Has ssurla,l. Up to Friday night
Of last week the country for miles
around hal been threatened for a week
or more by devastating fires to an ex-
tent greater than at any time dur
iug the. season. The horizon in every
direction was lit np as evening come
on, with luril glare that told Of the
terrible destruction Of property which
could only be arretel by drencAing
rains. On Friday the flames seemed
to have reached their eliminating
point, and rumors of terrible sacrifice
of property, and possible destruction
of tenements and farm property were
current upon our streets. just back
Of Centralia the flames sent tongues of
fire up into the dry and covered
tamaracks, till the sky was crimsoned
with the fire which could be distinctly
seen for miles as it sped on licking up
everything dry. before stiff gale from
the South west.
The outbuildings and Tannery
owned by James McGrath were threat
ened all day Friday, and Mr.. Berons
Mill and surrounding buildings were
equally exposed. 4 rumOr prevailed
that Mr.. Boron had asked the aid of
the steamer, but the rumor was with
out foundation. On the -Four Mile
creek the loss in hay alone will reach
thousands of dollars. Over three
hundred tons were reported burned /
Friday night. Many cases Of won
derful endurance and suffering are re
ported. Mr.. Sparks and S5eiubrook,
we are told were GRIT about with fire
from 5 clock in the morning till 81
o'clock in the evening without a drops
Of water, not daring to try to eseapeI
for fear they would be smothered in
the dense smoke. or burned to death
by the fire which had eaten its way
into the ground to depth of six inch
es leaving only smouldering earth and
pitfalls of red hot ashes. The marsh
es have suffered very muck, and large
quantities of timber have been ruined.
Fortunately heavy rain set in Fri
dag evening about 8 O'Clock which has
pretty etfeetually subdued the fires.
The number of tons CT hay consumed

SIS This Seat Occupied"

An old but,vigorous looking gentle
man, seemingly from the rural dis
tricts. got into car and walked its
full length without receiving an invita-
ton to sit down. Approaching one
gentleman who had whole bench to
himself he asked, is this seat occu-
pied ?" Eyes, sir, it is, . impertinent-
ly replied the other. ''Well, " replied
the broad shouldered agricuIturist, Il
will keep this seat until the gentleman
comes" The original proprietor with
drew himself haughtily to one end,
and looked insulted. After while the
train got in motion, and still nobody
came to claim the seat, whereupon the
deep-chested agriculturist turned and
said : ''Sir, when you told me that
this seat was occupied you told me
lie''-such was his plain language
4 never sit near liar if | can avoid
it; | would rather stand up" Then
appealing TO another party he said
Sir, may 7 sit next to yol. You
don't look like liar" We need hard
ly say that he got his seat and that the
original proprietor thought that there
was something wrong about our social
system. -Bajtimore Gazette
A new swindle is being worked
in some parts Of this state, upon farm

sirous of selling out. and after some
talk about their wonderful facilities
for selling farms, they will
make out contract at stipulated
price for the farm, they to have all
they can get beyond that price. Next
they fool the farmer into giving his
note for SO, which he is told is need.
ed to advertise and properly get his
farm into market That is the last the
farmer knows of them except to pay
the note. The Beaver Dam Argus
says these fellows have been working
this swindle lively in Dodge County

Stevens Point. - The engine was. de-

engaged in bringing cars from the train

opened the brakes, and it came down
at the engine and cars, smashed into

Miss Grandy,'' tells a little story
about Col. Nick Smith, son-in-law of
Horace Greelay. His first wife, a
Miss Lou Pope, Of Louisville, Ky.
was in sympathy with the rebellion,
and he was an officer in the federal
army while he was doing his counting
during the first year of the war.
Miss Pope would never allow him to
visi: her in his uniform, and not long
after their marriage. or about the
time it occurred, he resigned from the
army. When he married Miss Gree
ley he adopted her faith, the Roman
Catholic, and not long since he named
his infant boy Horace Greeley, drop
ping the name Of Smith so far as the
child is concerned. so it may be
said, says Miss Grundy, "that he
gave up his country for his first wife,
his religion for his second, and his
name for his child" E.ccAarge.
