The fishing business at this place il
pretty good at present. There will be
more Irvine put in the lake this season
than ever before. Already tbere have
been a number of splendid hauls made
by the gill-net fishermen.
The tug being built at this place for
Mr.. Endress, by Messrs Hanson &
Scove, is nearly completed, and viii be
ready for launching sometime this week.
It is built of the very best materials,
ard is a perfect little model of beauty.
And although we are not much of mar
inc, our opinion is that she will scamper
over the waves as lightly, as safely and
IS swiftly as anything on the lake.
A barn belonging to VIM. lander, of
the town of Gibson, in this county, took
Ere during the high wind of last We'd
nesday and was completely destroyed.
We are not informed as to how the FIRE
originated. but it is supposed by some
who are acquainted with the premises
that the barn took fire from the smoke
stack of steam mill near at hand, be-
longing to Mr.. Zander- There were if
teen sheep in the barn that We're burned
with the building, besides considerable
grain and other property. There was al
in surance on the building, but theamount
will not cover the loss.

MEEME, April 10, 1876.
Times lively.
Agents numerous
Roads poor, buf improving.
Most of the boys who have been NORTH
this winter are now home.
John Burns, of Chicago, is spending
few days with his folks here.
Mr.. L. Walsh, of Newton, is shortly
to emigrate with his family to Iowa ano
make that his future home. Some time
ago his son started for the Black Hills
and has not been heard from since. II
is feared he is lost.
We are proud to say that we have il
Liberty two young gentlemen OF about
eighty summers who have served In the
Mexican struggle. They are both we'll
to-dc farmers and in perfect health
Their names are Thomas Donahoe and
James O'Rork.
Mr.. John Rodenwahl is having hard
luck last winter his wife sickencd and
died. leaving helpless family of eight
small children to care for themselves.
This winter four of his oldest children
sickened and also died from grief and
fatigue, John himself took sick, and al
present his recovery is hopeless.
Leap year and no one has yet told
our rusty old bachelors TO rejoice and
these fair maidens of 30 summers to take
courage. There are about thirty OF
eserusty specimens of humanity around
Meme, who have lived until now in
single blessedness, including our long
time friend 'sDade;' also Patrick,
who is working for James Taugher. If
these lines should happen to come under
the modest eyes of some blushing daugh-
ter, we hope they may soften their hearts
and bring on resolution to take advan-
tage Of leap year to capture these frisky
young lads who are now III the prime OF
life, and make them benedicts in the
fullest sense of the word.

take a good deal of fine kindling wood
to make any decent flame.

A Husbands UngalIant Remark.

A young married lady of this city, dis
tinguished for her beauty, sweet temper
aud benevolence, has been suffering for a
week past with Il cutaneous eruption of
the face which she at first treated very
lightly, but as it grew no better after sew
eral solutions had been applied, and be-
came quite painful, to say nothing of the
temporary Disagreement, the lady lost
patience, became very irritable, scolded
the servants, and even her liege lord, to
whom she had never spoken before save
in the gentlest tones, came in for quite a
share of criticism. This morning DR..
Bontecou was called in and examined the
case. Doctor" said the anxious hns-
band, "do you think it can be anything
serious?" Not in the least replied
the Doctor, with professional gravity; 1T
may be the result of cold, or possibly a
little humor of the blood" "lt cannot
he the latter, Doctor" rejoined the hus-
band, because my wife has been out Of
humor for a week" We are glad to
learn that the Doctor charged him a
double fee.-1roy IN. ~ Press.
