OF hook and ladder company No. 3. The ocra-
sion on which Capt Meagher displayed tn
courage for which he was houored was on The
2a OF May, 1878. Fire was discovered on thu
upper floors OF No. 2S east 18th street. Captain
Meagher with his command was in front OF the
building in less than two minutes from The
time when the alarm was sounded. and on hi
arrival saw woman hanging partly out OF the
fourth-StOry window. He ordered a forty-two-
foot ladder to be placed against the building.
but 1t proved to be about ten feet too short. He
then ordered it to be placed on the highest step
OF the front stoop. Fireman Flood assembled
the ladder, but when he reached the top found
1t still too Short. AT this point Flood injured
his foot. Capt Meagher then ordered several OF
his men to hold the ladder erect and away from
the house. He then assembled, and, standing on
the top step but one, forty-two feet from the
ground, told the woman to drop into his arms.
She did so. and he caught her with one arm,
holding fast by the other. and then passed the
woman down to another fireman.

Met on Saturday evening, May Sd, at
the residence of Mr.. VIM. Pettes. The
club was, As usual, largely attended. the
house being filled. This is peculiarly
the farmers pet institution, and they
have q justifiable and commendable
pride in its well-bcing, while the inter
est has not abated through all the years
of it's existence. The discussion Of the

ceivcd by tho large and attentive audi
ence. Tho club paper was read by DIR.
Van Eaton. After the discussion OF the
elegant supper, served in nrotusion, the
hours were beguiled by the social inter
course which is SC marked feature Of

secured BY the work and isolation OF
farm life.

Quite An excitement was created on
last Friday by the shooting of John
Smith (colored) by Anderson Cole (col-
ored). 1t appears as though there has
been some controversy between Smith
and Cole, over . piece Of land owned by
the former; and on Friday morning,
while Smith was setting out some trees
on bis land Cole came to where no was
and said "John you're over tho line,"
to which Smith answered "No l guess

Salina ard they gave this eighty OF
yours to me-" al have deed for it at
the house" says Smith, and looking up
from his work discovered that Cole
had drawn o revolver and had it leveled
at his head. Before he was aware of
Coles intentions, Cole fired, tho shot
taking effect over his lett eye. Hc then
fred two other shots which took effect
in his head and left arm. lie then said {:
mo get off," and started home. Smith
got up and went home, bathed bis head
and arm, and then walked over to Mr..
Fritz's, and they sent for DIR. Billiard.
But in tho meantime DR.. Stearns came
by and brought Smith to town, and he
and DR.. Billiard examined and dressed
his wounds and found that they were
not fatal, the pistol having been loaded
with no 400" shot. Tho constable and
four or five men there went and brought
Cole in, who on preliminary sxamina-
ton plead guilty; and, in default OF
bail was committed to Jail to await his
trial. He said he loaded his pistol with
the intention of killing Smith, and went
to whore he was at work for that pur-
pose.

In tho early part of this century,
during tho depression which resulted
from long wars and which weighed so
heavily upon the British nation, relief
was sought in Parliament, and tho scri-
ous attention of that body was brought
to tho consideration of such reform bills
rs suggested proper remedies. The
present condition of the country has
been pictured to Parliament rs one of
distress and distraction, and notwith-
standing tho inclination of the Lords to
call it an absurdity, they will find that
they must legislate-and right speedily,
for the interests of the suffering trades
men OF the Empire.

The Mississippi Valley Labor ConSen-
ton met last Monday at Vicksburs, and
seems TO have been quito harmonious
affair. There was a general feeling of
concession from the white to the color
cd people. The report of the committee
will, 1t is thought, favor reduction of
the price for the rent of land, less cx-
horbitant prices for the neccssaries OF
living aud more general recognition Of
the political rights of the colored man.
There was general sentiment among
delegates Of both color in favor Of such
q resolution.

AUNITED PARTY.

While the President was attempting
his policy of reconciliation" there were
those among the Democrats who re-
joiced that tho Republican party was to
be split in twain. In this grand break
ing up they prophesiod that large por.
ton of the "parts" would gather about
the Democratic standard; and from that
coigDe OF vantage their party must step
into power. In this they were deceived
as they never were before. The Repub-
licans arc now nearer united than they
have been since the close of the war.
Just as coon as tho old Confederate war
cry was sounded in tho halls of Con
gross, the Republicans all fell into line
rs thoy did in 1861, and are closing up
their ranks and putting themselves in
fighting trim for tho struggle of 1880.
The party is in full accord with the
President, who has shown himself true
and plucky patriot. He has tho hearty
and united support and sympathy of his
party, and in all this there is strength
which cannot BIO ignored by those who
rule in Congress. With Republican
chief executive "on deck" who has
shown himself true to his party and
country, We may be assured that the
Confederates cannot obtain cntiro con-
troll of the government machinery, and
that We are comparatively safe until
1880, when new order of things will
superveno.
