oaks Of Califorria-&axes more vigorous
as he increases in years. By his present
wife, (his seeond), be had ten children
born one at time, and on Sunday night
at 30 minutes to - and Monday morning at
half past Il, his wife presented him
couple OF fine boys. Come friend Gregory
II you continue to wax in vigor in that
way, justice TO your heirs will necessitate
a consultation with DIR. Inman on your
case.
OFF FOR CoLoRADo.-Mr. @. II. Ramsey
and wife, for many years residents Of this
city, and Mr.. Has Ford, son Of Mrs. VIM.
Hayley, left on Tuesday night last for
Green City, Colorado. II pleased with the
country, they will make Colorado their
future home-if not pleased, they win
probably return 70 Jackson next Fall. We
wish them health and prosperity, but stiIl
hope to see them "home again" ere many
moons.
STRANGE OBJECTIoN.-SOme men object
to having their accounts presented through
the Post Office. We. think their objections
strange, especially when it's considered that
such is the custom in commercial circles
and that it is very difficult for busy man
TO spare the time from his business requir-
ed to see all his debtors in person. Besides
il seems TO us rather more pleasant to dun
and be dunned through the Post Office,
than IN other way.
A REFINED RAT.-An extra large aAd
venerable rat was killed under an old door
step, on shannon street Saturday. He was
evidently a refined rat, because his man.
SION was well supplied with the very finest
Italian guitar and violin strings, all in
good order. II is quite evident that he cul-
tivated the muses. and perhaps taught
music and dancing TO the young rats Of the
city.

AN ENTERTAINAIENT.-T ladies OF
St. Luke's Aid Association, propose TO give
an Entertainment at Tomlin's Hall on
Friday evening the 18th April, where Ice
Cream and Cake Of best quality will be
found. No Tickets. Admittanee % cents
A splendid band OF music has been en-
gagged for the occasion.
A FREE FtGHT.-On Saturday night last,
three or four festive human distilleries in
dulged in the gouge eye, smash nose exer-
cise-called a free fght-in a saloon near
the Machine Shops. Alderman Kelly
cropped in on them and tried to separate
the gladiators, but they were too many for
him. No policeman being near and the
| Alderman's ebenezer being well up, he
seized a poker and lit in among them in
decidedly lively and promiscuous manner,
scattering the combatants like chat and
bringing order out of confusion in jiffy
The Alderman and his poker were pro-
claimed "first class peace makers" On the
spot, and the free fighters paid literally for
their fun and lesson on Monday, after a
somewhat lengthy interview with the Re-
corder.
GooBER PEAS VS.. PoLICE.-On Tuesday
avenerable darkie, plethoric with funds, got
drunk and expatiated loudly on the streets.
In the intervals Of his most eloquent ora
tons, he purchased goober peas and freely
distributed them among The police present.
However, when his funds were exhausted
and the supply Of goober peas ''played
out.Y a policeman who didn't get any OF
the COOLERS came VI, arrested and calaboosed
the orator and pea distributor. FINALE
Certain policemen got pockets full Of goS-
beers. and the city i've dollars. MORAL
Don't get drunk and crate upon the streets
unless YOU have an inexhuastible supply OF
"goobers."
THAT IMPRovENENT.-Many are the
guesses leveled at that unique improvement
In the lower hall OF the Court House, and
deem is the mystery thereof. Some thought
IL mad reference to the convenience OF q
couple Of longitudinal members Of the
County Court; others thought 1t was for the
purpose Of testing the skill and stsadiness oil
aim OF those who occupied the rooms above
one gentleman who was questioned by a
staggering devotee Of Bacchus, As to Wha'
0that thing was intended for" replied
.sfor that class of lawyers, court officials
clients and hangers on who carry more II
their stomach to be elected through theil
mouths, than in their heads" However
the thing still remains a mystery, and tn
County Court now In session seems stub
bornIy determined to throw no light on tn
dark and doubtful subject.
THE KATIE PUTNAM TRoUPE.-Thi
superb Comedy Troupe closed an engage
ment Of three nights in this City on Wed
nesday evening. They were greete
throughout their stay with crowded houses
> and pronounced by all by far the Del
3 troupc that ever visited this City. Ther
r was not an inefficient actor or actress
I the Company, and every character was su
E tanned to the life. Miss Katie is Jewe
indeed, and we are authorized to pronoun'
D her "Jackson's favorite." She is star
!, the first magnitude, and compares fayo
e ably with any on abe stage. She is spr1gh
Is ", natural, womanly and rresistio
|, charming in every character, keeping b
d audience, like pendulum, constantly
d brating between smiles and tears. II
n singing was superb and always applaud
d TO the encore. All Jackson unites with
in saying-"Come back, Katie, come back
e, and we are happy to announce that
lie will be with us again during the Fair.
&c ARRESTED FOR THREATENING
~ SHoor.-Mr. Richard Matthews, wage
" maker on Liberty Street, was arrested
% Saturday and fined SO and cost, for dra
al ING a gun on Mr.. John Vsnn and threat'
Ms ing TO shoot him. He was taken wit
nc states Warrant on Monday, charged W
sn the same Cffence against Mr.. Jas. r Val
Sr. 1t seems that a negro, working
Vi John Vann, had wheel mended at NJ
IN thews' shop and failed to pay for il
y Matthews seeing the negro In town W
y, the wagon, on Saturday, went and took
mt wheel he had mended OF and put it in
iAi Shop. John Vann went down and
manded its delivery and hence the gun
is PRODUCTION. On Monday Jas. r. Vann,
i'll attempted to retake the captured wheel
to charges that Matthews introduced the |
ZEN again. Matthews denies this and there
est matter rests.
