Sidewalk improvements.

Every city within onr knowledge
vests the power in its City Council to
have improvements made in sidewalks
in its corporate limits when they
deem them necessary or advantageous,
and also giving them the discretion
as to the cost thereof being wholly
borne by the contiguous property
holders Of the city, or the proportion
of cost to be borne by each, according
to the relative benefit to be derived by
each from such proposed improve
ment. AT the solicitation Of our City
Council, DR.. Brown introduced q
bill Of this kind, which passed the
House on Monday. Where the i'm
provemcnt is adjudged to be bencf-
cial to the property holder, ample
time is given to such individual, I'M
der the bill, to do the work himself,
after the lapse of which the city has
the work done, and assesses the cost
against the prOperty-owncr. We
don't see any serious objection to the
bill, snd presume a majority Of our
citizens are favorable to it. If not.
now is their time to say so, fov the
bill will undoubtedly go through
speedily, unless objection is heard.

A LIVELY st. Joe Trim.

Two of our genial citizens-JOhn
G.. and Pat R.-wcnt to St. Joseph,
one day last week in a sleigh. We
suppose they went on business. The
great weight of business upon their
minds rendered them absent-minded
or something else, and on their re-
turn, when about halt way to Savan-
nah, their sleigh was overturned and
themselves slipped out into the "beau-
tiful snow" They went to Mr.. Ter
hume in the vicinity, whom they pre-
vailed upon to bring them to town.
John had lost q ''fne five-dOllar hat"
10 he said, and had to borrow one
from Mr.. Terhune; but the hat has
been found, and the appraised val
uation," as determined by two free
holders, has been fixed q! one dollar
and fifteen cents! They were safely
landed in Savannah, however, but q
few minutes after their team, who
had Travelled home ahead Of them
alone. Moral: Don't transact SO
much "business" the next time you
90 to St. Joe.

The snow has furnished the farmers
with an opportunity to do a good

been slow in awaiting themselves of
its advantages. They have been i'm

The warm weather of the last few

A Poor Farmer Burned Out.

On Friday afternoon last, January
81, David Reddick, a man Of about
sixty years, suffered a e loss in
the total destruction of his house by
fire. Mr.. Reddick, living On the Nc
Knight land, east of the l92, in ROch-
ester township, was away from the
house at work when the house took
fire. We learn the old man is very
badly of, the fire burning everything
he had but a pig and a COW. Mr..
Charles NJ. DALEY generously UNDER
took the task of circulating a SUBJ
scription paper to collect funds for
the relief of the unfortunate party.
and his efforts were responded to in
a proper spirit by citizens of Savan-
nah and elsewhere. Any one dcsir-
ing to send aid should send to Mr..
Daley, who will see that it arrives at
the proper destination.

Almost q Serious Fire.

On Sunday night last, about mid
night, MI. Charles P. Smith, of the
firm Of Holloway & Smith, was
aroused from his slumbers on the
counter of their drug store by the
s~ufocating smell of smoke. It came
from q pile Of merchandise OIL which
a lamp had been placed, but which
Mr.. Smith had thought was extin-
guished early in the evening. DR..
Smith, who slept in his office n
the second floor Of the building, ar
rived on the scene about the same
time, when the flames were spreading
at a rapid rate, burning a barrel con
tanning syrup, a box containing lard
oil upon which the barrel rested) and
communicating to the handsome pre-
scription stand, nearly reached to the
ceiling. Charley Smith instantly
threw the bed clothing upon the
fumes, which stifed them, and a num-
Der Of persons appearing upon the
scene quickly quenched the remnants
of the flames with snow. The molas-
ses barrel was completely consumed,
with the bed clothing that was
thrown over the fire. This must be
regarded as q most miraculous escape,
as had the fire had bat q moments
greater Roadway the destruction Of
the entire building would have been
inevitable, and adjoining ones seri-
Ously injured. People should be very
careful that their coal oil lamps are
properly extinguished, or not turned
down too low, before retiring at
night. Holloway & Smith are insured
in the National, of Hannibal.

"A few days ago, MI. j. G. Cook
scy informs us a singular ice cxplo-
sion occurred in the Missouri River,
near Brownlee's saw mill. Attracted
BY 4 noise similar to that caused by
heavy artillery, he saw the river,
which ut that point is soiidly frozen

thrown up at least 100 feet in the air.
On Friday evening, the cath, two

for defense, got away the best way
