company Of capitalists from
Chicago, with the view Of secur-
J ing i plant for the packing and
marketing o her cloven-footed
/ porklings. 1t seems that a
member Of this company Had
recommended to his fellow direc
tors that the packing house

Consequently her blithsome
spirit, thus suddenly relieved Of
I its distressing and perplexing
anxiety, wac lulled by a false
sense of security.
This was last Friday evening
The day was clear and balmy.
/ Not a cloud obscured the blue
sky, nor a piping zephyr stirred
the air. All nature wore calm
and pacific aspect, and nothing
betokened the dreadful catastro-
phe SO close at hand. AS old
Sol fell away behind the snow
crowned mountains, he cast a
lingering ray athwart the lovely
Camas Prairie, and laved the
distant neaks in a flood of golden
glory. Fair Lura, queen Of the
midnight heavens, threw her
silver beams Ger all the sleeping
world, while Venus. the beautiful
evening star, added her soft and
lambent radiance to the weird
nocturnal scene. Suddenly a
faint gleam was discovered in the
west The glimmering taper
grew brighter and brighter and
soon became a dazzling glare,
: which, with its effulgence,
!, lit up the whole Western side Of
! the.prairie,and Craig's mountain.
: The distant boom of anyils was
: waited from the direction OF Cot
e tonwood Butte, and by the cid
of TIL bonire's brilliant illumi-
: ination, Old Glory, the stars and
stripes, was seen streaming from
S the pinnacle of Cottonwood's flag
: pole.
\ Poor old Grangeville, with
S apprehension written on her

office and called up Cottonwood
