THE NEW FIRE STEAMER
The new steamer is doing wonders and with even the light hose of the old hand engine,almost every building in the city can be reached directly from the river runningthrough the city, while the one or two reservoirs contemplated to be built if theold engine had remained, will not be needed. We shall probably want about 500 feetof new strong hose and with that, every building in the city can be reached withoutreservoirs. One of the achievements of the steamer was throwing a heavy stream ofwater about fifteen feet over the large elevator at the depot, while the engine stoodon the bridge near the HILGEN Mnfg. Co., drawing its water directly from the millrace fourteen feet or more perpendicularly. The length of hose was about 1000 feetand one hundred more pounds of steam could have been put on if the hose would havewarranted the pressure. We were told by the engineer who has been running the steamerin Racine that she will do splendid work with 1500 feet of hose. Two or three goodmechanics, members of our fire department, have been instructed in the use of theengine and we are told will be able to manage the steamer in case of fire already.We would not sell it again for an advance of one thousand dollars over and abovethe original cost. It is just the ting for this small city to have; it weighs onlyabout 6000 lbs. and two good horses are able to carry it everywhere.

No paper can be published without home patronage says a discriminating exchange,and every man is interested in keeping up a house paper. If a railroad or a factoryis wanted, the newspapers are expected to for it. If a public meeting is wanted forany purpose, the paper is called on for a free notice. f If the charitable societieshave a supper or a social of any kind, the newspaper is always expected to to giveall the necessary notices, and to puff it after it is over. The newspaper must puffthe school and do every thing else to advance the interest of the business men ofthe place, and then give them a handsome notice when they go to heaven. And yet someof them do nothing to keep up a paper.

THE WILD ANIMAL
Many conflicting stories having been circulated about a certain fierce animal saidto be in the vicinity of Hamilton, a representative of the NEWS called upon Mr. MEYERto ascertain the facts. Mr. MEYER was not in the best of humor when his attentionwas called to the different versions of the story and said that the only motive hehad in giving publicity to the affair was to warn his neighbors against danger andso avoid reproaches being heaped upon himself in case something should follow. Thestory as told is substantially as follows:

At 2 P.M. last week Tuesday the dog (a fierce bull dog) was suddenly attacked bysomething hidden in the willows about two rods from the house. A little boy who wasnear went to see what hurt the dog, when he was startled by the appearance of ananimal “with a big and bushy head and a body as smooth as a horse.” His screams attractedthe attention of a lady in the kitchen who also sighted the strange animal throughthe window. From here the animal was followed to the woods where it had a short conflictwith the dog who made his escape as fast as he could. Since then the animal has beenseen more than a dozen times by different ones; once in the act of crouching up toa calf in pasture among other cattle. Strange tracks can be seen in different placesalong a well-trodden path. A number of rifle-men have been in search of the animal,but never with a good dog, and until some genuine hunting dog is put on the track,the affair will undoubtedly remain a mystery.
~~~~~~~~~~
Monday afternoon a party of our most valiant hunters went down to annihilate theferocious wild animal which for some reason or another has taken lodging in Mr. MEYER’sjungle, 1 1/2 miles south of Hamilton. At Hamilton they were reinforced by a delegationof Hamilton’s worthy sons, and after indulging in liquor which is calculated to keepthe courage high, the combined forces marched to the battle. The party then beatthe jungle and howled themselves hoarse; but ‘twas all in vain as the lion(?)kept itself aloof (which he always does when anybody wants to see him in particular).Probably the lion, when he saw the solid phalanx of hunters approaching with “bloodin their eyes” thought that discretion is the better part of valor, and betook himselfoff to his burrow.
