The dance given by the Hocknell
Hose Co. at the Opera Hall , last Friday
evening , was very largely attended , and
was , despite the warmth of the weather ,
one of the most pleasant affairs of the
kind ever held in our city. The citizens
attended the ball in numbers which in

laddies , who cleared § 35 thereby , and
provided , in addition , an enjoyable even

The Churchill House was struck by
lightning during the rain of last Thurs

nerves were somewhat disturbed by the
bolt which was accompanied by a most
terrific report.
Two brave , we might say very brave
bruisers , by drawing largely upon the

be the best mill for the money in the
market , having the largest wind surface
and being the best self-regulator.

ANOTHER MAN MADE HAPPY C.

of town received the pleasant informa

receive a pension of $30 per month for
the rest of his natural life. This will
place the old man , who is unable to per

A PROSPECTIVE CHANGE Manager
Furst of the B. & M. Eating House is
seriously considering the advisability of
changing that hostelrie into a lunatic
asylum , his experience with cranks late
ly seeming to make such a move imper
ative. A few nights since , a powerful
man , laboring in the throes of that hor
rible .disease , delirium tremens , fright
ened the bloom of youth from the ro
seate countenance of the night clerk
and disturbed the slumber and peace of
mind of the entire household by his dem
onstrations with a revolver and the office
poker , which he tried to convert into a
fish hook. After an exciting time , with
the assistance of some of the muscular
guests , the intruder was thrown out , and
peace and quietude reigned supreme.
We can offer this soothing suggestion ,
taken from personal experience , these
poor cranks are harmless in the main.

ing" W. G. Shepherd to the tune of a
$40 watch , Saturday. Perforce of the
individuals claims , Mr. Shepherd sol
him the watch , taking a mortgage on th
same , supposing at the time that every
thing was 0. K. Upon subsequent in
vestigation it was ascertained that thi
d. b.'s statements were utterly false , and
a warrant for his arrest was issued and
placed in Deputy Welch's hands , who
shortly afterwards brought the young
scamp into Justice Colvin's court for
hearing. The Justice bound him over
vto appear at District Court , in default
"of $200 bail , and he was placed under
the care of Sheriff Welborn for safe
keeping. The grand jury failing to find
an indictment against the rogue , he was
discharged from custody.
