RON TIE TURN ON THE LINE.

Our canning factory has ceased active
operations. The season has not been,
successful either'to the proprie,ors or
TO the employed. 1t is believel that
the 6rm lost over $1,000 by the severe
frost of nearly two weeks since. They
canned nothing but tomatoes. Could
get no fruit.
Several destructive fires have been
raging during the past few months.
One has been burning since harvest
and is still burning. Much valuable
timber and fencing have been destroy.
ed, and the soil even, much OF which Is
a vegetable deposit, has been burnt to
ashes, and cannot now he cultivated.
The probabilities are that unless some
rainfalls come, these terrible fires vii.
burn for months to come, aud Will add
much TO the large amount ot damage
already done. Some OF these fires are
the result of carelessuess Oh she part OF
night hunters.
Rev. Thomas Harwood, A N. the su
perintendeut oi Methodist Episcopa!
missions in New Mexico, has been on
brief visit to this place and vicinity tor
the past few days. Years ago when a.
young man he went to the West and
did much effective work in ore OF those
Conferences. When the war began MI
liarwool resigned his charge and en.
listed as a private, and was finally pro
NOTED to the chaplaincy. After the
war ii. again returned 10 the pulpit;
and now for twelve years has most 't'
| teutiyeiy servet his church rs supp ln-
tenaeut o! her mis~ioH work III New
Mexico. He preached two good SER
mons for us while here, and gave aslu-
! formation concerning his field, III. Gus
toms ard manners of his people, the re.
crliarities OF the sol and its meagre
produces, the tace OF the country aud
many other things we knew not before,
The doctrine of reer!bution has been
| frrcibiy illustrated in our commu my
during the few months jnst gone by
| lu mid spring % crowd Of wortdhnGs
| took it upon themselves tn tle iuto the
village church On the occasion Of the re
organization Of the Sunday Schuoi, and
demand voice in the matter. Seine
ut them even went So far as 20 swear
that they would fcorganize or sink tAe
church into reIdition. OF course the
clearly defined method for this was
laid down in the discipline o. the
church, Insisted upon as it WAS 10y the
cautious bnt determined ma4ner of the
pastor, soon shut out all interference on
, ihe part of these "lewd fellows OF III"
baser sort" But they swore vengeance
against every one who assisted III 'be
lsuby .rsion Of their nctaripuS Scheines,
and began a systematic course @! ntrse-
cution and general abuse. Even goins
so far as TO assault the parsonage in
the absence of the pastor, and anuHlhg
his wife and children, aud making a
! ,, nrleroHs assault with open knife.
