-In the Republican ticket, published
in the Yankton CNeb.) Press, we observe
the name Of E. W. Laird, as candidate
for superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. Mr.. Laird was formerly of this
county, and is brother of S. NJ. Laird,
Esq, of this city. We bespeak for him
a full compliment of the success that is
sure to crown the ticket in which his
name is found.
The thousand feet Of rubber hose,
recently purchased by the Dawson Fire
Company, when subjected to a test
would invariably burst, owing to the
imperfect manner in which the rubber
and coupling were fastened. They were
sent back to the manufacturers, by
whom they were repaired so perfectly
as to stand a good test on Friday evening
last.

Those few chronic malcontents who,
since Greeley's nomination, have been
doing the distortion business for the /
Liberal movement on our streets, are
now growing more and more retieent in
the expression of their bombastic eulo-
gies of Greeley, and one by one, like the
Arabs, SILENTLY steal away to brood
over the fast receding popularity of their
candidate.
The Mshoning r. r. Company are
building a lengthy side track, which
will extend from the railroad bridge
westward. The design of the new track
is to accommodate the numerous coal
trains which are necessitated to await
passing trains. To this end a steam
shovel has been engaged the past week
leveling. The amount of earth handled
this machine in a day is simply
wonderful.
Last Friday a man was brought to
this place from Vienna, securely bound
by a strap. It seems that the man in a
crazy fit hitched a spirited team to a
moving machine and started on the
road for a ride. After riding a couple of
miles, during which he was thrown
from the machine two or three times by
the horses, and, strange to say, alighted
his feet every time, he was secured
as above stated. The man, whose name
is Edward Williams, is subject to these
fits. 1t is the purpose of the officers to
send him to Newburg this week.
