TRrMBELLE, Feb. Is


Our "Mte Society," is in fiourishing con-
dition. In other words, it is society that
"means business" right along.
The town board met last Saturday to in
vestigate a little matter between Edgar Leach
and the town 1t was rather Of an interest
ing session, and resulted in no definite ac-
ton.
Last Friday evening the Trustees Of the
First Baptist Church Of Trimbelle, met to
transact business for the Church, and to
make provisions for the material with which
to build a church 1t is expected that the
work will commence late in April, or by the
first Of May.
Already have our ambitious Office seekers
commenced the spring campaign. While
Grant is figuring for the nomination for Pres
ident, there are men in Trimbelle who are no
less anxious to be elected overseers Of high
ways There is nothing like ambition in this
world, and nothing that so excites an am-
bilious man as the prospect Of an election to
an office, be il ever so humble

amid the dangers and hardships of
frontier life, speaks of this as the pet
scare of her life. The following morn
ing repeated firing was heard at
Browns, which naturally reused the
curiosity of the neighbors. Finally
Mr.. McAllister, taking with him re-
volving rifle, started out to make obser.
vations. He discovered seven men,
women and children shooting at a
mark. His report put the community
at rest.
In the spring of 1855, Noah Trips
house was burned, and all its contents
destroyed except one hundred and
sixty dollars in gold, which was found
in the cellar in perfect preservation.
The day after the fire the neighbors
met and arranged to rebuild the house,
a plan which was executed in very
few days. The same day "Uncle
Frank Otis, with a promptness and
generosity that will surprise no one
acquainted with him, started for Pres.
colt, and returned the following day
with SIS in gold, and $85 in merchan-
disc, the ready gift of the warm.heart-
ed people of that place.
In earlier days Indians were quite
common, but not troublesome. John
Beardsley speaks of having seen so
Sioux warriors camp within a short
distance of his house, on their return
from a victorious battle with the
Chippewas. They had the scalps of
their victims strung upon pole, and
in the night celebrated their success
with a war-dance.

FIRE!

Hark! what sound is that, which loud and high
Rings out on the clear frosty night;
Arousing each sleeper from peaceful dreams
To spring from his couch in alright
Fire! Fire! Fire,
The Fire-hend comes With seorching breath,
No power anstsy his fierce wrath;
With wreck, and ruin, and blighted hopes,
He ruthlessly strews his path.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
The wind in mad glee follows close behind
To aid with his powerful breath
The flames, az they come with surge and roar,
Bringing sorrow, destruction, and death.
Fire! Fire. Fire,
Borne on the winds the nre-brand bright,
Is carried TO homes far away;
But guarded by love, and mantle Of snow,
The demon is kept at bay.
Watch! Watch Watch
Watch when the south wind gently blows,
Watch when the dawn is nigh,
Or soon again in the STILL dark night
You may hear that fearful cry
Fire! Fire! Fire!
