About o'clock last evening a fire was
discovered in the rear Of Robert DOn's S
bakery, which proved to be in barn be-
longing to the premises. which belonged to
James Johnston, who lives above the
bakery. Wide Awake Hose Co was the
FIRST to throw water on the fire, Neptune
second The Phoenix Co. was also on hand
and laid its hose, but the fire was a small
one and was put out before they threw
water Wide Awake Co., Jr arrived at
the same time as the senior company, and
the little boys had their hose off ready for
business in case of break.
The barn was a small frame. very dry,
and contained some hay in the loft. The
whole was totally destroyed, and in a very
few minutes. Two horses were in the
barn at the time, one belonging to Mr..
Don and the other to g. A. Bromley,
which were rescued, not without consider
able trouble, by Deputy Marshal Miller
and Policeman Rogers. The FIRE was the
work of an incendiary. Loss about $500

Letter to J. L. Perkins.

In this paper will be found letter from
Capt Shew, of Cordova, withdrawing his
support from j. LPerkins. the Republican
candidate for sheriff. His example will,
without doubt. be followed by many more
Republicans throughout the county.
Capt. Shew is magistrate in Cordova,
and man Of ability and highly respected
by all. He gives vivid description of
the marauding bummers who attended the
Hawley meeting in Cordova.
One point in the Captains letter should
not be overlooked. and that is one we
alluded to the other day, viz: that the or
iginal abolitionists and free soilers are
nearly all for Tildsn. 1t will be noticed
that Capt. Shew was one Of those men and
one of the organizers OF the Republican
party. 1t is SO everywhere-Charles
Francis Adams, Geo. W. Julian, Lyman
Trumbull, John M. Palmer, Gen. John F..
Farnsworth. Frank W. Bird. Cassius NJ.
Clay, Gutavus Keruer. Frederick Hass
aureck, Franz Sigel, Elk Senator's Cowan,
Upton, and Ross, Charles A. Dana, An
drew G. Curtin, and hundreds more of
Just such men. Gov. Tilden himself
was a; Wilmot proviso-Silas Wright
free soiler, and all the old abolitionists and
free soilers have implicit confidence in
him. Wilmot was a Democratic con
gressman from Pennsylvania. Wright
was one of the best known Democrats in
America. To fact the free soil movement
was began and carried on by Democrats,
and having accomplished their object they
are now fer Tilden. No wonder that such
an honest class of men, having accomplish
ed the object of their organization. now
flock around Honest Uncle Sam Tilden as
the man to restore our civil administration
to honesty and economy. Capt Shew 5
example will be followed by many more in
this county.
