Mrs. Ralph Whiting, of tl i ia city, wliile makiuíT a trip to Hrighton recently, telll us that the Mortnon wolvea with t Ii-ir gleamlDg teeth, mudo a raid upon the good people of Livingston county i few days .since, but did nol succeed In capturing any laml)s. Two tall, flne-looking clerical chaps, both young uien, drove up to the house of the director of the Holllflter district in (reen Oak township, int roduced theniselves and told their mlnlon, asking permission to piesent their pecaliar religieus (?) views to the people of that section, hut were poreniptoiily refused. They tlien drove to the town house, but n;:iiii niet with a refiual thougli entertiiined nlght by one of' the gentiles. They tlien ooncluded thilt Livingston county was not a favorable place for thelrïoperatlons, and lelt for a more congenial clime. The riuging of the fiie bell stiirtled the people of the city Monday afternoon at about 4 o'clock. Following the englne we brought up at the house of Lndwlg Seyler, on Fifth st., south of Paokard, and the flamea had just got nlcely under way. But the li remen soon drowned them out, and saved the property with but little damage. The lire caught from a stove door's ilying open In n student' room, while no one was in. The house is a new one, and owned by Mis. Hanser, wlin had an insurance coverinj; loss. A good word OUght to bc sald in this connection for the boys of the new Union hook and ladder company, who performed their part well, as did in tact all the fireraen.
