a confia grafton here, in a short time
Joblots, o., Feb 20-Henry W. Hart.
the Deputy State Inspector of Fires,
says he is confident of running to earth
the fend incarnate who burned the
Widow Browns barn last fall. He
is searching for clues to the wretch.
Wayback Corners, O., Feb. 20-Henry !
W. Hart has been here to ascertain
the cause of the fire which occurred
here few months ago. He says he
is on the track of the party and will
make an arrest in a few days. The
joke Is on Hank" this time sure as
there has not been fire here outside
of a stove or brush heap for 30 years
and the fire which the boys brought
the Deputy State Inspector here to
investigate is known to have been
caused by Johnny Hoehandles little
boy playing with matches in the barn.
A despatch from San Francisco, says
that Jerry, the famous lighting cat
OF the United States steamer Albatross,
was buried, Monday, with full naval
on the ship 16 years, and had great
reputation as fighter. 1t has been
stated that when Jerry scented fight,
he could make so much noise that the
roar Of the ocean sounded as weak as
a Fourth of July celebration at Youngs-
town. A few days ago, however, Jerry
picked a fight out of another ships
cat, that did business under the nom
de plume of Black Gentleman. After
the noise and smoke of the battle died
away, it was discovered that tho
tenderfoot, Black Gentleman, had re-
lieved the venerable Jerry Of all his
laures and also all the hair on his
tail and back. Jerry was doctered up
by the crew. and he was on a fair road
to recovery, until one day the in.
destructible Black Gentleman sought
out Jerry, who was sleeping in n
basket on the deck. Jerry, despite
the ills incident to old age and his
: savage defeat, did his best to get up
t steam and fight. He could not, and
across his breast in the sleep tnat
, knows no waking The slayer of Jerry
was court maltialed, and made to
| walk plank, loaded down with scrap
i. iron.
;. or late, every person who looks mt
the flag on the staff extending sky.
o ward from the postotiice roof, sees in
Its every movement mute appeal for
, sympathy. No longer does the glor,
= ious emblem fash and flame, for its
:, beautiful trinity OF colors has lost Its
4 identity beneath coating of dirt
, Even the most ardent admlrer and
patron Of the flag admits that tn,
emblem floating from the postoffict
building, now looks more like be
- draggled horse-blanket than the fal
of the brave and free. One glance
"a at the bright, starry emblem Of oul
q country stirs and thrills every patrl
;. otic emotion, but who would wan
to shoulder his musket and follow
flag like that on the postoilice! Why
in fact so stiff has become this fla
from its coating of dirt, that It n
longer floats tremulously before tn
.. breeze, but moves like n weathe
~ yane, or n dillapdated sign,boart
Why Hadil Mahammed Womoc
Kiram floats n prettier u. S. flag owe
his harem! Talk about trampling tn
flag in the dust--the =. o. flag mus
have trampcd in the mud
And the weather signals are all on
color--a duh black. so II is ditlicu
to tell just what kind of weather tn
signals indicate.
