Budde's bathing rooms, on the river
shore, have an immense run. Charley is
called hazardous experimenter, but he
pgenerally succeeds. Not emily our own
citizens patronize his washing place with
great liberality, but travellers in large
numbers pass in to relieve themselves
from the dust and heat of this hottest
June known to the west.
We are not councilmen (JoHN and the
writer) nor are we candidates for future
honors in that line, but we suggest that
mad dog reports are becoming too plenty
to induce feeling of safety. 1t is said
that McGregor has furnished one case of
dog-madness already. May we inquire of
our municipal folks if it is not time that
acire muzsles, not leather shams, should be
put on dogs? Our exchanges are full of
reports of canine insanity. Give Marshal
KRAMER free scope ia your Ordinance; q
dog without secure muzzle should be
shot, no matter how highly valued by his
owner ; how small, how large or how
handsome. The life of little child who
toddles along the streets is worth more
than all the dogs we ever heard of.
George W. Nichols, Esq, the builder Of
Flemming Brothers extensive lumber
mills, at North McGregor, has returned
to his residence at Clinton. Mr.. Nichols
has no superior as machinist, an archi-
tect, an engineer or gentleman. We
wish him the success he deserves. His
work up this way is highly creditable to
him.

"Prof." John Holster, Of this city, a
good musician, well-dressed form, gentle
address, &C., &C., ran away last Tuesday
night, leaving several friends disappointed
in the money way, board bills, saloon pat
ronage, &c., &c. He succeeded in nego-
tiating forged draft on one of our towns
men for $42 80. We are not at all disap.

sight Of him caused o feeling such as we
experience when we see snake. He is
German by birth, and rather cookbook

The Masons, their families and invited
friends had very pleasant basket picnic
at Pictured Rocks on St. Johns day. The
steamer was appropriately tagged and all
passed of gaily.
We nstice that an unusual interest was
taken in the annual st. Johns day ceremo-
MES throughout the United States. The
Order is strengthening very rapidly.
Doc. Conant has just returned from Red
Wing. He went up on the Diamond 10.
He tells us that man was lost about 20
