THE Dubuque Times says that the
youngest prisoner in the Jail of that coun-
ty is from Independence, and is only thir-
teen months old, her mother being incar-
cerated for violation of the revenue laws
We suppose this means Kate Ryan, who
with Tom, her husband, has been for a
year or two keeping up a contest with the
Revenue authorities over the right to sell
whisky without paying license. Kate and
Tom invariably come out second best in
these jousts with the government, but as
invariably, when released from DURANGO
vile, reassert the right TO vend the ezra
thur" without restriction by putting it in
practice and off to Jail one or the other OF
them goes again, suffering no little domes-
tic episode like the one above mentioned
to interfere with the programme. The
Times raises the legal point whether Hates
baby, being in durance without her con-
sent and for no fault of hers, will not be
entitled to bring suit for false 1mprlson-
ment at some future time. The point is
an ingenious one, and affords a hint for
investigation by the youngsters in the
profession.

GONE TO THEIR REST ToGETHER.-The
recent death of Mr.. Isaac Sufficool and
his wife, of Hazleton township, was an
event of more than usual interest and sad
ness. The old couple had both outliyed
the three score and ten years allotted to
the span of human life, Mr.. Sufficool be-
ing 80, and his wife rs; had we'll and
faithfully performed their part in the
world, walking hand in hand down life's
rugged pathway, and when the end came
they were not divided Mr.. Sufficool
died on Sunday morning, and the partner
of his tolls followed but three days after.
The suddenness and violence of the attack
which Frustrated them, led to the sup
position at first that they were poisoned,
but the physicians finally pronounced the
disease of typhoid malarial character.
Mr.. Suficool was one of the Oldest resi-
dents of Buchanan county, He came in
1S48 and settled on farm few miles
east of this city, but afterwards sold and
removed to Hazleton township, a short
distance south of the town, where they
lived till their death, respected by all,
and leaving sons and daughters to mourn
their loss. s.3,-

CHARITY.--A little incident was related
to us the other day which it gives us
pleasure to make mention Of, SURPRISING
names at the suggestion of our informant
A couple of little misses, school girls,
having their tender emotions stirred by
hearing that neighbor, an old lady, was
poor and needed comfortable clothing, of
their own accord, and with their own
pocket money, bought store of yarns and
zephyrs, and during the late vacation of
school manufactured number OF articles,
from the sale of which they secured mo-
ney enough to buy the old lady dress,
which they presented to her the other day.
1t was graceful act, and indicates an un.
selfshness and consideration for the I'M
fortunate that will beautify their lives SO
long as they shall live. Nothing so well
BELTS the young as that most graceful of
the virtues, Charity.

Millinery.

Mrs. O. M. Gillett and Mrs. Osgood
have just returned from the Eastern mar.
ket, with magnificent stock of Millinery
and Ladies Furnishing Goods. These
goods have been purchased for cash, and
the low prices at which they were bought
would astonish any one who buys on time.
The ladies can find at Mrs. Gillett's, next
door to the bridge, the largest stock of
Millinery Goods ever opened up in Indie
pendence. Mrs. Gillett desires to have the
ladies know that she can and will, at all
times, sell the latest style goods at the low

PRATT's IMPROVED SASH HOLDEN is the
name of most convenient and servicable
invention calculated to perform the func-
ton, and take the place of cords and
weights, at about quarter their cost. II
consists of rubber lined strip inserted in
the edge of the window sash, which is
caused to bear with adjustable pressure
against the window frame, and act as Il
weather stop to exclude wind and dust,
as we'll as support the sash in any desired
position. We have tried 1t, and can say
that it fully and satisfactorily performs
what is claimed for it. 1t is simple, but
valuble improvement.

pretty thoroughly advertised in the press

not commend itself to all who examine it

A HAIL storm of about three minutes
duration, Wednesday night, dropped some
ice nuggets in this region Of unusual size.
They were fully as large as "lumps of

of what might have happened had the
visitation been prolonged. Among the
casualties reported, is the death of little
bird up town, knocked to the ground from
its perch on tree by hail stone.

THE WoRKMEN's ANNIvERsARY The
celebration last Friday evening by Ever
green Lodge of the first anniversary OF its
organization, was carried out according
to programme; the interest of the occa-
sion being much enhanced by the pres
ence of quite number of the officers and
members of Fraternity Lodge, of Win
throp, with their ladies. After the trans
action of the regular business at the Lodge
room, the members, with their guests,
clad in proper regalia, marched to the
Baptist Church, to the music of the City
Band. There were already assembled q
large audience, and after invocation by
Rev. Bro. Shelter, the orator of the occa-
sion, Prof #. w. Graydon, was intro
duced, and delivered the address. We
cannot do justice to the excellence Of this
address. 1t was scholarly, refined, indi-
cative of thought, and giving evidence Of
thorough research and acquaintance with
history. The first part was devoted to a
discussion of the social and material ben
efts and humanizing tendencies arising
from fraternal association, and to the set
ting forth of the particular ends, aims,
teachings, and mission of the Order of
United Workmen. Taking for text that
peculiar feature in the teachings of the
Order that admonishes its membership to
get knowledge and TO become good citi-
zens, the speaker proceeded at some length
to trace the antagonism of the Roman
church and priesthood to popular in
telligence and education from the
earliest ages to the present time
This part of the lecture was rich In re-
search and felicitous illustration, land was
listened to with much interest. But nei-
Their time nor space will permit us TO do
full justice to the address.
At its conclusion the brethren and their
attendant ladies repaired again to the
lodge room, where an hour or two were
very pleasantly spent in a season of wit
and cengratulation, followed by games
and social pleasures. All voted it most
enjoyable time.
