Our new City Council held its first
regular monthly session last Monday eve
ming. Considerable business was transact
ed, Alderman Ross was elected President
Of the Council, WM. II. Curry reelected
City Clerk; ALEX. McGUIGAs elected Stree t
Commissioner; and Thomas PRESLEY, First
Ward, aud CYRUs LANYos, Second Ward
elected School Commissioners. A road tax
of three mills on the dollar was levied
The liquor license question was settled by
fixing the rates at 800 for a retail, and
$50 for wholesale license, Each Iiccrse
hereafter granted by the city is to contain
clause requiring the saloon TO which it is
given TO be closed on Sundays and election
days, and also after 10 o'clock P NJ on week
days. One new ordinance was passed, the
import of w ich we have not learned. We
understand it is the intention of the Board
TO PASS almost an entire new code of ordi-
nances, as those of the present code are
considered very defective.

DRAMATIC SCENERY.-We slipped
into the rooms of the Dramatic Association
a dav or two since to take look at the
scenery they are getting up for their forth
coming exhibitions But few of our citi-
zens are probably aware of the artistic tai
ent we have in Mineral Point. Only part
OF the seerery for the Association is COM
pleted, but the drop curtain is particular
ly worthy of notice. Its size is some IS by
9 feet, and the painting, both in design
and execution, of superior order. The
drapery. landscapes, farm residences, and
water views are so correctly presented TO
the eve as to elicit the admiration OF the
beholder. We have seen MANY paintings of
similar character but never one eIecu-
ted in so fine a style; and what is most re
makable, the entire work was performed in
the short space of two DAYS, and not under
the most favorable circumstances for con-
venience. The work was done by Mr.. R.
CHARLES Evans, OF this citx-a prsctieal
printer. but natural artist We under
stand the Association will soon be pre-
pared for giving exhibitions. and our ad-
vice TO all is 90 and look upon the beauti-
full scenery, if for no other purpose. We
trust CHARLEY NAV receive a liberal benefit

his skill and labor

day evening, Mr.. HoUsiseroN,.a -, blind citizen
ci GAINESVILLE, is to lecture before this ssso-
citation at the City Hall. He has the repu-

good may be expected. This gentleman
comes here on the condition that he will
accept for his services and expenses what
ever can be raised by contribution from the
audience, for which purpose box will be
in position at the door where all can reach
it as they enter, and as the liberality of our
people is to be thus tested, we hope ii may
not be "found wanting"

LOTTERY SPEcULArIoN.-No many
months since, Col. -, a shrewd, well-to-
do farmer residing within dozen miles of
this city, received through the post Office .
lottery ticket, accompanied by 4 circular
assuring the Colonel that the thing wss
"sure to draw and that By enclosing the
price of the ticket Zone dollar, we think.
he could safely rely upon prize of several
hundred dollars, and that IN no case could
it be less than the price of the ticket.
Having read and heard much of the lottery
swindles now So common in this country,
the Colonel at once 'smelt mice and
said in his mind, "no you dor't,s aold
birds are not caught with chaff," etc. The
letter containing the ticket and circular
was laid away, and the matter nearly passed
out OF his recollection, when, few weeks
after, the Colonel receives a letter inform
ing that ".his ticket, No. =, had drawn
prize of $780," and the writer proffering to
collect and remit the amount for the trifiine
compensation of so, but cautioning the
Colonel, that to make all appear straight,
he must antedate his letter to day prior
to the drawing, and get the post master to
do the same on the envelope in mailing it,
Good references were of course set forth.
and everything had the Appearance of e
straight forward business transaction Here
then was offered a fine opportunity tor
specrlation-a large return for small out
lays here was something besides ''chaff"
The Colonel swallowed the bait: the ten
dollar greenback was sent, and, of course,
the Colonel received in return-no rssly.

doing his best to check them, and BY proper
management succeeding in avoiding a col

THE WALK AT NIGHT.-It was in a
lonely district in the country, and the
family had neither bread nor -four No
flour could be obtained till dark, and
there was no one to go for it but Annette,
young girl. A mile, and alone, part
of the way through woods, the mother
trembled to send her; yet they could
not starve. 1t was moonlight and glo.
rious evening, and Annette bravely un-
dertook her task. The -four was not
quite ready from the mill, and she had
to wait some time. Then she started
homeward with her bag, looking and lis
tening every way for sights and sounds.
In the distance she heard the roll o!
wheels and the voices of men shouting
and singing, and coming nearer. Poor
girl how she trembled and tried to hide
in the shadow of the woods while they
would pass As they drew near she rec
ognized an old familiar tune and tn,
words of a joyful Christian hymn. Jus
as they passed the name of Jesus greeted
her ear, and the happy words,
Wash all my sins away"
They looked at her with her white bon
net and bag shining in the moonlight
but rode on, and Annette, with a ligh
heart, walked the rest of the way fearing
no evil.
The mother, anxious to distress, stood
at the gate watching for her child
"Were you not afraid? p Eyes, mother
till / heard the men singing hymn t,
jesus, and then | knew they were goo,
men, and / was afraid no more" Mes
