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
dicate the interest they feel in the fire
laddies , who cleared § 35 thereby , and
provided , in addition , an enjoyable even
ing's recreation.
The Churchill House was struck by
lightning during the rain of last Thurs
day night. The fluid passed down one
of the chimneys , which was badly shat
tered , but the building otherwise escap
ed damage. There were a few persons
sleeping in the house at the time , whose
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
imagination and truth , judging from
their talk , were consumed with an over-
weaning desire to annihilate one an
other , a few evenings since , on Main
Avenue. Very unfortunately , for the
community neither had the requisite
sand to attempt the demolition of the
other. Had both been successful , the
town would have been the gainer.
THE WOODMANSE W. M. Irwin has
just made another soul happy by erect
ing one of those celebrated 12 ft.Wood-
manse Wind Mills and Pumps on his
farm. Jackson Tubbs is the favored one
this time. Parties wanting a good mill ,
very cheap , should first call on W. M.
Irwin. The Woodmanse" is warranted to
be the best mill for the money in the
market , having the largest wind surface
and being the best self-regulator.
Competition between the respective
Obcrlin-McCook hack lines was very

observed at an early stage of the pro
ceedings add extinguished without dam
age. The finrorioinated in the oil room ,
how'it is not kinown , and had it not
been observedf hen it was , the chances
are that considerable damage must have
been occasioned. The'boys promptly
attached the hose to the fire-plug at the
corner of the Citizen's Bank , but their
serviceswere not required.
ANOTHER MAN MADE HAPPY C.
E. Fox who lives a few miles northeast
of town received the pleasant informa
tion , last week , that he had been award
ed $1,160 back pay , and that he would
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
form any manual labor by reason of his
infirmities and old age , in comparatively t
easy circumstances , if the money is propc *
erly invested. A more delighted man 1
werehard to find in a day's travel. i

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.

A "dead beat" giving the name o
L. Faber , and claiming-to be in the em
ploy of the B. & M. , came near "work
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.

The "horse-chestnut" at the Opera Hall ,

able , as the clog dancing was good.
