A preacher attempted to ford the river here
| q few days ago, and his horse becoming un-
Manageable, he missed the landing, and the
horse, in attempting to go up the bank, fell
back in to the river, and had to be helped out.
That IS what man gets for swapping OF s
trusty horse for a foolish one. Moral: When
yon have good horse keep him.
There are no new houses going up.
The business at the depot is increasing all

Our road master is having bridges built

want some of the proprietors Of this town to
live here and help improveit. We want mere
monied men. Give US all the above and then
Hartford will move. And then we want some
Evangelical church besides the one already or.

other on Fifth avenue near the residence OF

FIRE IN AMERIcUs.-About7 O'Clock last
evening the alarm Of fire was raised in our
streets, and after stepping out we encountered
dense volume OF smoke, strongly impregna-
ted with kerosene and pine vapor, which was
issuing from Sutton's drug store. A crowd
soon collected, and there being two good wells
near at hand, q line Of water buckets was i'm
mediately gotten in working order, and the
fire soon submerged. 1t appears that DR.. SUIT
ton had left the store q few minutes before,
and LEFT kerosene lamp burning upon the So
da fountain, near the back end Of the room.
This lamp evidently exploded, as a gentleman
who was at work near by heard the explosion.
The contents OF the lamp must have been
thrown all over the room, as all the goods,
walls, and erything in the room were black
ened and heated to such q degree that much
OF the glassware was broken. The fire had
obtained considerable Roadway on the wood
work before it was extinguishcd. The stock
is almost total loss, and the building conSid-
erably damaged. The stock was fully insured
in the Phenix, OF Brooklyn, and the building
in the Kansas State Fire. We cannot ascertain
the extent OF lke loss at present.
P.S. Between nine aid ten O'Clock the fire
again broke out in the drug store building,
and the whole roof appeared to DC on fire, but
the alarm was promptly responded to by a
large crowd, and the fire again put out in
double-quick time. This time the building
was handled more roughly Snd pretty we'll torn
