Fires in SOlOn.

We learn that great excitement ex-
lists among the people of Solon, ad-
joining Aurora, on account of numer-
Gus fires which are occurring in the
forests in that township. The Trustees
have issued notice cautioning sports
men against visiting their township
on hunting expeditions until heavy
rains have so wet the ground as to
prevent danger therefrom. A fierce
fire is saidto be raging near the large
pond in Aurora Township, endanger-
ing all property in that vicinity, and
a demand for. one hundred men to
fight fire was made on the citizens of
Solon on Sunday night. The warning
which is given by the Trustees in this
ins a1ce should be needed everywhel Q
until the dry season shall have passed ;
and the public authorities should take
the matter in hand to prevent the ter
rible consequences which may be the
result of carelessncss in these perilous
tfmes.

Gored to Death by a Bull.-A Horrible
fair.

Gored to Death by a Bull.-A Horrible
Affair.
]. On Sunday last, Mr.. Wallace Morrell,
residing in the southwest part of Deer
field, near Wright's Mills, met his
death in horrible manner. About
noon he left his house for a
walk over his farm, and in his way
passed through vacant field on his
premises, adjoining which he had run
ming at large vicious bull. Not re-
turning at two o'clock, the hour for
dinner, his wife became alarmed about
him, and sent their two boys to search
for him. They soon came across the
lifeless remains of their father literal
ly gored and torn to pieces by the in
furiated animal. His skull was pierre
ed in three places, his clothing strip
ped off, his limbs torn to shrcds and
his bowels torn open. He had evil
IDENTIFY been dead half an hour when
found, though the body was still
warm. After finishing his bloody
work, the bull apparently satiated,
had broken into corn field and was
quietly feeding there when found.
Measures were at once taken to kill
the dangerous brute, which were about
being put into execution when our
informant left.
Mr.. Morrell was a thrifty and pros
porous farmer, and man respected
and loved by all his neighbors and ac-
quaintanees, and who will be very
much missed by people of the vicinity
in which he lived.
