FIRE..
A DWELLING HOUSE BURNED

About two o'clock Tuesday morning a
fire broke out in the large double dwelling
house belonging to Mr.. James Kennedy,
west of the Normal School. It had un-
doubtedly been burning for some time, for
within twenty-five minutes after Mr.. K.
was awakened the building fell in. About
two-thirds of the household goods were
saved. There is considerable mystery and
uncertainty as to the origin of the fire. Mr..
Kennedy says he believes it to have caught
in some way in a room occupied by two
girls who were temporarily absent at the
time. The engine was on hand as soon as
it could get so far, but the fire had made
too great Roadway to be checked. Insured
in the Continental; $500 on the building
and 5000 on the furniture.
This house was partially built by Mrs.
Jane G. Swisshelm, who occupied it for
several years, and in one part was The
JOURNAL Office during the time of the
war of the rebellion. 1t is somewhat
strange that Mrs. swisshelm, after, FIVE
weeks ago, watching her home in Pennsyl-
vania as it was devoured by the flames of
an accidental fire, should arrive in St.
Cloud just in time to watch another build
ing, which had been her home, consumedby
another accidental fire.

GRASsHOpPERs.

The reports which come from many
of the States scourged by these pests
last year are very discouraging. In
Kansas strip Of country a hundred
miles wide is being devastated, and
stock is starving already.
In Nebrasx a, in view of the grass
hopper pestilence, to be followed by
a failure of crops, great distress and
possible famine, which nothing but
the interposition of Providence can
prevent, the Governor has appointed
June Sd as a day of humiliation,
fasting and prayer.
Missouri appears to be overrun
with them, and they have left the
wheatfelds bare, stripped the fruit
trees of leaves, buds and blossoms,
and swept even the grass from the
pastures. Cattle are dying, and the
farmers are panic.stricken.
The indications are that the ar
mics Of the destroyer are moving
toward Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana
and Ohio, seeking new fields to con-
quer.
The Hartford (Ky.) Herald says
that lately a gentleman Of that place
discovered that his yard was covered
with apparently frozen graashoppers'
He selected one of the number for
experiment, and on carrying it into
Ills Ills house and placing it before tire
it quickly recovered full life and &C
tivity.
From the different parts of Mime
sofa the reports are, grain coming up
nicely and no grasshoppers. But
what more warm weather may do in
bringing forth the latter remains to
be seen.

facilitate its construction. Mr.. Chad
burne, I believe, did all he could to
further the interests of his constit-
uents in railroad matters at both ends
of his district and that both the Del
ano bill and the Gilman Superior and
Southwestern bill failed was no par
ticular fault Of his. He expressed
throughout the session a desire that
anything should be done which
would indicate an early completion
of the line.
Senator Benedict, of Sank Rapids,
always expressed his opinion that
change should be made, and a new
company have a chance to try it, and
that this was the time to make the
change. Mr.. Benedict had no oppor-
tunity to act officially on the Delano
bills, as they did not reach the Sen
ate; but it is fair to believe that,
had they done so, he would have
used every effort to pass them in that
body, and not have acted contrary to
his expressed opinions of the past
year to his own constituents and to
others.
The session ended and nothing
was passed but the bill introduced by
Senator Knute Nelson, of Alexandria,
a bill which was and is supposed to
be an act to aid and facilitate the
construction of these Extension Lines,
but which should have been amend
ed in its title so as to read: Gan act
to grant further time for proceedings
in bankruptcy for the support of law
yers, and to prolong the agony of
settlers and persons who made invest
ments founded on the construction Of
a railroad through certain counties
in 1871 and 1872"
The Extension Lines are lying dead
worth less than they were in July,
1872, when the money stopped COM
ing, by the value of the ties and
bridge timber which the expiration of
this season will render worthless, and
by the diversion Of a large portion of
the iron in New York.
The Extension Lines are lying dead
and the peaple who, three years
ago, were in high hopes that the ad-
vantages which these completed lines
would give them, in their agricultu
raj and manufacturing pursuits would
induce thousands of people and thou :
sands of dollars to join them in those
pursuits, have had those hopes dashed
to the ground, and they see no sign,
hear no sound but the ominous words
Come into court; come into court :;
that ye may be heard !"
You people Of the Sank Valley
and of the upper Mississippi who
have, in times gone by, seen the bene-
fits of a frontier demand for all your
products, can listen to that sound, but
there is no money in it for you. There
is money only for lawyers and specu-
lators in human misery.
Can the lines be finished? IF So
when, and by whom?

In the Dominion of Canada, Postofice
n oney orders for sums not exceeding 81
are issued, the charge being only two cents.
They are found very convenient for remit
ting newspaper subscriptions and such lit
tie things.
At the same time in the United
States the price of small money or
ders, already more than twice as high
as in Gambia, is to be still further
raised. 1t is difficult to understand
why rates which prove sufficient in
the Dominion are inadequate in this
country. An immediate result Of the
increase will be great falling off in
the number of orders sent.
