DANCING term OF Prof. Shaw's
classes in dancing and etiquette will close
on Tuesday evening, June 9th, with n
public entertainment at Leytze's Hail.
The programme will comprise number
of exercises of novel and pleasing charac-
ter, calculated to show the progress made
by the classes. Prof. Shaw has been
most indefatigable in his efforts to impart
to his pupils the ease, dignity, confidence
and graceful manner essential to refined
society, and at the same time give them
such knowledge of dancing as an art as
will enable them to amuse themselves and
friends IN the drawing-room without teach
er or promptor In this effort he has been
successful, and the young people who
compose his classes have been much ben
Gifted by his instructions. He goes from
here to Dubuque, where he will spend the
month of July. We commend him to
our friends in that city as an accomplished
master of his art.

HAzLEToN, June, 18th 1876.
EDITOR BULLETIN order that oul
gratitude for the glorious weather, and
refreshing showers we are having, may
be recorded, send this to the BULLETIN
If prices on almost all kinds of products
in Iowa are down, it still makes the far
mer feel jubilant to see the good pros
poets for the growing crops. Small grain
in this vicinity looks well, and corn as a
| general thing has good start, and has
has been planted.
| Hazleton has sent her quote to the Cen.
tennial, our respected friend E. W. Ten
ney being among the number.
A most disgraceful scene was enacted
on our streets n few days since. One of
our peaceful citizens, passing quietly by a
| building which sports the sign of drug
store, was hailed by two women, who in
vited him to come in and drink or treat.
Upon his refusal they assaulted him with
the'foulest slang unfit to be repeated, and
further, went so far as to assault him
with kicks and blows, which much to his
credit he did not resent, though their &C.
lions excluded them from the Difference
accorded their sex. Upon being told to
desist by the owner of the building, they
turned their filth upon him. This all
transpired in the presence of j. p, who
was asked to stop the disturbance, but
only laughed at it. The excuse for this
fragrant outrage was the fact that the pro-
prietor of the "shebang" had been in
dicted for nuisance, and the assailants
wanted to get revenge on the man for his
testimony before the Grand Jury.
The coming campaign has not awaken
ed much interest as yet. This is the
eleventh anniversary of my discharge
from Uncle Sans service, and l am vivid
ly reminded of heroes like John A. Logan
whom followed to victory. l would
have been glad to vote for him for Presi-
dent, but as he is not candidate, can
hurrah for Blaine with good grace.
