ANOTHER FIRE.
Mrs Hiram Eddy's Farm Barns De
 sfroved.

Mrs Hiram Eddy's Farm Barns De-
 stroyed.
 On Saturday evening last, about half past six, the fagman at the P. R. X N. E. railroad crossing discovered flames bursting out of the southwest corner of the shed which joined Mrs Hiram Eddy's farm barns on the southwest He at once gave the alarm and a large force of men and boys hurried to the scene of the fire. There was . strong wind blowing the flames toward the other sheds and barns and the fire spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save the buildings, that is to say the two other sheds and two barns all stand ing connected.
 Although the barns and stables were so filled with dense smoke that 1t was almost impossible to zee or breathe in them number of men went in bravely and released the two horses and 12 COWS. Among those who distinguished them selves in this way were Messrs W. N. Rogers, Daniel Connolly. Charles Nick erson, M- L. Osborne and William En- mons. H B. Mcfarland, J. G. Beckley, Frank Hitchcock, and some of the scholars of the Canaan Academy also rendered good service in saving SOW and her interesting progeny and pre- venting the destruction of the smaller buildings south of the barns. James H. Drake, G. Willis Parsons, Frank F. Stevens, Watson Hardenbergh, Theophile Toussaint and large num- Der of boys kept the roofs of the tenant house buildings, occupied by MT Os- borne and his family, we'll saturated with water brought in pails from the brook near by. This was made necessary by the thick shower of large flakes of burning wood which was constantly falling on the roofs The hose cart was taken to the fire but proved useless as the nearest hydrant was at the Ca naan Academy much further than the hose would have reached, and besides the hydrant could not be opened be. cause the wrench was broken in the attempt In mentioning the names of the above we do rot by any means wish to be understood as implying that they were the only ones who did good service, ss there were many more who did all that could be done.
 Ts~ property destroyed, besides the kaildings, consists of one COW. so badly burned that it had to be killed. four yearlings. one calf. two hogs. 25 or 28 tons of hay. several tons of rye and oat straw, the corn stalks grown on six acres. a flaming mill, three harnesses, one piano tan heir loom,) dogpower, s5 bushels of oats and 15 bushels seed rye (the rest of the grain was saved) and lot of small farming tools. Mir Osborne owned half of the live stock and half of the farm produce. The COW which was killed belonged to Mir s. A. Eddy.
 The insurance has not been made public.
 Shelter has been found for all the live stock. the COWS having been placed in Rev F. Thompson's barn.

The Stream of Life.

Like q small streamlet on a mountain side,
A white thread glancing in the summer sun,
Lightly down leaping with joyous spring,
So passes happy childhood's playful hour.
Next, through green dells and meath o'ershad-
owing crags
The growing stream with needless flow winds
on;
Now gladly lingering round some glowing isle
That smiles with heavenly beauty and allures
With promises of perpetual delights;
Now tiercely dashing down some rough cas-
cade,
Where rushing waters split on hostile rocks,
Spouting aloft the iridescent spray
Qrifted in sunless clefts by swaying winds.
So pass the years Of youth. Our ripper age
Is like the broadened rivers stately march,
Whose current slackens, yet admits no pause,
But passes field and coppice, tower and town,
Not wholly 'scaping from defling stains,
Yet toiling onward restlessly. Adown
Its smooth yet ever sliding stream we haste,
Nor mark the progress Of its quiet speed,
Till, faster rushing as 1t nears the end,
It sweeps us onward in resistless course
Through the torn rapids Of disease and pain,
Till, plunging down the cataract of death,
We glide into vast and unknown space
The boundless ocean Of eternity.

tember S-15, 1884.
Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
tion that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September and s, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
September 8 and from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month so that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of the encampment.
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. X. tickets for return from its
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept 25 for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. 30 for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members of the g. A.
r., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. 1t tries to please its patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,
added to the lowest rates authorized
from Chicago and st. Louis, which
makes a rate of $5105 via Chicago and
1855 via st. Louis to Pittsburg and re-
turn. Call on agent Of A., L. j. s. Il. rail
road for particulars.

A Waste of Time.


You can lead horse to water, but you cannot
make him drink;
You can send fool to college, but you cannot
make him think;
You may keep your daughter strumming from
morn till afternoon,
But you can't make her q player If she hasn't
any tune.
You can never make farmer of boy who
loves the sea,
Though you may make him plow and plant and
whoa and haw and gee.
It's no use to swear and bluster because your
only son
Prefers the girl he met In the car to your Sc
lected one;
You might as we'll switch off that track, for
love is lord Of pelf,
And besides It's more than likely that you know
how it's yourself.
You cannot change the ROSTERS strut nor make
the layers crow,
Though you may honestly believe 1t would be
better so.
You cannot make parson Of the stagestruck
Romeo lad,
And If you ever do succeed you'll wish you
never had.
There is only one thing meaner, and that's to
have to SEQ
The name Of your neighbor's numskull finished
with M. D.
But all these things. and more besides, we may
expect to bear,
Until the numskull kills us and the Romeo says
the prayer.

In the Depths Of Misery

Though endowed with wealth "beyond
the dreams of avarice," the wretched suf-

Invoke the aid of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters and he departs. Keep using the
medicine, and the relief you promptly ex-
perience finally becomes permanent and
thorough cure is effected. Heartburn,
tatulence, uneasiness and sinking at the
pit of the stomach, nervousness, insom-
nia-these are symptoms first relieved
and finally cured, with their cause, by
this ineffably reliable specific. Liver
complaint and constipation, brother tor
mentors of dyspepsia, are also sent to

Grand Canon OF Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.

is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem

GEMS IN VERSE.
A Listening Bird,

A little bird sat ON an apple tree,
And he was as hoarse as hoarse could be;
He pruned, and he prinked, and he rufi1ed his
threat.
But from 1t there fioated no silvery note.
mot song can sing, sighed he, sighed he;
Mot a song can sing" sighed he.
In tremulous showers the apple tree shed
Its pink and white blossoms on his head;
The gay sun shone, and, like jubilant words.
He heard the gay song Of a thousand birds.
IAN the others can sing" he doleful1y said;
"Au the others can sing" he said.
So he sat, and he dropped. But as far and wide
The music was borne ON the airs warm tide
A sudden thought came to the sad little bird,
And he lifted his head as within him 1t stirred.
IF cannot sing can listen" he cried;
''Hol ho! can listen!' he cried.

night q skunk found its way under the

The officers all walked up but being gen

were still asleep they all kept silent. At
last one of the privates, German, could
restrain himself no longer.

A Miracle of Love.

knew man who seemed a soulless thing,
A hopeless plodder in a dreary way,
Careful in nothing, save that day by day
His humble task its small reward might bring.
His world was girdled by narrow ring
OF common duties, knowing not the sway
OF pains and pleasures moving finer clay.
So dull content reigned as his chosen king.
But one day Love came knocking at his heart,
With mighty passion, fearing not defeat,
And, like man awakened out Of sleep,
He felt new life through all his being start
A noble impulse, new, and strangely SWEET
And walked where stars in mighty orbits
sweep.
