Carrying concealed weapons often leads
young men into trouble which they would
avoid were they not rmed. Iii a cowardly
practice, and valuable lives are often taken
by miserable wretches. We hope our officers
will use every means to discover and arrest
every one who is guilty of the crime. and
there are many. A rigid enforcement of
the law, and a few heavy fines would have
the effect of breaking up this evil practice.

Professor Dowland gave readings at the
court house on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights. We were unable to attend the latter,
but the first was excellent. He has u re-
markably fine command of voice, and readily
changes from one tone to another. His
negro and French character sketches were
lnimItable. The house should have been
crowded, as we seldom have an opportunity
Of enjoying such a treat as he gave us. 1t is
worth double the money to hear him render
. Shakespearean drama.

MIR. J. H. Schultz died very suddenly at
his residence, in this city, on Tuesday
night. He had been sick a couple of days,
but was not considered in a dangerous con-
ditton. He was a man of determination and
great physical strength, and his illness was
scarcely spoken of, and the announcement
OF his death was a shock to his large circle
of acquaintances. He had lived in this city
for about sixteen years, and was well
known, Mr.. s. was peculiarly honest IN all
his dealings, a loving father and husband, q
generous citizen, and a kind neighbor. His
remains were buried Thursday evening by
the Leiderkranz Society, and q very large
number of Germans and Americans ATTENDED
the funeral. The services at the grave were
conducted by MIR. N. Haerle, who delivered
3 very able and impress sive address in the
German language, and several funeru
dirges were sung by the L%elderkranz society
Of which he was an honored member. After
which prayer was offered by Rev. r. z
Kerr, of the Presbyterian church. He leaves
q wife and three children, who have the
sympathy of numerous friends.
Messrs. Phelps and Smith will he here
without fail or Monday. Turn out and
hear them.
