SATURDAY OCTOBER 21, 1871. JMTTHK CI ICtMiATION OF TrfR DJH PATCK VP. LAKOEK THAW THE COMillNED IRCULATION (.FALL TH5 OTHffK DAILY NKWSPA I'FRS OF THE CITT. 4 hlOB?;a I(pm?. Chicago, October 19. The first real estate transaction of any magnitude wince the tire was made this morning. H. (J. Hinsdule sold to S. B. Bryon forty one feet j In Dearljorn Place hy eighty-two feet on Kandolph street, in the burnt, district, for $50,000. Mr. Hiusdale bought the property 1 a yeur ntro for $40,000. Since the tire it is worth $C0, 000. The losses of Cyrus IT. McCormlck amount to $750,000. He will rebuild the reaper factory and warehouses at once. Judge W. TV. Farwell sent a communiea- tion to the Board of Trade to-duy in which 1 he proposes to erect a building on the southwest corner of Market and Washing-, ton streets, with a room in it ninety-feet square, which he gives to the board rent free. The oiler was accepted. The build ing is to be completed in forty days. Mrs. Leroy, of 137 Dekoven street, In whose barn the lire originated, pronounces j the story fake that the lire broke out j owing to the carrying of a kerosrne lamp into the stable. She was in bed and asleep when the tire commenced. .Six new steam-tire engines arrived here last night from .New York, to increase the force of the Fire Department. Insurance Swindling.? A carclul Cbti- mate of the insurance companies of this city gives u pretty hopeless product for the j citizens insured thereiu. Firemen's, with j uninsured risks on the Lumbermen's* us- sets, $275,000 losses, between ?2,000,000 and $4,000.000 State, as:>ets, $*02,000 losses. $3,000,000 Equitable, assets, ?121,- 000; losses, ?1,000,000. These three eom- panics will not pay ten cents on the dollar, j Xeic York Tribune's Chicago letter. The Molten Gold.? There passed through Lancaster, Pa.. on Monday morn ing, en route to the United States Mint in Philadelphia, two ?afcs taken irom the Chi cago fire, and containing gold coin which hud been more or les< melted by the <4 fcr j vent heat." One of them weighed 1,058 pounds and the other 090 pounds. Money Enough.? The sum of five mil-; lions, which has been sent by generous Christendom to Chicago, would yield, if it were equally divided, the sum of ?200 to each of these families. W isely and economically administ< red, it is a comfort to think that this ought to suffice not only to prevent suffering, but do a great deal toward mtu kin# the needy comfortable. yew York Tribune L r a b e h.? There are fully 250,000.000 feet now in the yards of Chicago, and the supply will continue to be abundant. Price three dollars per thousand. A Brar City.? The rush of strangers and business speculators is great: all the Chi 1 gago hotels are packed, with five and six in a room all private boarding-bouses are filled, and all re>hJeneesare pretty crowded by refugees from the other side. Hotel men are coming in to take a turn in tho new wheel of foitune, and before Ions the place will be one vast caravansary. Street j cars and stages are beginning to fun regu larly through the burned streets, and com munication is quickly restoring itself throughout all the divisions. Bricks Better than Stone.? It is aseer- tained that no stone ever used in the busi- j j ness part of the city is worth a farthing in j such a lire. Briek'is the only thing that comes out whole and is ready to try it again. The future Chicago will" be a city of bricks. So says Horace White, one of the editors j of the Chicago Tribune. "Puss in tiie Corner."? Hath a cat' nine lives 'r That is the que.-tiou being earnestly debated in all quarters to day. A j cat has actually been recovered, alive and squalling, from" the desolate ruins of the post-office and custom-house building. 1 nave with the?e orbs beheld that feline salamander. She still wears her royal vest ment ot fur, and retains her lung-power and her appetite, both marvellously im proved. She had stuck her legs in the water and her head in the sewer, whence she drew air, and probably also smelt mice: and when the building collapsed a column fell so as to shelter her. A million dollars in gold had melted into bullion within twenty feet of her.? World's Chi caoo letter. ii i Court Stumped by a Question Raised by a Witness.? Concord, X. If., October 17.? A number of liquor cases came before the Supreme Court, now sitting in this city. This alternoon Hamilton L. Kami's case was under consideration, and a witness de clined to testify, saying he was not- bound to criminate himself on the stand. He was j supported by counsel, who argued that be i was not compelled to answer, as bis testi mony might show that by offering compen sation for liquor he had induced the com- J mission of crime, and thus become an ac complice, and as such was as liable to puuishment as the person selling him liquor. A debate between counsel and Judge Doe continued over two hours, and the Judge's Anal decision was that the question raised was so important that he should not com pel witness to testify neither would he commit him for contempt of court, but he suggested that the case be continued and go before a full bench. This was agreed to. Robbery ok a Contractor. Ham's burg Pa., October 18.? Mr. Rice, a con tractor from Pottstown, on his way to St. Mary's, Pa., was robbed of $16,000 in this city. Pepper was thrown In his eyes and the satchel containing the money taken. The Market fob Hog Products.? The 1 St. Louis Republican carcfully reviews the prospects of the comimr hog crop in the light of the Chicago catastrophe. It says that tie stocks of meats on band in the West would be placed by au actual count below 15,000,000 pounds, and concludes "that while extreme high prices are not probable at any time in the season, farmers 1 can to a large "extent control the value of their product and if not frightened by a sudden closeness of the money market, can obtain a fairly remunerative value for every hot? they raise? better pi ices in December than .November" D. McDanlel won the first as well as the fourth race at Jerome Park on Tuesday. A white man in Nevada mu'dered a Chinese washerman for refusing him credit. The Indians have raided into Young county, Texas, and run off 1,^00 head of cattle and many horses. The barge Twilight) with lumber, drifted ashore near Kincardine, Ontario, and all hands are supposed to have peri-lied. By decree of the Mexican Government J the port of Magdalen Bay, Lower Cali fornia, will be closed on and alter the tflst of December next. Men are the same the world over. They call M. Thiers Old Specs" in Paris? the very title by which General S. is known to the Lexington cadets. The Green Bay Adoocate states that the loss of the Peshtigo Company bv the recent tires in the lumber region was >W60,000; in surance, ^100,000. A free ballot having been reudercd im possible by military interference in the September election in Toland county, C'al., the Democrats have brought suit to test its validity. The report of a British cruiser after a fugitive fishing vessel off Gloucester, Mass., has now every appearance of a false report, hut the citizens of the town have arranged to merge their excitement in a $000 banquet to the fugitive when she comes.

A "Voice from Chicago.?' The following letter addressed to Captain William Eng lish, of Richmond, by his nephew In Chi cago, Rives some idea of the individual losses In that ill-fated city, and not only justifies what has been spent for her relief, but shows that much more will be needed before Charity's work is done: Chicago, October 14, 1871. My Dear Uncle,? I have only time to hastily send you word that I have escapcd with life. Father's store (wholesale milli nery) was burned down, as likewise mv law office, with all its contents. T saved no't one scrap. If the insurance companies of the East stand, father will get back one-half to two-thirds his loss. My loss was $2,200 (all I had), and recovery of part depends on j the solvency of the banks and insurance companies. About all I have left is youth, undespairing energy, and capital in my head and if I can find law business to do, I cannot complain? of course, though, law business Is and will be nearly destroyed. "Of your charity do you and your citi zen neighbors send relief to the 40,000 destitute who in a week will have nothing to eat. Organize through vour churches and every way to help decrease the num ber of those "who inevitably will die of starvation. Three hundred Catholic orphans are now housed in the Jesuit college near me. 44 Let your Catholic churches and sodali ties make systematic efforts, and send what they can to the Catholic Bishop of Chicago. Tongue cannot tell the desolation and suffering". 4t My address is 393 west Taylor street. Hastily, your affectionate nephew, William J. English." Pacific Insurance Company.?
