A Sensation.

DR.. Brown, our efficient Representa-
tive, has succeeded in raising an excite
ment, the purport of which is contained
in Jefferson City dispatch to the st.
Louis Democrat one day last week:
DIR. Brown, the Representative from
Andrew county, returned last night,
from visit to his home, some twenty
mics above st. Joseph, and brings with
him news of an extraordinary circum-
stance now agitating the minds of the
people of his section. A Rocky Noun
tain lion is now roaming and rampaging
the county, and, while the women and
children are shaking in their shoes. the
men are greatly excited. The former
keep within doors, the children being
restrained from attending school. Squads
of men are hunting the brute, whose
tracks have repeatedly been seen. Thus
tar his operations have been leveled

Since my last communication, several
changes have taken place in our little

ings on the south side of the Square, and
have had carpenters at work fitting up
the store-room on the corner, formerly

chandisc.
Messrs. Craig Bros. arrived from
Kentucky this. week, and are intending
to open out farm about two and hall

mechanics to build Il dwelling house and
other necessary buildings.

and both very well attended, and great
interest is taken in both of them. The
prayer meetings are held every Tuesday
evening.
Rev. Isaac Chivington commences
another protracted meeting here this

Fillmore Items.

News in Fillmore has been of rather 4
meagcr character for some time past !;
nothing having transpired to disturb the
peace of our gnict little village until
within the last few days.
We were sadly shocked. on last Mon
day, by the sad news that Mr.. Sam
Warner mad taken opium, from the Ell
iects OF which he died late in the even

O'Clock in the morning. Medical aid
was ctilcd ut once, but AL eff,rtS proved

rash act. Thus. in very brief space
of time, the community has been de-
privcd Of II good, useful and enterprising
citizen, and the family, ni IN indul%ent
father and kind husband. Our tears
and sympathics mingle with those Of
the bcreaved and distressed family.
We also have to announce the death
of an old and much esteemed citizen,
Mr.. Tablcr, who died on the same day,
and but few hours previous to the
death oi Mr.. Warner. His death was
caused by congestivc chills. lie leaves
Il large circle of friends aud relations to
mourn his loss. With these exceptions,
health appears to be good in this vicin-
ity.
Improvements on our streets and side
walks are progressing finely, consider
ing the bad condition of the ground and
weather.
Our dressmake,s appear to be busily
engaged in making wedding garments
recently. We noticed the Hon. Judge
Heren Juggling one off, few days ago,
apparently well pleased.
We are sorry 10 say that our excel
lent townsman and butcher, James
Spence, thinks of leaving the city and is
offering his property at very low figures.
There is Il good opening here for a
butcher.

At recent meeting of the City Council. Col
Febigsr, In reference to the subject Of Registry
Bureau, moved that an Ordinance be prepa red

April. The first Of April is close at hand, ana
therefore we deem 1t prudent to advise our rea
dsrs of the workings of the Registry Bureau.

lishment has already been published in these COL
umns.
In the irst place, the act requires arrangement.
to be made in the Office Of the City SUI veyor and
the necessary books to be procured for keeping
the plans of all the properties Of the city, togeth
.r with the names of the owners of the same
The Iaaln sobject Of the act Ia to facilitate the
work Of the Assessors, who will have access 10
these books at all times, aud will be greatly aided
thereby.
Section three Of the act provides that all sell
lers, and buyers OF ground 10 Wilmington shall
report 10 the Chief Engineer every conveyance
made, with the precise locality and dimensions of
the premises, the same to be recorded without
charge. In the event Of the fsilure of such per
sons to do so, the Recorder of Deeds shall not
admit such deeds into his Office for record, until
the fee Of twenty five cents II paid after which
| that officer shal: furnish the surveyors Office
with the necessary description, under penalty
| Of one dollar
Section declares that If the above provisions
| dio not COtupueu WIN IN bcllcf ana Duyer may

the right OF rccaiming the same.
Section imposes fine OF five dollars on all
persons who shall neglect six months after the
property. to have the same recorded as provided
| for by the act.
Section requires the Chief Engineer to issue
certified duplicate descriptions of property, when
the same are applied tor.
Section ! requires all owners of houses and lots
to furnish forthwith Cater the act shall be put in
operation by the passage of the Ordinance) de-
scriptons OF their property TO the Chief Engin.
Ger and City Surveyor, to aid him in making up
the necessary books and ii after one year from

the city, the owners shall fail to have such record
made, they shall bo subjected to fine Of five
dollars, and in case the Same Is neglected for sir
months, lien for the accumulated fines and
costs shall be filled and collected by Law to be PAID
into the City Treasury
The provisions Of the act, it will thus be seer
affect every property owner in the city, and thu!
timely notice will not be out OF place. Peopl,
will now have time by the first of April, to hav,
descriptions Of their property in the Surveyo,i
office, and thus greatly facitute the introduction
| Of the new system. The Ordinance putting th,
act in force will probably be introduced In Coun
Gil at the meeting next Thursday evening" anc
