sey. The fire originated in the stable.
No one living in the house for some
weeks, Mr.. R. having moved out on his
farm in Liberty township. Men with
buckets succeeded in keeping the flames
off of the dwelling until the engine ar
rived, when the fire was soon eXtinguish-
ed The stable and coal house were
| burned. The fire-engine was long time
getting to the fire, as it had to be pulled
by hand. 1t was pretty generally inquired
by those present what the new engine

the engine. James FarrePs child

SUNDAY.-Rev. Hopkins of the Pres

A very enjoyable time was had to-day at

bath School to-day. j. S. Baker took
his wife, his sister Mrs. Martin, and Mrs.
Grassland, in a carriage to the Dever
dedication to-day. -. John. l.. Ramsey
came in to-day to see where his stable
had been. The pile of rubbish is still
smoking. ..... Rev. F. S. Davis delivered
a sermon of special interest to-day, on
the subject of Gods Dominion. The ar
gument was that He rules all things
even in the affairs of wicked men, and

MoNDAY.-The Jackson crowd who at
tended the dedication at Dever's return
ed to-day. They have promised US some
notes of their trip for our next issue.
The fire company were out to-day fill
ing the cisterns. We are glad to learn
that the engine horses will hereafter be
used for pulling the engine, and will be
Kept where they can be gotten quickly in
case of fire. At the Ramsey fire on Sat-
urday night the boys stood with one
horse hitched to the engine for long
time waiting for the other horse, then
had to pull the engine by hand. All
manner of business men are enjoying a
slight relief from the burdens of trade
they are doing fairly, but not so well as
they will after harvest is over, and people
come in oftener. 80. Officer Owens has
practically broken up the "Old Mrs. Grif- |
fiths" den on Bridge Street. One of the |
inmates of the den came back few days |
ago, and Owens promptly arrested and
imprisoned her, and secured solemn
promise that she would leave, before dis
her. This is good work. Now
let the fellows who have been staggering |
around the streets drunk for some time,
be little careful, or Bill will make it as
hot for them. These fellows presume
upon the kind-heartednes of the officers

them will get sadly fooled one of these
days.
TUEsDAY.-A large coach dog, belong
ing to VIM. Jones, in Kahn's Addition
displayed an ugly temper this morning,
and severely bit a little daughter of VIM.
D. Davis. Word was sent to Marshal
Owens, and he and Standard reporter
started ON the mad-dog hunt, pressing
into service the buggy of Mr.. W. H.
Steele. The game was found in the back
yard of Mr.. Jones' residence, and was as
surly looking piece of dog flesh as one
would care to look at. The fact that he
was drinking water freely was against
the theory of rabies, but after looking at
the wound made upon the child, the Mar
shall concluded that the animal ought to
be killed anyhow. The good lady of the
house thought so too, but was evidently
afraid the Marshal might miss the dog
and hit somebody. But she coaxed the
animal around the house where Owens
could see him fairly, when he settled all
hydrophobic questions by load of bird
shot. There are too many dogs in this
town by at least hundred.
