THE Baptist Church, at Winthrop, was

THE Baptist Church, at Winthrop, was
entered, last Monday evening, by some
person or persons, who proceeded to tear
up the seats, burn up the books, and
cause destruction generally to the church
property. No clue to the perpetrators
has been found. If the miscreants are
not lost to every semblance of man
hood, We should think they would die
of their own contempt.

FIRE.-Last Friday evening, at near
ly the hour of twelve, the fire alarm
bell rang out its summons, and, upon
examination, small shanty near the
Illinois Central railroad track, was dis
covered to be in flames. Before the
Fire Department could get to the scene,
the house was burned to the ground.
1t proved to be small building owned
by Pat Moran, and occupied by him as
dwelling. Upon the evening of the
fire Mrs. Moran was baking bread and
while thus occupied, some one came in
and informed her that the house was
on fire. We believe nothing in the
building was saved, and the loss thus
falls quite heavily upon poor man.

by the ordinance, is $15 per year, and

matter, offered to take $40, but the liv-

THE NoM Ioaoa Post, of Dubuque, in

muster of the 4th Regiment |. n. g., in

citizens generally:
The Independence Company is perhaps the
finest drilled company of the Regiment; Il fine
body of men, of which each one seems to take
great pride to excel. And-hcre Is the secret.
No man should be a member of these Militia
Companies unless he prides himself upon be
ing good and prompt soldier, willing to do
his whole duty. Young men make the best sol
diers and they are the ones to fill the militia

Prof. Adams walked the 80 miles in 9

Rob. Sites started to walk mile

orally observed by the young ladies in
independence. The followers of his
Sulphuric Majesty pull the cabbages
from each citizens garden, and pile
them up on the front door step; hang
the gate on a tree near by; place the
milliners sign over the blacksmith
shop, and rice re,so and play all sorts
pranks generally. We have heard of
no depredations being committed here,
and cannot account for it. Perhaps
there is so much deviltry going on in
this city the year around that no spec
ial efforts are put forth on this occa-
sion.

LECTURE.-The lecture of Rev. w.
L. Hunter, at the Baptist church, last
Monday evening, upon the influences
that tend to national greatness and
prosperity, was spirited and eloquent
effort The speaker presented a glow
ing picture of the grand career of our
country, abiding to the noble and de-
vout characteristics of the men who
founded great nation in the wilderness
of this western continent, upon the i'm
pregnable principles of faith in God and
recognition of the equality and rights
of men. He enforced the lesson of their
lives, and the results of their selfsac-
rifcing and God-fearing labors, declar-
ing that only by similar faith. and the
exercise of similar virtues, could our
country be prosperous and happy This
is but mere outline of the lecture, Civ
ing its general scope and direction. 1t
was delivered with the speakers usual
force and animation, and listened to
with satisfaction by quite fair sized
audience.
