Oh Monday nighttlIe people OF Tustin

and promptly rushed TO battle with the
devvuring element. ltiwas discovered

already red hot inside, and IL spread
rapidlyj until the fine residence adjoin-
the store aud all attached outbuildinas
were one mass of surging flame. so
sudden was 1t that but little WAS saved
from Capt. Oisen's premises, aud the
men had to work like heroes to prevent
the barn from burning. Tie efforts of
the citizens were next directed towards
saving the goods In the depot, which
took fire, as the wind blew from the
east. The depot burned down, hut the
contents were mostly saved. There
Was about Sl75 In money in the store,
and from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of
goods. The house and store building
were worth about $1,000. There was
Hn Insurance of So, 0UO OH buildings and
stock. The loss to the II. X. Co., is
about 500. It's u great calamity for
Tustin, as Capt. Olsen had fitted up his
residence and store In good taste, and
they were an ornament to the village
The depot was not a first-class building,
but Was built of rough lumber, and, we
believe had stood there since the town
was first settled. - Oseeota Outline, Ma.

AGRIsT MILI. AT BALDwIN.-The
much desired and needed Improve
ment for Baldwin--a first-class grist-
mills now assured.
w. II. DeI4amater, OF Charlotte, a
man Of experiene in tho milling busi-
ness, and also, . man Of energy and
l"push, J" some time since purchased the
north half of the northwest quarter
section 2, this township; with a view of
erecting q grist-mill. His other prop
erty being tied up as 1t were, he was
unable to carry out his plans here ut
once; but now having disposed OF his
property ut Charlotte, he is about to
remove here; and put up the mill.
Work will probably commence about
the first of May, and be completed, or
at least in running order by about the
first Of August. Mr.. ID. win build with
view of having four run OF stone; but
will probably put In two at the start,
as all that.will be necessary. The mo-
tive pover will he by water from. the
branch of the Pere Marquette river,
and the structure will be erected south
of and not far from the railroad bridge.
The wheel will be u turbine, and the
expected cost of the mill about $4,000:
A first-class grist mill is thing the
need of which is being felt more and
more each year by scope of country
for IL tolls or even % miles about
Baldwin. We believe Mr.. DeLamater
is the man to give us what we want in
this line, and the citizens should rem
der him all the assistance they can.
possibly afford in carrying out this en-
terprise which tends so largely to the
development and welfare of the coun1
try. Our farmers can take fresh en-
couragcment to raise grsin, as in the
end, if not at once, they will doubtless
find ready market for all they can

Rev. c. c. McCabe of Chicago, delivered
his very able and interesting lecture, ''The
Church and the Republic" at the Methodist
church last evening. Despite the sharp
and biting air there was a very good atten-
dance. Before delivering the lecture he sang
two sweet pieces entitled ''The Grand Amen"
and the "Deautiful Hand" He called to mind
many events in the history Of the rebellion,
said that while the people at the North were
educating the minds of the young in the prin-
ciples of loyalty and christianity, the doc
trines of disloyalty and iniquity were being
disseminated at the South. He gave some
interesting statistics of the amount of work
being done by the Methodist church in the
South. At the close he sang a number of
sweet songs, accompanied by music from the
organ.

Fight in a Church.

PIrTsBuRG, December 90. A fight occurred
Yesterday in the Presbyterian church, between
factions favoring different ministers. One
minister attempted to go into the pulpit when
another minister attacked him. A general
fight ensued, extending throughout the whole
congregation. For a quarter of an hour the
battle ragged furiously. Heads were punched
eyes BACKED, arms broken, and women
knocked down.
The police were called and after some diff
ticulty succeeded in quellng the riot Severa
arrests were made. The church this morning
presents sorry appearance. Pews are
broken; remnants of glass globes strew thu
fioor hymn books and bibles are scattered il
all directions. The matter will be Investigate
ed by the Presbytery.

Art Reception mt HalloweII.

An art reception was held at the residence
of james II. Iei,a Esq, Thursday afternoon
and evening. at which times the ladies and
gentlemen of Hallowell awaited themselves
of the opportunity of viewing the works Of
art, accomplished by their talented sons and
daughters for the past two years. About two
hundred invitations were given out, and we
should Judge from the number present, both
day and evening, that every invitation had
been accepted. Mr.. and Mrs. Leigh very
kindly threw open their cosy and comfortable
house for the use of the young people and
the charming and accomplished committee OF
young ladies', who had charge of the recep-
ton. did all in their power to make each visit
or's STAY as pleasant and instructive as posi-
bic. We have no space to give such de-
scripton as the entertainment deserves, and
can only mention a few of The many rare
things that were placed on exhibition.
Perhaps the largest display of pictures, were
made by Mr.. A. G. Currier, the genial
draughtsman at the Granite works. He had
several handsome paintings of great merit,
showing that he is master of the brush, as
well as of the rule. Mr.. Alexander Doyle,
the sculptor, also in the employ of the Gran
