The house of R. G. Stensinp, of White

father and mother, past four score years,
escaped to the barn. Neighbors are con

value was saved from the house. Hon.
o. N. Barsness died at his home in Bars

to day. He was quite successful farmer,
and possessed many noble qualities that
won him many friends. Like too many
otherwise noble men, lie was his own
worst enemy at times, not as frequently as
SOME that still live. II Is supposed that
this hastcned his death. He will be
missed by large circle of friends and

On Tuesday, March 14th the people OF
Morris will be called upon to select from
their mum Der five of their representative
citizens, in whose hands, as councillors,
the affair of the village will be placed for
the ensuing year While the choice of q
president and council may appear to many
rs a matter of small moment, yet to those
who have the best interests of the village
AT heart, the question of suitable selec.
ton is one which demands important con-
sideration and deliberate action, so that
judicious selections may be made. We
make our own choice of q council, who
are given full. COL troll of public affairs; and
hence at this critical period in the devel-
opment of our embryo city. it is very
important question to decide as to who
are the few who will administer the affairs
of the many. The future of Morris de-
ponds largely upon her public officials,
and hence we must see to it that those in
whose hands this important trust is placed
will be those whose interests are identified
with the progress of the village, those who
will look not only to present wants but
future needs, those who have that enter
prising and progressing spirit which tends
to advancement, those who have character
and principle, and those in whose judg-
ment all may confide. 1t can readily be
seen that from this standpoint it will be
extremely difficult to find council, the
members of which shall possess these rare
yet essential qualifications, not SO much
because there may be but few from whom
to Sc ect, but because the majority of those
who should be at the head and in charge
of our affairs will very probably desire to
be excused from serving. The duties and
responsibilities of the position are many
and important, and the task frequently a
thankless one, yet withal this should af-
ford no excuse for not accepting the posi-
ton. Some one must serve, and it is nee.
essary and best that these who do should
be our leading citizens. men of experience
and integrity, possessing that keen push.
snap and vim, which will, when tempered
with caution and judgment, alone guard
and advance our united interests. The
majority of people, irrespective of party
ties, which happily as yet plays no part in
village politics, desire undoubtedly to see

time, in the hands of Its leading. RESPONSE

The nomination by the president of
Roscoe Conkling to the vacancy on the
supreme bench was a genuine surprise.
From the intimate relations said to exist
between the ex senator and President
Arthur it is generally supposed that the
nomination was made after consultation
with Mr.. Conkling, and with his knowl-
edge and consent. The appointment is an
excellent one in many respects as the ap
poiutee is eminently qualified, and will do
honor to the high position; and while he
may not be deserving of recognition by
the republican party, yet it will be such a
golden opportunity to rid the party of a
dangerous "bess," that in the event of his
acceptance, the administration will doubt
less eagerly seize the opportunity to elevate
my lord Roscoe to the bench, and thank
President Arthur for the chance afforded
them for doing SO in such an admirable
