Patch Grove.

The Prairie Gu Chem Courier has
the following correspondence
A visit to Patch Grove reveals the fact that
it is quiet there in business circles as it is any
where else Alex Paul, one of the leading
merchants, has turned granger, and gone to
farming on one of his farms, leaving Miss Gull
in charge of the store and postoffice as Miss
Gull has been long time in the employ OF
Mr. Paul, he leaves very competent substi-
tute in his place Robert Collier, another wide
awake merchant, politician and ecclesiastical
gentleman, has gone to his native land, beyond
the sea i'm "merrie Old England" The 'cor-
ners" are lonesome in his absence, although he
has left his business in the hands of a compe-
tent yo1lng .an who can do the business IN a
manner as genial and affable as could the
worthy proprietor himself, were he there.
Notwithstanding the dizziness of the times,
and scarcity of money, Patch Grove has some
of the finest sidewalks in the county Another
enterprising institution in this village of the
Prairie is a fourishng Mendoza Council, which
seems like an oasis in the desert. Bright
faces and happy hearts assemble there from
time to time, and the good they are doing in
the way of temperance is inestimabe. TheiE
literary exercises are commendable, and or
there, Miss Jennie O'Nel rendered the minis,
ter's sermon in charming style, and the manner
in which two young Misses went for the bach
elors and men generally, made us feel as if We
had got into the wrong pew. Well, let then
grind, we can stand it for their sakes if nothing
more The school under Miss Mccoy is doing
well for the young men and woman of the
community, as well as those of more tender
wears A few there are who train the amblt'
ious hop, and send it on its upward road
among whom is Mr. Reed Patch, who has &
large hop yard, and does the hop business az
he does every business in which he engages OF
a large scale The crops in this vicinity look
fair and promise well. The corn is nearly all
| planted, which gives the farmers time to res
and fix up fences as well as to keep the road
in repair. BY the way good deal of thi
road repairing is done while resting under {
shade tree, or some other place appropriate

Fire at Vergennes.

About midnight Friday night, very
heavy storm of rain accompanied with Sc
we're thunder and lightning, passed over
Vergennes. Some time after fire was dis
covered in the office of N. G. Norton's
Touring mill on the island-about O. 10. The
alarm was Immediately struck and the fiIe-
men turned out promptly and soon had
half dozen streams on the building, which
by this time was all sblazs.
At one time the wind which was blowing
very har1 from the south, carried the
flames over near the pump house. But the
water commissioners were ready and
worked well. Mr.. Maldoon had stream
playing on the building while Mr.. Flanders
attended to the pumps. 1t was rather
warm and the fremtn on the island were
obliged to get behind barricades and be con.
tinnally wet. Several of the pipemen were
| badly scorched about the face. and hands.
| All the hose companies, 'Stevens," 'Vol-
unteers," "Olter Creeks" Eagle" and the
| Mammoth" were present The "Mam-
moth" men for the most part occupied
prominent positions in the rear ON the
bridge, their foreman being absent
on business. The other fremen
worked we'll and were assisted by
many citizens. The policy of refusing to
exempt the flremen from paying their poll
| tax was muchly discussed and in that con-
nection that at the last town meeting the
voters, or at least majority, refused to
abate the taxes of the firemen for the year
ensuing. The Mammoth hose was organ
lied on purpose to do away with the ex-
emptlon of fremen.
The mill was built 10 1s47, by Chas. W.
Bradbury, VIM. Ii. Gwinn architect. II
was sold to j. w; Hawley, Parker 4

There were six run of stones and plaster
