Query Box.
Rev. A. l.. S. BateDan has been re-
turned to this appointment by the
Methodist Conference, which closed
its session at BELLEVUE the fore part of
this week.
A straw stack standing in a field
about 40 rods south of the Union
School House, and belonging to John
Scott, was burned about 8 o'clock last
Friday evening. The origin of the
fire is a matter OF conjecture.
The School Board held q meeting
last Saturday morning, and by q
unanimous vote elected John l.. Cole,
Esq, as teacher of the higher depart
ment. The schools commenced on
Monday, thus ending their contest for
the present.
The Normal school opened on Tues
day with eight teachers and fine at
tendance of students.
Last Thursday night, as the big
hours were merging into the little
ones, a violinist living south Of town,
and others from Melmore accom-
panied by a gentleman from Bloom
vile, favored several of our citizens
with some spirited instrumental
music. Your correspondent was one
of the favored ones and will take this
opportunity to say, thank you,gentle-
men.
Mr.. A. w. Bishop, lately instructor
in vocsl music in the Normal School
has located here and will hold him
self in readiness TO teach classes in
vocal music or conduct musical con-
ventions.
Mr.. Bishop takes hold of his chosen
profession with earnest zeal.
Chamberlin & Pancoast having an
extensive undertaking business are
getting up fine new ltarse. 1t will
be a stylish affair.
The Star Hook and Ladder Com
pany went to Bloomville last Satur-
day afternoon and proved an even
match for the BlOomville company,
the race resulting in a tie, but the
Bloomville saloons proved to be more
than a match for a few of the Stars,
whom, We were very sorry to see.
came home in a condition which not
only disgraeed themselves, but in
jured the reputation of the company
and the town to which they belong.
Philip Griffin has moved his wagon
shop building to the north end OF his
lot, adjoining the alley, and has sold
twenty-five feet front on Washington
street to DR.. H. Spooner, who will
join a frame building to that of Mr..
Griffin and the whole will be put un-
der one roof, and finished off for busi-
ness purposes. The Doctor has al
ready commenced work. It will
make handsome building. There
will be twenty-five feet front between
that and the brick block of Stickney
& Griffin, the excavation for the cellar
(which is nearly completed. There is
favorable opportunity for some one
to purchase this space and build up in
connection with the parties now
building the brick.
The Griffith & Wedge saw mill, re-
Gently purchased by the B. & o. Rail-
road Company, and erected five miles
east of Republic, under the superyis-
ion of D. d. Ogden, Esq, sawed ON
Tuesday last, in ten hours, 700 rail-
road ties and 500 feet of bridge lum-
ber. Lively work that. Who can do
better?
The working force on the railroad
contract of Eaton&Co., D., in this vicinity,
has been considerably reduced and
more hands will be sent away soon as
the wagon work and shoveling is near
ly completed.
The event forshadowed in our last
transpIred according TO calculations,
to the mutual satisfaction of the con-
tracting parties, it is presumed, and
may be briefly stated in this wise:

man, at the residence of the brides
parents, in this village, Mr.. H. B.
Miller, of Usage City, Kansas, and

If the sweetness of the cake is an
omen of their sweetness toward each
other, all will go lovely. The happy
couple have departed for their western
home.

1873, Ida G., daughter of Joseph and
