MORE SCARED THAN HURT. - The
recent operations of burg lars throughout
the city have created great deal Of unnecess
airy fear and awe in many households, and
inmates during the trying period of the
night are of the most ludicreus character,
and would 60 to prove that we are
thoroughly frightened community at the
present time. We are greeted every morn
ing with rumors of burglars and their ope.
rations during the night previous, and the
tales related are sufficient to make the hair
stand on end. but they sssoou dissipate when
the real facts are learned. After dark every
stump, post and obstruction developes itself
into huge giant and engages in the pas
time of chasing innocent females as they
journey along home, and when once in the
house every move Of cat or mouse is con-
strued into a demonstration from burglar,
until 1t would seem that there is not only no
peace for the wicked, but especially none
for Watertown females just now. But it
would be unjust tie charge all these fearful
forbodings as occurring solely among the
gentler sex OF our community. We un-
ders tand that q gen tleman of our acquaint-
ance, whose business sometimes takes him
out a tier dark Che is not burglary, when
returning home few nights ago, was quite
sure ne saw several men standing in the
yard of residence On Clyman street, and of
course preparing to break into the house,
and as fast as his steed could carry him he
sought an interview with one of our police
force and accompanied the official to the
spot. With great caution each stole steal
thily along to his man, and made a grab,
but no tussle with flesh and blood ensued,
for the two hitching posts were not in
clined to show any resistance to the invad-
ing forces.

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the Eas. and arriving at Chicago
or indianapolis, how shall we reach the
West? The best Line is acknowledged to
be the c., B. Il O., joined together with the
b M. Railroad by the Iron Bridge at
Burlington, and called the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to
Omaha connects with the great Pacific
Roads, and forms to-day the leading route
to California. The Middle Branch, enter
ing Nebraska at Plattsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the State Capital, and
will this year be finished to Fort Kearney,
forming the shortest route across the Con-
tinent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. ~, diverging
at Red Oak. falls into line running down
the Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas
City, and all Kansas. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois. Southern Iowa
and Missouri, and, by slight divergence,
can see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember
the Burlington Route, for its towns "high-
cleaning from afar" - its tree fringed
streams-its rough bluffs and quarres-its
corn-oceans stretching over the praires fur
Their than eye can reach.
Land buyers WILDE sure to remember it.,
for they have friends among the two thou
sand who have already bought farms from
Geo. S. Harris, the Land Commissioner of
the B. j. NJ. r. R. at Burlington, Iowa, or
among the four thousand home steaders and
pre-emptors who last year filed claims in

Adultery AND WHAT Nor %

ADULTERY AND WHAT Nor % n
Friday of last week, Sheriff Swellenbach
arrested Lewis Walbridge and Harriet A E.
Fryer, of the village of Port land, Dodge
county, on charge of adultery. The com,
plant against the adulterer and adulteress
was sworn out by Alexander E. Fryer, hus-
band of the woman, who has been in the
jefferson Jail since February last for steal
two COWS from Mr.. Starr Cone, of Waterloo.
The parties arrested for illicit intercourse
were taken before Police Justice Bruett, Of
Jefferson, last Saturday. On the examina.
tion it was proved that Wslbridge and Mrs
Fryer had been living together as man aud
wife since June last. They were both held
to bail for their appearance at the next term
of the Circuit Court, the woman in the sum
of $loo, which she procured from her broth
er, and Walbridge in the sum of $500, in
default of which he was lodged in Jail to
await his trial, and in the meantime to be
enabled to become on terms Of closer intima-
cy with his putative relative. 1t is
reported that the adulterer has already tw o
wives living, and yet it would seem is not
happy. Fryer is the second husband of
the woman, her first husband being dead,
and has been married to her about six years,
with one child as the fruit of the marriage.

SEVERE AocIDENT.-On Tuesday

SEVERE ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday
evening of last week, while Mr.. John! Har-
dee, of this city, an employe of the Milwau-
kee l. st. Paul Railway Company, was
standing on the dock at Walkers Point,
Milwaukee, looking at a Steamer preparing
to leave, one of the tenders Of the vessel,
com posed of hard timber, flew up and fell
with great force upon his head, knocking
him senseless. At first it was thought that
Mr.. Hardee was fatally inj ured, but medical
assistance was at once procured, and he
rallied sufficiently to be able to reach Zone
that night, with the aid of several friends
who were with him at the time. He has
since been confined to his house, but we
are glad to learn that he is better, and his
ultimate recovery may be looked for.

Arion Piano Forte
Is THE BEST INSTRUMENT MANUFACTURED.
THE PATENT
.Arion Pianos
Read the Following:

1t affords me much pleasure to give you,
in these few lines, very sincere testimoni-
al for the PianoFortes ofyour manufacture.
We have now used the Patent Arion Pianos
in our Conservatives for a year, and have
had a fair opportunity of testing their du-
rability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly,
from morning till night, and Piano mast
indeed be good one when it will bear
such constant use without showing signs
of detection. AS for remaining in tune, it
outrivals any Piano known to me.
Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the
treble, las compared to other Pianos with
the ordinary metal agraffe arrangement
is SO striking that | have had pupils re-
mark, while taking their lessons, that al
though they had at home what what they
supposed to be one of the best makes Of
Pianos, still the treble was very wirey
toned compared with the Arion.
What makes them still more desirable is
their uniform volume oftone, which enable
an artist to perform a composition in its
true character.
In total, can conscientiously endorse all
that is claimed by the Arion Piano-Forte
Company for their superb instruments as
consider them superior to any other make.
Congratulating you upon the great sue
cess you have obtained in the manufacture
of so perfect instrument, remain yours,
Very truly,
Director.

ton of fencing and improving that parcel of
ground in the lst ward which has been ying
around very loose for some years, call
ed the Public Square, is being agitated with
renewed vigor. All citizens interested in
tie improvement of our city should feel
pride in this matter and favor the project

to plant trees and otherwise sdorn the
lot, providing the city bears the expense Of
fencing it. This very fair proposition should
be at once accepted, and the work COM
