From Bellevlew.

BELLEvIEw, Mo-, Jan. 10th, 1880.
Owing to the mud, I have not gath
cred any items lately, but viii try and
send you few now.
Weather is generally good, notwith-
standing the wet spell.
Our roads are, in many places, i'm
passible; and if one takes to the woods
he is apt to get swamped.
I hear quite a general complaint
among those who have lately killed
their hogs. Some say they are bound
to lose more or less of their pork. John
McHenry, Esq, and DR.. Haley killed
twenty-three hogs about two weeks
ago, and 1 fear some one will be the
loser-5ut as McHenry owned twenty
two of them, the Doctor cannot lose
very much.
Great changes have lately taken
place in Belleview-especially among
mechanics. Three of our blacksmiths,
I understand, have taken in partners.
I hope they will all do well; though
they have great opposition, as every
man wants to be his own smith.
Our assistant miller-after getting
hold Of an old almanac, and sleeping
with it under his head-dreamed that
if he would put the almanac i'm tub Of
water and temper his picks in the same,
he would not have to go to blacksmith
any more. He Gays the dream proved
true.
understand that our United States
mail carrier, who takes the mail from
Belleview to Iron Mountain, is going
to quit carrying the mail, and is going
to start factory I'm Bellview.
Our old friend, Joseph A. Reyburn,
Esq, is in town. He is travelling for
some boot and shoe house in st. Louis.
fear he will stick in the mud and wish
for some aerial way Of travelling.
Some Of the farmers have taken ad-
vantage of the town folks and raised
the price of wood-I suppose on account
of the condition of the road.
A party was given last Friday night
by Mr.. N. Warren. Though your hum
BILE servant was not present, am told
everything went on agreeably.

An explosion occurred at the Lycett

the 2lst inst. About eighty persons
were in the pit at the time, and scarce
'ly a dozen out of that number were
saved. The explosion is attributed to
the gaseous nature of the coal seam,-
