BELMONT CHRONICLE. BELMONT CHRONICLE. ST. CLAIRSVILLE, OHIO THURSDAY MORNING, Oct. 26th, 1871. The Chicago Tribune estimates the loss by the lata fire at $100,000,000. Nev? York gave $1,200,000 to Chicago. The call for a Constitutional Conven' tion has been carried by over 70,000. The Itepublicail Governor of Iowa has 37,701 majority.

The fires in Wisconsin and Michigan have ceased their terrible demonstra tions; at least: there is no report of far ther ravages. aa. The Chicago subscriptions will a- nount to about $20,000,000. Her insu rance amounts to $125,000,000. Eebuil i Ting has commenced, and business has ten resumed generally. The United Statas troops have been arresting the Ku Klur -by wholesale in South Carolina. In some places they meet with strong opposition from those well organized bands. A son of Robert Toombs is supposed to be the Grand Cyclops of the State. Many have escaped to Georgia. Attorney General Pond has decided th casting of lots by the Noble County candidates for Representative who re ceived an equal number of votes, to be illegal; hence Spriggs is not Represen tative yet. The matter must be re ferred to th State Officers. The Columbus Journal sees which way the wind blows and announces that fact as fellows: Pennsylvania weat into the late can vass with a resolution in the Republi can fctate piatrorm indorsing not only tne administration; oil indorsing urant specially ana Dy name ror re nomiaation in 1872. Result: majority ea state tic&et quadruple. Upon the heels of the good news from Brazil comes the annoncement that the Jiang or biam nas decreed tne emanci pation of all slaves in his dominions on the first day of January, 1872. The number, of persons to be set free placed at 2,000,000. This shows that natiens more remote from civilization are moving forward, and give us hope that the day i3 not far distant when the earth shall contain only freemen. Incidents of the Fire. Frem the Chicago Tribuae. The Chicago correspondent of the Boston Post says it is believed that John McDevit, the billiard player and ex-ckampion of the United States, per- lsnea in tne names, jucuevlt was asleep in Thomas Foley's billiard room. He was last seen oa the steps of the Tribune office. An lowan heard oijthe fire on Sunday morning; on Sunday evening be took passage for Chicago to succor the fam ilyofhis son, who was living here, At a wayside station not far from Chi cago, he heard that the Water Works were burned, and that there was scarcity of water. Not beine familiar with our eeoeranhical positioa. he pur chased a cask and brought it full water to Chicago. A philanthropic expressman cnargea iim any dollars ideace. It was certainly a case of well- meant, but misapplied benevolence. A St. Paul paper of the 17th says: "A story is related of the proprietor oi at. Caroline s uourc a hotel on the West Side, of Chicago, illustrative General Sheridan's idea of the eternal fitness of things. The General called and inquired the price of board. "Six dollars a day," was the reply. "The price before the fire?" inquired the General. "Two dollars and a half." General Sheridan replied that he would run that hotel himself, and at $2,50 per day. lie piacea an orderly in cnarge, ana at once put a stop to exorbitant charges." One of the impudent actions performed during the fire was related yesterday, umnton iiUnt.Jbisq., one of our oldest and best citizens, had dragged him piano from his residence: on Michigan avenue, and was toiling along witn it, wnen two men witn dray accosted him and asked him whom it belonged. He replied that was his own, and received the astound ing information that they would like him to prove it. Without another word they placed the instrument on their vehicle and drove off. Of course remonstrance was useless. He has not seen the piano since. The following curious incident well authenticated. Mrs. the housekeeper of a prominent hotel, hud made up her mind to leave the city iew aays oeiore tne nre. one naa not drawn any of her salary for some time and it amounted to $1,000. On Satur day the amount was handed to her by the proprietors. The boarders at the same time got np a testimonial amoun ting toflott and presented her with the money that evening. She deDosl ted the greenbacks under the carpet in a crner of her room. When the fire was raging Mrs rushed into ber room, and succeeded In saving a favor ite canary bird,'. But she forgot all about the money. John Gil vln, of Decatur, was yes terday helping to get a safe out of the ruins en South Water Street, near the Union Depot. The men had got the ea nearly on the sidewalk, when it supped back on them, This man came along and asked what wag the matter with the safe, and one of them said It had slipped off the rollers and had gone back on them. He said "Get out of my way," and seized on it like Sampson, lifted it up and walked to the wagon with it, and -threw it on the wagon, iiecaugnt it on tne bottom edge raff 'id it With the force levered against hisbreast, and walked off with it. The proprietor said it weighed $2, 464 ponnds. The man then offered to bet $500 he can carry 3,000 pounds. He is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, weighs perhaps 280 pounds, built like a Hercules, and about 88 years old. He was a brick layer in Macon. THE CHICAGO FIRE. A Significant Text. of of to it Is a A Chicago lady, in a telegram to the New York Tribune, relates the follow ing incident, which we do not remem ber to have seen mentioned before: On Sunday morning. October 8. Rob ert Collyer gave his people what we all ieit to oe a wonaenui sermon, on the text: "Thinkye that those upou whom the tower of Siloam fell were sinners above all those who dwelt at Jerusa lem V and illustrated it bv a picture of the present life, and our great cities, tneir grandeur, uieir wickedness, and the auwfuLthough strictly natural.con- consequences of our Insatiable pursuit of woraiy prosperity, too often un checked by principle: and instanced the many recent dreadful catastroohies as signs that not the Erie speculators alone, not the contractors alone, not the recognizor! sinners alone, but we every man and woman In the United States, were responsible for these hor rors, inasmuch as we did not work, fight, bleed and die. if necessary, to establish Buch publicropinion as should mane tnem impossible. The London Tnies savs: "The American war has shown how prodig ious are the resources of the United States, which emerged from the strug gle witn a credit and renown placing tnem in tne irontranK or nations." The authorities of Columbiana coun ty have already paid seventy-nine tnousana tnree iiunarea ana ninety five dollars on their new court house.

At Canton, a man named Harford, voted his doctor bill, at the late elec tion, instead of his ticket. It wasn't counted. Peoria, 111- had a haunted house, un til the proprietor fired half a pint of bird snot into a young man named Mc- Uraw. The woman suffragists have already a petition signed by upward or a thou sand Washington ladies, praying Con gress to pass a declaratory law, to the effect that women now have the right to vote under the Fourteenth Amend ment. The "Hearth and Home" says: "The oracles of the human soulspeak in favor of the purity and perpetuity of mar riage. .Men may forsake the oracles and live like brutes. Men may fore sake the oracles and build socialisms out of their own fancies. It is all the worse for them. But the institutions, the loves, the moral impulse of the race are on the side of marriage," Casyville, near Salt Lake, contains seventy-three husbands, who have, in the aggregate, three hundred and forty- seven wives ana nve Hundred and twenty-two children. An election will be held in West Vir- inia to-day for delegates to Constitu tional Convention. In Wheeling the Kepublicaus have, nominated a strong, 8 regressive ticket, as follows: A. W. ampbell, formerly editor of the Wheel ing Intelligencer, Hon Benjamin Stan ton, and S It. Woodward. Among the questions to oe determined by the Conventioniara a return to the viva voice mode oi voting, instead of the ballot. as under tne present constitution; an abanaonmentoi tne township system, and the adoption of an internal im provement policv. like that now in or- eration in Virginia. Gen. Grant ha concluded that Tom Murphy, Collector of New York, will have to give place to some one else more acceptiDie to tne people. There are other Government officials through out thecountry equally obnoxious to the people, who need looping off for the credit of the party and the interests the country. The gratiiying intelligence comes from Constantinople that the progress of the cholera has been checked, and the alarm which was felt concerning the spread of the epidemic eastward and toward Europe and the west Is sub siding. Among the churches destroyed tne recent conflagration in unicago, there were fifteen Catholic, twelve Methodist, six Presbyterian, and great many others, forming a total seventy-two churches, convents and nunneries laid waste by the devouring element. The New Bedford Standard says that a mate or a wnaier recently returned from a voyage, proposed marriage to girl belonging to a village not far dis tant from A ew .Bedford. She wanted wait till he went another voyage, and he left and engaged himselt to a more pliable female of that city, who consen ted to be married riht off.

You are most respect fully requs ted to attend the 3d Annual Reunion of Sherman Biigade, to be heU at Shelby, O., on Wednesday, the 1st day of November, 1871. Remem ber, it is not in vain that we recount the story of the War. It cannot be re peated too often, nor d welt on t wo long. We of this generation must treasure up its simple incidents and record them not to glorify ourselves, but that our children may know bv how much suffering at home, and also at what expense of priceless blood in the field, their liberties have been fire- served to them to the end that the devotion to country, which has insnir- ea anu exaueu ine men ana women of to-day, may become an exhautiess wellspnng of patriotism. Nor is it with out benefit to ourselves that we meet to gether iu our social annual reunions. Our meeting do us good minelina with one another clasping the hands of comrades endeared bv manv com mon dangers, looking into each other's familiar face, we find renewed within ourselves that fervent love of country which swelled our hearts when danger was upon us this is all renewed before one another in our meetings we re new our vows of fidelity to our country. wego nence oaptisea a new into ;.er service as zealous now in this blessed time of peace to guard the honor of her nag as we were to uphold it in the gloom of war. .Now, comrades, one nn-1 :tre ur gently requested to cn.ne. ui-l let us make thin Re-union one that will never be forgotten, and one that we will be proud of, and all will be happy that they come, uome one, come alt .ev erything Is being done that can be to mane u pieusani ana enjovaoie lor ail.

The best we ever ate we made ourselves for many years, and for a considerable time with our own hand, and always from Savoy cabbage. It was manufactur ed in this wise: In the first place.letyour "stand," holding from a half barrel to a barrel, be thoroughly f?aiaea out: the cutter, the tub and the stamper also well se.ided. Take off all the out er leaves of the cabbages, halve them, remove the heart and proceed with the cutting. Lay some clean leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprinkle with handful of salt, fill in half a bushel of cut cabbage, stamp gently until the juice just makes its appearance, then add another handful of salt, ana so on until the stand is tull. (Jover over with cabbage leaves, place on top a clean board, fitting the space pretty well, and on top of that a stone weighing twelve or fifteen pounds; Stand away In cool place, and when hard fieezing comes on remove to the cellar. It will oe reaay ior use in irom nur to six ww-ks. The cabbage should be cut tol erably coarse. The Savoy variety makes the best articles, bnt it is only half as productive as the Drumhead and Flat Dutch. Ex. The origin of the great Chicago fire ought to be settled.

One of our correspondents, tracing this story to its source' was told by the wo man who owned the shanty on the corner of De Koven and Jefferson streets that the flames were not started in the barn, she plausibly argued, milking at 10 o'clock at night. It was her belief that the flames were started in the rear of the barn, and were caused by the upsetting of a kerosene lamp some tipsy tailor. .The story of the cow is nevertheless the popular one. For the sake of truth let the facts thoroughly searched out.

A Democratic Journal gets off the ioiiowmg: "It- would be an execrable disgrace us to premit he base born Yankees and beer-drinking Germans to control the Sunny South." These two make the union of Pilate and Herod, and hard it is to say which is the most sneaking and mean. The gaunt and cadaverous xankee and the bloated and besotted German make a fit pair oi wL-eips. The noble chivalry of the south scorns them both.

The statue was framed by Mormons to punish adultery. and was intended to be framed in such a way as to protect polygamy: but the Gentile judge and jury, have assumed that a plurality or wives is an adulter ous cohabitation, ana nave thereupon brought in a verdict of euilty of a crime for which tne limit of imprison ment is from three to twenty years or a fine of $1,000, or both fine and impris onment. It has been said that it is im possible l indict a whole people: but thsu it is, in fact, the indictment of people of near 100,000, who went into the wilder.iess to enjoy liberty in their own peculiar ways. Prince Napoleon has gone to Coisica, where the Bonapartists are alleged to be planning dreadful things against the Bepublic Warned by historic exam ple, the French Government has order ed the coast guard to look out for sus picious vessels and any possible descent of a Bonapartist expedition; but though history does repeat itself, there seems to be little probability that any repre sentative of tne line of the real JNapo- leon will land at a French port and march on Paris with a Moniimr mark ing his progress with varying grada tions from Frejus to the capital and from "Monster" to "the Emperor" Another poor girl has died in Vir ginia from the use of tobacco, at the age of one hundred.
