self neat house on his farm near the site of the
one burned.
We learn that Mr.. Richard M. Pinkbam died
at his home in Muscatine, Iowa, on the 25th ult +,

he emgrsted with his family TO Iowa, where he
settled on farm 3 IL miles northeast Of the pre-
sent city of Muscatne, which farm has ever since
been his home. lis was member Of the Society

he to his great satisfaction picks up near his mill
the seat and part of the pants of some thief who
had doubtless been lurking In the vicinity, and
had come within reach of the dogs jaws. 1t is
