From Ireland.

Mr.. EDIToE AS all OF Your cores
pondcnts from this place have quit.
will endeavor 10 furnish your columns
with few items.
Since the impeachment of our Gov
ernor, things have gone on more evil
than ever before. The citizens are NOT
as industrious. nor rs quiet as they were
under the reign of Watson.
On last Sunday the citizens were arou-
sed by a quarrel between ex-merchant
Boyles and stranger. over superior
dog. Their words were like distant
thunder. and knives in hand, glittering
like stars of creation. So great was the
foaming element of battle, that the citi-
zens fiocked together to see the mighty
struggle between the armed men. But
their courage failed and their cowardice
having shown itself. no one was hurt.
The Temperance Lo dye Of this place
seems to have been hiding its light un-
der bushcl, until quite recently. On
last Monday night, one Mr.. Martin, a
gasspipe, stopping in our village, deliver
ed lecture upon the scbject Of Temper
ance. With coat sleeves above his ell
bows, he appeared upon the stage.
swinging his limbs in every direction
like IN enraged lion. lie delivered the
most powerful lecture ever heard in
the-.- ends of the earth or ever recorded
in Sacred or Profanc History. O. for
power to describe the out-burst Of elo-
guence. Cough and the author Of Ten
Nights in Barroom" or all other lectures
that the sun in his daily rounds ever
shone upon, falls far beneath the tidal
flow of his eloquence.
Roll roll We pillows roll!
My feeble pen fails to exrol
The talent of this gifted man.
Who seems TO stand with heart i'm hand,
And points out TO the Ireland youth
The beautiful path Of love and truth.
His voice was like the thunder
That peals along the blast,
But lac that beats him drinking wliskcy
Must drink dcvilish fast.
He delineatcd the virtues. the vices
and the errors Of man, from the creation
down to the present time. He then ap-
pealed TO the parents Of our country,
and pointed out to them the path in
which they should lead their children.
At this critical moment some one made
a rush for the door, shouting "Illustrious
patriots, loafcrs and bummers, sold
again." and the crowd vamoscd.

rrcu1.-Last Monday seemed 10 u,

FIGuTs.-Last Monday seemed to be
a day for fights in this locality. Mr..
Phillip GuckcS one Of our Justices oi
the Peace. whose duty il is to preserve
the Peace. instead Of violating il. pitched
into Charles kraus. hotel keeper and
street broker. and bruised him up rather
severely. The difficulty originated. rs
we are informed in Kraus talking about
other peoples business affairs.
In the evening of the day the two
young sons of Kraus were on the hunt
of Guckes for revenge. but he kept
out Of their way. until at night nc
espied young Charlie on the street. by
himself, when he took after him with a
drawn revolver. Charlie skedaddled
and the J. +. failed to pull trigger.
Mr.. Michael Gardner and Mr.. Brett
|weiser each had little too much tangle-
foot aboard, and got into tussel. No
serious damage done.
DR.. L. Weinert and Rev. Mr.. Schiller
ling, the preacher who created SO much
difficulty in 4 Lutheran congregation in
Columbia Township, some time ago, got
merry and then mad. over their Wine, at
Clrich's garden. and the DIR. thrashed
the preacher. In the meelec Clrich and
"a man named Buchta, got somewhat
mixed up, but not hurt any. The Rev.
sinner was brought up before Esq, En-
thofen, for provoke, and fined 81.
Charles Sanders and his brother Sam.
got into fight with Cole Burton. in
which Cole came out second best, two
being too many for him.

PROBABLY FATAL AccIDExr.-On last
Wednesday evening, just at dusk, as Mr..
Fred. Horn was driving his team on
Mcdonald street, near the residence of
Mr.. X. Beck, his horses being in a brisk
trot, as the wagon struck the street cros-
sing, which is there two inches higher
than the street, he was jolted out, and
fell on his head,t the empty wagon passing
over him. He was carried into the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Geier, and DR.. Welman
Immediately called, when it was found
that his spinal column had been fractur-
ed by the fall. His lower limbs are en-
tirely paraIyzed, and his injuries will
probably prove fatal. He was . hard
working teamster, and with his family,
should have the active and practical
sympAthies of community.
This accident suggests whether il
would not be better for the Corporation
Trustees to have these crossings all sunk
little in the ground, and saw dust,
broken rock or dirt thrown up along
side Of them, 20 that there will be less
danger TO vehicles, before serious bill
Of damages may be run up against the
town.

BROKE AGAIS.--There is painful
rumor that the domestic infelicity Of the
family of the clique candidate for Sem
ator-and which it was hoped had been
amicably and permanently fixed up, by
the retiring Of the "cousin" to more
congenial locality-has broke out afresh,
and that the happy family" arc again
separated. We cannot vouch for the
truth of it, and only give it as we have
heard it-as a rumor.
Some of the clique scalawags we un-
derstand, deny the truth Of the whole
occurrence as published. We wish it was
not true, but, alas! for human nature,
and the propensitics of mankind, it is
only too true, and the only consolation is
the fact that he is not the first great man
who has Sawed" in. VIDE Morton.

During the thunder storm Of last Sun
day evening, when the rain was pouring
down, Mr.. John q. +. Hoffman. was
standing ON the porch Of his residence,
on the lisysvilc road. about six miles
from Jasper, when his barn about for
~ feet from the house was struck by
lightning. and set on lire. lie WAS pros
tratcd by the stroke, and unable ~ do
any thing for several moments. The
barn, which had q large amount of hay
in it. and several hundred bushels each
Of wheat. oats and corn, was totally con-
sumed. together with road wagon,
thrcshing machine. mower. and other
farming implements. His buggy WAS
drawn ont 10 the road. and left. and
during the excitement, before il was no.
iiccd again, II was all afirc, and was also
consumed.
The fire communicated from the barn
to the residence in an Incredibly short
time. and il also. with most of his house
hold effects was burned. His pork house,
nearly joining his residence. and in
which were stored several thousand
pounds of pork, was saved by the stren-
uous exertions OF the few who had gath
cred in the meantime. His losses are
estimated at from 1880 TO $4,000. lie
has the sympathy of the community in
his calamity.
