THE EXCURSION.


Last Tuesday was a pleasant day. for
Austin. At 8 o'clock A. NJ, Sunday
School people from Nora Springs and vi
cinity, to the number of 400, arrived at
the depot in this city, for the purpose Of
enjoying an excursion and pic mic with
our Sunday Schools. They were met at
the cars by the committee Of reception,
and the Austin Cornet Band. Many we're
brought over in carriages, and many 9TH
ers enthusiastic and exhilcrated by the
freshness Of the morning b1eeze, preferred
to walk. The whole column was escort.

animated "! appearance. They crossed the

directly t9 jones' Hall, which fortunately
was lsfge eHAag4 ta afford room for all

A Good Story,

It appears that man had purchased
some wool which had been weighed and
paid for, and Mr.. Sheaf had gone to the
desk to get change for note. Happening
to turn his head while there he saw. in q
glass, which hung 50 as to reflect the shop
a stout arm reach up and take from the
shelfa heavy white oak cheese. Instead
of appearing suddenly and rebuking the
man for his theft, as another would, there
by losing his customer forever, the crafty
old gentleman gave the thief his change
as if nothing had happened, and then, un
der pretense of lifting the bag to lay it on
his horse for him, took hold of exclaim.

"Well, we'll, we won't dispute about the

The weather was fine last .Satu rday and
the track in splendid condition. Five
horses were entered, viz Prince, Austin
Pete, Topsy, Nellie and Butcher Girl. Tie
first heat was taken by Nellie, and the
other three by Topsy, Prince being second
and Pete third. Some Of the horses be-
haved splendidly.- Prince can do his best
without breaking, if properly driven, but
he is not expected to improve as some of
the others will. Pete made some fine
bursts Of speed, showing great power yet
undeveloped, but he must be handled with
some care or he will acquire habit of
breaking. He is too young on the track
to be crowded at present. Butcher girl
did not do justice to herself, she is really
a fine stopper, and had previously shown
considerable honesty in her gait, but in
the last race she was exceedingly tickle.
Her driver may have been to blame. We
don't know. Nellie is fine young ami
NAL, and behaves nobly, but she is out of
condition and must be rested. If cared
for properly she may come out finely, but
persistent driving will soon ruin her. Top
~, after the first mile, behaved admirably,
and elected applause for the superiority
Of her performances. If her disposition
to be facetious can be overcome, and she
be kept to her gait she will prove one OF
the best animals in this part of the State
She took the first and Prince the second
money: There was a large crowd Of spec
tators, and everything passed off most
agreeably. <..>~:

Painful Occurrence.

Last Monday, in the southeastern por-
ton of the town of Oronocco, little boy,
aged five years, son of Mrs. Louisa Ingcr,
a widow, came to his death in a singular,
and painfully sudden manner. An older
brother burning fire crackers near the
house, put one into glass ink bottle, and
touched it off. The exploding of the fire
cracker burst the bottle nto fragments,
when small piece of the glass flew and
struck the little boy on the neck, ruptur.
ing the jugular, from which he bled to
death in about five minutes.-Record and

Major VanValkenburg, formerly an es-
teemed citizen but now of La Crosse, made
us call this morning. From him we
learned that the firm Of Basselt, Hunting
& Co.. and VanValkenhurg, are already
building an elevator at Van Station, four
miles south of this city,-that they have
the material for another on the ground at
Lyle, and that third one will be built
here as soon as suitable grounds for the
location can be obtained. These addition.
al facilities for moving wheat, are a fair
index to the development of the county,
and afford encouragement to the various
industrial Operations.
