the numerous sloughs. Almost every
morning thee OF four boat loads may be
seen vending their way up the river, TO
indulge in this favorite sport, and some
very fine tlsh-mostly pickerel-are
taken. We noticed one in the possession
of Tom Marinus the other evening, that
rather beats anything in this line we have
seen this season. 1t was pickerel, and
weighed 10 pounds and 6 OF. 1t was
taken short distance above the railroad

FIRE.-The inhabitants of Independ-
ence were aroused at 1880 o'clock last
Sunday night, by the wild cries of fire,
coming from the neighborhood of the
Central depot. The location was soon as
certained, when it was discovered that the
barn connected with the Chatham House
was all ablaze. 1t was evident from the
outset that the barn and outbulldings
would be destroyed, so attention was di-
rected to the hotel, IN close proximity.
Everything availablein the shape of pals
was put to immediate use, and the neigh
bors and boarders did noble work in keep
ing the flames from communicating with
the house, and but for their superhuman
exertlons all must have been lost before
the fire engines reached the ground. When
the fire companies did arrive all danger
had passed. Mr.. Naylor was just getting
ready to retire when he heard the yell of
fire. He Immediately rushed to the door
when he saw the flames and smoke issuing
out of the south end of his barn. His
first thought was his horses. They were
tied in the north end, and he had just
barely time to get them out and set of
harness when the flames reached the north
door. Attached to the barn were several
sheds, which, with the exception of the
one occupied by hogs, were all consumed.
No possible idea can be formed as to the
origin of the fire. Loss on barn, sheds,
hay, grain, &C., $1,000. Insured for
5000 In addition to the rebuilding OF
the burned property, Mr.. Naylor has COM
pleted arrangements to raise, enlarge and
rebuild portion of his hotel, which,
when completed, will make it one of the
neatest and most convenient hotel build
ings in the city.

The County Convention.

The Republican County Convention
which meets in this city tomorrow, will
nominate a candidate for Clerk of the
Court, Recorder, and three members Of
the Board of Supervisors, to fill the places
of Mcssrs. Bryant, Miller, and Bunce,
whose terms expire January 1, 1877, and
Will also elect sixteen delegates to repre-
sent the county in the Republican Con
gressional Convention at McGregor
For Clerk, Mr.. d. L. Smith will be a
candidate for denomination, and SO far as
we have information, will have no oppo.
sition. He is one of the very best officers
in that position in Iowa, and it is the
plainest dictate of wisdom and economy
to keep him there.
Mr.. Hollett, the Recorder, is also a
candidate for denomination. and is warm
ly supported by those who have knowl-
edge of his efficiency for the position.
Mr.. Downs, of Otterville, is also can
didate for this place. He is young man
of excellent character and good ability,
and has been for some time engaged as
teacher. He will have some warm
friends who will do all in their power for
his success.
We hear no.suggestion with regard to
the candidates for Supervisors.
Regarding the delegates to McGregor,
there will be no strife, it the Republicans
of the county are suffered to run the con-
vention without outside interference or
advice. We think there is a general dis
position to send to McGregor, delega-
ton of fair and liberal minded men, who
shall exercise their best judgement re-
garding the choice of candidate for
Congress, keeping in view character, abil-
ity, experience, and the popularity to
make vigorous and successful canvass;
a delegation that shall be able to appreci-
ate the demands of the party for candi
dates of power and real merit, rather than
a capacity for trickery and demagogue-
ism.

OPENING OF THE NEW OPERA HOUSE,
As the new and spacious temple Of the mu-
ses, erected by Mr.. Charles King, has
progressed toward completion. and its
beauties and magnificent proportions have
developed from day to day, and it has
come to be a certainty that our city is to
be provided with an amusement hall in
ferior to none In the State in capacity and
adaptation to all the purposes of a first
class place of entertainment, there has
arisen in the breasts of our public-splrited
citizens an interest, first, to have its inter
ior decoration and stage appliances cor
respond with its magnificent proportions,
and second, to have the occasion of its
opening signalized by an entertainment
of novel and attractive character, and
something above the usual order. By the
liberal aid of our people the first object
has been secured. Mr.. Frank D. Skiff,
of Chicago, a scenic artist of merit is
about completing suit of splendid see
merry, fully adequate to all probable de-
mands, and is now engaged IN frescoeing
the walls and ceiling Of the auditorium in
tasteful design. The dedication of this
elegant hall, in fitting style, was the next
thing to consider, and the subject has the
careful consideration of those to whom
the arrangements were entrusted. After
considerable correspondence with first
class troupes an engagement has been
closed With Payson's English Opera Com
pany of Boston, one of the finest music
al organizations travelling, which will
formally open the new opera house Octo-
Der Sd, by the performance of Flotow's
favorite Opera of Martha, "a composition
replete with the most beautiful music and
interesting situations, which will be
produced with new scenery, splendid cos
tunes, &c. The troupe consists of Miss
w. E. Benziger, soprano; Miss Adelaide
Randall, contralto; Mr.. John II. Garner,
tenor; Mr. Edward S. Payson, basso,
and Mr. J. A. Howard, pianist. They
are first class artists, and their perform
ances have everywhere been received with
unbounded manifestations of satisfaction.
Nothing will be spared to give this initial
performance IN our new temple of the
drama the greatest possible interest and
eclat; and as the profits of the occasion
are to go to Mr.. King, as token of pub
lie appreciation of his liberality in erecting
so fine public building, we cannot doubt
that the hall will be filled to its utmost
capacity Further particulars hereafter.
