The O. E. S. mask ball came off

the costumes particularly noticeable
were Peter Eyler's representation
of the Era and Miss Sarah Fitzpat

prise to the Journal and we par
ticularly commend them for their

The Sabbath School Concert in

John Wiggins, the Columbus
hardware man, has purchased of
Krause & Sons all their stock of

tho fire of Krause & Sons consist in
part of cook and heating stoves,
nails, iron, steel, wire, pots, kettles,
thimble skeins, b'olte, harrow teeth,
wrenches, barn-door rollers, &c.
The list in full would embrace a
largo share of a general hardware
stock. Call soon, and get a bargain,
as the goods will bo closed out in a
few days, at Jehu Wiggins's hard
ware store, south of the track.
All lovers of music should em

programme consists of the drama,
"Redeemed; or Among the Break
ers," followed by the " Rough Dia
mond; or Cousin Joe's Visit," to
conclude with E. J. Potts in his in
imitable song and dance specialties.
The troupe is composed entirely ot
home talent, and as they have here
tofore given ample evidence of their
ability to entertain an audience in a
first performance in which they ac
quitted themselves with laurels, we
do not hesitate iu commending them
to the public, and we bespeak for
them a rousing house. Admission,
only 35 cents; children under 15,
25 cents; reserved seats 50 cents.
Reserved scat tickets for sale at
Dolaud & Smith's drug store.
In our last issue wo did not
have space or opportunity to make
that mention of the theatrical per
formance of the Thalia Society
which we would have been pleased
to do had it not transpired upon the
night that the Journal goes to
press. Not being a German scholar,
we of course can not enter into the
merits of tho play nor offer com
ment upon the performers, but to
judge from the deportment upon
the stage, and that of all to us ap
peared excellent, aud the applause
which the performance received
from the large audience, the play
was happily chosen and well ren
dered. It is our opinion that the
Society has among its membership
theatrical ability considerably above
the average amateur performers.
The orchestra band, composed of
E. Pohl, John Stauffcr, Gus. and
Louey Schroeder, discoursed splen
did music, such as is seldom, if
ever, heard even with professional
troupes, in the west.

Ed. Journal: We do not hesitate
to admit, that it is vastly more
pleasant to reside in a vicinity, free
from those startling sensations of
life, which harass and perplex us
mortals, and so readily excite our
anger or admiration, or melt us to
pity ; but we are also cognizant of
the fact, that it is not so advantage
ous for the reporter, who is thus
located; but still we persist iu sub
mitting those tranquil occurrences
which semi-occasioually occur with
in the limits of this historic place.
A number of the farmers here
have recently purchased several
varieties of fruit trees, and propose

The Compton Case.
A dispatch from Lincoln on the
15th inst., brought the news that the

In answer to "A Reader" on that

the top of the candle is the top of the

the shadow on the floor. There arc

Dear Journal : I think you arc
mistaken in saying that Martha
Washington is the only woman that
ever enjoyed the franking privilege

was customary to extend the same
privilege, by special act, to every
widow of an ex-president, so long as
franking was allowed at all. c.c. s.

The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed
by physicians, or sold by Druggists,
that carries such evidence of its suc
cess and superior virtue as Bos
ciike's German Syrup for severe
Coughs, Colds settled on the breast,
Consumption, or any disease of the
Throat and Lungs. A proof of that
fact is that any person afflicted,
can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents
and try its superior effect before
buying the regular size at 75 cents.
It has lately been introduced iu this
country from Germany, and its
wonderful cures are astonishing
everyone that uses it. Three doses
will relieve any case. Try it. Sold
