Book Biadeyy.-Cedar Falls can now
boast Book Bindery. Such an insti-
tuition has long been needed, and while
we are sure that it will prove great
convenience to our people we trust it
may be profitable enterprise to its
proprietor. Mr.. Hartman evinces a
thorough knowledge Of the bindery
business, and that, with his scale OF
prices, we doubt not will enable hina to
give good satisfaction.
Winter Exhibition Of The Cedar Valley
Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
tion.--We have received the Premium
List for the Eighth Annual Exhibition
of the Cedar Valley Agricultural and
Mechanical Association, which being
too late for this issue, will appear next
week. The Fair will be held in Over
mans Hall, Cedar Falls, December 9th
and 18th. We hope there may be a
general interest manifested in its success
and that the occasion may prove worthy
the Society.
Terrible Accident.-A little son of Mr.
s. J. Andrews, OF Mount Vernon Town.
ship, met with terrible accident on
Friday of last week. He. was playing
on hay stack, at the foot of which, or
stuck into the side, was large hay
knife. The little fellow fell, and the
knife passed entirely through his leg,
about half way between the knee and
hip joints. DR.. Pierce was called, and
dressed the frightful wound. We are
happy to state that the boy is doing
well, and is likely to fully receiver.
Mrs. Wella' School.-Those who at
tended the closing exercises of Mrs.
Wells school this afternoon must have
been much pleased. The care taken OF
the scholars was evinced by the readi-
ness of the answers, the depth with
which subjects were taken up, and the
manner in which the scholars were
taught to think for themselves, The
managers of the Home may weil be
proud that Mrs. Wells is to become a
preceptress in that institution.

An Appeal.--The Ladies of st. Luke's
Episcopal Church intend holding fair
on the week before Christmas. Their
object is to raise money to assist in
building house of worship. They ap-
peal to all in this town to aid them In
this enterprise. Who will make them
some article? Who will contribute
some donation to the refreshment table?
Who will make them some present?
Every church is an Improvement to the
town, therefore all my townsfolks sho' d
be interested. Every Church is place
where Christ's religion is taught, there
fore every christian should contribute.
REV. HENRY O. KINNEY.

have stated at'the time, just as received

and the dispatch was taken by her hus-
band. Our Board Of Trade" and bu-
