DIED FREEMAN.-In Springville, Adams county, Wisconsin, on the 1st of April, 1878, after a brief illness, Clarina, consort of the late Lucius FREEMAN, aged 77 years and 5 months. Local Brevities Mr. STRICKLAND has sold his half interest in the Friendship Mills to Messrs. CONVERSE and MAXON of Michigan. Hon. G. M. MARSHALL, and ex-County Treasurer PHILLIPS let the light of their countenances beam on us Friendshipers last week-and glad we were to see them. Mrs. HAWKINS has opened Millinery Rooms over Hill's store with an entirely new stock of goods. The warm weather is the time for gay feathered birds. Last Monday the long drouth broke loose and a fine rain fell during the night and nearly all day Tuesday. Tuesday night and all day Wednesday, the wind blew a gale. Mr. Z. WISE improved the appearance of his premises greatly by putting up a nice fence along the street. Thereupon Mr. FERRIS caught the disease and served his lots in the same way. A. J. HILL has the lumber and material on the ground for building a blacksmith shop. A. J. has needed a new shop for some time and we are glad that he is to have it. Capt. NEWTON has plowed up his hop yard, and sowed it to wheat. We guess that is a sensible and profitable act. Mr. O. T. STRICKLAND having sold his property here to Messrs. CONVERSE and MAXON, expects to remove his family to Michigan next week. His friends here all wish him success at his new home. Large areas in this county have been burned over this spring by fires set out by the noodles who haven't sufficient sense to know better than do so. Any man who doesn't know better than to set out fires to burn over the woods and prairies of this section of country, hasn't sense enough to be of any benefit to this world; and if the Almighty should burn him up in the fire set by himself there would be poetic justice in it, and this world would be rid of a mischievious dunce. Every section of this world has its peculiar ills from which it suffers. In one place it is from ferocious wild beasts; in another from horrible and venomous serpents; in another fever, cholera, or agues and chills. The peculiar ills of this section are the jackanapes and idiots who set fire to the woods and prairies. It's useless to talk to this class. There isn't one in the whole lot that has brains enough to realize when he's hungry. If he had he wouldn't set fires to burn up the vegetable matter needed to make the crops grow luxuriantly.
