The Delta City Cornet Band boys
Rladdened the hearts of the people resid.
ing near the corner of Eleventh and Wal
nut streets, on Tuesday evening. by Civ
ing them a prolonged serenade. The
boys are proud Of their new and beauti-
ful Instruments, and well they may be,
for In tone they are excellent. The mu-
sic played by the band is also fine, and
has created considerable comment on the
part of the citizens. One piece in partic-
ular, II practice is kept up, will not fail
to draw many hattering words from all
who chance to hear it, and that is, ISL.
yer Threads Among the Gold" What
is needed now to make the Delta band
hard to excel is practice, and we hope
they will not neglect 1t.

Tn. Me,hod,,, Smelling Match.

As Iiarrell of the Gdz,tte says, I'VE
have got 1.-THE spelling match fever
and bad case of il at that. The next
match is the one 10 be given by the la
dies of the Methodist church, at the
| church parlors, this evening. The per-
sons into whose hands the arrangements
for the entertainment were placed, have,
we are credtably informed, completed
every particular part Of them, and that
the spelling match will be success there
is no room for doubt. The programme.
as il now stands, embraces select reading,
singing aud spelling. Mrs. W. T. Wright
will contribute to the entertainment a
select reading. which we are certain will
be of much interest. Beside this. there
will be some splendid music by members
Of the choir. The committee of arrange
inents wish us to state that the
amusements for the evening will
begin at precisely eight o'clock, aud
it is their desire that every one who can,
should be present. The prize offered for
the best speller is very appropriate and
beautiful one, being either Webster
Unabridged Pictorial Dictionary, or
Macauley's History OF England, beauti-
fully printed and bound. There is much
speculation as to who will carry away the
prize. Some are Of the opinion that Miss
Mckee will be the lucky person. while
| others are confident that Miss Houston
will come out of the contest. with flying
colors. The male spoilers of the city
don't seem to sell very high at the pool
box, the people being disguised with the
effort made by them on the occaJ SION Of
the Presbyterian spelling MATCH There
is certainly very choice lot II sport in
store for those who attend, AUD we pre-
dict that the audience will be . very large
| one.

1t is susceptible of easy proof that the
Sewing Machine has been greater bles-
sing to the masses of American people
than any invention of the present century.
Nothing else has done so much to save
the lives and health Of the wives and
mothers, the patient, overworked women
of the land, who, as class, most needed
relief from the burtheps of everyday
life. Every father and husband fails in
his duty if he neglects to cndow his

the Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machine.

they Thought lie was Dsad.

Yesterday morning, a little German
boy, residing in the lower part of the
city, with his parents, wanted to have a
little sport, and accordingly mounted a
colt belonging to a gentleman Of the
neighborhood. No sooner was the ur-
chin seated upon the back of the
animal than 1t lifted him gently into the
air, and he fell to the ground, fiat upon
his stomach, where he lay, insensible.
The mother and sister of the boy saw
the mishap Of their beloved, and ran to
his assistance, wringing their hands and
sobbing in the most heartrending man
ner. Upon arriving at the spot where
the boy lay, they discovered that to all
appearances he Was dead, and
the sobs and hand wringing grew more
touching. The boy was picked up and
carried to his home, when suddenly he
came to lite, and after a moment or two
rolled from the bed, when II struck
the mother and sister that the wind had
been knocked out of the lad, and nothing
more. Their tone suddenly changed,
and the mother said: "D-n your little
hide, If ever you get on another horse,
and scare me that way again, hope he'll
kick your Internal mean head off," and
she caressed him upon the cheek with
the back Of her hand, the same making
him yelp with pain. The sister also
joined in with, "You always were id
little fool and the sooner you re dead the
better it'll be for us aud you too" and
Johnny left the house with Big ball up
town, boys-big ball up town." none the
worse for his tumble.

The following business was disposed
OF by His Honor, Judge Bross, yester-
day: The first case was that of a colored
man, who gave his name as Irwin Max
Well, whom Officer LaIIue had bagged
for stealing coat, the property of Il man
named Henry Wilson, valued at five dol
lars. The evidence in the case did not
seem sufficient in the mind of the Judge
TO convict the defendant, and he was al
lowed TO go in peace.
Officer Wooten has become tired of
seeing stock, such as horses, cows, mules,
hogs, etc, running at large upon the
public highway, and has made up his
mind to put stop to it. With this view,
he took into custody man named Mel
son, who he alleged is the owner OF
hogs, and allowed the same to run at
large. The Judge, after considering the
case, fined Nelson three dollars and costs
and sent him to the lookup for four days
! He will labor on the streets.
Matt Keys was arrested by Officer
Wooten for the same offence, but the evi.
dencc in his case was not deemed strong
enough to convict him, and he was set a,
liberty.
The last case was that Of Louis vii.
llams, the negro arrested In HowiC
Brothers cellar, last Saturday night,
while in the act of stealing hams. The
Judge, after hearing of Louis bad con,
duct, placed him under six hundred dol
lars bail; in default of payment, he wa.
sent to the county Jail to await the action
Of the circuit court at its next term.
