his way TO work. He was smoking pipe. and at
the corner Of South Poplar and William streets he
put his pipe into his side coat pocket, and in few
moments afieward there was an excited and nc

a eonnagratlon. His side steps would have sur

not until they had burned nearly all the clothing

A NEW DEPARTURE.-some time ago. John
Emanuel, who was engaged on one of Lipperts
butter wagons, bought bill of furniture from J..
b. McCrea, agreeing to pay for it in sixty days, or
allow Mr.. McCrea to take 1t back. He had paid
for It in part when on last Saturday evening he
sold it to Joseph Mock, dealer in second hand
goods, for 49, and pOcketing the cash, left town
on the night train. Mr. McCrea heard Of this trans
action, and sent his wagon Immediately to the
house in which Emanuel lived, opposite the Jack
son hotel, and secured the furniture Just as Mock
was sending dray for 1.-The same purpose. The
loss falls on Mr.. Mock, and Emanuel Is beyond
reach, and nothing can be done in the matter.

sxITRswife is an earnest crusader, and smith
says It's right and proper that she should be. He
went into the country on last Sunday, aud while
walking up little hill in shady wood, he saw a
keg of beer rolling toward him. which frightened
him so that he fell to the ground. The keg rolled
on until It struck Smiths head with such force
that something fell out Of the end of it, and the
huid commenced flooding his face, and he had to
open his mouth to keep It from soiing his clothes.
That's what he told his wife when he came home
at one o'clock A. ~, but there are always two
sides to a story He still insists that 1t Is true.

AFTER meeting in favor Of license and free
whisky held Tuesday night last in the opem
House, addressed by Lou. Schaeiier and another
German named Zimmerman, u raid was made on
the Methodist Episcopal Church by some malic-
ious persons and several huge stones hurled
through the windows, breaking the glass and
shattering the sash. 1t was stated by one OF the
speakers that the Methodist Church was response
bic for the temperance crusade, and this no doubt
mpellcd some Of the poor, ignorant hearers to be-
come intoxicated and vent their rage on the
church building. Such arguments may be force
ible, but in an intelligent community they do not
carry conviction II license and whisky have no
other mode of warfare than exciting the passions
and prejudees Of the ignorant, we advise them to
give up the conflict, as such arguments only turn
the tide Of battle against them. Go TO the polls on
the 18th Of August against the New Constitution
and the License characterization american.

CLEAN UP.-The melon-cholen days have
come, the sclSlest Of the year, and our citizens
cannot exercise too much care in regard to sani-
tary measures. Each resident should voluntarily
make It his duty to remove all noisome and un-
pleasant accumulations from his premises not
only for the benefit Of those about him. but for the
inestimable good of himself and his own house
hold. Thousands Of people die during the sum
mer months from ailments induced solely by this
very cause Of uncleanliness, and many lives and
much sickness may be saved by q little exertion
on the part Of each individual in the interests Of
Of humanity. See that nothing remains upon
your premises that will in the least degree deterio-
nate the healthfulnes Of yourself and neighbors.
