The Literary Society which was or
ganized at the Center last winter has
resumed its work for the present win
ter season. There are on the roll about
fifty members, and each one is putting
forth individual effort to make the So
ciety a grand success. No evening en-
tertainments can be more beneficial to
the community than q good lyceum,
and we see no reason why the roll of
members should not run up to more
THAI twice what it now is. The per-
formances consist of music, declama-
nations, essays aud debate. The So
ciety meets each Friday evening, aud
we earnestly urge all those in the
township who are interested in the
literary work to come and unite with
the Society. ~
Quite a pleasant surprise party took
place in our town on Wednesday eve

wedding, in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.

made the event more notable was the
age of the surprised couple, they being
over seventy. We are not informed in
regard to the number or kind Of pres
ents, hut we can say that all those
who were there spent an enjoyable
evening.
We understand that Mr.. G. B. Green

GRANT is credited with the follow

at Mentor between the triumvirs and
Gen. Garfield:
The reported bargain at Mentor is
not true. There was nothing said to
Garfield but that which was said in
the presence of a large number of peo-
pie, for there was no time while there
that we were not surrounded by a
crowd, and there was no private inter-
view sought or held. There was no
bargain whatever.
If Gen. Grant used this language he
told a deliberate falsehood. TCleve-

FrIgh tful Calamity.

The Insane Hospital OF Minnesota
q: St. Peters, caught fire in the north
west corner basement of the north
wing, apd before it could be got under
control, that part of the building was
in ruins. The loss is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000.
The origih Of the fire is unknown,
though it is located in the north wing
basement, which was destroyed.
A bulletin to the Pioneer Press from
st. Petars says the number of lives
lost by burning and freezing in the
insane asylum are variously estimated
at from 20 to so.
A special dated at 4 A. M, says;
"The scenes at the burning of the
south wing hospital were heartrend,
ing in the extreme. So appalling a
sight has rarely been witnessed, and
we trust may never be again. The
patients in the annex wing were
males. Many of them refused to
leave sthe building at all. They ran
up and down the halls. screaming and
crying, and acting like bedlamites.
They were, of course, those who could
not be cpsxed nor forced out of the
building, aud became unhappy vic
Tins OF the flames and were suffoca-
ted. -. 4-i

to contemplate and impossible TO de.
scribe. The poor dazed inmates of
the Asylum who had escaped the
flames were at large, half clothed, and
were TO be seen in all directions, fly
ing in wild fright from those attempt
ing TO save: them. Tho air was bitter
cold. with half naked bodies and
bleeding feet, were flying about, hid
ing in alleys and dark corners. Ikwas
q scene never TO be forgotten" ~.
A special from st. Peter at p. NJ,
says: 'o.4. ..i
at is still difficult to get at the par.
ticulars and names of those who per-
ished in this awful calamity. Doctor
Bartlett, of the Asylum, says there are
not more than twelve liyes lost. 1t is
probable as mauy more are hurt and
suffeaing from the bitter cold of last
night. Indeed. more people are be-
lieved hurt and dying from exposure
to the weather than from burns re-
ceived last night. Other people cay
as many as twenty insane people either
perished in tho flames or died on the
cold hills during the night. So many
of the patients have disappeared that
it cannot be told who are dead and
who ran away.

In 1878 the Democratic majority in
the lower house OF Congress forced
the reconciliation Of silver. This
furnished the panic-impoverished peO-
pie with money, and made the specie
payments demanded by their creditors

to that Democratic majority for this
benificent act by turning that majority
into a minority in the House, and put
