 Reminiscences.- The communication in another column, "Clerical Reminiscent ces," was written for THE DAILY, but it did not come at time when we could put it in type for that purpose. It is just as good for the Weekly, and will be read with interest.
 Brigham Young Dying.-A despatch from Salt Lake City, of the 2sth says: Brigham Young is suffering from cholera morbus and inflammation of the bowels, It is claimed by his family that his condition has improved to-day, but those who should be best informed think he is dying. "Who cares2"

The smallest log measured seven inches in diameter at the smallest end, and the largest measured fourteen feet and nine inches in circumfer- ence. How is this for pine tree story We have the facts from MT. John Jones of that place, and MT. Jones and the CONN. WESTERN NEWS never equivocate. Any way, the statement is true, as can be amply vouched for. There is now an opportunity for Boss Sawyer Cleaveland of Lakeville tc ''rise to remark"

The horse suddenly took fright and the wagon being overturned, Mrs. Gil bert was thrown to the ground.

 Fire.-Last Saturday evening at abou half-past nine o'clock, fire was discovere in the shed or wing of MT. Frederick Wat sons barn, located few rods back of hi residence in this village, and almost imme diately the whole roof was in blaze. Tn barn and shed were entirely destroyed There were few tons of hay, some oats, carriage, buggy, cutter, etc. in the barr The carriage. buggy and cutter were ru out and saved. Fortunately MT. Watson horse was in the pasture. The propert was insured. The barn was locked, an
 nobody had been in there since sometim before dark, and that it was set on fire there seems to be no doubt, as none ca imagine how it could have been otherwis ignited.
 The solid walled sides of the EpiscOps church, which stood only about thirty fee
 from the burning barn, saved that structur from destruction. The ornamental corne which was of wood was entirely burne off and had it not been for the indefatlga ble efforts of the citizens, to keep It's pin shingIed roof wet, for surely never me
 worked harder, the church must certainl have gone.
