Turner Hall emit.

The entertainment at Turner Hall last
Saturday evening to commemorate the pay
ing OF the bonds of the Turner Association
was successful and pleasant affair. The
Vocal and Instrumental portion of the pro-
gramme, which was participated in by the
Musical Society, Concordia, the Watertown
Quartette Club, and Prof J. Miller's Brass
and String Band was finely rendered, Civ.
ing entire satisfaction to all present. Con-
trary to the advertised plan no drawing Of
bonds for payne Mt took place, the societ y
nnding..it within their ability to pay all bonds
that would be presented. The holders of the
bonds of the Turner Society were notified
by Mr.. Theodore Rack to prese ut them
to the Treasurer, Mr.. L. Kehr, for payment
and the money would be ready for their
liquidation. This announcement was a
fattering one for the Society to make, and
shows the good healthy financial condition
of the or ganization.

Some twenty arrivals at the Bidwell
House last week.
1t is expected that the Bidwell House
will be finally completed this week.
Boats on Spring Lake are becoming
plenty. Emmett Brothers, have just COM
pleted one.
A sensible man of our town says, in re-
lation to lightning rods, that rather than
put the lightning rod on his house he would
prefer having a tall tree GEAR the house,
and in that case he should lay the lightning
rod on tue ground in order to make the
thing safe.
Friend Gee, of the Whitewater Register,
and Prof. Rock wood, of the Normal School,
were in town Monday last and took look
at some of the Palmyra eccentricities and
natural curiosities among which WAS the
mammoth Spring. If any one doubts as
to their having been here well repaid for
the time expended, let them be questioned
and if necessary their affidavits taken.
The house of Mr.. Henry Munger, in the
west part Of the town, was struck by light
ming about O. clock on Sunday morning
The lightning struck the chimney, passin g
down the chimney and pipe to the stove in
the lower part of the house, there dividing
portion moving westward, lengthwise the
floor, tearing up strip about three inches
wide leaving it in slivers. The other por-
ton Of the fluid passed southwark along
the floor and over the carpet, making its
scorched N ark, and out under the door sill
At the time, Mr.. Munger, wife and three
children were sleeping in an adjoining
room below, and boy and hired girl occu
pied two rooms above the boy sleeping in
the room where the lightning made its pas.
sage. When the crash came all were
brought to their feet, but we are happy to
to state no one of the number were injured

Sudden Death.

Another alarmingly sudden death has oc-
Cured in our midst, that of Mr.. Eegert, a
painter, who died at his residence in the
I'd Ward last Monday evening. During the
forenoon he complained of not feeling very
WELL but did not consider his case bad
enough to have q doctor sent for as his
wife suggested. In the afternoon he laid
down and with the setting sun sank in to
the sleep of death, stern reminder Of the
uncertainty of this life. Mr.. Eggert was
only about 2s years of age. He leaves
no children.

"Mind your Ps aud Qs" had its origin in

upon the wall or door. At the head of the

stood for pints and quarts, and as the num-
bers mounted up we can imagine one kindly
rustic saying to another: "Mind your ps

with sew ere accident while at work in

sadness surrounding them, leaving not only
a kind husband to mourn her untimely de-
cease, but family of seven children be-
hind her, the eldest not yet fourteen years
OF age, and the youngest a babe only one
month old. Her funeral was held on Sun

an affectionate mother.
