Bisbee has sold the most Of his stock. His loss
by his fire was not quite as heavy as was reported
in the WArcHMANl st week The household fur

helped get the corn out of the granary think the
amount burned would not equal fifty bushels.
About seventy-fve bushels of oats were saved ;
a large part of the two hundred bushels OF boets
and turnips, II not all, were saved and the
farming tools most all saved. That man who fell

GRoToS.--Our town has been highly favored
for the past few weeks. man from Woodsville
New Hampshire, has driven into our village and
pretends to sell fresh fish and oysters, Of which
he has small supply, but his real object is to
sell poor whiskey. He knows his customers, and
when he is dealing out his fish he can also fill
bottle, as he has "a measure and tunnel all handy.
This kind of visits are made on Saturday, or at
least they have been for the past few weeks.
This man is usually well patronized, and has a
good trade while he stops in our place. Men and
boys trade with him and pay cash whose toes
protrude through their boots and also wear very
shabby clothes This team and its customers are
well known to the authorities Of this town. We
are not afraid to make the statement that II this
thing is tried ON again, arrests will be made.

SOME time before the war, when the overland
routes were first established over the " Southern
deserts -" along the line which the Southern Pa
cific is now following, camels were imported from
Turkey in the hope that they would prove of use
over the waterless plains. The camel, however,
with his two miles an hour proved too slow a
beast for the average American, other difficulties
sprang up and the herd was turned loose. Since
then 1t has increased and multiplied, race o
wild calnels has been added to the sparse fauna Of
Arizona, and teansters along the ella river, the
main route of the territory, complain that the
roads are Infested with herds OF wild camels scar
ing horses and interfering with travel

MARsHFiELD.-The excursion this week has
taken a number of our young people the
" Hub" to see the elephant as well as visit
their friends -. The Universalists have built an
addition to their vestry in which they have put
stage for the of their society. We are glad
to see the pleasant face of l.. d. Mute back again
in his old quarters at the depot, where here are
lively times, especially Mondays. Mr.. d. NJ.
Pike met with an accident by riding down hill
without any hodbacks on his harness. and by the
time he gets over his lame back and has new
axletree in his wagon 1t will be time Of year to
ride in sleigh. 1t is remarkable how the ad-
vance on butter and produce has shortened up
the faces of the farmers in this vicinity.
