employed for unlawful purposes.
In overcoming female diseases, Nervous
and Spinal affections, Pains on the Back

A QUEER AFFAIR.-Mr. William
Arndt, proprietor of the saloon just west of
the,ofice. buildiRgIof Mayor Prentiss, and who
lives over his place of business, claims that
his bedroom was entered last Wednesday
night or Thursday morning, and SIT in
money taken from the pockets of his psnta-
looms. In this there is nothing very strange,
rooms having been frequently entered be-
fore aud various articles as well as money
con6scated by the thief or thieves. The
novel and strange point in this case is
in the fact that Mr.. Arndt should have sus-
pected Mr.. Frank Sip. and old citizens and
prominent business man OF the place, as the
perpetrator of the crime, basing his suspicious
mainly on the fact that on the morning at
ter the robbery took place, Mr.. Sip changed
bill in certain saloon of the same i e
nomination ofseveral that were taken from
the aforesaid Arndts pockets, aud claiming
to identity the said bill by some mutations
on its face. Without anything more tan
gibe than this on which to make out case
Mr.. Arndt had Mr.. Sip arrested and taken
before Squire Ducasse on the charge Of bur
glary. On the trial nothing beyond what
we have stated was adduced, as pointing to
the criminality of the prisoner, and the jury
did not hesitate long about acquitting him,
and the innocence Of Nr. Sip was thus yint
Dictated. Mr.. Sip now commences an ac-
Ion IN the Circuit Court through his coun-
gel, hessrs Mulberger & Gardiner, against
Mr.. W. Arndt, Marshal OFF, and Deputy
Marshal Richart for false Imprisonment, and
damages to the amount of 81 900.

THE TURNER GIFT ENTERTAIN-
pie ever assembled together in this city, was
packed within the walls of Turner Hall on
last Thursday Evening, to witness the per
formance by the Watertown Turner's, and
be present at the drawing which came of,
promptly in accordance with previous an
uouncement. The acrobatic performance
by the Turner's was fine specimen of grace
ful agility and daring feats, producing
wonder and applause from the vast audi
ence present. The drawing commenced as
soon as possible after the performance was
over, and it is unnecessary to state that the
most Intense interest was manifested at this
part of the proceedings. Tie drawing az
conducted with the utmost care and fair
ness. and every one given an honest show in
the game of chance. Very shortly after the
ball opened the $500 prize came to the sur
face and was announced, creating consd-
cradle excitement, and, of course, bringing
disappointment to many ticket holders and
surprising no one greater than the hol-
der of the lucky number, 1877, Mr.. David
Hilbert, of the town of ustisford, Dodge
Co., who was present witness of his good
fortune. The two hundred dollar prize was
drawn by Mr.. W. Czech, of this city. Mr.
A. Tietz and Mr.. Bushell, both residents
OF Watertown, drew each one hundred dol
lars. Our space,will not admit, however, of
giving the names of all who drew prizes,
and we refer our readers to list of the
lucky numbers published elsewhere in this
paper Mr.. Hilbert, the drawer Of the FIVE
hundred dollars, made donation to the
Watertown Turner's Of Fifty Dollars, which
is most common dabIe act of liberality on
his part.
/ In every respect the enterprise was sue
cess, and gave satisfaction TO all concerned
We understand that about $4,000. will be
rea LIKED to the Turner Society from the en-
tertainment.

Great Through Railroad.

A new and most magnificent project
is on foot for building a railroad from
Boston, on very nearly an air line to
st. Louis. The proposition is to
make it an independent, double track
line, and narrow guage road The esti-
mated capital required is sixteen mil
lions of do liars, assessed upon the
several co unties through which the
proposed road is to pass, in proportion
to popul alton in each, in 1870. Fay
ette county is named in the plan as
one of the points. and the amount re-
quired of this county is 100000.
The St. Louis Democrat giving a
plan of the proposed road has been
placed in our hands from which we
have time and room only to make the
following brief extract:
If our citizens really interest them
selves in this matter, we fully and
firmly beHve that they can excite an
enthusiasm over it along the route en-
tirely unprecedented in the history of
railroad building.
COUNTY COURTS TO BE LABoRED WITH.
1t should he explained to the county
Court of each county that this road
was intended to serve the fullest inter
ests of each county; that a very large
number of cars would be placed upon
the line, that the rate of freight would
| be figured down to a minimum figure,
and kept there pernan emily without
| reference to the rates of other lines
that the stock of the road should
never be put upon the market, each
county agreeing to forever retain its
| shares. That fares for passengers
and emigrants should be put at rates
SO low that this route would become
the great central thoroughfare of the
country The court of each county
subscribing 100000 should appoint
one director. aud one for every addi-
tional 100000 they might subscribe
to the capital stock. That these di-
rectOrs should select the entire man
agement of the road from among theil
numbers, even 10 conductors ant
freight agents if practicable.
A road of this kind is worthy o
consideration. as it would really b,
worth more to the country through
which it would pass, than anything tina
has yet been proposed for the purpos,
of aiding and giving internal CONNER
ciai advantages TO the county
