tridges were discovered on the roof OF Ellwood
CARROTS building No. us Market street. They
had gone astray, having been harrassed by sports

and thus effected their capture. They are now
in his possession, but when the cunning season
IL over he will take them back to their rural
home, and give them their freedom.

An EPIDEMIC OF CoLDs.-There is prevailing
throughout this city, at this time, an epidemic Of
colds among people almost as general as was the
epi2ootc among the horses, a few weeks ago.
sometimes whole families are infected with
them, and contracted i'll euch manner as to lead
to the belief that they were communicated from
one member to another, just as infectious
diseases are spread. In a majority Of instances
these colds are light, but in some cases they are
very malignant and refuse to yield to the lindest
treatment. They also have tendency to a cgoupy
form. Are they the result of a contagion which
is spreading over the country, or do they arise

Railway Accident.

Last Friday night, as the freight
train on the Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway, and the passenger train on
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Minnesota
Railroad were coming into town, quito
a serious accident occurred. 1t seems,
from the evidence elected, that it has
been the rule for the train which arriv-
ed at the junction first, to have the
right of road, aud that It was the duty
of the switchman to throw the switch
for that train. As the two trains neared
the junction, on Friday night, at about
the same time, the freight little ahead
ard entitled to the track the switchman,
somehow, unaccountably threw the
switch 50 as to break the track, which
was not discovered by the engineer in
time to stop the train. The engine ran
off and breaking loose from the train,
rolled over and down an embankment
nearly twenty feet high, and although
bruised considerably, it was not severe
~ damaged. The engineer and Ere
man Jumped and escaped uninjurcd
The switchman has been discharged.

A WEEK or more sincc, two covered
wagons, each drawn by span Of horses
ano piloted by a vicious-looking bull
dog with short ears aud shorter tail,
hailiug from Charles City, Iowa, halted
in Austin. The occupants were two
burly-looking men and two bold-faced
females, who stopped here for the avow-
ed purpose Of starting a "retreat
for gentlemen" and accordingly rent.
ed . rickety old building in the
Second Ward for the purpose, paying
a months rent in advance. When
their intentions became known to the
owner Of the building he at once re-
funded the rent and advised the sus-
picious-looking occupants to "git."-
They took his advice, and last Sunday
packed up their traps and left town
with the intention Of making Rochester
their next point at which to start bust
ness. We don't charge the crowd
anything for this advertisement, bu.
hope they'll steer clear Of Austin in the
future.

arrangement the eastcrn.bound passen-
