LAINGSBURG. On the evening of Dec. nth, fire was discovered in the James House barn, which soon communicated to the hotel, and although all possible efforts were made to check die flames both buildings were soon consumed together with the rest of the block, consisting of S. A. Williams' saloon an Beardsley's two store buildings. Mrs. Hibbard's millenery building, situated in the block cast of the James House was also consumed, but here fortunate'.y the fire was arrested, the building being a small one. Had they failed in checking the fire here there is no doubt but that the busi ness part of the town- 5on the hill" wculd have been wiped out. The excitement was intense, but the peo pie kept cool and worked with a will The buildings were all wood, and a stiff northeast wind caused ihem to burn biiikly. Beardsley' goods were all saved though in a somewhat dam aged condition. He had no insur ancei and will probably lose $2,500, with the exception of $1,200 insurance on the turniture. The hotel property was not insured, loss probably $3,000. S. A. Williauii' saloon and Mrs Hib bard's building were both insured, and will probably aggregate a loss of $i,ooo more. These figures are all estimates but are probably not far out of the way. Beardsley has moved his goods into the McCimtock block where he has opened business again. Those burned out have the sympa thy of the community, and it is re gretted by all that the property was not insured. Thomas T. Shirts, a respected citi zen of our village, died suddenly on the 6th and was buried with Masonic honors on the 10th inst. The wife of R. IJ. Marvin, living $l2 .miles north, died of consumption on Dec. oth. Her funeral was held at Middlebury church the fol lowing Thursday. R. Swarthout returned from Iosco county last week. He brought home a fine deer with a magnificent pair of antlers. When hung up he measured 8 feet and 8 inches from hind foot to nose. I almost forgot to mention the fact that the- Greenbacker is no more. Born for no use dwindled soon, And turned its toes up to the moon. ZlSCA. VERNON. ' Town full of people and lively sled ding with snow full six inches deep, and thermometer this morning at 16 degrees below zero. Each of the church societies gave an entertain -nent last week and the week before, which resulted in addi lions to the treasury of each one, and they are now making ready for Christ mas festivities.

We remember some time ago ol reading about a mill in which was post ed a notice as follows: "Don't monkey with the buzz saw when in motion." We were reminded of this by an in cident which happened at a recent meeting of the Iowa Pool Line Rail roads. The Pool is composed of the various roads which run between Chi cago and Council Bluffs Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chicago Rock Island & Pacific, Chicago Burlington & Quincy, and the" Wabash. The representa tives of one of the roads made charges against Mr. E. St. John, Gen eral Passenger Agent of the Rock Island, ol irregularity in business methods. Mr. St. John was absent at the Jime and considerable was said in the papers about how the Rock Island was working to beat the pool, but upon his return he al once took up the matter and issued quite a lengthy s well as spicy circular, in which he goes through the allega tions made against him and the "al ligator" very much as a buzz saw would go through the person who was so foolisn as to "monkey" with it when it is in motion. ' It is our opinion that the roads making and attempting to sustain the charges against Mr. St. John found him de cidedly "in motion," and hereafter when they want to stir him up they will feel like taking the advice of Punch to the young man about to marry Don't.
