Rural Happe nings.

SENECA, April lG--Sincc our last writing
much excitement has prevailed in oar village
Probably the saddcst and MOS, terrible day
ever chroniClcd in the ANIMAL, OF Seneca, was
the Goth of March. 1t is needless to speak OF
'he havoc made by the ilrc-iiend on that day
but the memory OF it will scarcely perish in
many yeats. Undcrhill'r fine hall having ial
zen victim 10 the flames, the T. r. c. gladly
accepted the offer OF the v, T.. Church rs Il
place Of meeting, and on the day after the fire
J. Il. Murphy Of Joliet addressed II very large
audience ON the subject ot Hrc,Se. MIR. NJ
.t!r0yy speaks well, but ON thai day he cNcclcd
any of his previous effort, in this place.
On the evening Of the 9Th inst. and the fol
owing afternoon and evening McsSrS. BlanCh
ard and Davis, Of La Sale, made powerful ap
peals To- both the hearts and intcllccts of oul
people, in behalf orprohibtion. Last Friday
evening, upon very short notice the house was
- completely filled for the purpose Of hearing
Wo0dtOfd. That gentleman gave us one OF
.he finest lectures we have ever listcAcd to in
lhis place, and we have no doubt that his logic
,s well Is hi, eloquencc had powerful effect
On many.
The speakers on last Sunday were Mrssrs
sum and licthgrington, of La Sale, and Mr.

he general theme 1t being so near election
time, every argument at the command of the
lhrcc speakers, was brought 10 bear against the
rctail traffic in liquors. Mr. Gum intlmated
that he had been called from the pillow" We
know nothing Of his fitness for following tina,

service IN the cause, he may like CInclnnatus

IN Sunday evening WAS grund We hope his
couniryinon are proud Of him they snght tc

Tuesday, the 10Th was "A day of intense cX
-ltemcnt il being the day of our municipal
election. From all we have heard of the edo
lngs," We think there is no day in the wear

among the voters. Late on Tuesday evening
the boomiag of cannon startled us out of Il
7"ry comfortable nap. We thought that Su
pervISor Robinsons prediction of an "cyc.op
cner" was verified We soon learned the re
suit. The high license board was elected
which we consider quite an achievement iol

On Wednesday last, between and . p. IA, the
barn Of Mrs. Hammond, in the 9th ward, took
fire and burned rapidly, high northeast wind
blowing, the lire spread to the west, burning the
barn of William Llwlcss, and the cOal.Shcd ana

The bucket brigade was promptly on hand and
by energetic work saved the barn Of Mr. I. l..
Macknlay Just south Of the Hammond barn.
The fire department responded promptly, and
though required to lay over 1000 feet OF hose,
threw water on the fire in just eleven Iainutes
from the first alarm Of the BELL the water being
procured from Robert Strawn's fountain ponds
The loss is from three to four hundred dollars on
barns and contcnts-chieiiy hay and small
quantity of furniture in Mrs. Eammond's. The

Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, April i, 1879.
a rather quiet set of markets was experienced
on yesterday. In wheat, corn and proyi sons
speculation was at times fair, yet the trading was
under an average, and the days business was
somewhat smaller than on the preceding days OF
the week. Operators seemed to be disposed to
act with considerable caution, though the mark
cts were by no means weak, and prices on the
leading articles rather averaged better than on
Wednesday. The closing quotations on last ev-

The daily gazette., 1879-11-25

THE Republican newspapers escape
some of the animosities that disturb the
rank and file of their own party by con
tinually looking up candidates for the
Presidency for The Democrats and dis
cussing their fitness to be nominated by
the Democratic National Convention.
If the Democratic candidate was cert ain
to be elected our opponents could not
evince more anxiety about our choice.
Perhaps this is The case but if so Demo
cratic newspapers don't seem to know
1t. AT all events we think it would be
as well if the Independents and Re-
publicans who do not mean to support
the choice of the Democratic party in
any event would attend little more TO
their own affairs. Whether Blaine
or Sherman should be pushed off to
make way for third term for Grant,
might be discussed by our radical friends
with more advantage to their readers
The Democrats desire to make their OWL
selection without quite so much outside
interference.
The daily gazette., 1879-11-25

The Baltimore Gdzette takes a very
proper view of the matter referred to III
the improbable rumor set ahoat by the
New York Sur. now current in Philadel-
phia that Mr.. G. w. Childs proposes to
pay the whole expense Of the Grant re-
ception in that city, the estimated cost of
which is $4,000, but we respectfully
submit that even if il were true it is no
body's business but Mr.. Childs'. 1t is to
be presumed that in the event of his do
Ing such foolish thing, which no one
seriously believes, he would do it with
his own money, all of which he honestly
earned and the whole of which lie is sup
posed to have the right to spend precise
ly as he pleases. 1t would certainly be
more satisfactory to have Mr.. Childs
meet the expenses of the Grant show
than have the tomfoolery or any part of
1t paid for by the Taxpayers of Philadel-
phia. As much privilege as the news
papers seem to have in this country to
pry into the affairs of their neighbors,
there are, however, some things which
this highly-privileged class have no right
to NEEDLE with aud the way a private
citizen spends his money is one of them
