno can aesenrw tne cease less torture of their distress V Another ulividcii(l."

The election ia this State, ac cording to late nd vices, has resulted in favor of Cht, republican candMaf.3 for Govern -

In this State the Democrats gain largely on the vote of last year. It is generally conceded that it has gone for the republicans. Minnesota. So far a9 heard from the Democrats gain so largely over their vote at the election of delegates, thai they have undoubtedly succeeded by a handsome majority. Kansas. We have no definite news from Kansas, but enough is known to insure a majority of the officers for tho republicans and free-State Democrats. The majorities range from 5,000 to 7,000.

The accident on the N. Y. Central road last evening was the most disastrous that has happened on this read for many years. The cats were under full headway, and as they approached Nine Mile Creek, between Warren station and Syracuse, the engine suddenly plunged otf the track, darling down the embankment, which was some 15 or 2 ) feet hi::h. info the creek.

From the Detroit Free Press. Bank Reform. . A world of experience may be gained fiom the experience of the present revulsion, which if the country will but profit by it, will not be dearly bought. It is conceded on pretty much alUiands. that the

pnper money system lies at the bottom of I tlv prevailing troubles, in view of which the f llowing reforms are suggosted : I. A limitation of bank circulation of three dollars for one of specie. II. No bills undea five dollars fir the present, and none under 821) af.er January 1859. J III. Loans on call to bi lirai'ed to five per cent, of capital. IV. Long credits to be relinquished bv our importers and j ibbers; four to six months to be substituted for eiht to nine mon'hs. V. No loans to be granted to lailroad companies except in ex'ieme cases ; no railroad company cn be well managed whose expenditure exceed their receipt. VI. Abolish the usury laws, and let money be free between tho borrower and the lender. These are all good. htr. the very best amonijthem is the prohihi io. of no.es o a less deiiornina i n than tvren-y dollars.

Prem in in Penmanship

The Iron City Commercial College, of Pittsburgh, Pa., has taken first Premiums at the principal fairs in the- United States the present season, for unrivaled excellence in Penmanship The first premium was awarded for best business and ladies penmanship, card -writing, pend rawing, and off hand flourishing, at the fairs held in Cincinnati, Wheeling, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Beaver, Greensburg. Monongahela City. Philadelphia, and at the Unitd States fair, held in Louisville. The penmanship was executed bv Professor Cowley, the teacher of writing in the Iron City College, who thus, by general consent, stands at the head of his profession in the United States. Those, therefore, who desire instructions in writing, and wish the best, should bear this important fact iti mind, especially young men who are preparing themselves in those requisites necessary to buisness success in after life.

Think how mmy things they do for you; how patient they are with you ; how they love you in spite of all your ill-temper or rudeness ; how thoughtful they are of vour comfort, and be you 'houghtful for theirs. Be ever ready to oblige them, and if they express a wish, be ready to gratify it if possible. You do not know how much happiness you may find in so doing. 1 never yet knew a happy and respected ma i who was not in his youth kind to his sisters. Thire is a beautiful song which says : Be kin-1 to your sisters not many may know The depth of true sisterly lore": The depth of the ocean lies fathom bclo w The surface that sparkles above. Jfc&" TJ. S. Attorney General Black has decided that if stamps are stolen, or lost from a post office, the postmaster is responsible to government for them. He says : ' One who has the custody of public money or property, and is paid for taking care of it, cannot get rid of his responsibility by showing a theft or an accidental lss. lie is an insurer of itS3 safety against all perils of that kind." Critical Condition of England. Perhaps the condition of England is really more criiic.il now than it has been for a long time. The last weekly statement of the Bank of England received shows a dim-minu-ion of gold eual to SI. 364,000, and the diain of bullion to tho East and the continent of Europe continued, and it was about to commence to thin country. A correspondent at London, under date of Sept. 23.1, writes that " a little really important good news from India, would operate marvelouslv upon the money market." We may conclude, then, considering he existing nervousness, that a little really important bad news would operate not less marvelously. Wo are in the midst cf an unprecedented cricis in ?his country ; they are upon the brink of one on the other side, th extent of which may in some degree be determined by the next news from India. We suspect the Sepoys have a poor esti mate of all tho possible consequences of their revolt. A New Town.

Tho wounds were dep enough to reach th lungs, and respiration in both cases was through tho wounds mainly. Jealousy was the cause. Weaver is a merchant and O'Xeil a tavernkeeper. 3T It has hitherto bean maintained that the curl in a pig's tail was more for ornament thau use. The position is no longer tenable. A large sow was seen walking dow.1 Broadway some time ago, with a piece of red tape attached to the said curl, from which was suspended a card, on which was written "Patrick Doolan's Pio Betseyl' K3T Mr. Choate wai arguing a case before a full bench of tho Supreme Court of Massachusetts, when he. wishing to compliment Judge ghr.w, exclaimed. "When I look upon the venerable Chief Justice, I am liko tho Hindoo beforo his idol I know that he is uglv, but I feel (bat he is vory great."

The rapid disappearance before the axe of the planter and the timber getter, of the yellow pine of the South, so

valuable in hip-buildmg, has attracted the attention of government, from its intimate connection with our naval service; and for the first lim public pine lands have been withdrawn from sale, with a view of holding them for the future use of the navy. The district thus reserved lies "way down upon the iSuanee River," in the Sjuc of Florida. Vet. Free Press. Steamer Sunk. Ten or Twelve Lives Lost. By telegraphic dispa'ches, dated at Boonyille, on the 17th inst., we learn that the Lightning Line packet Tropic, Capt. Marshall, has been sunk in the Missouri Hi ver. The accident, of which no panic mars are contained in tho dispatches, occurred on the 14th inst., at Waverly.' Another dispatch to Major Bryant, U. S. Marshal, stales the loss of life to bo ten or twelve persons. Neitherof the dispatches give any further account of the sinking or loss of life. The next arrival from the Missouri should bring full particulars, and as the accident happened on the 14th inst., such an arrival is due. The boat is doubtless a total los3, but the most melancholy circumstance connected with the disaster, is the loss of life attending it. The boat was not a valuable one, and was one of the regular line of packets between Jefferson City and Weston. The Tropic was on her way from Weston to Jefferson City when the nccident happened. St. Louis Bepultlican, 19th. FireSerious Loss. About 9 o'clock on Monday evening a fire occured at the Union City Foundry and Machine shop, located midway between this city and LaSalle. The main building was a fine brick structure, three stories in height, with large workshops attached to each end. The evening was unusually calm, and the fire burned very slowly, giving the owners time to save considerable property. We are informed the loss will amount to about 25,000, partly insured. About 20 workmen will be thrown out of employment. Peru Sentinel. Died, In this place, on the morning of the w 15th instant, Charles L., infant son of Joseph C. and Lovina L. Leonard aged 11 months and 12 days. PLYMOUTH RETAIL PRICES
