A fire broke out last Friday, at noon, in John Moneghan’s funiture repairing and upholstering shop, in the Nowels block, in the tear of th'e Rensselaer Bank. Mr. Moneghan was in the shop at the time and giving the alarm, water was brought and the fire was soon quenched. The fire company was called out, but the fire was nearly subdued before the engine reached the place. The fire began in a pile of oily rags and shavings and was probably a case of spontaneous combustion. A not unusual occurence in old piles of oily rags shavings, and the like.

See full advertisement yext week. The!creamery will, beyond question, be a good thing for the community in general. It will be of especially great benefit to the farmers, but in a less direct 'way, it will be a good thing for the town, for whatever benefits the country also benefits the town. BuJ; a canning factory would be of much greater benefit even to the farmers than the creamery and also to the town. Where can be found a region of country better adapted than this to the production of all kinds of garden truck, small fruits &c., such as are used m canning establishments? Never so far as known was a cream- & . ery company like ours organized, and the creamery built and got in operation in such short time. Can we not do proportionately as well with a canning establishment?

Rev. C. W. Cooper, pastor of the Christian Church at Remington,.made us a pleasant call yesterday. He was formerly located at Duluth, Minn ~ and can ies a novel souvenir of his stay there in the shape of a silver watch, for many years the property of the Sioux Chief, “Good Thunder,” who saved so many white people the tim? of the great Sioux outbreak in 18G3.

r Erastus Peacock, the mail route clerk/ .was} examined on Tennessee post-offices fit Louisville, last Friday, and in throwing cards for 1290 offices he only made three errors. This is the best record ever made at Louisville, or that we ever heard of, any place. What makes it more remarkable is the fact that Mr. Peacock had been in constant service on his route for 11 nights before the, day of exmination. The creamery opening last Monday __ was a notable event, and attracted a very large crowd of people. Farmers came in from all directions to witness the. operations of thecream- _ ery, and most of them brought greater or less quantities of milk. The entire amount brought in the first day was 2G26 pounds, which made 122 pounds of butter, or a little more than 5 pounds of butter to the 100 pounds of milk. Mr. A. Me Coy, president of the Creamery Co at his own expense had prepared an

an excellent and ample lunch for all who wished; consistin gos meat, bread, and coffee, and probably not lesi than 600 or 800 people partook of the lunch. Two fine young beeves were dressed and roasted for the occasion, while the supply of excel, ent bread and coffee was oil the same liberal scale. A fine plug hat, also Mr. McCoy’s gift, was offered to the man who would bring in the most milk the first day. This pras taken by Albert Parker, who hustled around among his neighbors and collected enough, with his own to make 783 pounds. The Creamery will be operated until April by Mr. Kellener, an expert from Ohio, under the Miperintendency qf Mr. J. 11. Willey. Its methods of operation and the great advantages it offers its patrons, are now becoming well understood among the farmers, aud there is every prospect of a prosperous future. ‘Should any one in any adjoining town be interested in the cstablisement of so valublean industry write
