Quite number of up river folks visited
our mill dam last week. They came down
ina body, bitterly complaining about the
water in their marshes, as if the dam was
at fault every time the Lord sees fit to
open the windows of heaven and send down
an unusual quantity Of water. Two or
three of the Leading spirits in the litigation
which has already taken place, have been
endeavoring to create bad feeling among
their neighbors in regard to our mill inter-
ests. And we were glad to have an Cd.
portunity, as we did last week, when the
up-river folks were here, to correct in
a measure, these wilfully false statements
We found that a number of the quiet and
peaceable Germans along the river had been
seriously misled and imposed upon by these
designing busy-bodles. They informed US
that they had been told that each one of
enelh was entitled to receive annually from
the owners of the dam five dollars damages
Tor each acre of his land, and with this i'm
preston they had come down to get their
money or have the shute opened. When
we read them the judgment of the Courts
fixing the damages in gross for all time to
come at sac cents. they began to realize the
extent to which they bad been duped by
these litigious fellows; and they went HON e
firmly convinced that they would take no
fu Their part in the matter.
The Camp Meeting on Sunday last, was

Last week Capt. E. D. Masters, Chairman
Of the Board of Supervisors of the town of
jefferson, with force of men, dismantled
what is known as the Damuth Bridge across
Rock river one mile above this village.
The bridge was badly injured by the ice
last winter and was condemned by the
Supervisors. We no tice that there is some
controversy going on in Jefferson about
rebuilding the bridge. The existence of a
bridge at that point is of great value to the
inhabitants in the south part of jefferson
and to Hebron and we hope that the question
of its rebuilding will not be affected by any
narrow illiberal counsels.
Some of the farmers are complaining ola

A HOSPITAL FOR BIRDS.
one of the CuriOsIIIas Of Invalid
Life iu New York.

OF all the hospitals in New York, that
at No. Greene street is the most unique
and interesting, being devoted exclu-
sively to the treatment of sick and
manned dogs and birds and other pets.
II is kept by Mr.. and Mrs. B. j. Dovey,
and although limited as to space, gives
accommodation to large numbers Of little
sufferers. Cages which line the sides OF
the room contain canaries with :he
pip" canaries afflicted with the asthma
aud behaving under the infection very
much like human invalids similarly sit
uated, cauaries with broken legs, and, in
fine, canaries with all the diseases known
to their race. Some of the little suffer
ers have broken wings or legs, which are
bandaged or splintered scientifically, and
they chirp mourniully when sudden
spasm OF pain overcomes them. Then
there are patient little dogs with bandaged
legs, and others with such diseases
as dog flesh is heir to. Near these is a
little monkey which looks as though he
was suffering from what in the human
brute would be termed melancholia. His
next door neighbor is q patient little
SpitZ dog, the property OF Mr.. Matthews,
the diamond broker, and in the next
three cages are litters of Spitz, Scotch,
and black and tan terrier pups. Every
thing is clean and neat, and the little
patients seem to want for nothing.
"It's our dull season" said Mrs. Do
vey." ave havn't many birds under
treatment now, but sometimes we have
the place full. Some time ago canary
was brought to us that had had one leg
eaten off by rat. Nobody thought it
would live, but after time we brought
it round, and it sings now as well as
ever The great difficulty was to teach
it to balance itself on one leg, instead of
two, but after awhile it learnt even that,
and now hops around as well as ever,
The only thing in which it differs from
other birds is that it is put to bed every
night on a napkiR laid in the bottom Of
the cage, instead Of roosting."
In addition to other pets, Mrs. Dewey
has twenty Maltese cats, Of all sizes and
ages, about which she tells marvellous
stories.

fire Last Night.

At two O'Clock last night fire was
discovered in the frame grocery store
belonging to Mr.. Dixon, on the corner
of Beal and Turley streets. In few
minutes the interior of the building was
ablaze, and it was with difficulty that
several parties who slept in the rear Of
the store escaped with their lives, The
Gremen soon arrived and turned on the
FIRE hydrant, which soon deluged the
building with water. The fire scorched
everything to a crisp within, but yet did
not destroy the roof or floors. 1t was the
act Of an incendiaIy, as the money
drawer, rifed Of its contents, was found
in an adjacent lot this morning. The
loss amounted to but q few hundred
dollars.

He is a larger, stronger, handsomer,

and can beat the time that he made with
the same training. He has worked less
than six months, aud goes below 2.20.
He now draws a driver that weighs near
one hundred aud eighty pounds. His
gait is the perfection Of trot and action.
There is no hop, skip and jump about it,
When he breaks, which is seldom, he

Reckless DrIvtng.

Yesterday afternoon squad Of gen
tlemen we're standing on the Nicoson
pavement on Monroe street, near the
corner of Main, when reckless negro
driver of baggage wagon drove into
the party, injuring Mr.. James Poston, OF
the house of Meacham q Co., severely.
He was knocked down and two wheels
of the vehicle passed over his left leg.
The driver went on rapidly, and re.
marked as he did so, "D-n yon, why
don't you get out of the way3" He es-
capped before Mr.. Poston could recover
from the effect Of the collision, SO reck-
lessly brought about by the negro driver.

man intentionally, without cursing him,
and we opine the negro ruffian will come
to that conclusion ere long.
