SPRING GREEN.

EDITOR CHRONICLE Last Wednesday
evening, about l l p. m, we were aroused
by the cry of "6re" in our usually quiet
village, and on fastening to the scene oil
its operations, found the dwelling house Of
Rev. j. 7. Temby in flames. In spite Of
all that could be done to save it, the house
was entirely DIES troyed, with considerable
clothing, bedding, and in fact everything in
the upper story.
The building; was only insured for $500
in the " Security" and the loss falls very
heavily upon poor but hard working
man. Origin of the fire unknown. He
was asleep in bed, and was aroused by the
whistlng of an approaching train, perform
ed with many variations to arouse the
town, which it did efectually, and in time
to enable Mr.. Temby to make good his es-
cape.
Yesterday, while eating dinner in great
hurry to get started to my afternoon ap-
pointment, - miles away, couple came
in and insisted upon being married, which
I had to do before they would be satisfied.
They forbid my sending notice to your pa
per for while, so send you one of an
other date. HJ.w

Card of Thanks.

Upon the departure of our esteemed
friend, the Rev. David Lewis, donation
meeting was held at the Welsh Calvanis-
tic Methodist Church in Dodgeville, JAN
I'd, 1871. for the purpose of donating the
sum subscribed by our Welsh friends and
others, to the worthy pastor of the said
church, whose services we'll deserved the
sum presented to him by his friends; but
he has departed from us to some place in
Minnesota, where he thinks that his tai
ents will be better appreciated.
The different denominations were gath
cred together, and tell you that the even
ing passed off gloriously TIE speaking
and the singing were splendid. I wish
that [ could but. give you specimen Of
some Of them, but as they were in Welsh,
it will take up too much of your paper.
The officers of the meeting were, Presi-
dent, Rev. w. Owens; Treasurer, j. w.
Williams; Solicitors for subscriptions,
John Ellis and R. G. Owens, and they
done we'll.
The purse when presented by the
Treasurer to the recipient, contained $3.50
in Green Backs, which sum Mr.. Lewis
received with thanks and humility.
Many thanks to the friends of the wor-
thy pastor. G. W. LEWIS,
For the Committee.

O. r. Smith was elected Chief Clerk of

The Governor delivered his message to
the Legislature yesterday.
1t will become necessary, in view Of the
late change in our State Constitution, for
the legislature to make some provision for
the arraignment of criminals otherwise
than by indictment by grand jury, as
that system was abolished by vote of the
people of the State, last fall, as follows:
For Grand Jury, 1906 against 49,
