they come in direct competition, while the

of rura journalism.

by reference to the proceedings of the Board o
Supervisors In another column, have beer
awarded the contract for building the new coun
ty almhouse for the sum of $4,000. This vii
be one OF the finest buildings in this region, an(
the builders expect to make it a credit to tneii
reputation. The work is to be finished by Oct
! LIST, next.
OPERA lloUsE.
A force OF forty or fifty men were engaged yes
terday in demollshing the standing walls of tht
Opera House, which, during the recent heavy
wind threatened to tumble down and demolish
not only the passer. by, but Isl" Deans livery
stable adjoining it on the east.
The work of rebuilding the Opera House is to
be commenced as soon as the weather will per
nit, The new building will be an improvement
upon the old in various respects, but the plan
not yet being perfected we await the motions
of the architect for further details.
INSURANCE.
Messrs. Colwell & Clark find fault, and Justly
too, with the companies in which they were in
sured When insurance agents desire to insure,
or rather bore, ana drum, and bother you to death
to get your insurance., nothing is so easy as to
pay over the money and the atfable agent prompt
ly fixes out the papers, Then there is no fault
to find about the regularity of the documents.
Everything is simple and-so are the average
people who insure with agents who bone them
for insurance. A respectable insurance com
pany, like a respectable business man, does not
or should not button hole you on the street or
buzz you to death in your store, or office, or
home to get your patronage. There is no pre-
tence that the Opera House was not consumed
by fire, or that Colwell, Clark IL Co., or any one
for them caused it to burn, nor that it is total
loss. Yet these insurance companies grumhle
and grunt and go through endless lengths of
red tape and do not pay up promptly. We under
stand that other parties who suffered loss in the
same fire have similar complaints against certain
companies. This does not apply to all Of the
companies that sustained loss in the fire, some
having promptly settled and satisfactorily adjust
ed and paid up. These shall have honorable
mention in due time.
Those that have manifested a disposition to
rcpudatc their policies shall also receive fitting
puff" if Colwell, Clark q Co. and Others do not
forget the grievances of which they now com

STREAToR, Ill.,, Feb. 5.
A sad and melancholy accident occurred
on Tuesday at the C. Il. & @. yard in this
town. 1t appears that Patrick Devine, a
young man 81 years of age, who has been in
the employ of the above road for some years,
was requested by a fellow workman to take
his place as switchman on the nights Of Sun
day and Monday. The alleged reason for the
substitution was that the regular switchman's
mother was sick, ana he wished to sit up with
her. Poor Devine readily consented, and the
result was that in some inexplicable manner
-conjectures Gpart-hG was instantly crush.
ed TO death by an engine,
On Tuesday an inquest was held, whence
il appears that the deceased "came to his
death by being caught in some manner and
thrown under the car and almost instantly
killed, while in the discharge of his duty"
That IS all. The FL Paso J0ulmal says,
Gould the Inflated boy speak for himself,
perchance he would tell US quite another
! story"

was held at the Catholic church on Wednes-
day at II A. VI. Rev. Father McDonough
the worthy pastor, offered UP first mass, and
Rev James O'ConnOr, OF Wilmington, H.,
SAID the second mass. After these services
Father O'Connor preached an eloquent and
most pathetic sermon oyer the poor boys re-
mains. John Devine, the father of deceased,
has been in the employ of the c. B. d @. road
! for many years, and is one of our most re-
spected citizens. He is brother Of the late
| Rev James Dcvine, Of Seneca The entire

Last winter was so mild that the ice men here
abouts were troubled to get a supply, and the
result was our people paid double price for ice
last summer. This year the trouble, If any, is
that there is too much ice. The danger rs we
write (thcrmometer u below is that the rivers
at Ottawa, which are unusually low, will frieze
20 the bottom in which case the difficulty OF
gathering the ice would again raise the price in
spite of the great abundance.
