What the Surveyor Missed.

A surveyor who was running township lines
in new county in this state last fall Was en-
gagged by a farmer to survey the line between
his farm and that OF neighbor They had a
line fence but had engaged IN several disputes
as to whether it was on the divide. The sur
veyor was making preparations when the own
or of the other farm approached and inquired ::
"What are you going to do now"
Find the exact line" WAS the reply.
At this the man wheeled ana went of on
the gallop, and he was seen no more until the
line had been run. The surveyor and the first
named farmer had just completed the work
when the other came up to within about ten
feet of them and asked
"Well have you got through
ayes; all through
"And Is the fence foot on his farm?'
mo; he has two feet of yours, and the fence
must be moved so that you can have 1T
The man sDrang upon stump, faced a
thlcket about five rods away, and yelled out:
"You there-Reuben and James and Sam
uel! The survey is made and We are all right.
You kin shoulder them shotguns and go back
to the sawmlll, and /! you meet the old woman
coming with the pitch fork, you kin tell her
to turn back and git up squar' dinner for the

On Sunday last, Mr.. Isaac Brants house
and portion of his household goods, were
completely destroyed by fire. Among
other articles of value burned was $50 In
money. 1t seems the building consisted
of two separate structures with an inter-
vening space of several inches, but enclos-
ed in solid wall giving it the appearance
of one building. On the day of the unfor-
tunate occurrence fire was placed in the
parlor stove and some of the sparks escap>
ing from defective chimney, dropped be-
tween the two buildings, igniting dry ma
terial. Smoke filled the room but
the burning point could not be discovered
until it had gotten such start it could not,
with the means at hand, be extinguished,
and the building was soon enveleped in
flames. Mrs. Brandt was considerably
burned in her efforts to save part, of the
goods We have been unable TO learn the
amount of the damage. There was $500
insurance on the house.
