FOURTH OF July Picnic AND Races
There is to be great picnic at the Fair
Grounds on the Fonrth of July, where
arrangements have been made for one
of the pleasantest times ever enjoyed.
In addition to the festivities usual on
such occasions, there are to be four
races, one running race between four
pretty fleet nags, for a silver cup; one
mule race for a purse Of $50, the
fastest mule to win one race of mile
heats, and the other slow mule race,
the prize, a fancy silver bride, to be
given to the last mule making the dis
lance round the track, each owner to
ride an opponents mule. Beside this
there is to be sack race of fifty Yards.
This goes to make up programme of
interest and fun not often given q per-
son to enjoy. The price of admission
is only twenty-five cents, and we shall
expect to see the Fair Grounds crowded

old one.

by knocking Manley over the apple
barrel. Hearing that a warrant was
out for his arrest, he left the city and
was not heard of until Yesterday morn:
ing when officer Exley gobbled him mp.
He was fined 81 and costs.
John McClaren was captured about
II o'clock Thursday night, lying on the
steps of the Merchants and Mechanics
Bank, snoring like a steamboat and
making apparently twenty-five miles an
hour in his efforts towards sleeping off
his potations. He was locked up I'M
til Yesterday morning when he was

GRAVEL AND CEMENT RooFISG.-
George Crumbacker would inform the
public that he is still engaged in the
Gravel Roofing bushes, and that he is
prepared at any time to put on Roofs,
either large or small, on the shortest
possible notice, guaranteeing his work
for term of years. He has now been
engaged in the business for seven years
past, and his work has outlived a halt
dozen other Patent Roofs. The demand
for his work is increasing from year to
year. He put on, during the past year,
1900 squares of his Roofing in this city,
which has given satisfaction in every
respect. Address me through the Post.
