HOUSE BURNED.

ObA lAS~N"
HOUSE BURNED.
On last Thursday the dwelling Of
Eli Splitter. situated about half mile
west of this village, accidentally
caught fire and was burned to the
ground in so short time that scarce
" any of the contents were saved.
When the fire caught, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. were both absent from home, and
the first to discover the fire, were
Mr.. and Mrs. Snowman, who were
the nearest aeighbors, and who at
once went to the house and forced
in the door, but all attempts to enter
the house proved in3vain, as the
flames burst forth so furiously that
no one could enter the first room.
We have not ascertained the manner
in which the fire caught. Every ef-
fort was made by the neighbors and
people of our village to save the bull
ding and property, but all TO no pur
pose. Mr.. S. sustained quite loss,
as most all the furniture and wear
ling apparel of himself wife and child
were consumed in the flames. There
was no insurance on the property.
This is another evidence of the great
importance of every farmer holding
a policy on his dwelling.
MEETING CLOSED.

of five weeks. has at last closed

teen more members into the church,

This is q small, but pleasant town
situate nine miles northeast of Find.
lay, in the midst OF a rich farming
country on the L. E. & L. R. R., and
of some importance in CONNER.
cial point of view.
BUSINESS.
Messrs. Beeson e. Myers have done
an extensive business in the pork and
stock trade the present winter, il
which they have employed severa!
men and large amount of money.
F. Miller has done quite an ex
ensive poultry business. War
Ter Bros, proprietors of the fiourins
mill at this place, are doing {;
large business. There are two steam
saw mills here, which are engaged in
shipping large quantities of lumber
to different points on the railroads.
The dry goods firm of Wickerd &
Bender have done well in their line,
having sold large amount of goods
Of the best quality. A change in this
firm recently took place-Mr. Ben
der going out, and Messrs. Halsey
& Thompson coming in. The town
is we'll supplied with mechanics, hav-
ing three blacksmith shops, one wag
on shop, one boot and shoe shop. and
one cabinet shop.
The sick can also find friends
among US, as we have four gentlemen
of the medical profession in town.
One of them, DR.. j. Priest, recently
conceived the idea that it was not
good for him to be alone, and there
fore took to himself wife, who will,
no doubt, increase the interest of
the profession. Another, j. NJ. Teal,
(rumor says,) is about to "follow
suit" but of the truth of this, your
deponent saith not. 1t is proper to
say that these gentlemen represent
three different systems of medical
practice: Eclectic, botanic and allo-
pathic, so that "death" would GER
tainly be baffied il the decree was not
from higher power.
We have two respectable churches
which are well attended every Sab
bath, where the "Word of Life" is
faithfully dispensed by competent
ministers and appreciated by the
congregations.
Hotels, we have two. of which l
cannot speak from observation, but
I am told they deal out little of the
'critter."
The people are all industrious and
consequently we are minus" the
gentleman loater," which, by the
way, is no great loss. The ladies are
all "fair," and lady-like, some being
proficients in music and talk, but
"People will talk, you know,
People will talk,
oh. yes, they will talk. you know.
1t is now reported that the Tiffin
IL Ft. Wayne II. r., which has been
in statu quo for several years past, is
TO be revived and finished the entire
distance. If this should prove true
it will be OF great importance to this
town as it is one of points on that
road. ALI this being realized, it
might be that some day the good peo-
pie of Arcadia might take it in hand
to remove the county seat from Find
lay to this place, if they were not a
peaceable and quiet people.
] have deemed it proper to speak
thus OF our town and its inhabitants,
because it is right that your numer
Gus readers should know that there
is such town and such good people,
and feel interested in us, as they no
doubt will.

Arrested for Disturbing Church, Ser
vices. t}-5 ~ -
Two young men, Lewis Tanner and
DR.. Franklin Hot-named, we Judge,
after the lightning reducer-was ar
rested on Tuesday last, charged with
creating disturbance at the meeting
held Monday night at the United
Brethren Church. They were fined
$500 and costs eacIi, this being their
first offepse. .-... ....-g l'....
In this connection let US say that
there is reason that more of this ar
resting should be done, though not
with exactly the same class of indi-
.viduals. There is number OF young
reprobates-bloods they like to be
called-who attend the u. B. Church
with the sole and only purpose of
having "fan. y" They have 10 regard
for the laws of God or man, but seem
to think they were put here to ex-
tract "fun'' out of religious, exercises
and go to the U. B. Church to do it.
Let this be stopped. The better
class of people will uphold the church
in its efforts to preserve quiet at, its
meetings, and a determined stand on
their part will change the tone of the
actions of the fun loving fellows.
