FLUEs.-It is believed that large proper
ton of the fires that are devastating the country
are due to defective fues Ia extremely cold
weather hot fires are built, and defective hues,,
with timber in close proximity, furnish the food
for great conAagration. The construction OF
fues and chimneys should never be the work o.
inexperienced wprkmen and apprentices.

the compliment the Earl calls the practice OF

have returned, and report nothing OF i'm
portance accomplished by the interview +;
that tho conference had with the New
York bond holders was even more unsat-

stated they considered they had a good
thing on Iowa County, and they expected
to collect the whole debt, dollar for dollar,
with the exception Of perhaps 10 per cent.
which they thought might cost theaa in
collecting. Mr.. Beecher has, however,
entered into stipulation between him
self and the county, to the effect that in
no case whatever the rev bonds issued
will ever become az additional lien on the
county. Mr.. geccher sighed the stipula-
ton, but ahe committee refused to sign it
until they had submitted the same to the
people for tksir consideration. The next
move will be ITO call the board together at
an early day, to consider what future
couree had better be taken.

Grange Notes.

What is the grange? is n question
we hear asked every day. 1t is an or
ganization of farmers, established for
elevating to a higher social, political,
and intellectual standard, the farmers
throughout the country. 1t establish
es in the community a lecture room,
where members meet, and by associa-
ton, discussion and experiment, bright
en- their faculties and elevate their
profession. They are brought into tie
closest contact, one with another, and
mind with @ind, uniting them together
by the strongest human tie-a common
interest, thus enabling them to gather
and disseminate knowledge, and sue
cessfully resist the encroachment #
rings and combinations-in short, form
ing one common brotherhood. If the
oranges steer clear of politicians, ! y
the operations Of the institution, the
members will be enabled to obtain Il g
highest prices, dispense with the SER
vices VT commission, or middle men,
buy the necessities of life where tl.ty
can be had cheapest, procure legisla-
ton that shall protect them against
every combination against their inter-
ests, ard thus make them independent.
These are briefly the objects Of the in
stituticn, and with the Roadway it is
now making we predict the most glor-

The following in regard to the sud
den death of of Mr.. James Olds, we
copy from the Northeastern Mining
Journal. MIR. Odds was formerly a
citizen of this village, where he fol-
lowed mining for several years. but for
the past number of years he has re-
sided at Hancock, Michigan, at which
place he has been largely interested in
the lumber trade, owning two saw mill:
and the tug on which he lost his life !:
The Journal :ays, Mr.. Odds, accom-
panied by Thomas Ingram, Hermann
Koehler and John Marone, left the
saw mill of Moralee & OlSs, about
half past nine o'clock, Friday m OF ming
for the purpose of running down to
Torch Lake and getting raft Of logs
which was lying at the mouth Of Trap
Rock River. 1t being rather rough
weather for towing, they resolved en-
their arrival at Torch Lake to remain
there all might, and start with the raft
next morning. Bat the wind having
gone down, Mr.. Olds determined to
make the run to Hancock that night,
and got tho raft started at about 7
o clock, p. m. When within about a
mile of the cut which connects Torch
Lake with the east arm of Portage
Lake, Mr.. Odds asked Ingram it be
thought he could take the red light
and find the entrance to the cut, it
being SO dark it could not be distin-
guished at all from where the tug lay.
Ingram and Marone left the tug in a
macinaw, and after rowing about ten
minutes, found the entrance, where
they remained with their light until
Mr.. Odds had steered into the cut,
when both of them went back to the
furthermost end Of the raft, and held
their lamp aloft, SO that Mr.. Olds
could see from the pilot house of the
tug how the raft was steering. All
went well until the tug had passed en-
tirely through the cnt. and the raft
was within fifteen feet of the south en-
trance, when Mr.. Odds called to Ing
ram and Marone, and told them to
come on board. They tn started
with the small boat, and had got with
in thirty feet of the tug, when the ex-
plosion took place, SCATTERING the boat
into atoms, and instantly killing Mr..
Odds. When the body was found, the
hands were clenched, and the arms in
the same position they were when death
called the unfortunate man 10 account.
The remains were brought to Hancock
on Saturday afternoon, and we're con-
veyed to the residence Of the afflicted
family, where they lay until o'clock
Monday afternoon, when they were es-
cor,ed to the grave by the members of
Quincy, Houghton, and Calumet lodg-
es of Free and Accepted Masons, Pro-
lection Fire Company of Hancock and
Continental Fire Company of Hough-
ton, and large concourse cf citizens
from both sides of the lake.

Those Democratic politicians who
are now ondeavoring to lead the ''farm-
or movement" claim that both the old
parties ought to be broken up on ac-
count of their corruptions. It would
seem as if the Democrats acknowledge
the justice of this charge, for they are
breaking up, and going over in body
to the new movement. The question
now is, what became of the ccrruptions?
Parties are not corrupt. The corrup-
ticDs arise through the men who com
pose the parties. Our farmer friends
would do we'll to- ask their new allies if
they intend, in joining the new move
ment, to continue their old practices.
In throwing off their old name, and
taking On new one, the Democracy
act much as some steamship owners
do when their crafts become old ard
rotten. they change their name, and
send them out in all the blazonry of
new paint and new''rig. But they are
the same old rotten hulks. We caution
the farmers in respect to these rotten
Democratic hulks.
