, About fifteen minutes before nine,
tonight, an alarm of fire was sounded,
caused by blaze in Hollberg's stable, a
: short distance away from the engine
house. The fire was easily put out before
the engine began to throw water. Short
: ly after the engine was put away there
was another alarm, and tremendous
blaze was seen coming from the stable of
the Valley House. This fire had evident
ly been started in the hay in the NOW,
and was soon seething mass of smoke
and flame, the cinders flying for several
hundred yards There were two horses
in the stable. Charley Trago let these out,
but one of them ran back, and was with
some difficulty gotten out There was
nothing lost but the hay, and a portion of
the stable. The engine put out the fire in
very few minutes after getting to work. |

business house tonight, the proprietor
called out, "well, here comes the city edit
or, you may get some items here" Taking
him at his word, we sat down and listen
ed A gentleman who is capital hand
at telling an anecdote was talking. Said
he: "This man, -, was describing, in a
sermon, a certain kind of person, and re-
marked, with some vehemence, when /
find such a man, feel like snatching him
bald-headed,' at the same time illustrating
the point by laying his hand upon the
head of minister who sat next to him
in the pulpit. 1t chanced that this min
lister wore wig, and the speaker carried
out his point literally by snatching him
bald-headed." Another item: A man
had been allowed by friend to take and
use cow for time, and was so pleased
that he drove the cow home on Sunday.
Some of the brethren in the Church made
great disturbance about it, and the Bish-
op referred to it in a sermon. "Why, said
he, under such circumstances, / would
have driven cow across the corner of
Heaven Another minister, in preaching
xyb bioh odo ho or |
ry applicable, thought he would embellish
the Bishops remark and adopt it as his
own. Said he: "Why, under such circum-
stances, would drive COW across the
corner of Heaven-in fly time" We left
that business house, feeling that we had
picked up two items too good to be lost.

..... Several boys went fishing-goo

stables burned last night. Maple ]

Eggs plenty at 15c. a dozen. The
news to-day is to the effect that Gen.
Grant is in no danger of immediate death,
but that his affliction is a cancer, beyond {
doubt. Judging by observations of many
cases of cancer in this neighborhood, it
would have been far better for the Gen
eral to have gone when so near death.
And while Jackson has had many cases
of horrible sufferings from cancer, the
only physician whom we ever knew to
actually cure cancer, was Jackson
physician The friends of Theodore {
Grose, the jolly plasterer, are jubilant
over a fine blooded colt of which he is the
owner. 1t is called "the COpper-bottomed
Morgan RATHER" and is said to possess
the admirable quality Of combining three
gaits-trot, pace and gallop-aU in one.
Some of the friends suggest that he {
would make an excellent sand-sifter, as !
the sand might be placed upon his back,
and when travelling around the mortar
box the natural motion would shake it
through the sitter. His gate" is 2:10- ,
but he can never run through it without
breaking all of his legs on the posts.
