disastrous fires have occurred. All danger
may, however, be obvisted at such times
| by throwing handful of salt upon the
fire and closing the stove as tight as posi-

present had bushels of fun. Owing to the
strong wind which sprung up after leav-

Mound City, where the boat remained
until two o'clock in the morning, and the
intervening hours were whled pleasantly
away with music and dancing.
The trumped up charge against Jane:

pear not as an alleged criminal, but II
plaintiff, and his traducers us defendants.
