A Gard From Rev. VIZ. Willis.

Et1it0r RutlaRd Herald Il fear that
some Of my remarks at the temperance
meeting on Monday evening have been
construed into unftvorable criticism Of
the record OF our village Trustees on the
temperance question, but | intended no
such criticism, for they, as a Board, have
done all that any other number of men
would have done under like circumstan-
ces. l have ever believed, and believe
now, that their action has been fully up
to, if not in advance of, the public senti-
ment of their constituents.
AS freeman and a friend of temper
anoe, am in favor of the reelection of
the present Board of Trustees, and then
of strengthening them in the discharge
of their official duties By 81 healthy public
feeling in favor of the enforcement of the
prohibitory law.

FIRE IN MIDDLETOwN.-We learn
that on Monday afternoon the dwelling
house of DR.. Sylvanus Haynes of Middle
town was somewhat damaged by fire.
When discovered. the fire was under con-
siderable Roadway, but the supply of water
being ample, and the neighbors prompt in
rendering assistance, it was confined to
the roof and soon extinguished, that part
of the building, only, being destroyed
The origin of the fire is not certainly
known, but as one of the ohimneys was
burned out during the forenoon, it is prob
able that it was caused by spark there

in Indian War Predicted.

An An01an War Predicted.
New York, April 20.
The Worlds special says that there is
now an imminent, almost certain prospect
of an Indian war; The advices received
yesterday and autographed last night are
supplemented by still more startling
news, official and unofficial, received to-
day at the headquarters of the army.
Within month at least 10000 Sioux are
expected to be on the war path. These,
with their allies of the Cheyennes and
other northern tribes, will make a formi-
dable force.
The Indians say that having been neg
lected the past Winter, they intend to
avenge themselves this Summer In view
of the threatened conflict, and also in or
der to keep sharp watch, on the Red
River difficulties of our neighbors across
the border, Gen. Sheridan had decided
several days ago to establish his head
quarters on the first of May at Pembia, in
the northern part of Minnesota. The
seventeenth and fourteenth regiments of
infantry have been ordered to Sioux City,
Ia, to 60 with all dispatch. The former
regiment has been stationed in Virginia,
and the latterin Kentucky and Tennessee.
The shifting of these regiments from
points so remote to the very heart of the
Indian country is sufficiently ominous, to-
gether with the movement already chron-
icled of five companies of the Seventh
Cavalry to Fort Hayes, for active service
under Gen. Custer. 1t seems not at all
unlikely, judging from the tenor of cur
rent dispatches from the far West, that
the Administration soon will have forced
upon it, in advance of the special legisla-
ton by Congress, the responsibility and
expense of one of the most serious con-
flicts yet initiated with the savages of the
plains.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The Times special says Gen. Sherman
yesterday ordered the Fifteenth and
Seventeenth regiments of infantry to
Sioux City. Also the recruiting officer in
New York was ordered to send one hun.
dred and fifty men to Fort Leavenworth
These orders are regarded as preparations
for an Indian Summer campaign. Gen.
Sherman and several of his staff will
leave here next week on an inspecting
tour through Montana and other far
] Western Territories.

mistaken. Russell became very angry, and,
striking the doorksCper, nearly Knocked him

cned to blow the doorkeeper's brains out.
The latter said he meant no offence.
Russell, still threatening, cooked his

preached Russell, and remarked to him
that it was no place to get into difficulties:
Russell responded, Twill kill you, too"
