During the last term Of the Windham
county court at Newfane the report was
given out that the case of the Racine Fire
Engine company, W. II. Banfl agent,
against E. S. Munger, G. S. Foster and
William Robertson, q committee repre-
senting the citizens of the town of Putney,
had been settled, the company agreeing to
take back the fire engine and other appar-
atus. To all intents and purposes the re-
port was true but there has since bobbed
up new phase in the case which may
prolong the actual settlement of the case
for some time yet. A part of the agree
ment made at Newfane was that DR..
Munger should ship to the company from
Putney the two storage barrels and the 90
foot length of hose which had never been
used and which we're stored in E. E.
Blood's stable. When DR.. Munger went
for the apparatus the hose was being used
for washing carriages or for some similar
purpose. 1t had evidently been put to
that use as being of small value for any
thing else. Mr.. Blood thought he ought
to have the hose to pay for storing the
barrels, and when informed that 1t cost $40
he still held to that opinion, although the
barrels had been in the barn less than q
year. The hose had then become second
hand so that DR.. Munger could not full
ill his part of the agreement. Mr.. Banfil
was informed Of the condition Of things
and he will probably make out 3 bill
against Mr.. Blood for the price of the
hose. 1t is impossible to state what pro
ceedings will then take place.

Right
Away,
Now!
Very soon your nose
Will be red;
Very soon your toes
Will feel dead.
Summer soon will close;
Then comes winter woes.
Come and get your clothes
Right now!
Fur coats in rows,
listers in piles;
Every garment shows
Autumn styles.
No man ever froze
In such coats as those.
Come and get your clothes
Right now!
Prices we oppose
That are high.
People, we suppose,
Like to buy
Goods, whose value shows
Where each penny goes.
Come and get your clothes
Right now!
We have sundry foes
In the trade
But our business grows
By your aid.
Competition blows
But the buyer knows
Where to get his clothes
Right nowl

steady downpour is reported The levees are
soft and mu5hy. and with continued precipi-
tatlOn 1t Is feared that the embankment VIII

celvad tonight states that the Tensas River mas
risen over foot since last night, and that tho
swift stream is full of heavy drifts. The back
water from the Biggs crevasse is showing itseit
near Nidali, and will inundate many acres ol
rich land in that region. At Greenvile the river
fell two-tenths of a foot in twenty-four hours.
Light showers prevailed all day, and the weather
tonight is warm and unsettled
At Memphis fall Of one-tenth OF foot IS
recorded. The river at Cairo is falling at an
increased rate. The big stream has dropped
nine-tenths Of a foot since last night ana lne
