COncressma or Sen Lion.

A dispatch from Oshkosh states that on
Thursday ex-Cengressman Sawyer and H.
w. Mckay, president of the Sawyer Manu-
featuring Company, of that city, got INFO a
small skiff to go out on the river, and look
at some logs. Mckay took the paddle, and
Sawyer seated himself in the bottom of the
boat, with his back to the bow. All was
lovely until the boat got some distance
from shore, when the craft struck pile
and went over it, dumping both of the dis
tinguish ed gentlem men into the Drink. All
that was left for them to do was to swim
tor raft of logs about two rods distance.
Mckay, on reaching the raft, Chamber
out, and after some putting and blowing
the ex member reached the haven of rest,
and was landed by Mckay. Phietus being
quite portly, did not present very beautiful
or digni6ed appearance, but was decidedly
wet and bedraggled. Some persons who
saw the gentlemen in the water supposed
that the missing sea lion had come to light,
and visions of that $500 reward came and
went be fore their distorted visions

Farmers in this vicinity are busy these
days with their threshing. The yield of
wheat is discouraging indeed OCCASIONAL

bushels per acre, and of a very poor quail

this years growth. While wheat is almost
failure this reason, other crops never
promised better. Oats, corn, barley, pota-
Toes and other products of the farm were
never better, and where the farmer has not
depended entirely on wheat, his prospects
are not as bad as they might be.

A Fire.

Friday night last the exciting alarm of
fire was raised on the streets, and suddenly
started our citizt MS from their mld-niph t
sleep. The burning of the ice-house be.
longing to Mr.. VanAlstine, ofthe Exchange,
and situated on the bank of the river north
of the Bank of Watertown, was found to
be the cause of the alarm The bui lding
was somewhat ancient and dlapidated, and
not having been in use for some time gave
rise to the suspicion that it was set on fire.
In fact the origin Of the fire can be &C.
counted for in no other way; besides it is
asserted that a strong smell of kerosene
was discernible when the flames first burst
ou5. Our two steamers were promptly on
the ground ready to render the necessary
assistance. Two streams were thrown on
the burning building, one by the Silsby
m achine from the river, and one by the
Ahrens from the cistern on the corner of
Main and Second Streets. Both machines
worked admirably, and the boys handled
them like old fremen. 1t took
some little time to subdue the flames, ow-
ing to the fact that the fire was on the
river side Of the building Finally the fire
was 'overcome, but not before the building
was badly used up. This ice house was one
of the few old landmarks left in our midst
