FIRE-We learn from Mr.. VIM. T. Little, Of
Linn Grove, that the stable Of Mr. James Ken
worthy, about four miles north of Lynnville, on
the Grinncll road was burned on Wednesday of
last week, aud a valuable pair of horses, calf,
q good set of harness, a saddle and lot of corn
were consumed. The horses we're splendid pair
of sorrels, valued at 5000; the entire loss is
about $500. The FIRE was blown into the hay
from stovepipe in the house, by the high wind,
and although discovered by neighbors close by
ere it had fairly started, yet before anything
could be done to check it, the ruin was complete.

publican of the l2th says: "Braford, the Chief
Of the Winnebagos, was in town Yesterday with
a party of his people. They have been encamped
for some time below. They are now on their
way to their Reserve in Minnesota to cultivate
their corn patches"
FRE.-The same paper states that the house
of B. S. Freeman was burnt to ashes on Thurs.
day, during the absence of the family.
SAD. CAUsALrY.-The Republican also records
the sudden death of Mr.. John Miller, much res
pected citizen, living short distance north of
Waver,y 1t occurred as follows: While driving
his team, aud. walking by the side of loaded
wagon, he tripped and fell with his head between
the wheels. Ills son, who was short distance
in the rear. came up Immediately, but a groan
from the fallen man was the only sign of life ex-
hibited Medical assistance was procured at
once, but to no purpose A post norton exami
nation was had, but no traces Of disease about
the vital organs were found 1t is supposed that
his head must have fallen between the spokes o.
the forward wheel, and by sudden revolution
of it, his neck was dislocated.
FIRE--We learn that the dwelling house o.
Mr.. A. R. Coyner, residing about miles nortl
of Bloomfield was consumed by fire on the night
of the eighth inst The fire originated from the
smoke house which took fire and quickly spread
to the dwelling People cannot be too careful
with fire this dry weather.
johnson, the Dubuque murderer, who removed
his case from Dubuque to Delaware county BY
change of venue, has been convicted and sen
fenced to be hung on the 18th of May.
AccIDESr-We learn from the Dubuque Time;
that DR.. Lewis of that city met with an acciden
on Tuesday last, which came very near proving
fatal. He went into a mineral hole near hi
residence, and while in the mine, saw large rocl
projecting from the side Of the drift, underneath
which he dug with pick, for the purpose O
finding out the nature of the soil beneath. TIL,
rock fell, burying him underneath. He was res
cued by the miners and conveyed to his residence
where medical aid was immediately procured
Nothing but the softness of the ground WHEREOF
he was standing saved him from instant death.
FInE-De7aoyube Loss.-During the high wine
on Tuesday last, the house of Mr.. Hardin Searcy
twelve miles west of this, caught fire from the
stove pipe, and as the flames increased with as
tonishing rapiiity, the house was entirely con
sumed, with nearly every article of furniture ant
clothing within, leaving MIR. Searcy and his large
family with only the wearing apparel they had or
at the time. Mr.. Searcy's loss cannot be much
less than two thousand dollars, as he had lately
been keeping public house, and had an estra
amount of furniture, bedding and furnishing FOL
hotel keeping Through the active exertions Of
Mr. Wright Stacy and other friends, on Friday and
Saturday last, considerable amount of money,
clothing and other needtul articles were collec
ted for the relief of the unfortunate family.
The fire, we understand, originated from the
stove pipe passing through the roof, without the
proper precaut0n to prevent the pipe from com,
ing in contact with the wood This is fearful
admoniion to greater care, in guarding against
such accidents, from like caGses.-Albia Blade.

VALUE OF THE SORGHUM CRop.-The Sigourney
Democrat Of the the 10th publishes table com.
piled from the Assessors books, showing the
amount of Sorghum molasses manufactured by
the farmers of keokuk county last season. The
total number of gallons was 81 1856. The amount,
adds the Democrat, rated at the prices formerly
paid for imported molasses-SO cents per gallon
makes the nice little sum of S5l 5sS, so. Say
the cost of the manufacture is Is cents per gal
Ion, which is high estimate, and deduct that
from the above, leaves a balance of profit to the
people of s45,Sl7,57
