NOTWITHSTANDING the Office of
the WESTERN RURAL was entire
ly consumed by the great fire in
Chicago, and the publishers
home met the same fate, a new
office was soon fitted up, and the
paper issued with it's accustom-
ed regularity. The Rural has
completed a new volume since
that eventfll period in Chicago's
history, and has obliterated
every vestige of the calamity;
it's well filled pages ofuseful and
entertaining matter for the farm
and fire side giving no trace of
the fiery ordeal through which
it passed. Though mainly de-
voted to Agriculture and HOrti-

department for everything per-

also for choice literature. 1t is

all "rings" and combinations"
to fleece farmers out Of their

BALLOON AscENsIoN.-Thfs usu-
ally quiet town enjoyed a sensation
yesterday--the like Of which has
never been Witnessed by our citi-
zens. AS announced previously,
Prof. J. H. BoLEY, of Allensville,
the only balloonist Vinton county
has furnished, appeared here on
Monday and made the required ex-
cavations and arrangements in the
Court House yard, between the old
coal house and the street, and fixing
5 o'clock p. m. yesterday for leav-
ing for the regions above. At about
8 o'clock, p. m, the citizens began
to cOngregate, and at about 4:40
the word was given, the fastenings
cast of, and the monster balloon
ana the daring aeronaut rose very
quickly in the air. When about
100 feet high, he waived with a
handkerchief an adieu to the mul-
titude. The balloon shot rapidly
upward to about the distance of
one-third of a mile high, when a
strong current of air carried it in a
North-easterly direction but a short
distance, when it commenced de-
scending rapidly, and landed safely
in the north part of our lot on High
street, west Of the residence of ELI
REYNOLDS. He travelled over two
thirds of a mile on this trip. AS a
balloonist the Professor is a sue
cess, but when he makes the next
ascension, We hope the weather will
be much more favorable.

If any man under the present ad-
ministration is tempted to become
common petty thief, let him con-
slider whether it would not be bet
ter to exert his talents to obtain a
Government position and then steal
on a gigantic scale. In the latter
case he would almost certainly, II
detected and convicted, be pardoned
by Grant, while in the former he
would be beyond the reach of such
elemency, and might have to serve
out his full term of sentence. Look
at Hodge, General Runkle and 9th

STARTING IN THE WORLD
many an unwise parent labors
hard and lives sparingly all his
life forthe purpose of leaving
enough to give his children a
start in the world, as it's called.
Setting a man afloat with
money left by his relatives is
like tying bladders under the
arms of those who cannot swim;
ten chances to one he will lose
his bladders and go to the bot
tom. Teach him to swim.
and he will never need the blad-
ders. Give your child a sound
education, and you have done
enough for him. See to it that
his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and bis whole nature
subservient. to laws which gov
ern man, and you have given
that which will be of more val
ue than the wealth ofthe indies.

The British Isles were visi-
ted Sunday night by one of the
most violent storms ever expe-
rienced at this season of the
year. Snow fell to an extraor-
dinary depth in London and
the country. It was six inches
deep in the streets of the city.
In the provinces the snow fall
was much heavier; and in the
extreme north drifts are sever
al feet deep. The gale ragged
with great fury all around the
English and Irish coasts. Ma
ny wrecks have already been
reported, and there has been a
fearful loss Of life, especially off
the Torquay and around the the
Scilly Islands. The steamer
Clan Alpine went ashore du-

A Frightened Milk Drinker In
Search of A Chemist,
From the San Francisco Bulletin.

Yesterday morning the stom-
ach of a Seventh Ward gentle
man, who indulges a mania for
lacteal food, determined to rebel.
Shortly after devuring his GUS
tomary bowl of mush and milk
the gentleman detected certain
abnormal phenomena of an un-
pleasant nature in the epigas-
trio region, which he construed
into symptms of poisoning. In
great alarm he resorted to an
emetic, and subsequently to the
backyard. Then he bottled up
some of the suspected milk snd
rushed frant cally to a drug store,
where he had the stuff chemic-
ally tested. A scientific analiss
detected the presence of chalk,
but no traces Of mineral poison
were revealed. The druggist
relieved the fears of his custom
er with the information that the
COW that produced the unwhole-
some milk receives its charac-
ter from the kind Of food on
which the animals producing it
are fed. The frightened hombre
left the drug store in a decided
ly easier state Of mind than that
in which he entered it,

How ALL MAY PRElcH.-All
cannot preach from the pulpit
or deliver long and eloquent
orations; but there is a kind Of
preaching that is permitted to
all men, and oitentimes this
kind is most elfectual. Offices
of kindness to the bodies and
souls ofthose around us-words
Of encouragement to the weak,
of instruction to the ignorant, of
consolation to the troubled, of
brOtherly kindness to all, spo-
ken by the fIreside, wayside, or
bedside hearty devotion to
the services of religion in our
families and our closets, as
well as in the sanctuary-in a
word, all tokens of earnest,
active self-denyin love to our
fellow beings, springing from
our love to God, will form a
most impressive sermon, a most
convincing proof to the world
around us, that we have been
with Jesus. All Christians are
called on in this way to preach
the gospel. Woe to them il
they neglect the call, and bless
ed are they who fulfill this
ministry, and in their humble
sphere prove themselves to be
workers together with God.
