The Independence Conservative recounts
the incidents, connected with horrible tragedy
which occurred in that city on the 2ist inst.
It appears that Miss Elizabeth Chandler, a
young lady about p years of age while in con-
versation with her brother of II, member of
the volunteer service, at home on . furlough,
made request to see revolver the young
soldier had just traded for, and, as he took it
from the holster in a playful manner, by some
means it accidently exploded, the ball entering
the forehead of the young lady, about one
inch and half above the eye causing almost
instant death. How many sad accidents, re-
sulting from the playful and careless use Of
fire arms, must there be recorded before peo-
pie will use sufficient amount of care to pre-.
| vent their recurrence It is said that this
young man, in Ills utter destruction of mind
twice, attempted to take his own life but was
| Immediately taken in charge by sufficient
force to prevent so sad fate.

The FAIR.-The North lava Sanitary
Fair, at Dubuque, which is advertised to
hold over during part or all of this week,
has been up to this writing, as reported to
US, complete success in every department.
Clayton county is represented as being
fully up to the standard. It is not known
yet what the proceeds will amount to, but
by some it is supposed will exceed $6O,.
600, and others think there will be realized
near a hundred thousand. We intended
to give some Of the details in this issue.
but our columns are already full and enough
for another issue itemized. Among the
citizens Of McGregor who took an active
part at the Fair, we notice Mrs.
Robert Grant and Mrs. H. 3. George, who
did the selling, assisted, part of the time,
by Mrs. Capt. Sladden and Mrs. H. e.
Newell. Miss Barnes has the credit OF
furnishing boquet of flowers, arranged
by her own hands, which took the highes,
prize Of any on the list. The McGregor
Cornet Band went down on the Key City
on Thursday night, and played almost in.

On Saturday evening while some of the
young ,nen Of this city were bathing in
the river near the levce and just above Nc.
Hose & Cos. warehouse, one of the num-
Der, Mr. Geo. Hirth, by some means got
into deep water without being able to swim
and was drowned. Several attempts were
made 10y persons present to save the drown.
ing man, but all proved failure. The
deceased, whose parents live near Lansing,
was nineteen years old. The body was
found about ten q. m. on Sunday and con.
veyed to the house of the Walter Bros, in
whose employ he had been.
AT the same hour, Mr.. Anderson, pro.
duce dealer, Of Pr. du Chen, was drowned
while bathing near the lower Landing in
that city. Mr.. Anderson had only been
in Prairie du Chen q short time and leaves
a wife and one child.
