THURSDAY, TUN 2S, 1877. TUE COUNTY DIVISION. Our remarks of a few weeks puce hare, as warned certainly expected they would, roused the ire of some of those most deeply interested, and who, to put the matter lightly, would raise the very heavens to defeat the division of the counties, if by this they could put another tent into their respective mon- ey -bag or keep one fromgoing out.— They scent, Also, to have kindled e flame in the sanctums of some of our coteaiporaries, to judge by their re. W , same time the commotion was great, and can neither be imagined nor de- scribed. The fire first broke out in some belle* -shops in Portland, a sub orb of St. John i,ing to the north of the city and harbor, and containing 12,000 or more inhabitants, The neigh. borhood of the fire would be only too well supplied with materials favorable to the progress of sue - eanfiagration as ensued. The a merely,' portion of St, John form rather irregular quadrangle more .ded on three sides by water ; it had its system of water supply at coramandand a very efl'eo- tiva fere° of steam r& engines. Yet, although the fire Drat occurred at half - past two o'clock in the afternoon when, consequently, no tittle would be logit in preparing to oonhbet its fury, the angry Haines, driven before a strong north- west wind, swooped down upon their prey and defied eeery effort to stay their onward progress. The new post office, erected by the Domiuieu (lov- ernntent et a cost of $200,000,'avas one of the earliest victims ; the Custom ' House wash followed ; the V=ictoria Hotel --a epleudid building, erected at great personal sacrifice by some of the leading citizens --teas speedily =smil- ed. There are four daily newspapers in St. John, aed every one of their offices were burned to the ground ; all the banks and bank ageucies save one ; the finest school house its the city, and many mailer ouea; the City Ball ; the Water Gomnsissionera' office ; the 'Western Caron Telegraph ut1 co; all marks. The Free .Pass says that"the:the ?usutaace offices ; the wows room ; townships are not anxious for mita() police °Bice; every wholesale and change, nor is it likely they Hili nerdy every retell warehonee or store urea to it." In this cavo the wish let. re +swept away. The shipping caught fife, and a large number of vessels were honied to the water's ettge ; even has most certainly been father to the thought, We have made particular iry, ;t., #, e nd that not only the es proposed to form the uuty, but others, are desirous of change. It is the simplest thing atltle to frame a denial, but an- other thin, to substantiate it. No ar. galenite eau possibly be adduced which point to a greater benefit to these munioipalitiee by remaining as they are iustoad of becoming part and par- cel of the now desired county. The Pree Press cannot be blamed for wish- ing Middlesex to remain in its present entirety. It well knows the position tlho3 county stands in with regard to the jail, And that the inapoot ,pwill brook no liiorts of the tedious PM vexatious delays the t'riunty Cbuueil would im- pose but insist on new county "buildings being erected immediately.

The Danube hes at length been crossed by the Russian army and the English Parliament has voted a large sum of money for the protection of her power i e East.

His iml'atieneo continued during the: diversious of dinner*, fetes and .epeetaoles t, aud finally the passage of the Danube was mads. The Rus- sian Telegraphic Agency says the peace of Europe is perfectly assured. The reault of tlic war so far from imperil- liuglt, will coneolidato it. the removal of goods and housed effects to rafts in the harbor did at save there from the fierce pursuer.. Some lives wore lost, and . rneuy per- sons were said to be missing, but in the coufueion it would be impose:1de to ascertain the number. As rapidly ae the wires could convoy the intelligence so rapidly did assistance pour in. The loss is away up in the millions, and the assistance already rendered iimounts to about $170,000. We feel certain that iu a few short mouths, the burned por- tion of the city will be rebuilt with buildings far more substantial than those wh esti place they take. Loss, $80,000,000 ; insuranue, $5,OCOj000. are not so anxious to spend money on buildings to grace a county from which they ieisle to stake themselves. At the lest meeting of the Middlesex County Council that body deferred taking any sic`:fan or the erection of the county buildings nntil the December session, es they Paw it was impossible to much longer Keep the county in its present shape, aud they wished to see the di- vision take place before any steps were taken.

It has been a desideratum with the medical prefee ion to pi opine r. pep - ant ion of iron less objectionable than. any of those now in use, which often procure unfavorable etfectis upon the system, especially wheu prepared with. alcoholic fluids. In many cases of debility and con- valescence from tli, ease, where a tonio is indicated, wine, brandy, porter, &c, have been recommended ; but these aro of very doubtful efficacy, to say the least. Alcohol is never digested, is ranked among the diffusible stimuli. and is incapable of affording nutrition.. it creates generally an Unnatural ex• ctternent and dehangeluent of the cir- culation, irritating the whole system by preveutil.g the blood for losing its carbon. Again, Trow difficult it is to obtain an.article npproaahing to pur- ity, almost alt the wines, brand es, porters, &c., being snore or less adult- erated. Such being the ease with regard to spirituous preparations of iron, and the alcoholic driuks, of which any one can satisfy himself by , inveeti ;sting the subject, an opportunity is now pre. emoted In the PERuvl*\ Sv'nr.P, for the trial of an article in genera practice,• which has the very strongest recom- niendations from medical and sciensi- fio mien of the highest character --a proparatioi which s0 happily cora. blues the protoxide of iron with the outer constituent parts that the effects incident to the use of iron salts are en- tirely obviated.
