TRAMPs.- The country is swarm
ing with class of vagabonds
known as 'tramps' who, during the
summer season, strike out through
the country, and manage to steal
aud beg enough for subsistence
They generally make it a point to
reach q farm house just about
dusk, that hour being better suited
to work ON the sympathies Of the
inmates. When they secure q
nights lodging, they affect CRATE
fulness and all that sort of thing,
but unless they are closely watch
ed they light out early in the
morning and carry away such ar
ticles as they can turn into capital.
True charity is commendable, but
help extended to rowing charac-
tiers like the above, is merely en-
couraging vagrancy, and making
dead beats Of men who would
otherwise probably strive to make
an honest living,

ODD FELLOWS RE UNION
re union Of Odd Fellows, Tuesday
evening, was one of the most
pleasant affairs that we have ever
had the pleasure of attending. The
large hall was crowded with Odd
Fellows and ladies, many Of them
visitors from neighboring towns.
A. A. Curme, President of the Odd
Fellows Provident Association.
presided. AT 8 o'clock he called
tue meeting to order, when the fol-
lowing exercises took place: Sing
ing the opening ode; PRAYER by
Rev. Mr.. Comstock; Addresses by
p. G. Representative Ransom, of
KY, and Grand Secretary Barry,
of Indianapolis. Both the adj
dresses related to the rise, pro-
gress and principles of Odd Eel
lowship, and the practical work
ings of the Order. The nature of
the Odd Fellows Provident Assoc
citation was explained; and its ad-
vantages set forth in a true light.
After the addresses, supper was
announced, and at least five hun
dred persons partook of the excel-
lent repast provided by the Daugh.
tiers of Rebekah. After all had
been served, large quantity of
provisions remained, which was
distributed to needy families and
the Orphans Home.
After supper, Mr.. Ransom again
made short speech, urging the
importance of sustaining the Prov.
ident Association. At the "witch-
ing hour the Closing Ode was
sung, and the audience dispersed,
well pleased with the evenings en-
tertainment.

At midnight's witching hour.
Saturday the 28th ult., the alarm of
| fire was sounded from the North
western portion Of our city, and in
few moments the heavens were
lighted up with a sheet of lurid
flame which was at once porten
tious and brilliant. Crowds OF
hurrying feet sped in the direction
Of the flame, and in an incredible
short space Of time thousands Of
our citizens were gathered on the
banks of Whitewater, witnessing
the destructive conflagration Of the
Railway Bridge.
This Bridge, which was over
600 feet in length and some 70 feet
in heighth, spanned the chasm Of
Whitewater, and was an imposing
structure of some II years stand
ing. It's original cost was some
$4,000 and it had nearly outlived
its usefulness.
The fire first showed itself near
the centre and spread with the ra-
pidity Of lightning to each end,
and no pyrotechnic display of
modern times could equal it in
grandeur and picturesque beauty.
Only imagine six hundred feet of
frame work, with perpendicular
framing Of thirty feet or more, all
on fire at once; the cross-framing
showing an interlaced net work Of
fame with lurid brilliancy and in
candescent lines, which showed out
against the dark back grounds Of
the murky night with almost I'M
earthly brilliancy. Each cross
piece brace and sub sill, as the
flames wrapped them in their
warm embrace, shone out as bril-
liantly as roman candle, present
ing a lattice work Of flame on a
scale Of magnifcence rarely equal
ed. This was, however, too bril-
liant to last long, and while the
gaze Of thousands was rivited ups
on the unwonted scene, the eastern
end gave way, and was at once fol-
lowed by the whole structure,
which, enveloped in sheet Of
flame, tumbled headlong, seething,
Kissing and cracking into the river
below. Thus, in a few short min
utes, the line of connection of one
Of the principal Railways of the
West was ruptured, and yawning
chasm only was left to show the
spot where thousands of tons
freight, and hundreds of passen-
gers passed daily-safely and
smoothly. We learn that there
was an insurance Of something over
$23O 900, which will be some relief.

SwOPE, at the northeast corner of Main
and Marion streets, is selling more ready
made clothing, and is doing more custom
work than at any previous time. The reason
Is plain: he keeps full stock of ready made
clothing, of quality that he can warrant,
which he sells at the lowest rates, while his
stock of piece goods cannot be surpassed
He is also fortunate in having a cutter, John
II. Scott, who never fails 10 give 'fit,' and
full corps Of skillfnl and experienced work
men. With the energy manifested by Mr.
Swope, we do not wonder that his place OF
business is always crowded with customers

Cows.

AN unlimited Cow who calls
upon you after bedtime, and opens

finding no one to receive her, pro-
ceeds to demolish your roses, ever
greens, flower beds, your carefully
trimmed borders, your kali and
potatoes is, on the whole as I'm.
welcome a visitor as ever mortal
man was cursed with. We have no
hogs at large, then Why Cows ?
We'd sooner risk an old Sou than
an old Co,o, and rather feel inclin-
ed to reject either, as nocturnal
visitors. The Good Honest Or
thodox Cow referred to in the
last Telegram, must, we think, be-
long to the herd of Sacred Cattle
exhibited by Barnum. The editor
of that paper may count the
cream and we will show him sing
lie instances in which the worth of
his model COW has been destroyed

rauding, insatiate old female boz
vine, whose milk would make
thieves Of children who drank it.

more popular than ever.

GAS SrovEs.-Now is the time
to purchase Gas Stove, which is
warranted to cook a meal for a
family at the expense of only one

over all others is, that you have

tend with. "O1d Soils" rays is
sweltering sufficient without ad-
ding thereto any considerable
quantity of artificial heat, and this
gas arrangement is just the thing
it is quick heat, and quickly

wfes and others who are troubled with them
may probably use the following trap to adj
vantage: Procure large sponge, wash it
we'll and press it dry which will leave the
cells quite open; then sprinkle over it some
fine white sugar, and place it here the ants
are troublesome. They will soon collect up
on the sponge and take up their abode in the
cells. 1t is only necessary to dip the sponge
in scalding hot water, which will wash them
out dead. Put no more sugar and set the
trap for q new haul. The process will soon
clear the house of every ant.
