It will perhaps learn these rascals, in fu ture, to study the characteristics of their intended victim moreii care fully, and not pull too sooivwhen the fish bites. Every arood citizen who loves peace and uiet should lend his weight and influence to pulverize such dastardly work as tne anove.

A correspondent following: 1 sends us i the bunday morning about 10 o'closk, the house of Robert Davis, in Union township, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was at once given. Mr. Frank Tumbleson, Mr. Davis's tenant, was living i in the same) house with Mr.

Davis.) They at once rushed up stairs to save their household goods, but the heat and smoke were so dense that they would not enter the room, so they were forced to leave them to i the flames. They got out the things below and the contents of the cellar. Both families lost nearly! all their bedding and clothing. Mr. Tumbleson's hired hand lost ali bis clothing but what he had on.

jlle had gone home on Saturday evening. i i I The neighbors worked to save the contents of the house till driven back by the flames. Th.e Sunday school at Union came to an abrupt close, everybody running to jthe scene of conflagration. The barn was also in direct line of the and there was great fear thalj it too would be tlestroyed by the racing element. An old log stable" and corn crib were fired several times, but several young men took positions on the roof and straw stack with a good supply of water and thus saved the large barn, Everybody kept cool and worked in concert to save the property.

After the house was burned down the people set to work to repair; an old log house near the burned one. and by sundown Mr. Tumbleson i was moved and ready to begin life again. Davis and wife went to her parents. This is a sad loss to Mr.

T. as he is a young man just starting out in life, but the I kind people jof Union will not let him suffer. The burned building was a large frame, the main part being twenty by thirty six feet, two stories high, and a kitchen about eighteen by twenty feet, one story in height. The building was a substantial one and in very good repair. Mr.

Davis says it is fully insured.
