FIRE!
Our quiet city was roused from its usual repose by the sound of the fire alarm, onSaturday morning at about 7:30. A fire had broken out in a barn belonging to Mrs.PAHL, a milliner residing on the Main Street of our city. The neighbors at onceresponded to the cry of fire, but their strenuous efforts were in vain, the framestructure was rapidly being consumed by the fire; at about this time, the hose cartand hook and ladder had appeared on the scene. With the aid of willing hands thehose was soon laid. In the meantime the fire engine had been placed in positionat SCHROEDER & TROTTMAN's mill, and soon the hose was brought to bear upon thefire. In a short time the fire (unreadable words) and it was soon extinguished. Although the company came too late to save the structure, excepting the contents,which were saved, still by their prompt and faultless work they prevented what mighthave been a disastrous conflagration, as the Lutheran church is situated but a fewfeet from the barn. This was the first time the new fire engine was used (unreadablewords) work proves that our city took a wise step in superseding the old hand engineby one of modern date.

A VISIT TO THE "GRAND REVIEW"
A reporter of the NEWS attended the meeting of the Thiensville Literary Society (GrandReview) last Friday evening. The chief subject on the programme for the eveningwas a debate on the question, "Should the rights of suffrage be extended towomen." Mr. WOODWORTH spoke on the affirmative while Mr. SCHMIDT took the negativeside of the question. Mr. WOODWORTH in presenting his plea, produced a strong andtelling argument, and convinced, at least for the time being, the audience of thejustness of the cause he was pleading. He was applauded to the echo at the conclusionof his argument. The negative side was now called to the rostrum to defend his position,but he evidently had "run agin a snag" in the person of Mr. WOODWORTH andprobably feeling himself incapable of answering his opponent, declined to enter thefield; whereupon the rest of the programme was taken up. At the conclusion of theevening's work, Mr. WOODWORTH read a poem entitled: "The Thiensville GrandReview." It was a composition replete with many humorous passages, and showedthat its author possessed poetical talent in no small degree.
