ARGOS CORRESPONDENCE,
By BRIMsTONE.


ARGOS, IND, Jan. 10th, 1874.
Mr.. MILLIKAN.
On the evening of the 18th inst, the
house of Mr.. A. Starkey, two miles south
ofhere was burned, together with all it's
contents. The family were away from
home, and before the fire was discovered
the flames had spread to sucn an extent
that it was impossible to save anything.
No insurance.
The most lively fox hunt of the season,
came of last Tuesday, in Green township.
The lines closed in about one O'Clock
n, the circle forming in a large marsh,
and enclosing three foxes. Then com
menced the sport OF some half dozen lads
running them down and catching them
alive. After they had been suffered 10
rest for time, they were again turned
loose, and commissioner Krouse, throw
ing off coat, hat and boots, and rolling up
his .trowsers" gave chase a few times
around the circle, giving the assembly a
sample of his best speed, which, although
falling somewhat short of Dexter time,
was sufficiently laughter provoking to
excite mirth in an Egyptian mummy.
Another hunt to come off on the same
ground on the Sd of February.
We made visit one day last week, in
company with Mr.. Henry Krouse, to the
County Asy I'm. This institution, under
the superint ndence of Mr.. Stickman
seems to be well regulated concern.
The general appearance OF neatness per-
vading the establishment, speaks we'll for
those in charge. The paupers (sixteen in
number) are all comfortably clad and well
fed. The Superintendent and his help
are as sociable people as one could wish
to meet, and spare no pains to Hospitality
entertain their visitors. We made the
acquaintance of q few gentlemen about
Tyner, which we should be most happy
to renew at some future time.
The coolest weather of the season thus
tar, was last Thursday,-the mercury at
sunrise being three degrees below Zero.

occasionally infest our town; we will

A Desperate Character.

Bob Turner, of Po.osi, Grant County,
Wis, was arrested on the 9Th day of De-
cember last, for mudering his brother.
Since his arrest, the discovery has been
made that Turner had committed other
murders. He has made confession OF
some Of them. He gloats over the skill
with which he has concealed their bodies,
and declares nobody can find them but
himself. and if they could be got together
there would be more than forty of them.
He saya his mission on earth was to kill
OF the people, as there were altogether
too many crowding into the country.
The fellow is evidently insane. Too
much so to be permitted to live long.

Some newspapers make no Outside
show" and their inside contents keep up
their appearance.-Indiaaia
The above sharp retort from the India
MAN was provoked by our notice of its
new dress and improved appearance. We
have repented of our imprudence and
humbly beg pardon for the rash act.
Hereafter when we me ntion the India,si-
ans appearance, it shall be all favorable.
We have re-exallined the Iadiaaian-
head and all and take the pleasure in pro-
nouncing it beautiful. As King William
said CT Mark Twain's map of Germany
there is nothing like it.

The villain who stepped gently down
upon the innceent town, South Bend,
last fall, and who by reason of his mill
tary dress and military bearing. steps gen.
uy out into society, and in few short
weeks as gently leads one of her fair and
gentle daughters to the hymenial altar,
living with her few weeks, and then
like the Arab:
Quietly taking bic steed,
he silently stole away
IN South Bend he was known as Rev.
w. H. G. Pomeroy. He was next heard
of in Chicago, where he was arrested for
forgery, but escaped through some flaw
in the indictment. Here he passed by
the name ofShaw. lie next turned up
in 81. Paul as Captain Ives. Just as he
was about to marry st. Paul belle he
was exposed. and he quilted that city in
proper time for the maiden's and his own
welfare. His next stop was Lacrosse,
where himself and his credentials intro.
duced HIM as Capt. Charles Spooner.
Here he tried his ''ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain," counting the young
ladies and hourishing bank checks and
letters of credit innumerable that were
worthless of course. Settling upon one
marriagable young lady, preparations
were made for hasty and high toned "
wedding. A $1,000 house purchased but
not paid for; bills run up on milliner,
tailor, livery-man, hardware man, furni-
ture man and every other man. Finally
just before the wedding day, the Chief of
Police was seen talking to the gallant
Captain in an undertone, and he at once
commenced travelling for his health, not
even stopping 10 bid his intended adieu.
His last town was Warmers Landing.
The st. Paul Pioneer gives the following
account of his experience in that rural
village:
His last exploit is briefly told He cut
swell among the laboring men of that
place, and attempted some OF his custom
AIRY pranks evidently, but the boys down
there found him oIt. A confession was
what they wanted, and so rope was
placed around Spooner's neck and then
the Chaplain Captain was hauled off into
the woods, where the rope was nut over
the limb of u tall oak. Then the BOYS
began to pull and then he began to weak
en- in his defiance of the whole crowd,
with the assertion that he had pistol in
each pocket. Then they let him down
and he plead for mercy. Then they asked
him some conundrums, as follows:
Are you liar?"
"Yes!"
Are you thief"
"Yesi"
/ Arc you son of a gum"
"YEsi"
will you git if we let you down."
Helen Blazes, YESi"
Then they let him down and found a
skate in each pocket instead of a revolt
YER. They took the rope off and kicked
at his coat tail, out he was off like the
wind, and broke brush like an elephant.
He is probably running yet.
