Traeedv in st.Ionis.

A terrible tragedy occurred in St. Louis
on the 9th ult. DR.. E. Wander Roeche re-
Gently married the sister of Henry Linhoff.
The Dr.. abused his wife shamefully, and
was found to have another wife in Germany
On making this discovery. the brother,
with friend, went to see the betrayer OF
his sister. The Democrat says:
'.They found the Doctor and his wife IN
the hall, and entered his Office with him.
He owned that he had wife in Germany,
but said he left her because she was a Grip
pie. Linhof conversed with coolness and
candor but when he reproached the Doc
tor for deceiving his (L's) sister. the Doc,
tor replied that he also had found himself
deceived in her. At this remark, Linhofl
drew bis revolver and shot the Doctor
through the heart. The victim started from
his chair, clapped his hand TO his breast,
fell, groaned once, and instantly expired
The ball passed through both ventricles oil
the heart, from the left to the right side
Linhof at once proceeded to the Justice
Office, aud surrendered himself into legal
custody"

Board resolved that an assessment of the
taxable property of the county should Be
made Immediately. with view of taxation
The next meeting of the Board will be held

the county. The Board seem determined
however, to persevere in their efforts to get
the wheels of government into operation

A day or two since, while on business
trip to the neighborhood of the Junction,
we called at the new steam saw mill of n.
NJ. Baker. This mill, which is situated
on the south side of the Cottonwood,
about half mile above its Junction
with the Neosho, has now been in sue
cessful operation about two months. The
mill is one Of the best we have seen in the
country, and is under the supervision of an
experienced engineer. The lumber turned
out is uniformly good, for which, when
spring business commences, there will un-
doubtedly be large sale. The proprietor
of the mill is a gentleman every way worthy
the confidence and patronage of the COM
munity, and we doubt not that he will re-
ceive his share of it.

TIE MUsKRATs AGAIN-AN OPEN WIN
TER.-The La Crosse Democrat says:
Everywhere upon our neighboring marsh
es the muskrats are building their winter
houses upon comparatively high ground
or pretty much out of water. By the tes
timony of the ''oldest Inhabitants this fac
always foreshadows an open winter. If {
hard. freezing winter is at hand, the musk
rats build low in the water, to, keep under
the ice. If an open or mild winter approach
es. they keep nearer the surface. They
proved true prophets last year.

We learn with satisfaction that the ball
held at Americus on Christmas eve passed
off very pleasantly. The high stage of wa
ter in the Neosho prevented large party
from being in attendance from this place
About ten couple started from town in the
afternoon, but were obliged to return; and
to ameliorate their disappointment, got up
an oyster supper and dance at the Emporia

Christmas.

The observance of Christmas day in En-
poria was not unlike that generally prae-
ticed elsewhere. The weather was mild,
but the sky was o'ercast with clouds. In
the morning, afternoon and evening inter-
esting religious services were held at the
house of Mr.. S. G. Brown, which were we'll
attended. Turkeys and such like ''fxings," +"
supposed to be peculiarly appropriate to the
celebration of Christmas day, suffered ex-
tensively about dinner time. The senior
editor was invited out s'to dine;'' the junior
ruralized amongst his friends in the country,
where he feasted on the 'fat of the land, %
and the compositors went hunting with
double barreled guns, and didn't kill any
thing. The merchants kept ''shop" all day,
doing good trade, and the emancipated
school boys amused themselves with shoot
ing their crackers and torpedos, and burn
ing powder promiscuously. But tie feature
of the observance was huge game of ''ball'
in the public square. Nearly all the male
bipeds of the place-old and young-par-
ticipated in the sport, which commenced in
the morning and continued until dark
The fun and excitement were great, and
dofing, for the time, the gravity and digni-
ty of everyday life and business, all were
"boys again. and entered into the spirit OF
the game with relish and vigor that would
have done credit to their younger years.
The discussions which grew out of this re-
vival of ''the days when We were young" !"
have been very numerous, covering the
whole range of "ball SCIENCE" and many
are the learned disquisitions we have listen
ed to in regard to the merits and demerits
of ''base ball." bull-pen, cat-ball, etc., with
the proper mode of conducting the game
Nobody got mad or drunk during the whole
day; and although the time might have been
more pro6tably spent, yet taking it all in
all, we believe that it was much better en-
ployed than is usual on such occasions.
