Farewell of plain-spoken pastor:
Clearly beloved, our parting does not
seem hard to me for three reasons: You
do not love me, you do not love each
other, and the Lord does not love you.
If you had loved me you would have
paid me for my services during the
past two years; you do not love each
other, otherwise | should have had
more marriages to celebrate, and the
Lord does not love you, for otherwise
he would call more of you to him, and
| should have more foueral services to
conduct.
There have lately been placed upon
the market several cheap reprints OF an
obsolete edition of "Webster's Diction-
ary." These books are given various
names, "Webster's Unabridged, " "The
Great Webster s Dictionary, ""Webster' $
Big Dictionary, ""Webster' Encyclope-
die Dictionary" Many announcements
concerning them are misleading. The
Webster reprint portion of each from 4
to u is the same, -forty-fOur years behind
the times, and printed from the plates
made ny photographing the old pages.
The old book has been padded out
by various additions culled from various
sources, but the body is the same that
was published when Polk was president
and duly buried ut the incoming of
Lincoln. The Webster, current from
Lincoln to Harrison, is the popular
copy righted Unabridged" which has
just been superseded by Webster's In
ternatiOnal Dictionary.-See advertise

Not having heard the cry of fire for
some time, in fact, not but once since
we received our new fire engine, the
people were beginning to feel quite
safe again, the town having experience
ed several serious fires during the past
few years, but on Sunday last, about
five O'Clock in the morning, the terrible
alarm arose once more, and it was soon
found that the two story frame build
ing belonging to A. GOheen, used as a
furniture store, was in flames, and 1t
seemed nearly destroyed before but
few were aware of the fact. Nothing was
saved, although every possible effort
was put forth 10y the large crowd which
soon gathered and by the iiremen. Inc
upper floor was used as q work room
and contained quantities 'Of shavings
and lumber. The lower floor was filled
with furniture and several organs Be-
hind the building and close to it was
the planning mill belonging to the firm
of Goheeh d Cavanaugh. The fire
originated in the building, although
how il was done was a mystery, rs there
had been no lire started under the
boiler for nearly week. The boiler
and cnjinc were found to he uninjured,
bat everything else was II total loss.
Messrs. GoheGG q Cavanaugh have the
fullest sympathy of the community, as
they are straightforward, honest bust
ness men and this loss means much to
them. The fact that there was no in
surance on the building or mill is an
other source from which they derive
sympathy from the people. The fire.
men gave efficient service in keeping
the adjacent buildings from taking fire.
