Blood on rHE NIooS.-A dangerous
looking individual, carrying more dan
gerous looking gun, stepped into our Office

"Mr. Joplin We pointed out the late
sheriff, who sat near, but our visitor re-

PREPARING AFTER THE CATASTROPHE,
AZ UsuAL--Messrs. NJ. 7. Brinkley and J.
4. Vowels have purchased 100 feet Of strong
cable, two ladders, and a number OF Ere
hooks. At the next fire they propose to
have something to fight the destroying
demon with. II is passing strange to us
that our citizens do no, unite in the par-
chase Of hooks and ladders sufficient to
equip. and the organization Of ERE COM
pany Any sensible man knows that If
conhagration shall ever occur in either Of
the blocks which front on Main Street, the
whole will be consumed, unless We have
some means to employ in fighting the
flames. Let US have a Gre company. It's
like living in the Crater Of Vesuvius, to
live in this town.
FRE.-Tuesday morning, at Eve min.
utes past l2 O'Clock, the Court-house hell
sounded an alarm Of fire, bringing citizens
hurriedly from their repose. The dwell
ing of J. 7. Clark, on Richmond street,
was discovered in flames, the fire having
broken out in the second story. Some fu-
tile efforts were made to save the building
which could easily have been done, with
ladder and few buckets Of water, neither
of which could be procured. The flames
quickly spread over the roof and soon en-
veloped the entire building, which, in an
hours time vas totally destroyed. Most
of the furniture was saved, though in
damaged condition. The FIRE was acciden-
tai, though its origin is not easily explain
ed. The loss Is about $1,000, with an in
surance Of 81 900 on the building and $500
on the furniture in the Etna, Of Hartford.
The house had been recently improved BY
the addition Of an upper story, portico,
DC, making 1t one among the neatest and
most pretentious buildings In town. The
loss falls quite heavy on Mr.. ClarK, for
whom much sympathy Is expressed BY the
lie and family will find a
home for the present, in the house recently
purchased by Mr.. NJ. +. Brinkley, on Main
Street, that gentleman having kindly al
lowed them to occupy 1t gratuitouslv.
A LUDlpRoUs sronY.-puring the re-
cent cold snap an incident occurred in
Scaffold Cane, this county, which. while,
now apparently only ludierons, came near
being tragical in it, result Mr.. Alva Pu.-

Is excessively fond Of hunting, came TO
scafiold Cane to indulge his propensity in
shooting pheasants. lie vas accompanied
by a young gentleman whs was employed

forth next morning in search Of game. The
heavy snow had just fallen and the trees
were bowed under il weight. IN that sec

Ing their long, slender bodies to a height
Of not unusually 90 feet. On that day,
however, these pines under their burden
of snow had bent themselves until, in ma

tops the music.teacher Was making his
