A young man named Dallas Halstead,
aged 25 years committed suicide at Ham
let, Mercer Co., on Friday of last week, by
shooting himself three times, the last time
through the heart, He was an intelligent
young man and respected by all who knew
him. He was, for the last few years, sub
ject to fits, which, it is supposed, had been
brought on by the bite of mad dog, some
years ago and it is generally supposed that
he was led to commit the rash act through
fear of hydrophobia, as lately he was
troubled with fits more than usually Sc
we're.

OF COURSE He is HAPPY.-Johnson
the graceful and Factions editor of the
O,sior, has been formally presented with the
prize, as most popular editor, by COM
mittee from the Catholic fair He makes
his prettiest bow to the compliment through
the local columns of the Union this morn
ing. The exuberance of his happiness will
he manifest as he trips lightly about the
city gathering items and absorbing smiles.
Should he walk sideways, think nothing
strange, he's got that inkstand in his pock-
ct Should his hat rest on one side of
that Websterian brow, don't notice it, he
imagines he's got that gold pen over his
ear. IF he shakes you vigorously by the
hand, forgive him, its only to show you he
isn't proud-though he is the most popu-
lar editor. Waiter johnson, stand upl--
Hereafter you must take front seat.

BURGLARS ABoUT.-Some time last
night after twelve o'clock, unknown parties
entered Kieser's grocery store, by taking
out broken glass in the door, After
opening the money drawer and finding
nothing, they ransacked the store and left
by the back door, leaving it wide open,
without taking anything of value. They
probably knew Kieser did big business
and expected to get lots of cash.
About the same time Henry Simmon's
saloon was opened by taking tin substi-
tute for glass out of the door and turning
the key that was in the lock. Here the
villains were more successful, and took
about seventy five dollars worth of cigars.
IF the fellows are not caught what an ex-
cellent chance it will be for the Union to
abuse Baily Davenport and the police.

Did you ever notice that the fellow who
won't take paper because by withhold
ing his patronage he thinks he can break it
up, is the first man to gobble the copy of
some paying subscriber? This looks a
little inconsistent. but it's fact. This
kind of man will swear that he wouldn' t
touch the worthless sheet with pair of
tongs, but he will sit around stores and he
tells and saloons and before the paper is
dry from the press will pounce upon it
like duck upon Junebug Others with
no objection to the journal, will fail to take
it through stinginess, and then sponge
from their neighbors in the same manner :?

proprietors of the Boston Bazaar This
establishment, commencing only a short
time ago, has been doing, during the past
two years, so extensive a business as to
force them to seek new and more commo-
dious quarters, which they have in Gay
fords Block. 1t is as good location as
there is to be found in the city, which, with
the enterprise and ability of the Gates
Bros, must largely increase their growing
business The rear, of the store, some
fifty feet, is divided off by railing for a
carpet room where they propose to show
the largest stock in the city The front of
the room is furnished with all the neces-
sary shelving, counters, ETC., while the
cashiers desk is in the centre On the
whole it is a handsome store and does
credit to Messrs. l.. S. Gates & Co., and
to the public spirit of the builder. Let
