 Terrible Fire raging south western part of the city! Hundred families burned out Five acres burned over! Awful to behold ]

 Peru CEty Pl0ao Works.-The Peru CHI. ) City Flow Works, (that means our former townsman, MT. T. D. Brewster,) are re- ceiving large orders for their superior blows from Brazil and Japan. These blows are probably the best in the world, and these far away countries are becoming aware of this fact. When MT. Brewster was Salisbury man, he was never known to do any thing on the half way plan, and although he is one of the most extensive blow makers in the world, and has an al- most endless variety of blow patterns, he has not among them one that will turn out blow on that plan.
 Horse Lnjured.-Last Tuesday afternoon as the freight train was coming into this vil- lage, it's whistle for the crossing started Mir. Hiram Bundy's horses, which had just been unhitched from the wagon and had wandered off into the highway, and one of them ran up on the railroad and was struck by the locomotive and pitched down the bank into the fence. Strange as it may seem, the animal got up and walked off some distance into the lot, and although a forward leg is pretty badly cut, and he is otherwise considerably bruised, it is hoped he is not injured internally, and if not it is thought he may be saved.
 DGkotG.-Forty years ago, James s. Eos ter, Esq, the Commissioner of Immigration for the Territory of Dakota, was an inhab- itant of this town. He was born in Lake vile. and some of our older inhabitants will remember his family. We were glad to receive call from him few days since, and before he left he filled us full of Dakota literature. He is one of the publishers of the Dakota Allocate, a copy of which he gave us. together with other journals, pam phlets, sheets, cards, &c.,, all of which was descriptive of that beautiful far-off country. We have read them some and expect to much more, if we have to sit up nights to do it. In another column is an advertise. ment which tells good deal about it, but we feel assured much more ought to be said to do full justice to the subject.
 Don't Know Nothiss' "::-Did yeu read what the managing editor of the Winsted Puzzle Paper, (the Herald said about us last week? He's meek little fellow, with face denoting about as much intelligencn as platter of mashed turnips, and because we asked him to get the evidence recorded at the inquest of young Finnegan and publish it, he got red hot mad, and after dancing around an hour and half, worked his pretty little mouth up into the shape of hole in cast iron letter box, and said 30 sweetly: "You don't know nothin'! You haint got no brains!" That this assertion is true, we would mt for a moment deny. We have never made the slightest pretense to the possession of brains, and when we started the publication ot THE NEws, we were told by everybody that we did n't need any brains to be suc- cessful rival to the Winsted Herald, as it was conceded fact that all the brains there was in the editorial department of that journal celebrated last Fourth of July under the hat of the Hon. Levi Shaw, who performs faithfully his labors of sweeping out, &c-. on salary of Jlfteen cents peek! Come over and see us sometime, Joe, and we'll give you the ''gosh durnedest" big gest WatermeeIion in all our ten acre pump kin patch; but when you come through Chapinvillf,, don't you lisp word about young Frlnegan being drunk when he was murdere d,lor the exasperated Chapinvillains will toast you over Landon 6 Co.'S hot blast furnace.
