Last Wednesday fire was discovered in
Mr. kesling's residence, just in time to save
the buildings and its contents, by close
shave. Yesterday there was another alarm
| and we learn that in the last few weeks it has
been on fire five times. There must be some
miscreant with a spite against Mr.. K, and II
such Is the case, we suggest that it is mat
ter worth looking into.
| Judge Russell has just finished planting
shade trees on either side of the lane leading
from the main road to the cemetery. He
| also, at proper intervals, set out trees from
the cemetery to the entrance of his grounds,
| and in few years will have an avenue of
about half a mile in length as beautiful as
any in the Valley. For years we have urged
the planting OF shade trees, and it was begun
| In town long since; but is only lately that,
| in general way, the idea has been followed
out In the pleasantest places for them-on
the roads adjacent to and leading into town.
1t is true that, thirty years ago, row of trees
was planted on the old Cyrus Russell place
on the road leading to Fredericktown, and
to-day those trees are the delight of every
eye that rests upon them; but the example,
unfortunately, was not generally followed.
Little Freddie Delano had tooth pulled
8 months ago by dentist in Elmira, after
which he was in bed five weeks with high
fever. He then returned home and was able
to walk around, but his face was much
swollen, and matter ran from his mouth,
more or less, with occasional piece of bone
coming out, until about February, when it
healed up and q second swelling began. His
faSh nala oh To Sc
Louis last week, where he consulted DR..
Mudd, who said that the jaw had been frac-
tured in pulling the tooth, and that the dead
parts had separated, and new bone was
growing over the old. DIR. Mudd, assisted
by Drs. Hodgens and Stevens performed an
operation on last Thursday and took from
Freddie's jaw two pieces of bone IL inches
long and two teeth-confrmin the diagnosis.
He was placed under the influence of chloro-
form during the operation. He is now doing
well. The operation was done from the in
side of the mouth, and took about fifteen
minutes.
Last Sunday morning, at an early hour, the |
people who live near the creek in the yicini- |
ty of Judge Russel's farm, were startled by a
loud report, and few moments later, a |
young man, attracted by the noise passed by. |
He saw four or five Italians on the bank, and
another with his breeches rolled up to his |
knees, wading in the creek. A few minnows
and small perch were lying dead upon the
surface of the water, showing that the fishers
had been using dynamite. We suggest to the
Constable of Arcadia Township that, if he,
with two or three deputies, were to keep
watch on the streams about the Valley, some
of these fine spring Sunday mornings, he
might make capture that would be any
thing but "water-haul." The law ought
to teach these men that they cannot violate
its provisions with impunity. The Italians
used dynamite in fishing all last spring and
summer, but by reason Of the difficulty of
them, they escaped. The only
way to get at them is to catch them in the
act, and apprehend them right then and
there. In fact these men are guilty Of
double offence, for they must steal the dyna-
mite they use. The st. Louis Ore and Steel
is the only party that brings this
explosive to the Valley, and that corporation
does not and will not sell it.
