WHY AUNT SALLIE NEVER MARRIED

"Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell
us why you never got married. You
remember you said once that when
you we're girl you was engaged to q
minister, and promised you would tell
us about it sometime. Now, aunt,
please tell u.s."
"Wcll, you see, when l was seven

beaux. The one that took my fancy
was young minister, very promis-
ing young man, and remarkably
pious aud steady. He thought q
good deal Of me. and kind of took
a fancy to him, and things went on
till We were engaged. One evening
he came to me and put bis arms

EPIZOOTIC TREATMENT.

Through the politeness of Cal.
Paige, agent of Wells, Fargo & Co..
and the N. w. Stage Company at
this city, we are furnisede the follow
ing article on the treatment OF horse4
attacked with the Canadian horse dis
ease. It is the treatment that IS
adopted by the Northwestern Stage
Company on their line from Boise
City to the Railroad, where their
stock has been more or less afflicted
with the disease. The article is sent
to Cal. Paige by Mr.. Morris, Super
intendent of the n. w. Stage Com
pany, and we are permitted to pub
lish it for the benefit of our citizens
The directions are as follows:
Horses that eat well. and do not
show weakness, should be worke,:
regularly in a walk, rubbed dry and
blanketed when returned to the sta
Bile, where the nostrils should be
washed out with tepid soap suds. Ii

time. If he does not eat, nurse him
carefully, rubbing him well, with
gentle exercise in the open air; when
he RECEIVERS his appetite and eats we'll.
work him carefully to the extent OF
his strength. If the horse chills, il
indicates lung fever. Take l ounce
aconite and 3 ounces of water, mix
draw out the horses tongue, giving
hlm 30 droops on the root of his ton.
que every hour until he is relieved
The liniment should be used freely OF
the throat or times day; be care
ful to give good rubbing from ear
to ear, especially on the glands. The
main point 10 to keep up good dis
charge from the nostrils, which gen
tie regular work in the open air best
accomplishes, unless it storms, wher
he should be covered with canvas or
blanket. Do not expose him to any
draft, over heat him at work or allow
him to chill; rub HIM thoroughly dry
after work and blanket him. Feed
bran mash or shorts with all the hav
and water he wants. A heaping tea
spoonful ofchorade ofpotash in buck :
ct Of fresh water for very four horses
twice day, should be given when the
disease is expected. If the horse i-
not carefully attended to, he becomes
liable to other serious diseases which
either kill or render him unfit for fiss
ture serviee-us no medicines, only
the above.

A NATiCk SCANDAL.
A wronged Husband Assisting His Frail
wife ia Eioping with the Man
OF Her Choice

About three years since n man
named A. W. Cox settled down in
this community. He was about 25
years old: single man, or so reported,
aud quite stylish in appearance.
For year past he has been on very
friendly terms with Mrs. Bell
Daniels, the wife of Mr.. S. o.
Daniels. The intimacy was carried
SO far as TO excite comment in the
community, and finally Mr.. Daniels
became suspicious that the friend
ship was being carried beyond the
bounds of propriety.
A few days since Mr.. Daniels left
home for Boston, informing his
wife that he would return on the
morning train, but changing his
mind he returned ut about 8 o'clock
III the evening, and arriving home
found the gay Cox and his fair young
wife enjoying an hour of mutual
entertainment Mt his own freside.
Cox retreated in good order, and
Mr. Daniels thereupon charged his
wife with infdelity, which she at
first stoutly denied, but subsequent
ly withdrew the denial, and informed
the husband that she loved Cox with
all her heart, and that henceforth she
would live with him and follow his
| fortunes.
On Saturday last Mrs. Daniels
proceeded to make good her threat.
She packed her wardrobe, and re-
quested brother to take her trunks
to the depot. and the request was
granted. She also asked the brother
to give her FIVE dollars.
The brother informed the husband
of the request, Dir. Daniels gave her
s25, telling her il she ever came to
want to apply to him for aid. Mrs.
Daniels left on the Boston train, and
it is presumed that the guilty Cox
and the frail woman are now in com.
pany with each other. Mrs. Daniels
had q pleasant Eome on Walnut Hill
and the husband, who is doing a fine
business as druggist. spent money
freely on his home and young wife
Mrs. Daniels is about twenty-three
years old. the pet of large family
and the young couple had a large
circle of warm friends who will grieve
over this rash act.
The last sad step was taken ir
spite of the remonstrances of hus
band, family and friends.

A BEAUTIFUL CUTTER.
Qulncey,s Carriage Factory.

Last evening Mr.. r. II. Quincy, manu-
f~acturer of fine carriages and sleighs, ship
ped to NJ. A. Elliott, Amherstburgh, Can
NADIA, the finest specimen Of a Portland
Cutter we have ever seen. 1t is No.
small compliment to Rock Island work
that it finds purchasers SO far east as this
sleigh goes, and Mr.. Quincy is entitled to
especial credit for a style of work that not
only reflects honor upon him but upon
Rock Island. Every part of this job de-
serves especial notice the timber, the
workmanship upon the wood, iron, paint
ing. ~ornamenting, and upholstery, 1t
would have been a fine thing if Mr.. Quin
cey could have placed that cutter on exhi-
bition in some show window IN Illinois

large number of curiosity -hunters and have
been universally praised as the best piece
of work ever turned out in this city. 1t

Walklsts.

1t is the boast of English women that
they beat the world in walking. And it is
a matter of regret, in America, that each
succeeding generation ofwomen here seems
to be getting more effeminate. Acting
upon this idea, a certain young gent in this
city offered a wager of a lady's first
class hat, that a certain young
lady could not walk from Eagle street to
Sears mill in South Rock Island in an
hour and a half. The wager was promptly
accepted, and yesterday the young lady
and one of her mates put their pretty feet
over that rOad-one in SO minutes, and
the other in 90! Misunderstanding the
young gents calculation very badly.
One walked out and the other walked in.
They we're accompanied by gentlemen and
carriages, and each had a chance to show
their nerve and powers of endurance.
Neither of them feel the worse for the walk
as both are in the daily practice of such
healthy outdoor exercise. If all girls
would wear stout shoes and exercise more
in the open air, the Doctors and druggists
would suffer some, hut society would be
the gamer.

pire Mistortune in a Family.

A shocking accident occurred in Dim
ock. Gould l. Cos tub and pail works in
Moline, yesterday-one Of a train Of dire
misfortunes which have fallen upon a worthy
family. Mr., Charles Carlstedt, one Of the
employees in the works, was explaining to a
visitor the manner in which his son had
an arm taken off in a planning machine last
year, and 10 extending his arm over the re
volying knife arm his shirt sleeve was
caught By a shaft, and in an instant his
wrist was pulled within range Of the
knives, and was cut and crushed just ex-
actly as his sons had been. As his arm
got fastened, MIR. Carlstedt cried for help
in agonizing tones, and the belt was remov-
ed almost instantly thereafter, but still the
cutting was also instantaneous, and had it
not been for promptness in stopping the
machine, the whole arm would have been
hacked to pieces. The injured man was
attended by DR.. Dawson, who amputated
the arm below the elbow.
The family seems fated to disaster. Mrs.
Carlstedt has a badly crippled hand and
arm, the result Of an accident while tend
ing a carding machine. Then the eldest
son lost an arm as above stated.-and nov
the father suffers a terrible affection.

Lawless Firemen.

There was another effort to give a fire

come from lawless members Of the fire de-

put upon his oath, and questioned. The
city authorities must punish these men or
yield up the city to lawless midnight rawl
ers. Which will they do?
