The Squirrel Hunter heard from,

The Legislature, before its recess, had
abill before it for the purpose of altering
the time for the holding of the Circuit
Court of Crawford county, offered, we be-
lieve, by Mr.. DvELmss Of this county.
As itnow is it comes in conflict with the
United States Court for the Western Dis
srict of Arkansas, both being held at the
samo time. We were not aware that any
one was sofoolish as to oppose change
of time in this respect, and did not sup
pose there was so big mutton-hcad"
in Crawford, as would ask the United
States Court to conform to our require,
ments, when with so little Inconvenience
We could by change Of time Of the Cir
emit accommodate all interested in both
Courts. The County of Crawford have
conceded certain rights to the United
States, in which they have the use of a
certain part OF the Court House for their
exclusive purpese. JONI Il, c. TuRMAN

admit that we have as cloud thunder,

most any other part Of the world, and we
must also admit, that Crawford has about
as coneeited an ass for Representative in
Mr.. thurman, as we know Of. We copy
from the Republicans report his remarks
on this subject
Mr.. Truman said that the bill had been
put through its various stages, and pass

time lie had never received any petition
from his people in regard to the matter,
Crawford county was there, and the court
of Crawford WAS there before the United
States Court came, and ii is an impos-
ton on the part of the United States, to
come in contact with the Circuit Court of
Crawford county Great laughter We

10 o'clock, the room over Col. John w.
Wallace's Saloon, occupied as a Tailor's
Shop, was discovered on fire It was
lucky that the saloon had not been closed
for the night, as the fire WAS discovered
before it had got much under way, and
by prompt and energetic cxertions it was
put out If the fires progress had been
retarded until after close Of the saloon,
the whole building would have surely
burnt, rs well as all the others attached
Again, We have another warning to be
guarded about our fires and still We throw
our lighted matches and stumps of cigars
earelessly about. The Hma has an in
surance on the building, etc. Damage
